    Why would you put trade rumors in the thread about the draft?

    There is a chance, but probably not a good one RT @Massimot92Ita: Dwight, do you think the Blazers ends up with a pick in Thursday's draft?

    They don’t have a ton of room RT @BlazersBySagar: @Massimot92Ita I'd expect them to be more active in free agency, wouldn't you think?

    Just thinking that all the trade rumors right now have to do with the draft and picks.

    There is always a chance, Dwight. Pointing out the lack of cap space isn't expert insight, either.

    Not only is it ridiculous and insulting, I think Chicago is just trolling Saunders.

    Denny, defend this absurd offer.

    Now free agency is getting interesting. He better not just be doing this to make room for Melo.

    Re: Official FA Rumors Thread

    the key is to see if Wade and Bosh do the same. If they don't, then this might indicate that Bron is gone

    Re: Official FA Rumors Thread

    I doubt they do. Nobody is going to pay them anything close to what they'll get by opting in.

    LeBron James will opt-out of deal, source confirms. He's determined to impose pressure on Miami to improve roster and spend, sources say.

    Bosh and wade aren't opting out of their deals. They won't have room for Melo

    Wow. Forget Melo . . . this is the biggest opt out of the summer. There must be several teams out there with lots of cap space.

    Let the Lebron sweepstakes begin!

    Prediction: LA or Chicago

    Lebron to Houston sounds fun, meanwhile Portland should try and get PJ Tucker. Anthony Morrow would also be an option as a shooter off the bench. Someone like Hawes would be nice too.

    Re: Official FA Rumors Thread

    Maybe they opt out and restructure so Miami can bring in Melo and then re-sign Lebron. I can see Wade doing it since he is so committed to the Miami franchise and is tight with Lebron.

    Re: Official FA Rumors Thread

    Thank you, Lebron for putting the NBA back in focus. This draft, the first few weeks of free agency, summer league, and then world championships should still keep the bball news flowing for a few months.

    World Cup is fun and all, but I can't follow it for more than this tournament.

    Re: Official FA Rumors Thread

    Yup. If they all opt out and take ~10mil/yr, it could be HUGE for Miami. But if it's just Lebron doing the restructuring, while Bosh/Wade still get their 20mil each, it really does nothing for their flexibility.
