Series Thread: NBA Finals. Cleveland vs. Golden State...

[Mecca]

Lebron likes David Griffin. Then he potentially becomes the guy in Philly, where Lebron could potentially end up?

I keep saying it, folks...

Unless some Team in the West can put 3 Superstars together on one team, I don't see him coming West.

You think he wants to get DESTROYED like this in the 2nd round or the WCF every year?

I think Philly would need to keep Redick and get another shooter.

But, outside of the Celtics, I don't see a better option.

 

[Wamu]

Sorry Wamu, its a done deal. Thats who we wil go through

Yeah I know. I'm just hoping for a miracle that it doesn't happen.

 

[Mecca]

nothing's set in stone, but i'm getting that vibe too...

@Shaqdaddy11 has been saying this for a minute too.

 

[LogicMan]

sign and trade will be the deal. i think it will be fultz, maybe a first rounder and a piece

 

[trojanfan12]

if i own the 76'ers i have Griffen on speed dial

even if LeBron doesnt go there he would be perfect to fit all their assets into a team that could do great things.

Was thinking the same. I'd wager he'd be at or near the top of any teams list that was looking for a GM. Lebron liking him is just a bonus.

Shit you mentioned stone & my mind wondered. Is it 3:30 yet so I can go home & get impaired? Well fuckity-fuck-fuck-fuck it's not!

 

[LogicMan]

Yeah I know. I'm just hoping for a miracle that it doesn't happen.

I also think Kyrie is in play.....................for Kawhi.....

Seriously though....

He'd have almost everything he needed if he went to the Celtics.

It won't happen for several reasons.

But, he'd fit in perfect with Horford, Tatum, Hayward Kyrie....

That last Dude listed being the biggest obstacle.....lol

Brown, Rozier and Morris off the bench?

They could give the Dubs a good fight.

They'd lose in 6.

But, it would be a challenge.

East could get interesting in a hurry...

gonna be an interesting offseason...

I would have no problem w/ that. Kawhi is currently my favorite NBAer. Been following his career since SDSU.

 

[Mecca]

Kawhi and Pop gonna be meeting in a few days/weeks.

So, we will know shortly if this is indeed a possibility.

Oh BULLSHIT! A healthy Celtics team could easily beat duh Dubs in 3. And Brad Stevens would kick Steve Kerr's ass in a fight.

If the Lakers greatly improve it will ruin the entire summer.

For LeBron?

They don't necessarily have to trade anyone to the Cavs.

They can open up the salary slot.

But, if they did, Covington, Fultz pick could do it?

to give him max dont they need to?

 

[Raw_Bee808]

 

[Across The Field]

I mean you were wrong. But sure.

No I wasn't. They didn't win because of him. It's nice that they were better with him on the floor, but without a ridiculous night from KD you lose by double digits. It just is what it is.

 

[Mecca]

to give him max dont they need to?

It would help to keep Redick.

But, no....

If they found a home for Saric and Fultz, I think they'll have enough.

If I'm not mistaken, without JJ, they have like 25-30 mil in cap space.....

So, a couple of tweaks and they could sign him outright.

 

[Mecca]

@LogicMan .....

According to Spotrac, the 76ers have about $31.1 million in practical cap space in 2018-19. With some minor tinkering, they could easily create a few more million dollars in room, giving them the leeway needed to sign a max contract player. Even then, they could alternatively use that $31.1 million to sign a couple of outstanding starters.

That team beats the Warriors, IMO. Tough athletic wings, who can all defend multiple positions. But the biggest thing is every one of them is a threat to score the ball. The Warriors are limited a bit by Iguodala and Draymond out there. Celtics would be a much more dynamic team if they kept all the guys you listed. I'm pretty sure the only way the Celtics clear room though is to move Hayward. They don't have the cap space and it would almost certainly need to be a sign and trade deal.

But if Lebron says he's walking or they could trade him to the Celtics, Celtics could give them back Hayward and the Sacramento 2019 pick. That would be amazing to help reset their organization.
