2014 NBA Free Agency and Draft

[gkIrish]

IF they get Love for Waiters/Thompson/picks, who knows.

Irving, Wiggins, James and Love on the same team is kinda just stupid.

If the TWolves trade with the Cavs and don't get Wiggins that would be assisine.

No way the Cavs win the Championship now

 

[tussin]

The Lakers were the most profitable team in the league. I don't think they'll be selling anytime soon.

Maybe they will if someone offers them $2B.

If it comes down to Wiggins or bust to get Love, you definitely trade Wiggins.

Waiters
Bennett
Thompson
2015 1st Round
2016 1st Round

That's nothing to sneeze at, should it even be offered.

 

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

You can't trade future firsts in back-to-back years.

 

[ResLife Hero]

Waiters
Bennett
Thompson
2015 1st Round
2016 1st Round

That's nothing to sneeze at, should it even be offered.

Broussard's "sources" said earlier Waiters wouldn't be an option. If I'm to believe ESPN, the Cavs are trying to get Love for Thompson and some drink vouchers.

Yup thats a trade you gotta make

 

[Buster Bluth]

Yeah oops. I was under the impression that Cleveland had multiple 2015 1st round picks, or did those get dealt?

 

[ResLife Hero]

Not getting as much press, but his decision could change things a ton in the West.

Forgive and forget huh...

 

[Luckylucci]

No offense to Cleveland fans because this is truly an exciting day for you but I do believe that you basically sold your soul for a chance at a championship.

 

[TheTurningPoint]

Forgive and forget huh...

Forgive him for making a great business decision 4 years ago? I was disappointed he left, but why the hell would he say in Cleveland at the point? There not one reason for him to stay business wise.

I actually don't think wade would be a success in Chicago. If dougie buckets starts at the 3; that's the only 3 point threat in the starting lineup. Need shooters on the perimeter these days, and Rose as Ware aren't scaring anybody. Obviously boozer and Noah aren't doing anything either.

Chalk me up as counting it as a bad move unless they get some 3 ballers.

I really don't get the reason for Wade and Bosh to stay in Miami. They'll be good enough to make the playoffs but be completely irrelevant in the big picture.

I can see Wade's reasons, but Bosh is another story.

Money?

 

[ResLife Hero]

Either way, he's apparently about to make it a done deal. I thought for sure he was going to be a Rocket.

I think for Wade it being the only place he's ever played and such makes it a little different for him.

 

[koonja]

Anyone know what Melos hold up is now that lebrons announced?

 

[GBdomer]

Money or championships?

Hopefully he takes the Championships

Boozer is gone. They have Dunleavy on the roster next year, I believe. Can't do much but he can shoot. They are close to signing Nikola Mirotic (draft pick from a few years back) who, according to scouts, is ready to contribute and can stretch the floor with his shooting. If he pans out, Rose stays healthy and buckets can contribute, the offense will be much better.

I don't think it would be a horrible signing if Melo is out of the question, provided it's only a two year deal.
