Westbrook doesn't make sense on a team with ballhandlers like Irving and James.

cmon let a man dream.....i agree i dont even know if it would owkr...it would just be fun.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

no one looks like a bigger fool than you after the last few weeks that is for sure.

No, it's really you...

Lakers have about $9.5M left. $14M if they clear all cap holds, but one of those is for Ingram ($4.4M).

Spotrac now has 2017 cap at $102M, down from the $107-108 projections. Lakers would have about $19m (including Ingram) without cap holds.

I believe they can get to more space with Black/Brown non-guaranteed contracts and stretching Young. The lowered cap expectation likely eliminates them from a 10+ year player max though.

Trading for Cousins (not that he's necessarily available) makes more sense to me.

So you can predict into the future bc that is RIGHT NOW.

Try harder troll.

No
I'll try to d

no one looks like a bigger fool than you after the last few weeks that is for sure.

and just because i know, you know, everyone knows- that Wade has declined and that LeBron left to go play with Kyrie Irving because he is much much better----- that certainly does not mean that Dwade is not worth 20 whatever million a year when evan turner, fournier, bazemore, ryan anderson etc. etc. are getting deals that are in that neighborhood. AT LEAST 4 teams offered Wade AT LEAST 20M a year on their last offers.

your actual argument is that because I have said Dwade is getting worse- that it automatically means he is dog shit?

dude....you are really pushing this from a realm of bitterness to something else that is way more out there and kinda messed up if u ask me.....

of course...if in the span of 3 short years my franchise went from the toast of the league and champions to being completely irrelevant, i would be pissed too...would be??? I WAS! LOL.....

I'll try to simplify it for you.

Opinions and predictions are just that.
I thought Warriors would win, I thought Wade would stay.
Both were wrong. Whatever? No biggie. I'll live with it, and under the same circumstances I'd make the same predictions today.

What I don't do is flip flop and make shit up, which is all you do, depending if you like the team or not.

Either you feel Wade is worth big money, multiple years or you don't.
I personally don't considering the Heats current situation.
If we had last years complete roster, I'd for sure want him.
It has nothing to do with what team he is on.
I wish him the best.

Who's predicting the future, dumbass? These pictures were from as recent as 3 years ago.

I've got an excuse. It's either this forum or my husband!

I think OKC can do better unless they really wanted Love.
JR wouldn't get the open looks and the draft pick would be 27-28 prob

If I'm the Cavs, it's worth the gamble considering the Warriors roster.

 

[Shanemansj13]

So where does that say she confirmed that the Heat offered $10 mil per year.

Why do you need to confirm Riley is a greedy, low-balling piece of scum lol. Wade sacrificed and Riley disrespected him in the end...nothing else to be said.

 

[Heatles84]

I also saw one on ESPN saying it could have been handled a little better as well.

Probably. Honestly, it's the best path for both parties. Maybe Wade comes back after his 2-year deal. Same thing happened with Zo in the early 2000's. Would be nice, but I'm more focused on the rebuild than I am having nostalgic moments.

Thats a pretty good point, I think.

Since the Durant news I have been more open to shaking things up than I was before.

NBA Rumors: Cavaliers willing to trade Kevin Love, JR Smith and 2017 first round pick for Russell Westbrook for roster upgrade?

kyrie and russell on the same team? i dont know if i could handle it....lol....

@Mecca they would need a bigger pen to contain those hogs...

No way. If so, the NBA has to do something and step in. Going to be a bunch of super teams and bottom feeders.

 

[Robotech]

Lower NBA cap for 2017-18 may trouble Warriors

Lower cap means lower maxes, right? Maybe the lesser amounts that they would have to pay Durant and Curry will be just enough to keep Iguodala. Not sure if they can keep Livingston, though.

 

[gordontrue]

Larry Sanders is apparently open to the idea of an NBA comeback.

If he goes to the Warriors, I swear to God...

I saw that but the move doesn't make sense and just a rumor. Meh, 99% unlikely IMO

Warriors fans are praying for this, but the guy could be a headcase.

I wouldn't be surprised but I would think he could get a lot more money in this market even if he wasn't in the league last year.
