Here's How Fans Reacted to the Surprising Cavaliers Trades
Thoughts?

Just a few hours ago, the Cleveland Cavaliers shocked the basketball world by confirming the trades of four star players: Isaiah Thomas, Derrick Rose, Dwyane Wade and Channing Frye. It started with the Cavs trading guard Isaiah Thomas — who has been struggling since his move to Cleveland — to the Lakers. This was then followed by trades of Wade back to the Miami Heat, Rose to the Utah Jazz, and Frye, who is also headed to the Lakers.
In return the Cavs will gain Jordan Clarkson and Larry Nance Jr. from the Lakers, Rodney Hood from the Jazz and George Hill from the Sacramento Kings. With Cleveland’s remade roster, fans quickly took to social media to express their thoughts on the situation. Check out some of the fan responses and memes below.
