2018 NBA offseason

Pay?

It's not included in your cable/sling/hulu etc subscription?

It's not in the basic cable package....it's usually in the medium or best package they offer.....I have TWC and we have the top tier package so I have it. I know because I pay the TWC bill.

Wiggy is already spinning his take on Mr Whiteside....LMAO.

If the trade happens he’ll change his vote in the Whiteside/Tristan thread within 30 seconds.

Spectrum, you mean. and yeah, we have that too...

the change in his Whiteside narrative by itself would almost be worth it...

Spectrum/TWC...same thing.

I just stripped mine down. I was getting a bunch of movie channels that I never watch. It cost me NBATV and a few others. Still have the Lakers and Dodgers though.

But, I got a firestick that is "jail broken".

I'm still figuring out/learning how to use it. But so far, it looks like I'm not going to be missing much, if anything and might have more.

This.

That would be hilarious, but the Heat doesnt need Tristan or Korver, so unless trade A leads into a secondary move, it makes no sense.
Id 1000x rather watch Bam develope then watch Tristan play 1 minute.

Cleveland Cavaliers: An open (Kevin) Love letter -- Terry Pluto

From Terry Pluto: An Open Love Letter

...WHAT WAS LEARNED

You had to sacrifice shots and add defense. You had to defer to more talented players. There were days when you had to wonder why you ever wanted to play with LeBron James.

But you also have a championship ring and four trips to the NBA Finals. You learned a lot about yourself and what it takes to win at the highest level.

That's the Kevin Love the new Cavaliers need - the older, wiser and yes, even the more scarred version.

You can teach the younger Cavaliers so much...

Most of the pressure you'll feel will come from one place...you. No one expects the Cavaliers to contend for a title. Few even expect to make the playoffs.

Part of the reason the Cavs were so excited to sign you is your influence on the court. You know how to play the game the right way. You know how to pass. You know how to rebound. You know how to find open shots.

Last season, you admitted to dealing with panic attacks and anxiety. Coming public about that not only is what you needed, but it will help others. That includes some younger teammates who will look up to you.

You are not alone when it comes to leadership. The front office brought back Channing Frye, "a fountain" as general manager Koby Altman calls players who nourish others. Korver is a solid veteran, a wonderful man. Same with George Hill.

...You have five years left on your contract, making more money than you ever dared to dream. You have a fan base ready to embrace you, and a team that needs your skills and wisdom.

Enjoy it.

Agree with a fair amount of this. As I've said before, Kevin Love hasn't forgotten how to play basketball. Just like Chris Bosh was always going to be the one who had to sacrifice some of his game to make things work with Lebron and D-Wade...Love was always going to be the one who had to sacrifice some of his game to make things work with Lebron and Kyrie.

As long as he can stay healthy, I expect that he will play well and look more like the guy we saw in Minnesota.

There is some risk/reward involved in the Cavs re-signing him long term though.

The reward if he plays well and stays healthy is that he can bring a nice return in a trade.

The risk, imo, is twofold.

Obviously, if he doesn't stay healthy and/or doesn't play well, the Cavs will be stuck with an albatross contract.

Or, if what some here have suggested happens and Dan Gilbert gets the idea that he can build around him, the Cavs will be stuck in NBA purgatory for the foreseeable future.

This letter gives me absolutely zero reason to believe the Cavs have any desire to trade Love. They signed him to an extension because they want him to be a Cav long term.

By the time they eventually do start thinking about dealing him in 3-4 years, his value will be completely eroded.

Wiggy disagrees....LOL.

 

[Mecca]

I never said Wade was going to sign with Lakers.....said I wanted him to.

#timevindicatesdoesntapply

#spincontrol

You were told there was no chance of that. Yet, you continued to say you wanted him.

It's okay to admit you were wrong.

#TimeVindicates

#WrongAgain

ETA: Never mind. You already admitted that.

Lord, my wife's gonna be all over this...

Lord, my wife's gonna be all over this...

Already have a couple of friends coming over for a viewing party and I think my son has a couple of friends coming too.

My wife has already informed me that she will be visiting her Mom on that day. lol
