    LeBron seems to really like to team up with his fellow Class of 2003 high lottery picks - first Wade and Bosh and now he wants Carmelo. Perhaps CLE should appease him and sign Darko to a vet min deal. Maybe lure Kaman out of retirement.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I think he bought the hype that Cleveland "was close" on Butler or George. Personally, I don't see how they could have possibly landed either, but there were reports that claimed that.

    Unless you're the Superbowl MVP, and then you leave immediately to sign a big contract with the Raiders.

    Toronto has sought to deal Valanciunas since the February trade deadline. They’d had conversations with Detroit and New Orleans then, sources said, and continued to have discussions around Valanciunas at the draft, but talks with the likes of Sacramento, Phoenix, Charlotte, Portland and Atlanta did not get very far.

    ^ Saw this somewhere else. Wonder what was offered.

    Doesn't really make sense to bring him in with Nurk.

    If I'm NOP I'm offering Cousins for Valancuinas, Poeltl, and other young assets. I think they'll miss the playoffs and Cousins will leave, so they should get something for him. Toronto is desperate to get that final piece.

    I don't understand this.
    When JV gets touches and isn't iced out by that backcourt/and or coach he's super effective and efficient.
    It's not a coincidence one of the games Nurk struggled in was against the Raptors. JV is hyper talented, hyper skilled and very underrated.
    Why in the world would the Raptors look to trade their best player, when it's so obvious to outside lookers he's not being used correctly...

    I think that's why Raptors fans don't like Casey

    I'm torn, I think he's great at making adjustments.
    I just think he's too much like Sarge.

    Just read what DeMarre Carroll said about the team upon his exit.

    "I wasn't happy, my agent, we thought the style of ball was going to be different, it was going to be more team-oriented, but I guess it was still ISO, so I thought they would have moved me last year, but that didn't happen."

    The stats back it up to. ISO ball will not take you far in the playoffs.

    If Wade gets bought out, I wonder if we could sell Wade and Melo on teaming up in Portland. Sign Wade for our Tax-Payer MLE. I'd take Wade for that.

    Didn't they sign Calderon on day 1 of FA?
