Paul Pierce just said Portland Trail Blazers dark horse to land LeBron

But after a player opts in, it's not ending. If a player has yet to opt-in, they can't be traded, but they can be traded as a part of them opting in.

 

Hmm. Apparently that can be done:

“Interestingly, there is no mechanism to notify the league that an option or ETO will not be exercised. Teams and players might want to do this in order to make the player tradable after the season ends but before July 1 (see question number 101), or because the player wants to be traded to a team which does not want the player if he might become a free agent. As described in question number 60, under these circumstances the team and player can mutually amend the contract to remove the option or ETO. A contract can be amended like this with the condition that the trade must be completed within 48 hours, otherwise the amendment is canceled.”

The media (All NBA First Team) and the players (Mr Clutch) love him. These are good things when trying to recruit talent like LeBron.

 

Once again, you have no idea what you're talking about...

 

We looked really bad against the Pelicans. No way he watches that series and says "I want to be a part of that!".

 

Lol. Or he watches the series and sees what's wrong and how easily fixable it is.

 

No player on earth could fix that situation. We got owned in every aspect.

 

No.

Nobody would use their #1 pick on a player for the next year.

 

Edit. This was a bad post. I edited it myself

 

If you argue with those that post foolishness, who's really the fool?

 

Is this still a thing?

 

Yeah, the coach is what failed is. Good thing LeBron is a player, and a coach, and a GM.

 

LMAO what's your problem dude? I didn't say anything specific about Lillard.
Don't bark at me for no reason. If you can't debate like a civilized person then don't bother replying to my posts.

 

It's not just the coach... last year it was freaking Javale Mcgee having a lob\dunk fest on our rim at the playoffs, this year it was AD.
It's the coach, the roster and front office philosophy.

We weren't even in the chase after Budenholzer. That's bad man.

 

So, let’s assume that Cleveland is going to go major rebuild mode. Would you do:

CJ, Moe, Leonard, Chief, Collins for

LBJ & Love?

 

Isn't it a lot? I mean, if the deal for Cleveland is: CJ + Moe + Leonard + Chief for Love and LBJ or there is no deal and you lose LBJ for nothing with no taker for Love, what is Cleveland doing?

 

I think it depends on whether Love can return to anything approaching his peak. I think him playing PF next to Nurk would facilitate that.

The trade works cap-wise without Zach, but I think that it takes him being in the deal to beat out other offers they will get. Maybe a couple of firsts rounders does it, but I think they’re going to want two good young players to build around.
