2014 Off-Season Thread

Re: 2014 Off-Season Thread

NBA offseason is exhausting. Makes me glad Boston has no chance at landing LeBron or Melo. I don't have it in me to deal with the soap opera.

Agreed.

However iIl conceived The Decision was, at least we had a date and time when we knew we were getting some news. This summer I'm afraid to check my phone during my breaks at work.

Re: 2014 Off-Season Thread

The Wolves have some balls to demand Wiggins. Do they realize that they have 7 months to trade Love before theyre left with nothing? Literally everyone else is in the drivers seat except them.

No way do I trade Wiggins if im the Cavs

If you get a guarantee from both Love and LeBron, I'd do that trade in a heartbeat.

Wiggins will take a couple years to fully develop while the addition of Love(with LBJ of course) would instantly make them the favorites for the next 4/5 years.

Re: 2014 Off-Season Thread

I honestly think the supporting cast Cleveland can provide is better than what Miami can provide at the moment, especially when you factor in that Cleveland's guys have a lot of room to grow still.

yeah, but they are not beating those teams in the west. it's almost an insult really. lebron is great but he's not beating the clippers, thunder, sa, etc with that squad. way too young. now maybe lebron on a young team such as the wizards, and that's a long shot.

Re: 2014 Off-Season Thread

LeBron James reached out to two vet free agents last week about joining him, IF he left Miami, sources tell Yahoo. Mike Miller was one.

Cavs gonna end up with all of Miami's run down pieces while Bron goes back to Miami

I would rather trade Waiters, Tristan or Bennett, and every first round pick we have (which is a bunch) before we trade Wiggins.
Seems like more than a fair deal to get a player who will only be on the other team for one more year while not even contending.

I will kind of feel bad for Wade if Bosh and LeBron leave after he opted out.

Re: 2014 Off-Season Thread

Let me get this right...............

The Cavs trade away a 1st rounder to just get rid of Jack? And then say that their Plan B is Parsons and Ariza?

For the sake of the Cleveland fans I hope LeBron goes back because all I see is this being another embarrassing moment in Cleveland sports.

Re: 2014 Off-Season Thread

Why trade a 1st? If Cleveland doesn't get Lebron you know it's gonna be a #1 OVR pick.

The Jack move was steep but at the same time, it's 2016 protected. Cavs had to do their part in trying to get LeBron.

Plus Woj reported that LeBron is giving signals he could leave Miami. I can't blame Cleveland, they haven't done anything that stupid... yet

LOL, I hear you, but the Wolves would laugh at that. If you're not talking Wiggins, they'll look somewhere else.

Well they have three first rounders next year, so its not a huge loss. And Jack was a bad contract. when he was on the court last season literally half of the possessions went Jack brings ball up, big sets screen, Jack uses it, big roll and is open, Jack pulls up anyway, CLANK, run back on defense. Rinse and repeat.

Man nobody is going to be giving big time prospects up for Love, and Minny shouldn't be demanding them. Love doesn't make them a contender, hell he doesn't even make them a playoff team.

IF Bron goes back this year then hey I love the trade but if he didn't then it was stupid IMO lol. Boston won BIG TIME in this trade and Ainge looks like a genius.

Well one thing we know is that when theres big time free agents the smart GMs are able to exploit that. Props to Ainge.
