Twitter reacts to Cavs blowing up their roster
The Cleveland Cavaliers completely blew up their roster on Thursday, shuffling multiple players in and out as they reshaped the team prior to the trade deadline.
Gone are Isaiah Thomas, Dwyane Wade, Iman Shumpert, Channing Frye, Jae Crowder and Derrick Rose. In are Larry Nance Jr., Jordan Clarkson, George Hill and Rodney Hood. That all happened in three separate trades.
The whirlwind of trades caused Twitter to explode, and they certainly reacted accordingly. Here’s a look at some of the reactions to all the Cavs’ moves:

Cavs making trades like when you change the video game setting to approve anything. But getting solid players in return, getting someone to take Shump should be applauded lol

The Cavs got rid of nearly half their roster with three separate deals all within a few hours of each other. That is maddening.
