It won’t happen and it can’t happen. Pretty sure since they are over the 2nd apron they cannot trade for Giannis. They have to match salaries 1 for 1.

11 minutes of shitting on the Cavs for being soft

if the Cavs are soft and they gave Miami the worst playoff series loss in the history of the franchise, what does that make Herro and his 4 points at home in an elimination game? a shriveled dick choke artist with no pride?

Somehow you made this about the heat lol focus on the topic at hand.

But congrats on beating a 37 win team then having your ass handed to you in the following round as a 1 seed

Wiggy talked mad shit about the Lakers after their elimination....did not get the reaction he thought he would....

The Cavs get manhandled and he is close to Meltdown Defcon 5 level.....LOL.

The issue is they can't aggregate players since they are over the 2nd apron. So they can't send out 2+ players for Giannis. But they'd just have to dip under the 2nd apron to be able to make a Giannis trade, which would require dumping someone to a team with cap space for a draft pick. Something like this. Now I'm not saying I'd do that trade or even if its good for any team, but just pointing out the mechanisms for making it work. They have a pathway to make this work if they want to, it just involves some hurdles

Stats can be bent which ever way you like. Which stats is MJ #1 in? Team stats, like championships?

We are going to have re think player legacies in this stupid second apron world

Denver and now Boston being torn up over the aprons

the Lakers are done. LeBron just keeps getting older and they have no cap room. It looks like from media reports that the Lakers are going to re-sign LeBron to a 2 year 105 million dollar contract which will just push off further any type of real contention from the Lakers. Once LeBron inks that contract it guarantees the Lakers winning nothing for AT LEAST 2 more years.

a big difference between the Cavs.

One team is still on the way up- one is clearly still on the way down.

right. there will be no more long term dynasties. Boston is going to owe like 250 million in tax if they keep the team together. With Tatum out- it wouldnt surprise me if they just tore it all down for this season to get under the tax and reset the clock. Cavs are on a 3-4 year clock now that they are entering the tax for the first time next season.

i think they are going to do that. Reset their tax clock, end up with a lottery pick.

Like how GS went down for one year.

Cavs are not trading Mobley. He is still on the way up. He is 23 and took big strides this year. He is the reigning DPOY, and took some big strides with his outside shooting. Last year he only shot 1.2 3's per game. This year he was at 3.2. If he can get that up to 4.5 or so a game- and remain around the 37% he was at- he can really start to provide some spacing that he just never had a couple years ago.

There are not many guys in the entire NBA I would trade Mobley for straight up. I def. wouldnt trade him for fat Luka.

how do you think they do that?

Would jettisoning Porzingis and Holliday be enough? or would White also need to go? I assume Horford is off the books. Maybe Pritchard instead of White?

Getting rid of Porzingis, Holliday, Horford might get it done?

obv. you keep Tatum and Brown and would like to keep White.

It won't be easy. Because there isn't enough caproom for clean moves it's probably all 3 of Zinger Jrue and Hauser

Rerouting some salary to other teams to lower the returns. But keeping the core return stuff.

Ie Zinger to Det for Bobi, Tek and the TOR 2 they have this year.

Celtics probably send a future 2 to dump Tek.


Hasuser might be the easiest as he is under the MLE so a team could trade draft capital for him and slide him into their MLE.

you are right - the Heat are irrelevant.
