THE 2015 NBA PRE SEASON THREAD: BEST WISHES TO LAMAR ODOM

[finallyfamous]

Cavs feel that if they 100% they can't be beat... and maybe they are right... but they gotta remain healthy to do it.

Honestly I would've loved to see them work a S+T with Kevin Love for any number of targets available but if they wanna pay him and Tristan 200Ms then whatev.

Cavs trading Love? why would they do that?

 

[finallyfamous]

Love gonna be just like LAL Gasol..

Every year stupid *** trade rumors .... gonna be hella annoying.

 

[youngwolf]

So lebron is waiting for the cavs to pay TT before he signs right? Does he know the definition of self-sabotage?


He will look back in 5 years after not winning any chips in Cleveland and realize how he screwed himself. Then he'll buy the team and continue screwing them for 40 more years.


RIP Cleveland

I was told by CLE fans that signing Love and TT to big contracts was totally fine and that it would work out no problem

Overpaying these guys also makes trading them extremely difficult. LeBron hijacked this franchise. It's going to be even funnier when they don't end up winning a title.

Especially once Bron signs next year... they saying 6 year 200M

The problem with that is lebron will probably be broken down in year 4 of that contract especially if the cavs make it to the finals all these upcoming years.

Deep playoff run after deep playoff run is gonna take a toll

By this time he'll be on Tim Duncan minutes and getting his Boris Diaw on.

He won't be broke down, just slowed down.

He's got adamantium in his bones G

Could be right. Although Howard was injured and missed many games. Jones and Papnikalu missed like more than half the season

Brewer gets a full season and training camp

They add Harrell and Dekker which isn't too shabby

Just some things to consider

I agree that health was a big factor in last season, but even with a healthy Dwight, the rockets' offense seems to be a one trick pony similar to what cavs looked like in the finals: let one player shoot or assist on 90% of all made baskets. that can be successful in the regular season but come playoffs, it runs out of gas rather quickly. had it not been for jsmoove shooting the rockets back into that clippers series in just one quarter, the narrative on the rockets changes significantly

I just finished another season on Mycareer in 2k and Kobe just retired after his 25th season, still on the Lakers too   

Hopefully that does not happen in real life too

How is that even possible?

He would be 43. 2k trippin

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

If you can't retain MosGod and find a suitable replacement.. yikes

I'd rather have MosGod more than 2 PFs

 

[finallyfamous]

they can't lose MosGod .... because Varejao they only other C and they can't trust him at all..

 

[moe200069]

is lbj just using the stalled TT/Cavs negotiation as a reason to leave cle again? "they didn't sign my boy, so **** them" excuse??

ding ding ding ding ding

And they are smart to feel this way, I feel them.

Scared money don't make money. 

No moves will never be Power moves.

 

[Quincy McCall]

I think Brons gonna take a pay cut

 

[finallyfamous]

TT is RFA so they honestly should just say **** him and let another team have him sign an offer sheet then we just match it.

Bron leaving again would be the funniest thing of all time. of all time... I would die from laughter if he did it..I'm serious

 

[wavycrocket]

SrS is AD the best NBA player?

No. Bron and KD are

We've really forgot just how nice KD is..

 

[finallyfamous]

I think Brons gonna take a pay cut

Idk man he's never got "that contract"

Think he cashes in big next summer.

 

[sea manup]

Looks like it's shaping up to be another year of overhyping bron because of weak eastern opponents then getting washed in the finals

Yea, and dumb money doesn't make money either. And the cavs are full of dumb money.

agreed. the only cal ripken of basketball is ac green.

Lakers fans need something to root for.

This another tank year for L.A.?

 

[comptonprince]

agreed. the only cal ripken of basketball is ac green.

 

[finallyfamous]

Honestly the Cavs should say **** TT and have him sign the qualifying offer and he can be an UFA next summer along with Mosgov and we can go from there.

 

[a-friend]

Yea, and dumb money doesn't make money either. And the cavs are full of dumb money.

If they win a chip,Nothing will matter after that.

You can call it dumb, fair argument.

I call it do whatever it takes to Win. Cleveland will never EVER have a chance to win a Chip again, EVER, after Lebron is gone. DOn't piss this away twice

@ rondo, Rudy, and josh smith on the same team
