Boom!

LeBron James to return to Cavs to defend title in 2016-17

Not surprised. I said it earlier - no way was he going to leave and miss that ring ceremony. Next year I'm waiting to see what happens when Chris Paul becomes a free agent. At that point, will Lebron try to actually form the "Brotherhood" that he made mention of earlier this year?

I don't see him going anywhere, but I thought the same about LeClown...

I can't imagine Wade leaving Miami. He's a one-team guy for his career unless something ridiculous happens (like Lebron wanting to join up again, or the Heat seriously low-balling him or not wanting him back).

Oh and btw....

Bit of a difference between Feb 18th and June 22nd.

 

[The Q]

for boston

instead of wasting assets to get a guy like Butler or Hayward....can they get Batum?

I really dig that fit for them.

Atlanta sending Teague to Indiana. Per Woj twitter.

*part of a 3team deal.

Jeff Teague to Pacers

George Hill to Jazz

AND SO IT BEGINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great pickup for Indiana. Interested to see the full details. Teague will be excellent with Paul George.

 

[DJ Fieri]

A trade is about to go down.....

Atlanta now gets the #12 pick from Utah.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Atlanta to trade Teague to Indy in a 3 team deal with the Jazz. The Jazz get George Hill.

 

[ericd7633]

Atlanta gets Utah's 12th overall pick.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Teague is an upgrade over Hill.

 

[gordontrue]

Teague and Paul George is a nice combo

 

[CitySushi]

If all Utah got from their end was George Hill, they lost out on this deal. I have to believe there was another pick included.

 

[ChrisWebber]

Pacers made a great trade. Teague helps them offensively since they struggle to score outside PG

 

[SFGRTB]

Looking at who's available around 12, not a bad pickup for Utah. Get a guy who can step in and contribute right now. These guys are looking to make a run at the playoffs, so it makes sense to add a veteran PG instead of a rookie.

I was hoping the Kings would send the 8th pick for Teague, so I think this is a GREAT move for the Pacers, and Atlanta could've gotten more.
