He'll make it all back making bad loans to poor suckers and then foreclosing their homes in Ohio again.....

ouch....

 

[Captain Confusion]

Quicken actually stayed away from the bad loans for the most part that swamped the mortgage industry.

Its why Gilbert has gone from 1.5 to 4 billion the last few years...but- yah- i get the joke, lol

There are actually rumors of Gilbert running book while an undergrad at I believe MSU and using strong arm tactics to collect, lol....

C',on Wiggy...

Whose joking....?

Quicken Loans approved bad mortgages just to make money, government says in suit | cleveland.com

i dunno- i follow a ton of reporters, cavs insiders etc and have seen nothing on Thompson- and actually just read the SAm Amico article saying:



James was always expected to re-sign, but his situation is unique because of the immense influence he now has on the Cavaliers organization. His agent, Rich Paul of Klutch Sports, also represents restricted free agent forward Tristan Thompson. As negotiations had continued between the Cavs and Thompson on a new deal, the widely-held belief was that James would not agree to re-sign until that deal was done.

The Cavs are still expected to come to terms with Thompson, but it's notable that James was willing to commit to a return before that was the case.


ohh- and thats from the USA today....I know you dont trust highly accredited national media publications- but hey take it for whats its worth i guess, lol

Well, I'm not in the room (as I was with Miller) so who knows?
One report says he wouldn't sign until Tristan was dealt with and now this report.
What's LeBron's sudden hurry and change of heart?

My best GUESS is that James knows/was told exactly what Tristan is getting.
Might just be waiting to announce for this very reason.
Guess when the numbers come out we will see.

Offer should be in the 13M range he originally turned down.
If it ends up being the 18M-19M deal, then James pulled another power play.

I'll also bet on option 2 there.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Not true. They said Tristan deal is also done. Just haven't been made official so he was waiting for them to overpay Tristan

I didnt see that.

Wouldn't doubt it for a second, but until it's proven in a court of law he's not guilty.

That whole loan industry can be very shaky.

I have a neighbor in federal prison who basically was convicted of the same type of thing during the house buying boom here in S.Florida maybe 10 years ago.

AWESOME article from Mo Williams just posted on PlayersTribune.....so glad they are bringing this guy back. He was definitely a fan favorite!

I still have to pinch myself this is all real....just a little over a year ago who could have ever imagined this was all possible?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Shanemansj13]

Somewhat surprising that LeBron agreed to return before Tristan Thompson's deal was done. "Separate cases," I'm told- usatoday.com/story/sports/n…

James has agreed to return before Tristan has.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Where do you see that? I am anxious to see what Tristan's final number is. I do not see anywhere any evidence the Tristan deal is done.

Guess we'll see who has better sources, you or BK.
I'm betting big time on BK based on the evidence presented.

Brother... I've learned where there is smoke there is usually a fire....

considering he has posted nothing and I have posted credible sources from none other than USA Today I think its fairly easy to make a clear determination LOL

bk is in the wind

He is a great pickup.

Do you think his signing signals the end of the Crawford talks?

I would like the Clips to get that Haywood contract, or did the time frame to pickup his option pass?

I wonder if the Bulls are interested in dumping Taj Gibson npow that they drafted another big?

James has agreed to return before Tristan has.

Same people last week told us he was waiting.

We will see.

The numbers won't lie.

I agree it can be tricky for buyers

Then what is fair market value, on a RFA with no other offers, IYO if James is staying out of it?

August 1 Haywood becomes guaranteed so there is plenty of time.

Yah- crawford and mo are kinda redundant...

i dunno- we shall see i guess

congrats on DJ coming back! it was real shady but at the end of the day you just added Stephenson and Pierce to a team taht beat the Spurs...gotta be pumped.

Agree, "but fire requires being proved guilty in a court of law"---O.J and Casey Anthony in a combined statement.

I never saw that from USA Today, I saw it from SB Nation this week.
I havent heard anything from the Thompson deal in days.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Source tells ESPN that there is no Tristan Thompson deal imminent w/ CLE just because of the LeBron agreement: "Not a package"
