    I feel like were saving it thinking someone gets released or bought out.

    Works good for both teams. Once LeBron leaves they'll still have enough talent to compete in the Leastern conference

    The real prize is likely that 2018 Nets pick. With this being Cleveland, it probably ends up #1 again. They reportedly wanted Tatum, so the pick is a nice compromise.

    this does help hedge against a potential rebuild for sure

    Rose and IT will be a lock down backcourt on defense

    Overrated bust turning down 17.5 per? I wouldn't pay him 10 million. Useless player other than to be a back up PF.

    Dung effect. mediocre FAs are telling teams, give me more than the corpse of Luold or I won't sign, team execs then say, "No thanks, I'd rather hold on to my job unlike Kupcrap."

    Luol is probably listening to Travis Scott in his porsche having a ball on the way to Hollywood BLVD at some roof top he reserved. Champagne is already on ice and the DJ has Drakes fake love on stand by.

    Seriously, most overrated by far, evertime someone brings up his career avg, they ALWAYS have to go to advance metrics to show hes worth anything, he has to play C, has to play in a certain style and has to have a certain type of pg to be effective...if you need that many scenario to show h9w good you can be it means youre really not that good to begin with

    If you are a true max player, you'll get a max offer from multiple teams.

    Woj Bo......WojTF!








    When sh.IT hips the fan....

    I love this so much! The C bags look sooo bad in trading IT and then with some of their fan base lighting his jersey on fire, Lebron returns the favor by lighting up into their ungrateful @rses (looks like future Laker material to me). But if the trade gets rescinded, you got a pissed off IT and Jae coming back (btw, how can the C bags top trading a man that lost his sister and still suited up for them in the playoffs? By also dealing a guy that just lost his mother...can't make this ish up!)

    Meanwhile if the Cavs end up accepting this deal despite IT's hip, you know that all but means Lebron is gone, cause they value that Brooklyn pick (ie likely future overall 1st) more than competing for the now around Bron. IT is probably facing the 2017/18 season at less than full strength or worse, probably not the same ever again.

    And if this trade does end up going through, you know the Cavs will be asking for more of Boston's trade capital in order to avoid an awkward situation where IT comes back to Ainge...and of course Boston will have to surrender it.

    Either way, Gilbert and Ainge both got egg on their face...or is that something else, as Laker fans collectively zip up their trousers.

    hip injuries are serious. i've wondered about the decision not to have surgery, and the fact that thomas isn't running right now is kind of a big deal.

    problem is that a) no way miserly ainge is giving up anything of value to sweeten things and b) the cavs don't really want to void the trade.

    cleveland will probably get a couple second rounders or something. but man, that makes it a tough deal for them. the short-term contention angle is shot, which was pretty crucial to the trade.

    a really ballsy move is to reach out to lebron and ask him about waiving his no-trade clause right now.

    IF Clev still goes through with the trade knowing IT will be hampered all year, I suggest we offer up JC for IT/Frye, gives Clev another solid scoring guard next to James, we clear more cap space....next up Denchor
