The Athletic NBA Daily
Jimmy Butler, Kevin Durant, De'Andre Hunter and the Trade Deadline

Versus something that's going to be available in the summer, in my opinion, because they get the next few months to figure all this stuff out. And they already got a jumpstart on building this team around Luca by picking up Mark Williams. And I think the LeBron and Luca thing is going to be, I think it's going to work. I'm not worried about those two guys working on the offensive end.

It's all defensive. But, you know, again, we need to see them play. Sam, there were other moves.

Can I jump in before we move on? I just to add to the LeBron discussion, I think it's worth noting. And, you know, we'll see how this ages if it holds up OK.

I'm now of the opinion that the LeBron Luca thing is probably going to be awesome because partly because, and I'm talking on the court, but also just, I mean, my goodness, you can't ask for a better fit with Luca and all the conditioning and health concerns. Go put him next to the guy who is the best of all time at taking care of his body.

And also LeBron and his family love living in LA so much that, I think if he got sideways in this situation and it turned sour when it comes to his part in Laker land, then he might end up having to retire somewhere else. And I think that that is enough to make him say, you know what? I'm reading the room. Let's go. I'm going to be the Luca whisperer and try to make the most of this. I love it.

He's going to be Yoda. Is that what you're saying, LeBron? I'm like eight years old, but yeah. He's going to be Yoda. Let's see. The Cavs, they pick up DeAndre Hunter. They're already a championship contender. I think this solidifies that in my book. How do you feel about that move? How did they pull that off?

No, I love it. And this one, admittedly, I don't have a lot of the inside stuff on how the talks came together. But, you know, you're talking about George Niang and Karis LeVert and some draft capital. I like it. I mean, DeAndre Hunter, two-way player. having a fantastic year. You know, the Cavs, as much size as they have, we know physicality at times is an issue for them.

So more versatility, more kind of, you know, chippiness and aggressiveness on the wings, a little bit more edge, which is when the Cavs play Boston, when they, you know, play OKC with what they bring defensively. It's just another very, very strong role player. to a team that has been incredibly dominant, you know, and, and until recently it was on a historic pace.
