Don't worry I was trolling with that remark

Believe me I wouldn't recommend taking a vacation to Cleveland unless you're trying to catch a game or need to be there, but damn man it's talked about like it's a 3rd world country on here.

Look at Koufos

I never realized that was Koufos.

Kyrie plays like Steve Nash at Santa Clara, needs to play like Nash in Pheonix.

Took it back with that one

It's had that reputation on here for so long for no reason at all. Don't even remember how folks started ripping and piling on Cleveland.

STAT finding his groove. Who wants him

Pretty much any place that isn't a destination type of place gets treated like that

We all knew this but... IN YOUR FACE DAN GILBERT

Report: There is little to no chance Luol Deng re-signs in Cleveland

We already told you there were reports Luol Deng was dismayed at what he saw in Cleveland — as he should be. Of course, he came out and publicly denied this but what players say to the media when the mics are on and what they tell their friends are as different as what happened at your bachelor party and what you told your future wife had happened.

Now comes another report that Deng has surveyed the Cleveland situation seen a tire fire the size of the one in “The Simpsons” and decided will bolt this summer. This one is from the largely reliable Marc Stein of ESPN.

And the general toxicity in the air around this team — where rumblings of player discontent with Mike Brown are getting louder by the day — makes you wonder if they have any hope of re-signing newly acquired (and shell-shocked) Luol Deng in free agency.

That’s right: What was supposed to be a season exciting enough to make LeBron James think seriously about leaving Miami to come back to the Cavs has descended into such farce that sources close to the situation are already saying that there’s little-to-no chance Deng will agree to stay once he hits free agency.

This was always the risk when Cleveland made the Deng trade, but then GM Chris Grant new owner Dan Gilbert wanted to make the playoffs and with his team floundering he made a move that was both bold and desperate.

Deng will have options this summer. Whether he has options at the money he expects to make remains to be seen (remember he reportedly rejected three years, $30 million from the Bulls) but he will have options.

And guys who have options don’t have to stay in situations where they are not happy.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Deng needs to come to the Knicks on the cheap. Let Dolan give him some cash under the table. We don't use our draft picks anyway.

Are you mad at Gilbert because he wouldn't take Gasol?

I just don't like Gilbert. Think he's a terrible owner.

Any time it blows up in his face, is wellllll worth it in my opinion.

I can't wait to take half a billy from him after I submit my perfect bracket

Use that money to buy the Cavs and dissolve them afterwards.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Anthony Bennett....

 

[finallyfamous]

He's trying man.

 

[the 7th mile]

The Pacers are not good to me, they definitely not winning no titles no time soon

 

[osh kosh bosh]

He's trying man.

I'm just suggested he might just be better than Kwame Brown...

 

[dontsteponmyshoes]

Kwame gets a bad rap, he was a solid defender...Olowokandi is by far the biggest bust

Elgin Baylor picks don't count, there was no reason Olawakandi should have been the #1 pick, it made no sense even at the time.


Really Michael Jordan let an irrational fear of Euros let him pass on Pau.

 

[herbshuttles15]

Nice shot by Lillard

 

[firstclass]

Barnes > Waiters tho

 

[sohoguy]

Pacers flopping left and right

 

[Hahahaha]

Great defense and they play Miami will. I don't like their offense though. Very inconsistent.

Uhhh what happened to paul george lately? Playing trash
