The Trade

Morning, kids...feel like talking the NBA?...the over-hyped Cleveland Cavs were in a must trade position due to the disgruntled PG Kyrie Irving...who didn't want to be the wing man for LeBron James anymore...got it?...that is and was the issue...so, the Cavs offered Irving to EVERYONE!...allegedly...even to the GSWarriors for one of the Big 4 there...the Thompson kid...ha ha...just a giggle and there was no interest...

Alas, there was somebody a really nibbling on the bait...right in their own back yard, so to speak...in the east...them Boston Celtics...loaded with a gaggle full of future draft picks...and some desire to have Irving as their PG...a deal was done...they gave in return, their PG, a swingman, an I don't know who he is, and a future draft pick via the Nets (has to be a good one)...4 fer 1...of course, the key for Cleve was Isiah Thomas...

Let's look...there is just ONE team that can combat the Cavs in that side of the bracket...yup, the Celts...and now...in the Horse's mind...the better bet!...Cleveland needs shooters...they need a real, bonafide coach...they didn't get either...Boston now has ammo to win the east outright...so...bet a quid on 'em...

Had a great time at the races yesterday...actually won just less than a $100...which was diminished by a controversial ruling by them stewards...I had a longer shot win...$10 on it to win/place...and they took it down to 2nd...booo...still cashed OK, but it was like 13-1...you do the math...I was upset...they almost NEVER DQ a hoss...boooooo...
