Antonius Cleveland? How have the Cavs not acquired him yet? Think of those jersey sales.

It's a real party now, Michael Beasley signs with the Lakers

The Summer of Head Cases continues for the Lakers....WTH Magic?

I would love to see Lebron's face when that locker room gets wild.

It's pretty wild. I'd be anxious if Lebron wasn't there but I feel like he's the man that can hold theses guys together and motivated. Could be wrong though.

Going to be a pretty tough team imo. I think that's what's Magic is going for.

Re: 2018 Off-Season Thread

Anybody got a scouting report on guard Antonious Cleveland? Bulls have apparently claimed him off waivers from the Hawks.

Also they signed undrafted Arizona guard Rawle Alkins to a two way contract yesterday. Anybody know anything about him from college? How’d he look with Ayton?

Alkins was good defender till he broke his foot. Athletic. But really could improve in about every area. Could be a 3 and D guy. His defense really fell off last year wasn't fully healthy. Definite role player at best.

ESPN reporting with <s>@</s>WindhorstESPN: Cavaliers forward Kevin Love has signed a four-year, $120 million contract extension --- topping out his overall deal at five-years, $145 million, league sources tell ESPN.

Re: 2018 Off-Season Thread

Not bad, contract ends right around the time he will be getting "old", so they should miss out on overpaying him during his decline. Only scare would be it seems like he's good to miss about 20 games a season now, and even when "healthy" seems to roll into the playoffs not looking 100% because of his time missed.

$30 million per year reward for dealing with all the drama that comes with playing alongside you know who.

Kevin Love deserves every penny.

Re: 2018 Off-Season Thread

Had no idea he was ONLY 30 though. Definitely thought he was at least 32.

He must be suffering from Luol Deng Syndrome.

Re: 2018 Off-Season Thread

Wade offered 3 years/$25 mil to play in China. That's way more than he'll get the rest of his career in the USA but 3 years is a tough ask when I believe his son is in HS or about to enter HS and looks like he may be a legit prospect?

True. Hopefully he can get over the angst of competing in 4 straight finals....

You say that as if all four were nothing but sunshine and rainbows. I get what you’re hinting at, but let’s stop pretending like four consecutive championship runs cancel out everything else and are the end-all, be-all to a person’s overall happiness.

Kevin Love took a lot of heat. Sometimes justified, others not. I’m sure there is some sense of relief to be free of the circus.
