Remember when Wiggy used to trash him @TurnUpTheHeat ?

He’ll trash anything Heat related.
But, the real trash is the Cavs each and every season they don’t have LeBron.

Rodney is looking really good.
He def makes winning type plays throughout the game.

12 mil I believe.

Dude is straight trash

ESPN had him ranked on their top 100 over Buddy...lol

 

[ManuForever]

Tough shot by Demar.

Same exact score as it was on Monday before LBJ hit the tying 3

I think the score was actually 128-125 before LeBron hit that shot on Monday.

Either way, happy with another gutsy W over Bron and the Lakers. DeRozan becoming a better playmaker has been massive for the Spurs.

He is just a 1 year deal (and hopefully trade fodder if the right deal materializes). Having the same agent as Lebron is a nice card to have up your sleeve apparently. Hart should get all of his minutes, with Svi and Lance getting backup minutes at the 2, especially with Ingram back next.

Why? Love is a damn good player and a lot of playoffs teams would love to have him on their roster.

Denver would gladly take him on their roster over Millsap

He is a good player.

But nobody is giving up a significantly valuable young asset to land him. He misses too many games and he is a liability on D.

And I am not so sure he would help Denver. They would be even more potent offensively, but just as bad as the Doug Moe Nuggets on D.

That is what gets lost on the Love evaluations. He can post numbers. But I have seen absolutely zero evidence that he actually makes his team significantly better. Not now, not even when he was in Minnesota.

If Gallo had more than 1 year left on his deal, I'd drive his ass to Cleveland myself for Love.

Sure.

But Gallo is a mediocre player on a bad contract. He is not an asset at all.

Love is a 5 time allstar.

Even then, you said you would drive Gallo yourself "if" he had more than 1 year. Implying that you wouldn't make the swap given their current contracts.

Maybe I am misinterpreting, but If so, that completely proves my point about Love's value. Cap space is probably better for the Clippers than Love would be.

 

[tlance]

True, but ball is a better fit with Lebron however

Perhaps.

But that is like saying ketchup fits better with ice cream than mustard does.

Neither is really what you want.

BOOM.

Love just signed a crazy extension that will be paying him when he's a shell of his former self.

And his shooting numbers this season suck.

@WiggyRuss

Tyronn Lue has been fired!!!!!!

Source: Cavs fire coach Lue after 0-6 start

 

[DJ Fieri]

The Cavs thought they would be winning after James left?

 

[bksballer89]

The Cavs thought they would be winning after James left?

Pretty sure they didn't expect 0-6

 

[DJ Fieri]

Live look at the Cavs organization:

 

[DJ Fieri]

Larry Drew has been named interim HC...

 

[DJ Fieri]

Lue is laughing all the way to the bank.....still owed 20 million.

 

[DJ Fieri]

"Sources told ESPN's Brian Windhorst that Lue recently had a disagreement with general manager Koby Altman over playing veterans. Altman preferred that Kyle Korver and JR Smith be taken out of the rotation to give time to younger players. After one game in which they didn't play, Lue put both back in the rotation without consulting Altman."

 

[DJ Fieri]

Korver and Smith will be dealt now.....ASAP.
