I don't blame either side for Wade's departure to be honest. He probably was in a slightly better situation in Miami, but even then, I think it would take a perfect scenario for them to truly contend at the top of the East (aka fully healthy Wade/Bosh). So no problem with him wanting to finish out his career near his home. But I do believe something pissed him off. Not the dealing with Whiteside, everyone knew Wade would have to come 2nd with his Bird rights. But whatever the amount may have been I think it was about the contracts he had been offered. If maybe he was told to take the cut for the team and they'll get him back later, or something.

Dubs look like they're gonna be a team everyone's gonna be challenged nightly with "which of these guys do we try to stop?" a true case of pick your poison...


They could rotate sitting one of the four every night and prob still win more games then anyone.


Oh. My bad. They did that last year, cause they only had 3 of them.

Resigning Ian Clark was a solid move for them too. Might not help much for the playoffs, but great depth for the regular season. He can provide wing minutes allowing the big 5 to rest/sit.

I wonder whats up with JR Smith.....seems like most of the teams that might have interest in him outside of the Cavs have already spent quite a bit of their cap room....

who has cap room out there that might want totry and sign him away? Hoping the Cavs can get that done and then just worry about signing a vet. min guy or two at the end.

please dont trade Kevin Love!

I know kevin durant has given the lebron haters some more "hope" after the devastating ending of the "best" team ever and clearly curry needs more "help" but lebron and the cavs are the reigning champs...and util they are beaten that is the best team.

not everyone has to kiss the "Kings" ass. sorry for you LeClown lovers. is what it is...

and it can STILL be argued which team was actually "better". but be glad they won...

so here we are with possibly match 3 with these 2 teams and it's 1-1. guess we'll see who the "better team" truly is...

Passing the torch doesn't mean he has to retire. LeBron become the best in the league even when Kobe was still playing.

It's clearly Steph and KD who are below LeBron right now, but both these guys are on the same team, so it's really weird.

Kawhi Leonard? He is already ridiculous and 25.

Of course it's Steph, the guy is one of the best shooters in history. Which one of the young guys has the potential to be a superstar?

Westbrook, AD, Leonard, Towns...

NOW we agree. thing I like about Klaw most? kid LOVES to play 'D'. you see less and less of that nowadays...

In my mind, the face of the league or best player has to be great on both ends IMO

1 MVP says he is. disagree...?

So he wasn't an elite player before he went to the Warriors, not sure why he feels the need to do this now lol. It's not really like him to say something like this IMO
