Nets had a 20 point lead at home but thanks to Graham 40 point night, Charlotte is likely going to win

Highly unlikely. Heat been a different team without their top 2 PGs (Winslow and Dragic). Barely beat Washington, Chicago, and Atlanta at home the last 3 games without those 2.

Unless one of those guys play on Friday, very unlikely that the Heat win that game.

So they just saying on ESPN that the Pelicans were shooting 90% in the 3rd quarter and cut the Bucks lead down from 23 to 20 points :suds:

and the Freak getting a night off

Dwight Howard has made great improvements, but Graham gets the nod because of his youth. Howard had an attitude problem that has damaged his credibility. He still has much to prove

Bolts · Dec 11, 2019

Kings beat the Thunder, Bogdan with the game winning 3. Bagley with 11 and 6 in his return, but was 5-13 from the field.

The Cleveland Cavaliers have said they're officially ready to talk about a Kevin Lovetrade. Surely a lot of teams are going to kick the tires. Love is 31 years old and in the first year of a four-year, $120 million contract, but he remains a top-30ish player who can space the floor, knock down 3-pointers, make plays as a passer, defend competently and rebound at an elite level.

How much the Cavs want for Love, and how much they can realistically get given his age and contract, remains to be seen. Love has said he wants to go to a contender, and that he reportedly prefers the Blazers if a deal does indeed go down. The Cavs don't have to give Love what he wants, but if they do, here are five (potential) contenders, in no particular order, that make sense for a Love deal.

1. Miami Heat
If you haven't been paying attention, the Heat are for real. Entering play on Wednesday, they're 18-6 which is good for the fourth-best record in the NBA. Jimmy Butler is an All-Star lock and a borderline MVP candidate. Bam Adebayo, who is blossoming into a two-way wrecking ball, is probably an All-Star as of now, too.

Trading for Love is precisely the type of move that can push a fringe-elite team like Miami into another level of contention. He fits perfectly into its drive-and-kick system on both the passing and shooting end. He would be a great pick-and-pop guy in late-game situations with Butler, particularly in the playoffs when teams are going to make someone other than Butler beat them.

Miami has the contracts to get a deal done. Goran Dragic is making $19.2 million on an expiring deal, though if the Heat are really going for something this season I doubt they'd want to lose his production off the bench. Meyers Leonard is making $11.3 million on his final year. They also have James Johnson ($15.3 million), Kelly Olynyk ($12.7 million) and Dion Waiters ($12.1 million), but all have two years left on their respective deals.

Jimmy Butler borderline league MVP?

Bam, 2 way wrecking ball and probable All Star?

Still nor sure if Bam>T.T.

Funnily enough, I played around with this on the Trade Machine last night. There's really no way to work it without including Dragic. All the other salaries have too many years left on the contract (2 or more) to where that's not much attraction for Cleveland's end even if you include draft picks (which I'd still insist on in a Dragic deal anyway). Best non-Dragic option I could come up with to make it work was Winslow, who Cleveland might want as a young guy with some value, and Johnson (as salary filler) but I'm not sure the Heat would be willing to part with Winslow. Might be a situation where you need to bring in a 3rd team to make all the pieces work.

Bam is a poor man’s Tristan Thompson.

LOL.

More like a rich man’s Draymond Green.

Very nice player.
