      Hart and Kuzman isn’t a bad return considering they already have to wait out a couple bad contracts, what’s one more with Deng. Not sure why the Lakers would want to move Kuzma, although anything that gets rid of Deng is a good move for them. I think in terms of the direction the Lakers are headed they would want to keep Kuzma unless it was a lock that they would be keeping Randle and Ingram.

      I’m assuming the Lakers would only make that trade if it meant Bron and PG or someone were also coming. They definitely wouldn’t make that move to just get Kevin Love lol.

      I don’t really like any of those other options from a Cavs perspective. Wizards trade is pathetic lol. Cavs might consider the Blazers trade. They would have the 8th and 10th to either build with or possibly use to trade up with. That could workout for them depending how the draft goes.

If Nurse is different than Casey then it could pay off. If it's the same thing we've seen the past few years then not so much.
        Reports are that they weren't on the same page/good terms by the end of the year. So this probably isn't a real concern

          I’ve heard the Kyrie-Knicks deal for the last year and a half. What’s his fascination with him wanting to go there?

              It's not really about the gambling. Someone posted on Twitter yesterday a chart of how much Kyrie stands to make if he signs an extension this offseason versus waiting for next year and the extension would cost him roughly $17 million over the first 2 years of a new deal.

              I'm not an expert on the gambling angle by any means, but I know Zach Lowe and Bill Simmons discussed that topic a few weeks back and Bill basically said that he spoke to a bunch of the big players in Vegas and the belief is that the new gambling laws will have virtually no impact on the salary cap.

                IMO Kyrie would be loved in NY more than any other city/team. Stylistically he just he just seems like the quintessential NY superstar to me.

                    You would think the GM's would learn the lesson but you know its going to happen this summer. Some teams will double down and hand out big contracts.

                      financially it just doesn't make any sense for him to do it. play the season out and then sign the max in '19 is what he'll do.

                        LeBron is staying in Cleveland. I don't see him leaving.

                        But everyone in the media who've been talking like his leaving was such a lock that it was an afterthought somehow are still gonna keep giving their opinions, and won't be saying they were ever wrong.

                          There’s the obvious majority of me that wants him to stay. So long as he’s in Cleveland, we’re a contender. We’ll always reach the playoffs and usually get pretty deep in.

                          But there’s this growing part of me that wants him to go some place else. For a couple reasons. The first is that at some point in the near future we’re gonna enter a rebuild, and taking $40m off the payroll would do a lot towards beginning that. The second sort of ties into that, in that, as long as Boston and Philly are coming up, and Golden State retains its core, we can’t be competitive for at least another year while we have some terrible contracts, and by the time we lose the likes of JR and free up big money, LeBron will be 35.

                          I dunno how good of a rebuild we can have though. We have to build through the draft because nobody wants to move to Cleveland as a free agent unless somebody like Bron is here.

                              IMO there will be two or three people who will act like they knew it all along, but if he stays I think that most will own up to being completely wrong about it, because everyone has been too vocal and self-assured about him bouncing to pretend otherwise. Many will still come after him for making what will seem at the time to be a bad basketball decision.

                                I personally can't imagine LBJ staying in CLE. Really feels like his time is done there.
