Still nothing arghh , Bosh in Houston would be awesome they need him. Melo and Lebron will probably stay put, so that leaves Love as the big question.

haha houston is trash, bosh would make them even worse. No defense, harden is a joke. I'd like it because I think philly gets Lin and a pick out of it so they can clear salary. Praying for Melo to the Bulls.

ehh, i can see that houston is trying to put four on the perimeter and have d12 around the basket a la the svg orlando teams.

lol. that shit would only work in the east though.

You're an idiot if you truly think bosh would make the Rockets worse. He'd start at the 4 over terrence jones who is defensive liability as much as Harden. Albeit he's only been in the NBA for a year, year and a half. Doesn't matter though Bosh got a carlos lee esque contract from Miami,

And James/Irving/Wiggins ? Yikes

Cavs have no bench, Kyrie can't shoot, and I'm supposed to trust a rookie and Bennett?

@thewilleasley · « **Reply #1940 on:** July 12, 2014, 03:05:53 PM »

the Pau move is interesting if they also bring in Mirotic as well. Those 2 alongside Taj & Noah would give the Chicago the most depth in the frontcourt across the league. I still feel they need another good SG or SF but I definitely think they did a job addressing their scoring issue despite not getting Melo. McDermott, Mirotic, & Pau should boost their offensive significantly. I feel like karma's on Rose's side and he's gonna come back to his All-star ways. He won't have nearly as much weight to carry on offense with 3 other guys who can create their own shot. McDermott & Mirotic are both young with a lot of potential though, so it should be interesting to see how Thibs can develop them.

You're serious ? The bulk of the offense won't have to go through Kyrie. And wiggins will be playing next to the best player in the league. AND They're in the eastern conference. Shouldn't take much.

In LeBron's letter he mentions looking forward to playing with Kyrie and fuckin Tristan Thompson and all these guys but never mentions Wiggins. I'm thinking he might already know something about Love. Would've been cool to see Bosh on Houston and Carmelo on Chicago. With Cleveland, San Antonio, and OKC that would've been 5 teams with a legit title chance. Good thing the Lakers 1st round pick they traded to Phoenix is top 5 protected. They're going to need it.

There's a reason Cleveland is only 3/1 to win the finals, previous years Heat were favorites if not small dogs. Spurs would carve this team up even with Love, it takes a long time for a team to perform to their capabilities.

Couple more Transactions.

The Miami Heat are reportedly pursuing Luol Deng with an offer near $10M per season.

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2107588-luol-deng-rumors-latest-buzz-speculation-surrounding-free-agent-star

Trevor Ariza and the Houston Rockets have reportedly agreed to a 4-year, $32M deal.
