And who in their right mind would want him and that contract?

Oh, there's some shit GMs out there. Exhibit A: Atlanta. Wants to still stay competitive, yet made the best team in the East better.

Noah makes so much money- he is not even an option for GSW.....GSW does have serious payroll issues forthcoming this offseason.

Yeah...they'd have to send Iggy, Livingston and Zsa Zsa....not worth it.

 

[Heatles84]

Cavs have a lineup of Felder, Shumpert, Korver, Richardson, Frye right now....that is a weird lineup. i dunno bout that.

Not watching the game, but is Lebron even playing?

When Love first went down it looked scary.
Luckily it wasnt serious.

Dude, seriously....Clippers.

Send JJ, Pierce and Crawford....give em Brice and a pick too if it helps.

I love Redick.

But, he's gonna be expensive.

Phil gets a shooter, cap relief with Paul who will retire.

But, Crawford's contract could be a deal breaker.

While Korver at times will help the Cavs, he wasnt very good anymore on the Hawks.
Ive thought about it, and who would have given the Hawks more than the Cavs did?

Dunno. I consider 3/4 of the GMs in the NBA chromosomely challenged.

geezus turner is even kicking the cavs ass tonight.....cavs look annoyed with eachother and crabby and tired.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Melo has a no trade clause, I believe.

Yep, you are correct.

But, he's probably one more humiliating defeat from waiving it.

its a fair point- but at the same time i think it goes to the point that a lot of GM's in the East especially have just been so conservative....Korver could really help the Bulls....Toronto has young assets- Poetl, Cabolco, an extra first round pick- and has not made any moves...Boston hasnt been able to get anything done....these teams seem obsessed with having to "win" every trade they are apart of or they are just gonna take their ball and go home....make a MOVE already!!! try and make this at least a LITTLE interesting and fun.

I totally agree about the having to win part.
I mostly disagree about Korver and the other teams.
The only team where he'll get the pretty much wide open looks is the Cavs when James is on the court.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Even if he waived it, considering what he brings vs what he costs, is he worth the risk?
I thought he pulled a real bitch move by intentionally getting ejected the other night when Rose was AWOL.
He basically said 'fuck it, we're getting our ass kicked, I'm out'.

Portland is more tired. Game finished much later and didn't get to Portland until this afternoon

At least they have the energy from the crowd.
So far, Cavs look like they want to be anywhere but there.
Hopefully it continues.

LMAO at Crowder thinking its ok to put his finger in another man face. Happy Wall slapped his ass

This is why I think Korver makes the Cavs better. He can still hit the 3 and at a good clip. James will get him open looks in that offense.

Joel Embiid is quickly becoming one of my favorite basketball players. Then there's this gem...
