The Cavs traded EVERYONE and it broke Twitter

The NBA trade deadline is the best day of the year on Twitter.

The Cleveland Cavaliers went on an awe-inspiring trade run before the NBA trade deadline, with each Woj Bomb breaking Twitter more impressively than the last. It began with a simple enough deal centered on Isaiah Thomas, whom most fans wanted to see off the team.

So, a totally logical trade was met with reasonable responses.

But the Cavaliers weren’t done yet — not by a long shot.

Naturally, the responses escalated.

Oh, you thought that was all? That’s cute.

Aaaaaaaand this was the bomb that broke everyone.

Oh, NBA, we love you so much. Nobody could take a single day and blow it up the way you do at the trade deadline. This is sports at their best.
