For right now, yes. But Miami's roster is looking to have improved over last year when many didn't think it was possible.

I agree they look better.....but seem at best to be above avg.

Did he even meet with any teams?

The only thing that I've heard so far is that he and his reps had a couple of convo's with Magic yesterday.

Another excerpt from "The Autobiography of Wiggy"

Always riveting. The first six words are correct.

hard to argue with that...

 

[dtgold88]

lol are you saying anything shocking here?

HCA in round 1 should go to Milwaukee, Philly, Boston, & Toronto.


Brooklyn may not get HCA in round 1 actually

East is solid for the most part. Not as good as the West but it is solid

Agreed....and not crazy to consider Miami still as a mediocre team. Butler has played on many mediocre teams.

I don't say this to rip Butler. I like him, and would have gone after him I think. If I'm not winning a title nor tanking, I'd still like to be the best I can be.

I didn't read past the first 6 words. Figured that pretty much was his autobiography.

unfortunately i am a total asshole and have to get all my time in for June today so i have not seen a single thing al lday

like literally- i am a fucking ass clown that has to put in all my billings for the monnth today......I have only billed 1.5 hrs today

the rest has been wracking my brain inputting time. It is the worst day of the month for me.

Like for Shaqdaddy- the first of the month is prob. the best day.... for me it is the worst. I loathe it.

I totally agree

Kanter to Boston

Given their monetary limitations, the C's could have done a lot worse.

I'm ok with it.

That being said: on the defensive end, moving from Horford and Baynes to Enes Kanter is a definite step down.

It would be great if Robert Williams III has a jump to 'respectable bench minutes guy' in his 2nd year. He could be the 5 spot defender that the C's are currently lacking.

Theis is also a decent bench option, too... he is a jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none type... but he lacks size/heft as a 5.

Unfortunately, I don't see Yabusele as an NBA talent.

yah they are mediocre as they come

does the whiteside trade even get them under the hard cap? I mean, i think they save 4 million by going from Shiteside to Harkless and Leonard, but i kinda dont think that is enough.

Maybe it is. I dont know id have to look harder at it and i dont have time right now. My point is...at some point i thought theyd have to shed more than 4 million.

 

[WiggyRuss]

i think the whiteside deal gets you a tiny bit closer but i sitll did not think that it got you where you needed to be salary wise to be below the hard cap and thus eligible for a sign and trade.

they gotta dump some salary somewhere.

can we look forward to some soliloquy on the value of Theiss this year and how great he is? PLEASE.... i need a Baynes redux.

 

[Black Adam]

I totally agree

maybe this could be another opinion poll...

 

[True Lakers Fan]

Screw them...

Well I said that, and laughed, but the fans deserve better and I'd love to see better competion in the Eastern Conference. In this case the owner screwed himself when he wouldnt offer KD a max contract because Irving would have followed him.

Doubt it.

Kyrie appeared set on Brooklyn weeks ago.

Knicks probably fell out of the race when they lost the lottery.

So much for Leonard being Kevin Love-like.
