The city of Cleveland's glorious counter to everything NYC has been doing...

LOL.

Peter Lawson Jones was a little too into it. He looked like he was trying to get a deal off his 5 second part.

Re: The Official &quot;Where is LeBron going?&quot; Thread

Not 100% on this at all...So anybody feel free to correct me who KNOWS for SURE. But this is what I've gathered from people here on OS...


They have money now to sign two Max deals.
They have Eddy Curry's contract, which they can use as trade bait, as people would want his expiring and all the dough that comes with it.
They can sign someone for the MLE.
They can sign someone for the veterans minimum (T-Mac anyone...)

So they would be able to pick up Bron and Bosh. In addition to about 3 or 4 other pieces. To go along with solid players in Douglas, Gallo and Chandler.

I think that's what the thinking is...But, like I said, I'm not 100% on it. So...

Unfortunately, I like the Knicks chances. I want him to stay in Cleveland, but the Knicks have a great situation now.

As for TMagic's post, if the cap comes to 56 million as projected they will have enough to keep 4-5 players and sign a couple max players and have a tiny bit of room to spare.

NY will not have the MLE at all, they will have to renounce it to sign those max players.

Eddy Curry is trade bait, but who will take him?

They still will be able to sign any players at the minimum contract levels, if anyone will accept them.

As for a Lee sign and trade while adding another max player, I'm pretty sure it will work someway like this:
-Renounce enough players and exemptions so that they can sign a max guy (Harrington, Mobley, and some other players will probably do the trick)
-Sign one max guy (say, LBJ)
-Sign Lee to some contract (since they didn't renounce him they should be able to sign him for a contract that will bring them over the cap due to his bird rights if they still have them)
-Trade Lee and whatever else is needed to bring in another max player

That's my best effort at Lee sign and trade possibilities.

I hope he goes to Chicago. New York would be cool too, but Chicago is my favorite team in the East so I'd go with that.


If NJ got the #1 pick and took Wall, the idea of LBJ going there would be verrry interesting. Talk about your all-time turnaround. They would be one of the best teams in the league, IMO.

Re: The Official where is LeBron going thread

You did not just say this? You can't be serious.

Name one true big man since Dream, that can do all the things Pau can. Don't waste your time. You can't.

What can Pau do now that Garnett or Webber could not do in their primes?

Also Hakeem was extremely skilled, did things a guard could do, had post moves, and was also on top of that one of the best defensive players in the league at the time. I don't see how Pau's skillset is close to that.

Given, Pau is a really good player. Still though I would not take Pau over Webber or Garnett in their prime.

Garnett maybe. C-Webb? Thats a joke. Dude was ultra talented, but he was also mentally weak (Timeout!) and shrunk in big spots. Also, those guys didn't have the size/bulk to play center like Gasol does now, except if they went with a small lineup. Gasol can play the 4 or the 5 equally well, depending on the matchup.

LOL at calling out C-Webb being mentally weak and shrinking in big spots in comparison to Pau Gasol. The Celtics still have his punk card. Until he's not playing with his bodyguard Bynum, I'm not buying Pau not being soft still. Which is funny that you mention him playing the 4 or 5 equally well because he got punked playing the 5 during the Celtics championship run.
