There's been a lot of talk about George to the Cavs in Indy.

"And fishing. We went fishing a lot."

[DRiccio21]

see now they're getting it!

thats amazing

1st there was LeBron:

"I don't believe I've played for a super team. I don't believe in that," James said. "I don't believe we're a super team here (in Cleveland)."

Now it's KD's turn:

Superteam? No, we just work extremely well together. Coach puts us in position to maximize our strengths."

C's and 76ers trade picks.

This should be fun draft.

[shel311]

Boston could theoretically get the #1 and #2 picks in next year's draft.

They have the Nets pick, and from this new trade, the Lakers pick if it falls between #2 and #5.

I dont think Lakers are #2 overall bad next yr

Do you think Ball gives them an extra 10 wins?

[nick]

well when LBJ signs there in the offseason they'll be playing for the title

[shel311]

Lebron is under contract with CLE next season.

[nick]

i misread.

LA bound.

[nick]

PG told Indy hes going to Lakers

[shel311]

Weird situation.

That should all but guarantee he'll be traded at some point, but coming out and saying this really gives IND no leverage, it would seem.

[DRiccio21]

everyone pretty much already knew that to be the case. and nobody was trading anything of significance for him without an guarantee he'd be resigning with them. so I don't think it changes much. the interesting thing is whether teams like Cle or Boston would care and would still take him on for a year regardless

[wdoupis]

I really don't see who would trade much for him now, they are kinda screwed. Hopefully helps with Bulls in JB trade talks

how so? how is it any different?

[nick]

Isnt the assumption that Boston is stocking up picks to throw at Chi for Butler?

[shel311]

Cleveland may as well give it a go, go all in for 1 season, then let the cards fall however they may afterwards.

[wdoupis]

I know it was assumed he was an LA lock but I guess he kinda just made it official. I don't think they were getting much for him after the deadline passed last season

I've read this and I damn sure hope so
