We got Kd! Boooom

Wade left the only franchise he's ever played for over money.

Kevin Durant left the only franchise he ever played for because he wants to win.

Funny how different some of the responses are here on these topics.

I'm bringing a pitchfork to Sacramento and looking for Vlade if he trades Cousins for that shit offer.

I don't see JR coming back. If he doesn't come back Cavs are actually weaker. Any news on JR.

He will. Lebron will make Gilbert pay luxury tax somehow. They can go over the cap with JR

Jr just signed with LeBron's agency Klutch- and he turned himself into a pretty good 2 way player....broke the Cavs single season record for 3's....and was one of 4 guys to shoot 40% from 3 and make over 200 threes....the others were Klay Thompson, Steph Curry and JJ Redick.

Come watch your Whiteside led Miami Heat, be the first two thousand in attendance and receive an angry Pat Riley bobblehead.

I was seriously starting to wonder if it was just me...lol

Must be something in the water in Texas. starbigd started a thread about how the Lakers should "trade the farm for Westbrook" a guy they can get next summer and keep their young core together.

It was money and playing for his hometown team, KD is just ring chasing.

Yup ... Cavs would have another move or two before Ws would have to respond.

Although it would be interesting to watch (Cousins to Cavs) -- I think Cavs are better sticking with Love + others. KLove may actually play better next year after 1 championship -- and now the pressure if off next year -- they aren't expected to win it.

I think the Cavs beating Ws would be first about their ability to defend -- and Shumpert would be a key piece of that. (not that I think Cavs have a great shot -- but if they did -- it would be able Defense on the perimeter)

No.

It was money.

The hometown only came into play because it was better than going to Milwaukee.

 

[Demonjoe93]

So now Chicago has three starting level guards? Who are they going to bench?

 

[purguy12]

And that logic is stupid. As turnup said one guy is in his prime while the other is in father prime. No way in hell was Miami trading Dragic to give Wade the money he wants for 1 or 2 more years. That was never happening

I think we are saying what Wade might of been feeling. U can't blame the guy for not feeling apperciated after all he did. He was never the highest paid player on the Heat. NEVER. Im not saying it was a bad move by the Heat. Im even saying I wanted the Bulls to rebuild. At least these pleases me because I was crazy pissed after just signing Rondo. Because it made no sense. Now we a decent big(ok not big like the others) 3 and a solid core I can enjoy this season. Then throw in we can land a max player next year.

money and respect and to go home. don't forget those other 2. Big difference.

Of course he's coming back, and for Klutch money.
I haven't even seen his named mentioned anywhere else.

a full year in Lue's system and all the pressure and scrutiny off Love's shoulders should work wonders you would think....along with more time on the court with Bron and Ki...

I think bucks have the better future IMO

 

[Mecca]

really? do you know the terms?

they prob had to use their mid level right?

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

money and respect and to go home. don't forget those other 2. Big difference.

He's going home 6 years to late IMO.
If he cared that much about home, both he and James could have been Bulls instead of Heat.

hey - you didnt want to deal with LeBron...this is where it gets you....im glad that Gilbert has the sense to swallow his ego and open his checkbook....other teams could learn from it.

 

[ChrisGar15]

Cavs just need 1 year from each of those guys.
