Have you been underwhelmed by the lack of trades prior to the NBA trade deadline this year? Sigh. Us, too. You know things are bad when the world goes crazy over a trade involving Steve Blake, Kent Bazemore, and MarShon Brooks. And it doesn't look like things are going to pick up much today.
A short time ago, the 76ers and Cavaliers agreed to make a deal. That deal will send Sixers center Spencer Hawes to the Cavs in exchange for…two second-round draft picks and some expiring contracts! Er, not exactly a blockbuster trade, eh?
Let's make the most of it, though. Right after Hawes got traded, we noticed that a bunch of people posted photos of Hawes rocking Dipset gear on Twitter (WTF?!). So we did a little bit of digging around and—wouldn't you know?—it turns out Hawes is a huge Dipset fan. So in honor of him getting dealt to Cleveland, we turned up Hawes' new theme song ("Get It in Ohio," DUH!) and found a few photos of him wearing Dipset gear:

And for more shots of him in Dipset gear, you can also check out this photo gallery that Sports Illustrated put together a few years back while Hawes was attending the University of Washington. For whatever reason, Hawes gave SI a tour of his dorm room and did it while wearing a Dipset shirt:
Anyway we can get Cam to give Hawes honorary Dipset status now that he's going to get it in Ohio? Ha.
Yo, who said this year's NBA trade deadline wasn't going to any fun?!?
