OK, Let's Re-open the Trade . . . for Real

Cavs: We want additional compensation.

Celtics: The Brooklyn pic was additional compensation. It was unprotected.

Cavs: We want more.

Celtics: Why?

Cavs: Because our doctors tell us IT is going to miss time.

Celtics: You already knew that.

Cavs: But now we don't know how much.

Celtics: Ok, then let's re-open the Brooklyn pic, too.

Cavs: Huh?

Celtics: This is how it will work:

IT plays 68-82 games the Brooklyn pic is protected 1 through 3

IT plays 50-68 games the Brooklyn pic is protected at 1

IT plays 20-49 games the Brooklyn pic is unprotected and we'll add a second rounder of our choosing

IT plays fewer than 20 games and misses the playoffs, and we'll add a first rounder of our choosing.

Or you can just pass the physical and we can all move on.

Yep... that seems to be the going sentiment these days.

Had a similar, less-intricate, solution.

It would never fly though, because it would expose the REAL reason the Cavs are milking this: Dan Gilbert went to Altman and said, "Whoa! I didn't know Isaiah wasn't ready! We need to get more or we'll look bad!" Altman (after sighing), "Ooookay boss."
