I mean, it's not like those two are doing the heavy lifting.

Again, I really wish CP3 would go there next year.

Even if it isn't him, it's time to upgrade the starting pg position.

George Hill anyone?

Utah should not have let him hit the market.

If the Spurs get a top guy this Summer, stand by to stand by.

The Browns did get a 2nd rounder and 6th rounder plus Os for just a 4th rounder. Win for Houston because it was a salary dump and they now can go after Romo or another QB. Plus, Os will likely not suit up for them as other teams are interested in him.

Down 3 at the half. Another Lebron and Kyrie show. 38 for those 2 at half. 14 for the rest of the team.

Oh you've done it now. Calling Whiteside an elite C. You know wiggy's gonna yell @ you for your bold statement don't you?

Probably in all caps too.

 

[trojanfan12]

What do you consider The Unibrow (27.8 ppg, 11.7 rebs, 2.2 asts, 1.2 stls, 2.3 blks) & Boogie (22.1 ppg, 13.6 rebs, 3.7 asts, 1.4 stls, 1.0 blk)? You know who isn't an elite C? Tristan Thompson (8.1 pts, 9.7 rebs, 1.0 ast, 0.5 stls, 1.1 blks).

Or Marc Gasol, LaMarcus Aldridge, Boogie Cousins...

 

[msgkings322]

Durant/Steph both are injury prone, when you deplete your bench to have both of them on your team you're automatically taking a risk just in the fact you know one of them might go down for a good stint.

You're right. Shoulda kept a couple more bench guys instead of bringing in KD.

 

[trojanfan12]

I don't think the Heat can beat the Cavs in a playoff series. But I really, really want to see it happen. Not because I particularly like the Heat (although they are fun to watch), but because the shitstorm that Heat fans are going to bring is likely to cause a Wiggy meltdown of epic proportions.

It's a slippery slope.

I don't think we would be having this conversation had Durant stayed healthy.

But, he didn't.

It's kinda like the Cavs dumping Wiggins for Love, Lakers dumping Marc for Pau.

Long-term, it might look different.

But, It's totally worth it if it results in a Chip.

Now, if the Warriors don't win......?

 

[trojanfan12]

SHUT UP GORDON. No one wants to hear your valid comments here.

Yeah, what the fucks up with that guy? Bein' all reasonable and shit?

If they don't win AND don't re-sign If it's a whiff. If he stays it's great. leBron needed 2 years to win at both Miami and Cleveland

True.

But, this is a little different than Bron to Cleveland because the Cavs didn't win a Chip, then go for 73 wins the two Seasons prior.

But, I concede that both were Championship or bust rosters.

Ps. Unless the Warriors turn stupid, which I doubt, and try to low ball Durant or Curry, there is zero chance he leaves.

Agreed. But this year could be their best shot, because after paying those guys they will lose more depth like Livingston and probably Iguodala

Long term.....the Cavs should have kept Wiggins. Can you imagine a Irving-Wiggins duo once James retired? Un-fucking-real.
