andddd INdy is turning on PG quick

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

I've read this and I damn sure hope so

the rumor the last couple days has been Anthony Davis.

I saw AD also but they would have to give this years 3rd pick, next year Brooklyn and LA pick minimum and he is definitely worth it. I just can't imagine NO not giving the Boogie and Brow tandem one full season. You probably should start prepping yourself for his exit though Shel.

[DRiccio21]

I was thinking 2 of those picks then like Crowder and Bradley. i'd absolutely do it if I was New Orleans. I never like giving up the best player in a deal, especially not in the NBA but the Pels need a 76ers style rebuild.

[wdoupis]

If they can get this years 3 then get the Laker pick and if it doesn't come to fruition the Nets pick instead of the Kings with Crowder and Bradley then yes. Crowder on a great deal can easily be dealt if needed. If you can resign Bradley and have two top 5 picks that's a hell of a start. I hope the Bulls do a deal but that kinda has me excited. I've been watching AD since high school and I would love for him to actually matter in the league

No thanks!

The Cavaliers, per league sources, have been working today on assembling multi-team trade scenarios to try to acquire Chicago's Jimmy Butler

apparently Toronto is 3rd on Blake Griffins list before obvious NY and then interesting Phoenix.

[shel311]

Cavs won't offer an extension to their GM David Griffin.

A possible candidate emerging to take over is...Chauncey Billups.

PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!

[wdoupis]

Ahhh, let the fun begin.

Lakers deal Mozgov and D'Angelo to Nets for Lopez and 27th pick.

I think good deal for LA. Get a late first back and shed that awful Mozgov deal while getting a good veteran player to move this thing along.

[shel311]

Wow, they basically gave up on Russell, surprising.

Clearing space for Lebron and Paul George 2018!!!

[wdoupis]

That's my thought, I think Russell will be good but they have big FA plans starting next summer and clearing Mozgov was big.

Charlotte sends Miles Plumlee, Belleneli, 41st pick to ATL for Dwight Howard and the 31st pick

Cavs players telling Jimmy Butler to stay away

I don't care that half, or 99% of the stuff we hear the week after the Finals is all nonsense, I love every minute of it.

[Cnasty]

It's going to be amazing to watch Cavs fans burn Lebron jerseys again when he leaves them

[wdoupis]

Haha, NBA offseason trumps the actual season sometimes. I still want JB gone to Boston but if we somehow got Kyrie (Not happening) I guess that could change my mind about dealing Butler

[shel311]

Dan Gilbert may be the most incompetent owner in sports

[wdoupis]

These guys ego's are so big they just can not accept that they do not know what they are doing and in their own way. I mean James Dolan and Dan Snyder have been running their teams in the ground for decades now and they still do not think it is them. The fact Phil still has a job in NY is a joke
