Last night, the Cleveland Cavaliers took over Twitter by trading Dion Waiters to the Oklahoma City Thunder and acquiring J.R. Smith and Iman Shumpert from the Knicks, as part of a three-team deal.

After that deal was announced, Cleveland-without Kyrie Irving and LeBron James-fell to the lowly Philadelphia 76ers, 95-92. This was Philly’s first home win of the season, and rookie first-rounder Joel Embiid wasn’t going to spurn the opportunity to take a little shot at LeBron on Twitter after the game.
