i def remembered Allen since that was a big deal and really pissed off KG and Pierce.....Miller got the full MLE if i remember

For Miller/U.D. to get their contracts year 1, all 3 of the Big 3 took less, so they could sign them.

the Knick should take a shot on Rubio.....that deal would actually make a little more sense.

a 3 way trade between the Twolves, Knicks and Cavs- where Melo goes to Cleveland, Shumpert and Frye go to Minne, and Rubio, Muhammed, cap flotsam go to NYK actually makes some sense to me.

You'd be willing to give up Frye's 3 point shooting for a gunner like Melo? I don't see how that would help your Cavs out @ all. And good luck convincing Melo to come off the bench instead of starting.

ehh.... i mean- i could take it either way--- Cavs have some really good chemistry and Frye, Shumpert and Jefferson all play meaningful roles...

if it happens- cool- if not cool- but the Cavs have plenty of 3 pt shooting- still have Korver, JR, Kyrie, Love

korver is shooting over 60% from 3 this month...lol...thats ludicrous. Its almost not fair having a shooter like that play with LeBron.

he will win at least 1 playoff game pretty much on his own this postseason ill guarantee.

You're starting to get it.

@trojanfan12

I'm starting to get it bud, we can be friends again now.

 

[TJL]

I just saw someone on Twitter say that the Knicks should have shipped Porzingas last night for Cousins.

You mentioned it's almost not fair that LeBron has a 3 point shooter like Korver. You know what else isn't fair? LeBron fading hairline. His hairline has overshadowed his greatness on the court now!

if he plays the lighting correctly, i have seen him nod his head at the precise right moment to have light reflect right off his prodigious forehead into his opponents eyes- and then its just a clear lane to the basket.....no way is he giving up that advantage.

[Kold]

I love twitter for the trade deadline. It's not coming from big, reputable sources so take it with a grain of salt...but the Jimmy Butler rumors are starting to mildly heat up

 

[TJL]

there is a LOT of pent up anger in among the Lakers and Heat fanbases and i am a convenient target....its such a shame your guys' teams cannot accept being complete dog shit for half a decade or more while watching the Cleveland Cavaliers win and win and win some more...its cool though...i can take it. + Ill take Umbreon or Espeon over Pikachu ANY DAY.

You know how I know you're gay?


And I don't give a shit that the Heat are rebuilding and the Cavs are good now, once LeBron's gone you'll go straight back to shit.

All Miami needs is to sign a big free agent or pick up some big pieces, and since Miami is a great FA destination and Rat Riles is THE GOAT Gm, it won't be hard.

I think people give you shit because you consistently fabricate the truth hoping people won't remember shit from 5- 6 years ago, kind of how you just asked one of the dumbest questions in the HISTORY, and I mean HISTORY< of dumbest questions, "Who did the Heat ever get to play for them for cheap?"

You bring it on yourself.

*Queue the 5000 word essay referencing how both franchises have taken steps back blah blah blah*

Edit: Notice that we don't treat other Cavs fans like Shane and gordon the same way?

 

[bksballer89]

So @Bolts i just heard vlade said they had a better deal two days ago....why didn't they take it?

I would like to say slowly you're getting it. But you pretty much got it now.

Saw the same thing, I also saw some reports earlier that we had Russell and/or Randle on the table

If I knew the answer to that question, I would tell you. My honest guess is that Vivek didn't like that better offer as much as the offer they ended up taking to get Buddy Hield, who Vivek seems to think can be like Steph Curry. I'd like to know what that other deal was, even if it'd make me sad to know they turned it down.

When you have an owner like that so involved in player moves it usually is a very bad thing.

Its pretty clear to me at least that unless Ranadive completely divests himself of decision making and hires a "team president" type guy that will hire a real GM- things prob wont ever get better.

Hire a Colangelo or a West...an experienced credible President that then hires the management team/GM.....until that happens its prob not gonna get any better.

Kings in a nutshell. Honestly, man if you were to jump ship, no one here would blame you.
