[TurnUpTheHeat]

Give Wiggy credit, he did harp on the idea that we'd see Warriors Cavs IV this year, and I don't see anything having changed that from being the likely outcome.

Credit for what?
Did anyone here say that they expected anything different?

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

YOu have to. Heyward helps the Celtics, but they are still a big move away from getting to Cleveland's level. They have the assets to make it happen if they find the right one.

Correct..and apparently they might have to give up Crowder or Bradley?
I read possibly over 1M?
That seems ridiculous if true.
Or did I misunderstand something?

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

So....Rudy Gay to the Heat or Jazz?

Heat pecking order:
Johnson
Waiters
Gay

I'm feeling Riley gets all 3.

@bksballer89 @Heatles84
Can we afford it or would we have to lose someone?

depends on who wants to take a discount.

Unless lebron, Durant and Curry all get injured from February onwards, that is most likely going to be the case.

If Gay wants a ton, then screw him.

We saw our results with the other 2 last year.

I believe we can afford it. But I think Waiters would be the hang up for wanting more money then he should get.

@Mecca

I think he should go back to the Dubs for one more year. He might be a starter this coming year given his emergence in the playoffs. Plus, nothing like giving another year to the team that resurrected your career.

Zaza is free agent so that is one position they need to fill.

I heard he may be on his way back to Oakland as well given that interest in him has been fairly low.

lol not shocking.

Unless he gets offer(s) from other teams, he has no leverage to ask for something crazy.
My guess is that Riley moves quickly today to try to get it all figured out.
If Dion is going to drag out the progress, then my guess is Riley doesn't wait for him if he feels he can get Gay at a fair price.
Johnson seems like a no brainer and he's been nice enough to wait.

Where the fuck does Beasley stand in all of this?
Caspi?
WTF?

Congrats @mick7-1961 , @Vyle203 , @Wamu, @LogicMan , @Gman .

Huge get!

Heat fans don't fret. You guys have great young talent and will be playoff bound this Season.

@Heatles84 Mama will make it better.

Good things happen to good people..............................thanks Mecca. Looks like a franchise has made it through a rebuild just in time to spank LBJ to the west coast!

NEWSFLASH: Jae Crowder is available.........but I bet its Bradley as the odd man out

Crowder's still on a good deal that it's worth keeping him. Bradley's is (or is about to) cost some serious money. I'm guessing Bradley.

 

[LogicMan]

Thats my thought too. AB deserves a nice deal in the 20M per year range. Crowder can be kept at a cheap price.

Washington should inquire as to the price of Crowder -- that way they don't need to max Porter.

The 76ers will give Boston Okafor for Bradley straight up. Deal?
