Melo back to Knicks.

Pau will most likely play for the Bulls.

the Lakers F.O. is so terrible nowadays. Kobe is more than fucked. next season is going to be brutal to watch.

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 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?

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.

Bubblegum Tate · « **Reply #1967 on:** July 12, 2014, 11:52:04 PM »

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.

Kyrie's hero-ball tendencies will be kept in check now that he's no longer the only all-star on his team and that will go a long way towards getting the Cav's offense running more smoothly. Everything I've been reading suggests the Cavs don't want to trade Wiggins but the only other way they're getting Love is through some kind of miraculous sign and trade.

I have no idea where Love's landing spot is going to be but surely Minnesota wouldn't risk letting him go for nothing in free agency just for another season of fighting for the 8th seed...would they?

bentmode · « **Reply #1970 on:** July 14, 2014, 04:25:30 AM »

Don't underestimate the lunacy of the timberwolves. They passed on Stephan curry and were banking on Brandon Roy to miraculously have knees again for example.

Already got my eye on some Fantasy sleepers

Lance's numbers will go up significantly now that he has a bigger offensive role will it translate into wins who knows?

Olidipo, with Nelson gone he's going to get alot more touches he was already bench worthy in deep leauges last season his number will go up big time this season

Danny Granger, with the huge void to fill with the departure of Lebron and Wade likely playing half a season DG will be chucking those threes

Steven Adams, I have a feeling come October he'll be OKC's new starting C we've seen what he can do in limited minutes, playing starters minutes he'll be racking up a ton of boards and blocks.

Just to name a few, I wouldn't pick these players super high (maybe Lance) but some guys that I have on my radar for sleeper picks

Tracer · « **Reply #1977 on:** July 23, 2014, 11:20:20 PM »

Sterling is giving the NBA a major black eye by holding out. It's an 80% black league and guy made racist rants on air... Give it up man Donalds legacy is tainted enough. I hope Doc quits and coaches Phoenix or New Orleans, teams with a bright future.

youre tripping dude. big al is still the cornerstone of the hornets offense. olidipo isnt a true pg and is forced to play with the ball in his hands which hinders more than helps. danny granger. lol. you seem to have forgotten that miami signed loul deng. scotty brooks hates starting his best five players and steven adams has to learn how to play without fouling. keep digging.
