Wade not interested in a pay cut at this pt in his career. Cavs have a $3.4 mil/year slot. He's looking for 6x that.

Jones is the guy from Vandy. He's out right now after having surgery on a torn pectoral muscle. His timetable for return puts him well past training camp and into December. Really hurts his chances of producing this year for the team.

However, he's going to be a good one.

That is way too much to give up for Boston.

Westbrook does not have the same trade value as an elite player normally would because of his expiring contract. Boston would have a good chance to resign him, but no need to gut the roster. They would risk throwing away their entire rebuild.

I say Jaylen Brown + next year's 1st + Isaiah for Russ and Kanter.

It is a buyer's market and Kanter is a redundant piece. I don't see them getting a better offer anywhere else.

I agree it's too much, but it's what I would ask. I'm sure they would settle for a deal much more similar to yours, but I do think Boston's been stockpiling picks just to trade them in a scenario like this.

Saw this as a proposed 3-way trade that works for all parties involved via twitter.

Heat get:
Russ Westbrook
Tristan Thompson

Cavs get:
Wade (S&T)
Enes Kanter

OKC get:
Kevin Love
McBob

Horrible trade for the Thunder imo.

 

[Heatles84]

Horrible trade for the Thunder imo.

Better than letting him walk away for nothing. They're not in a position to get the biggest deal for him considering everyone knows Westbrook's days in OKC are now numbered.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Horrible trade for the Thunder imo.

And Cleveland.

They most likely want draft picks....

 

[DJ Fieri]

And Cleveland.

Yeah.

 

[gordontrue]

Just saw this one...

Kevin Love to Boston

Russell Westbrook, Amir Johnson to Cleveland

Marcus Smart, Jaylen Brown, Shumpert, Cavs 2017 1st round pick to OKC

No thank you. That makes no sense.

Wade is not worth Tristan and Westbrook. Love and Tristan is not worth wade and getting back Enes is not worth. Terrible idea. Must be a Heat fan bc that works out for them.

Umm. The Cavs have Kyrie lol

People are pulling shit outta their ass now.

The Cavs have their 2017 pick still?

 

[shopson67]

What about Wade to the Lakers? Can that be an option? or Boston?

Lakers only have about $16M left in cap space.

Okc gets it the worst out of the deal. Heat win that easily. Cavs get weaker too

 

[shopson67]

I really think the Grizzlies are built well to contend with the Warriors.

Crank up the D... slog the pace... just keep feeding Marc and Zach on the block. Who on the Warriors is going to stop Marc and Zach?

Can they score enough while keeping Tony Allen on the floor?

David West to the Warriors for the vet min

 

[Shanemansj13]

Cousins (14 mil) and Mclemore (3 mil) for Love (20 mil) and Shump (10 mil)

 

[Hambombs]

2nd best player in the league, IMO, and a perfect fit with Golden State.

My 3 best players in the league are. Lebron, steph, KD imo

 

[Shanemansj13]

Lol the Cavs contacted him. The dude wants a ring bad. I think he is bad luck so that's good he went there lol

 

[gordontrue]

damn it

 

[gordontrue]

So the Warriors get West & Pachulia for a combined $4 million.
