apparently Kupchak is going to try to pitch the Lakers to LeBron/LeBron's agent.
what's his pitch gonna be? "You get to play second banana to Kobe, because Kobe refuses to play Robin for anyone. But hey, LA!" |

Crazy, as much as I dislike the Heat, 4 finals appearances in 4 years seems like a pretty good success, as well as going 2 for 4 in the series.
Now it looks like LeBron may actually leave, and Bosh getting that max offer from the Rockets means he'll likely be gone. |

Heat sign both Josh McRoberts (4 years, $23 million) and Danny Granger (2 years, $4.2 million). Both were signed to help entice Lebron to stay.
Mavs and Lakers currently interested in Lance Stephenson but neither have him as their top priority. Pacers were willing to offer a 5 year, $44 million deal for him. |

New big 3!
Is it just me or has every free agent this season been asking ridiculously high amounts per year for their services? |

Please do it Lebron. I wanna see all these bandwagon Heat fans throw themselves underneath the moving Heat bandwagon as it leaves for Cleveland.

So let's say these moves happen
Lebron goes to Cleveland and Bosh to the Rockets? What happens to DWade? I guess with the Heat but at a really reduced amount. He would have lost himself a ridiculous amount of money this summer for nothing. I would be pissed if I'm Wade and these moves happens. Or do you think he would follow Lebron or Bosh at again a reduced rate? |

That or Wade got Carmelo on speed dial and he does whatever begging he can to get him to come to Miami.

He had a chance before the Big 3 arrived to leave for Chicago but doubt they'd be interested in him now. |

Some NBA news:
Cs-Cavs-Nets trade ended up creating more cap space for the Cavs to go after Lebron while also going after either Ray Allen, Mike Miller, and/or both. Quote:
Meanwhile Melo is waiting until after Lebron gets his new deal and/or team to have his own new deal done. Rumored to want to see if it will still be possible to play together on the same team for next season. |

The Sixers have an really long athletic Summer league team.
They have this Jakar Sampson who played for St. John's in college. He does not have NBA game however he definitely is an NBA athlete. He needs to change his game up, and become a poor man Dennis Rodman. He just needs to focus on defense and rebounding, and he can make a team. |

already annoyed at this whole LeBron & Carmelo situation.
Particularly with the fact that the Lakers should say fuck it (like they should have at the beginning) and start working on using that money towards solid players. |

I'll bet anyone that he doesn't win a championship in Cleveland and leaves after 3 years (or whenever he can opt out again)
No one wins in Cleveland. |

Not that surprising he's going back to Cleveland. Cleveland's really the easier route than Miami. Instead of dealing with Wade's decline he plays with Irving, Wiggins and all the young guys they have. The Cavs will try and trade for Love and all the championship chasing vets will follow him there.

So Krimzon7 is back to being a lifelong Cavs fan, then? Along with those who burned their Lebron jerseys, I guess.
Think Wade hangs it up? He's had knee problems for a bit now and has been on a decline. Not even sure how old he is. |

Bosh is staying in Miami 5 year 118 million contract.
Basketball decision wise I think that's a bad move, but I would rather have 118 million then 88 million or whatever Houston's contract was worth. |

Cs big plan to get Kevin Love likely just fell apart and mostly because they helped the Cavs a bit too much with the recent trade.
Timberwolves hinted they want a Wiggins-like player for any trade while Love himself hinted he wants to play for Cleveland once he becomes a free agent next year. |

LeBron James announcing he's leaving Cleveland:
LeBron James re-signs with the Cavs: And I can make that joke. As a long-suffering Cavs fan from the days of Price, Brad, and Hot Rod, I was a fan before him, and a fan without him. I didn't get all butthurt he left, though, because he not only had a point- he proved it by going somewhere willing to put a team around him and win championships and/or consistently make the finals. My exitement of his return is dampened by all these fair-weather dick riders coming back out of the woodwork. The jersey burning, "good riddance" folks who are now suddenly like "OH WE ALWAYS LOVED LEBRON!!!". |

Glad Carmelo's back. With a couple smaller moves and a coach that isn't Mike Woodson I think the Knicks could be decent next year. And in the East decent gets you a good playoff seed.
