Cavs close to salary-dumping Iman Shumpert... Man, this offseason couldn't be going much worse for the Eastern conference. Boston still hasn't cashed in on any of their assets, 2 of the 3 statistically best players in the East dealt West without receiving all-stars in return, and LeBron is looking more and more likely to leave Cleveland after next year.

Lol, his agent used our name to get PAID! Wouldn't be surprised at all if we never actually even called him

Well, Watson will be waived on July 9th if we can't find a team to trade him to by then

Great for JJ to get paid! 1 year 23 million and he'll be able to hit the market again next year when more teams have money. The summer league game today showed me that if nothing else, we're gonna be annoyingly long on defense this year. The length of Isaac and Iwundu = ridiculous. I'd really like to see us sign a point guard to a 1 or 2 year deal with our cap space and put DJ in the role Shabazz played a couple years ago

Livingston's 3/24 deal with the Warriors is only guaranteed for 2 mill in the 3rd year

I agree with you that Hill would help a ton and he's a better ball player than Ingles and Biz, but none of the 3 are superstars or even all-stars. Biz is better than you give him credit for, in my opinion

Meh. Hill, Ingles and Biyombo are all good role players

Tanking has failed because the only year we fully tanked may have been the worst draft class in NBA history

That's supposedly their plan if Iggy leaves. Gay in the Iggy role is not a great fit, but with that much talent, they'll make it work.

I like Ingles as a role player. I hate the move for us because we aren't at that stage. It's the same thing we did with Biyombo last year. These are moves you get excited about if you have a star or two to build around, but overpaying role players without stars makes no damn sense.

Even then, not at 4/60

*sigh... are we ever going to be linked to a sexy free agent acquisition again?

Realistic free agency goals from me are that we bring in a new point guard, re-sign Meeks and sign a back up 4. Wouldn't be upset to see Vucevic traded, would be disappointed if we couldn't find a way to unload DJ

I get home from work around 11:30, so of course I'm in.

K-Mart was an athletic freak, broke his leg nasty and had some ligament damage as well. I believe that was the year before he got drafted.

Kenyon Martin pre-devastating knee injury at Cincinnati?

They won 61 games last year

Seems to be they're looking for all the non-guaranteed deals they can find before the CP deal becomes official

I'll be surprised if CJ Watson isn't dealt to Houston by the end of the day

Lol.. the team that had a 25 point lead in game 1 on the road against Golden state in the west finals before Kawhi got hurt? San Antonio is still amongst the elite in the NBA, why the hell would they rebuild?

Vucevic is very tradable, we just haven't done it yet because we think he's worth more than other teams do

I agree they gaffed it up pretty bad, they went all in on an aging former superstar and it backfired big time. Unfortunately, the mistake they made was made last year when they gave Wade a player option for year 2 instead of just making it a 1 year deal.

Deandre Jordan is one of the more overrated players in the league. He's unplayable in the 4th quarter due to terrible free throw shooting and his only offensive move is the power dunk. Good rebounder and shot blocker, but not much more than that

Wade opted in because he wasn't gonna turn down the 24 million dollars he was gonna get next year. He probably only would've got half that on the market. If the Bulls just straight up released him, they'd owe him all his money this year unless someone claimed him off waivers (which no one would at that price). If they negotiate a buyout with him he's open to sign anywhere but Chicago.

So, the league is quickly moving to 4 or 5 elite teams and 25-26 that have no chance
