[lebron23james]

hes better than CP3 at this point, and is actually usually healthy while CP3 cant stay healthy and people hate playing with him because hes a dick....him and Butler would actually fit well together. lol.....

They could come out of the west, now that GS has been dismantled...But i like the Clippers

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Would you guys do it if okc include some picks? @Heatles84 @TurnUpTheHeat

Paul and picks for dragic and JJ?

Probably.

Can he be retraded?

 

[WiggyRuss]

I mean you get a really good player who is old, declining and expensive, but you actually get assets to take him, and its not like youd have cap room for 2 out of the 3 years anyway.

that would be my argument for the Heat doing it.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Probably.

you really have very little clue how all this works dont you? lol

 

[bksballer89]

Probably.

Can he be retraded?

He can.

I'm totally against it btw

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

because what other choice do they have? Wait 2 years until Jimmy Butler is 32 and making 40 million a year?

its just a disjointed mess with no clear plan.

Your opinion.
I honestly dont think you watch enough of the Heat to really judge what Heat fans see in Bam and Winslow.

How about we just leave it at that?

 

[Heatles84]

I wouldn't go that far.

Nobody knows what shape Durant will come back in and Irving is a primadonna.

Boston still has good young pieces.

But the Celtics got greedy. That was their problem.

I like you. You're a realist.

Next year class is weak. Putting the huge summer of 2021 at risk would be extremely stupid.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Aging for elite athletes, with modern technology and reduced schedule is quite different then for most.

My position never wavered.

So your now position is the Heat should have depleted all assets to get a player who you know will deteriorate rapidly.

Good Stuff!

well modern technology and the Fountain of Youth and its in the bag Ponce!! LOL, unreal.

the freak of nature LeBron James isnt near the same athlete he was 4 years ago. Russ has already started to decline on the defensive end.

 

[Heatles84]

Eh, not really. Paul makes it significantly difficult (probably impossible without looking at the math) to grab a FA in 2021.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

He can.

I'm totally against it btw

I guess.
I do think CP3 will fall apart.
Money prob can be spent better.

That would be hilarious if they add Chris paul lol

My biggest issue with it is it kills the summer of 2021 for us. This move wouldn't make much sense for that reason alone

 

[Heatles84]

Wiggy's marry go round of logic continues. Bashes the Heat for putting themselves in a position of mediocrity where we had to trade "assets" to acquire a star player, which we could've signed outright had it not been for contracts. Then suggests we take on a well past his prime star player who's contract would eliminate us from having a chance at a 2021 free agent.

Ladies and gentlemen, you can't make this up.

 

[Heatles84]

That would be hilarious if they add Chris paul lol

It would be hilarious if you played in traffic.

 

[Black Adam]

I wouldn't go that far.

agree with the last sentence...

 

[WiggyRuss]

its almost riley's destiny to be honest.

before he retires he needs to leave the team in as bad of shape as he possibly can and mortgage as much as he can for his own selfish motives -desperately trying to have one last moment in the sun. But unfortunately for him its winter in Alaska. lol

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

LeBron is going on what? 50,000 minutes played.

Whats Westbrook at?

Only you want to debate the unknown as fact.

 

[Heatles84]

Boogie was NOT an all-star come on man. And they missed Klay a bit too

Listen, I'm fully aware that GS had injuries, and I'm not bashing them. But GS still had a talented squad, even with Klay missing game 3/4 and the 4th quarter of game 6. And I said technicality on counting Boogie as an all-star.

 

[tlance]

I really want to see Russ to Houston.

Realistic trade is CP3 + 3 or 4 picks and swaps for Russ

Ideal trade for entertainment value would be:

Russ for EG, Capella and Tucker

That would be awesome to watch those 3 try to play together. Knowing Morey, he is just crazy enough to try something like that.

This was my post from Monday

this is when the bullshit post would come in really handy.

This was Wiggy’s reply to me

i was merely talking about the fact that OKC would take on CP3 under any circumstance. They are trying to get off of the money- not take on a contract thats even worse than RW's. The owner was super pissed he had to pay his big tax bill from last year. I am sure when they came to him with PG trade he wasnt shedding a tear.

And his reasoning to @dtgold88

Which was wrong, but at least reasonably worded.

You know @WiggyRuss,

As long as you keep up the vendettas against against individuals and team fans you don’t like, you will continue to be the laughing stock of these boards.

And that is a shame because you actually do have quality input when you are not trolling or talking about 1 of the things you are biased for or against (which is now gotten to be quite a lot).

For the record, I believe I had this right.
