OJ Mayo was eligible for reinstatement this season.....playing for the Dacin Tigers currently.











His 1.8 million house is in foreclosure.

I remember

I couldnt even imagine trying to say that....oh yah...im a Cleveland fan- but I root for the Celtics over the Cavs

reminds me of an all time great movie scene:

--"I am a Cleveland fan- but i root for the Celtics instead of the Cavs"
Response:--"Nah- no- Hell no- I believe you'd get your ass kicked for sayin something like that"

Probably because the Cavs have been dogshit other than LeBron and a sprinkle of Mark Price and Brad/Larry

Raptors joining the lightyears ahead movement by signing McCaw. Future All-star replacement for Kawhi if he leaves this off-season. Genius move.

Their FO is really good....

 

[CitySushi]

who knows what else the Raptors have cooking

This. Maybe a move for Bradley Beal is in the works. Might have to give away some of that depth.

It was a joke in regards to Wiggy telling somebody they can't be a real Cavs fan.....Wamu. Earlier today in the thread.

Maybe he just didn't like playing with the Warriors

Yeah that Steph Curry guy seems like a selfish prick.

It could be other things. Last i checked there are more guys on the roster than steph curry.....

Also this doesnt have to be a issue of not liking a player. There are plenty of other reasons to not like playing on a team

Yeah, I know, I was obviously joking.

But on a real note I think one major contention point was that he got really inconsistent playing time. I think what he was looking for was a situation that would allow him to keep playing, keep learning on the job. Unfortunately that's not generally the case with a team that has Championship aspirations. It's not really a luxury they have. Which is weird because the Warriors were intending to go to a youth movement this year and give guys plenty of rope to go out and learn. Damian Jones was giving the starting role off of playing the majority of his year last year in the G-League. The Warriors got Jerebko, but they didn't replace David West, Zaza or Javale. They went with their young bigs. You didn't see them go after any veteran wings when they were out there like Jamal Crawford.

They wanted McCaw to come in and carve out his role this year with the team. Which would have worked out perfectly for him IMO. Next year Livingston is likely gone. The year after that so is Andre. A 2 year deal would have put him in a prime position to not only get his role with the team larger, but also if he played well enough for a solid next contract.

Like the entire logistics of this situation would have worked out PERFECTLY for McCaw if he was confident on his ability to improve and produce. It's just really weird.

 

[DJ]

I'm going to be honest.....I thought Harden would be really good as a starter in this League but never expected him to be this good.

 

[DJ]

Imagine if OKC could have kept RW, KD and Harden all happy?









Goodness.....

@bksballer89 what's going on with Wayne Ellington. He was a guy I was interested in the Warriors getting this past off-season. Seems like he's been in and out of the rotation. Or has it been injuries?

 

[Black Adam]

Is that why certain Cavs fans hate him so much...?

No injuries. Just too many players who play the same position and he is unfortunately the odd man out. Sucks but this is what happens when instead of having only 9 or 10 rotation players, you have 12 or 13.

Every single player on the Heat roster outside of UD is good enough to consistently be in the rotation

 

[bksballer89]

Not smart

 

[CitySushi]

Not smart

Worst move I can really think of TBH.

He's a guy I think that would do really well in the Warriors system. Another catch and shoot guy off the bench is what we need right now. Don't have that outside of Jerebko.

I'll be shocked if he is on the Heat roster after deadline. Expiring contract and not getting any playing time. Hoping OKC trade for him. They need a legit 3 pt specialist so freaking badly
