Re: 2017 Offseason Thread

Not overly surprised to see Wade joining Lebron, had a feeling it would be that or go back to the Heat.

Sounds like Lebron still plans on finishing his career in Cleveland, as he said multiple times when he came back. So all the made up rumors of his plan to leave town once again to go to the Lakers is likely false. Im no Lebron fan, and while it would benefit not only my Pacers but all EC teams, I believe its best for not only the NBA, but Lebron also if he stays a Cav the rest of his career.

I know Wade isnt anywhere near what he use to be, but he does make the Cavs better. He wont get them past the Warriors in the finals, but barring major injuries tot eh Cavs roster, I think this likely gets the Cavs back to the finals.

What makes you say that ? The Cavs are about to get embarassed again in the finals (if they even get there). Not saying he's coming to LA but I'd be surprised if he stayed in Cleveland.

I know he recently said he wasn't going anywhere but what else is he supposed to say at this point ?

Re: 2017 Offseason Thread

Not a big fan of Wade in Cleveland given what the rest of the roster looks like, but it’s easily an upgrade at the SG spot.

No more of these games where you end up with Shump/Smith/Korver combining for like 1/15 shooting and 3 points in a playoff game. At the very least Wade will get himself to the line, get a couple assists, etc. The biggest problem with their roster is you could literally get a combined 8 points out of Shump, Smith, Korver, Thompson, Williams. With them offering nothing else in terms of playmaking or making the defense move. That won’t be the case with Wade and Rose eating some of those minutes.

Definitely doesn’t close the gap with GS, but still an improvement.

Thompson, Rose, Wade. Lebron's gonna enjoy that spacing. Very strange starting line up if that's it.

Cue the "this lineup would be great...if it were 2011" comments(mainly by me).

Nobody should be surprised by what Lebron does anymore.

It's true though. It seems so outdated.

Did you watch media day? Thats why I said that. Granted he isnt going to say yeah this is my last yr in a Cavs uniform,lol, but since heading back to the Cabs, he has said multiple times he dont have the energy to do it again.
Plus its going to make Lebron look bad, if he would jump ship again by many people, along with hurting his legacy, not to mention kind of a liar, because you know if he leaves, it will be played over and over what he said about not leaving again.
Maybe Lebron dont care about his legacy, but I think he does, with the talk after winning the finals, that he was chasing the ghost in Chicago. Jumping shop again, even if it got him 7 NBA titles, very few will put in right there with MJ or over MJ.

Now I wouldnt bet the farm on either Lebron staying or going, as you never know with him.

Im not sure I would say the Warriors will embaras the Cavs this yr in the finals if the Cavs make it, that is if IT is healthy that is, they will if Rose is their starting pg. Granted the Warriors still likely beat them fairly easy, but embaressed I think thats a stretch to say.

If Lebron had reservations about Wade coming to the Cavs, I wonder if he'd be able to tell him.

What would have lied about? Did he say that he would never leave again when he came back or that he promised to bring Cleveland a championship?

I'm just waiting for the trade deadline when Davis/Boogie doesn't work out, NO gets desperate and ships Boogie to Cleveland for Shump, Frye, and the Nets pick. Quote me later.

I’m guessing Danny Ainge would be pretty eager to top this offer. Wouldn’t be that hard.

NBA League pass is only $30 a month. Is it worth it? I want to actually watch games this season.

Depends on your cable company and the method you're shooting for. My cable company sucks and only has one HD channel for league pass games while the rest are in SD. I refuse to watch sporting events in SD now days so that's out of the question for me.

Instead, I get the digital only league pass every year and watch either on my computer or through the NBA app on my PS4 or Xbox. All the games are HD that way, I have access to the games On Demand whenever I want throughout the season, plus you can see stats as you watch if you want. So absolutely worth the money going that route if you want. Pretty sure league pass mobile is included with that now too so you have access on your phone as well.
