    I hope this is true. Always felt he would be back. But I'm sure this hasn't been easy for him.

    But if that happens, that would give Bosh a greater chance of going to Houston.

    Cavs "insider" @Josh_Tep broke this weeks ago. It's been a done deal for a while.

    Won't it be a big letdown when Carmelo re-signs with the Knicks and the big three all re-sign with Miami? The biggest FA to move will end up being Luol Deng.

    Umm, Thornton is on the Nets. CLE is discussing sending Jack to Brookyln but the Nets would have to find a 3rd team to send Thornton to.

    I wonder what the chances are that if LBJ and Bosh leave that Wade decides to move on too. And then the real question would be what are teams including Miami now willing to pay for him if the other 2 are not there?

    When Opening night comes theyll show a picture outside the doors of two "fans" at the door trying to get in... and then say "What? Lebron isn't here! No one told me!" and walk away. The rest are at the beach.

    It is so fucking sad and ridiculous because there would actually literally be a few fans that wouldnt know until then. But apparently that doesnt stop players from go there. And if it was that big of a deal then we would get more high profile FA's so obviously they dont care.

    Good point. Having fans there doesn't matter to them, it seems, to some of them.

    If Portland somehow got LBJ, would Olshey be considered GMOTY?

    Lebron's agent is pushing for Clev to clear salary cap space to offer Lebron the max.

    http://sports.yahoo.com/news/how-le...iers-hope-of-king-s-homecoming-082339828.html


    I figure there has got to be a good chance Lebron goes back to the Cav or the agent is the dumbest agent around. Can you imagine the Cav's make trade(s) to clear cap space to offer Lebron a max and he goes back to Miami. Lebron could never step foot in that city again.

    Also owner who wrote the letter bashing Lebron and had it posted on team website last 4 yrs . . . has just taken it off. :pimp:

    There is a small blurb on rotoworld saying that we are interested in mike miller. I wonder if there is any truth to that, and if so what it might mean. I'd have to think the wright to Lakers sign and trade would make sense if this is true

    Aldridge for Wiggins, Waiters, and Miami's future #1 (top-10 protected in 2015 and 2016).

    Batum for Monroe in a S+T

    +Filler to fill out the above to make the cap work

    PG: Lillard
    SG: Matthews
    SF: Wiggins
    PF: Monroe
    C: Lopez

    Waiters, McCollum, Robinson, Kaman off the bench. Get younger and get our long-term pieces locked in for longer (because you can't tell me LMA being an UFA next year doesn't scare you)
