Official Offseason News and Rumors

[TurnUpTheHeat]

What?

Waiters
Bennett
1st round

I don't think they will

Way better offers would be available now.
If they wait until the all star break, they quickly lose leverage.

 

[The Oldtimer]

Love would have resigned, no question. Above ALL, he wants to play in California. He listed GS as a team he'd like to go to earlier. GS offered a VERY good deal......Minny was just getting greedy.

I'm sure that Love would want to play in California, but I'm sure he would also want to play in his home state of Oregon.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Don't the Cavs have the Heat's pick for next year?

...that's the ball buster in this whole thing.....on top of the obvious.

 

[trojanfan12]

Well, if you're gonna be bad you might as well either A.) Get draft picks by S&T or by tanking(in this case they can't tank with Cle. having their draft pick), or B.)clear a bunch of cap space doing it. I couldn't imagine D-Wade in another jersey though

Yeah, that would be really weird.

 

[starbigd]

So Minny expectedly said no to the trade and want Wiggins. Cavs have said they are not going to include him in any deal.

So now they're looking for a third team to get involved. Minny is going to be greedy UNTIL they are forced to move Love. I wouldn't even bother talking to them right now.

 

[trojanfan12]

What?

Waiters
Bennett
1st round

I don't think they will

Bennett isn't looking to be all that and with Lebron, the 1st round pick loses a lot of value as it's likely to be later in the 1st round with both Lebron and Love on the team. They can absolutely do better.

 

[DJ Fieri]

I think Flip keeps him till trade deadline.

 

[trojanfan12]

Not 1, Not 2, Not 3, Not 4, Not 5, Not 6, Not 7......Heat wins next year.

 

[gordontrue]

...that's the ball buster in this whole thing.....on top of the obvious.

The Heat may want to make sure they suck enough to avoid that salt in the wounds, being that is is top 10 protected. They only have till 2017 to stop sucking though, when it becomes unprotected.

 

[DJ Fieri]

The Cavs are trying to r*pe Minny.

 

[Shanemansj13]

I guess they aren't giving up Wiggins

 

[starbigd]

Chicago Bulls are pursuing Wade now as well as Melo.....

 

[Shanemansj13]

I don't think david lee is a very good player...often hurt. barnes and green...waiters better than both of them..2 1st rounders at what pick...26 or lower? lets face it...kevin love is arguably best pf right now. seems to me GS wants to pull off a rip off deal.

Yep, Lee is what 32 and always hurt. Barnes is shit. Thompson is a beast but that's it.

Waiters has a high potential and could average in the 20's next year. You had TT, a double double machine and one or two 1st rounders. Not bad at all.

 

[Shanemansj13]

So Minny expectedly said no to the trade and want Wiggins. Cavs have said they are not going to include him in any deal.

So now they're looking for a third team to get involved. Minny is going to be greedy UNTIL they are forced to move Love. I wouldn't even bother talking to them right now.

Go ahead wait Minny, it will be too late and they won't get shit for him.

 

[trojanfight]

I think Flip keeps him till trade deadline.

id say still pretty good chance he doesn't get traded...flip probably still thinks can convince him to stay. of course that opens door for him to leave to LA in free agency im good with that

If he really wants to be a Laker, then he just needs to tell the Cavs no extension and play out the season.

He totally controls his own destiny.

 

[lakersrule]

You think it's funny that a team, any team, other than yours has the means to build a team for now and the future that will prevent your team from winning?

Lakers fans 4 year and running downhill spiral really has made some of you more of a Heat hater then a Lakers fan, apparently.

Not a Heat hater at all. Just saying it's funny that the pick traded to get Lebron could end up being a very good pick for Cleveland.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

The Heat may want to make sure they suck enough to avoid that salt in the wounds, being that is is top 10 protected. They only have till 2017 to stop sucking though, when it becomes unprotected.

Oh..I stand corrected...
I thought we lost it if it was top 10.

Then Im happy with a full blown tank job next year.

 

[tlance]

If the Cavs can get Kevin Love without dealing Wiggins, then more power to them.

If they fail to acquire Love because they are refusing to deal Wiggins, then they are huge idiots (shocker). I think Wiggins can be very good, but he is a long way off and his game does not even fit LeBron's all that well. Kevin Love as a stretch 4 is the perfect piece to fit this team.
