[denni5themenace]

what kind of contract will lebron get from the cavs? can he get one similar to AD?

 

[senorroboto2k5]

Wellllp, this pretty much sums it up right here from the Kings' perspective.

Lol at the Kings "winning" this deal.

In a vacuum, it's a pretty good deal.

If only the next domino didn't put them back at square one

It'll be even bigger in a few years once the cap goes up.

 

[jpzx]

Once The Cap Goes Up would be a hot track

If they didn't sign Shump I would have believed it. Wade goin back to South Beach

But Wade opted out though..

So did Lebron...

Yea but the difference is whatever money LeBron wants, he will get. Wade, not so much. He was pretty dumb to opt out.

Or maybe Wade is right and they will overpay for an aging 2 with no knees..

Who knows

The Heat still enough flexibility to work out something reasonable for both sides and with the cap rising there won't be as much of a cap hit as there would of if he would've opted in and asked for the max next year.

what were the Kings thinking 

 

[Brownstone]

I would like the deal for the kings, if they weren't clearing cap space for Rajon Rondo 

 

[mr marcus]

Reunited doe

View media item 1609659

I have seen of that picture for years and never realized Brandon Wright was in the picture as well.

 

[glennvagmire]

GM Doc hard at work once again , can't believe the clippers still letting him be in charge of Free agency ....he Probly calling Marquise Daniels right now

Lmao

 

[nelson999]

Kangz are somethin else

what are your thought's on the night's happenings?

Dont really know what to make of it. Not really a fan of throwing money at any of the 3 guys they are rumored to want. I do like Wes but that injury is bad news

 

[mister friendly]

I like Stauskas to the 76ers

 

[dipsetgeneral]

1. Cavs
2-8. everyone else

1.Cavs
2.Hawks
3.Bulls
4.Wizards
5.Raptors
6.Pacers

4. Raptors 

5. Wizards 

6. Pacers 

7. Bucks

8. Heat/Celtics

 

[rolaholic]

Cats still believing in the Hawks...

 

The disrespect is too real though 

 

 

[glennvagmire]

Hawks not a chip contender. Teague isn't gonna improve much anymore. He's nearin the beginning of his prime.

If you're doing a trade with 76ers where you're sending draft picks, there's a 100% chance you're the loser of that trade

So correct me if I'm wrong but we got Stauskas, Jason Thompson and Landry for absolutely nothing basically......?

Stauskas bout to have that green light all year

Sauce + Covington = shooters for Jah to kick the ball out to. Loving this so far. Just need a point.

 

[nelson999]

Sorry to rain on your guys 76ers parade, but Stauskas is terrible.

 

[rck3sactown]

to be fair, he's like a combination of Curry and Klay tho

surprised none of the writers clowning on the Kings mentioned this tbh

Last week national media said the Kings were morons for drafting Stauskas, now they say the Kings are morons for trading "young talent" like Stauskas.  They can play in traffic

 

[nick.]

the media can asterisk themselves

especially Isola

 

[a mufasa]

As long as he can knock down shots and keep defenses honest, I'm fine with giving him the green light. Besides it's not like he was gonna get time on the Kings. Decent trade for both sides.

 

[nelson999]

 

he couldn't last year.  And dude has a weird rotation on his shot. Puts his guide hand into it, gives it like a side spin.

he's also canadian though so thats like -1,000,000 potential 

 

[mister friendly]

He'll get to play against the Knicks more

Overall fg% was trash, but 3 pt% was close to league average and is a good ft shooter. Add in the fact that he was getting better as the season went on. I know it takes time for him to get the jumper off, but I'm not expecting him to be the savior of our backcourt. He will be good with this team.
