Speaking of Nance, Jr. how the hell did he end up playing CBB @ Wyoming?

Larry Jr. brought his family’s modesty to Wyoming’s university, a place he chose, to his parents’ surprise, after becoming infatuated during his recruiting visit. He says he also appreciated Cowboy head coach Larry Shyatt’s philosophy on life and basketball and believed that UW’s educational offerings would best prepare him for a career in criminal justice.

The Cavaliers could have significant space when the cap rises to $116 million in 2020.

Now here's a question for you. Cap space is irrelevant when nobody wants to come to your team so who would they get?

I dont see guys like AD or Giannis lining up to move to Cleveland no matter how much money they throw at them.

Especially if by then their number two option would be a ridiculously aged Kevin Love.

Very true. Right now he's saying he wants to stick around. By the end of the year that could change. If he stays great. If not, adios muther fuker!

On the first day they're allowed to, the Lakers exercise next year's team options on the young core four.

Not at all shocking, but I like the message this sends to those guys going into the season.

That Nance deal was horrible lol but yet Wiggy was out here criticizing the Heat for basically signing Winslow to a 2 year deal lol.

Winslow is a better player and as I mentioned before, Miami will not pickup that 3rd year unless he is outperforming his contract in the first 2 years of the deal.

BOOM.

Yeah, have to agree here. I do think that the Cavs have overpaid Nance, but not at the level that some seem to think. The fact that his contract is front loaded, makes it even better.

The Cavs are rebuilding, cap space isn't terribly important right now. But in a couple of years, when they may very well need cap space to chase FA's, they will have Nance taking up less cap space than he does right now.

Nance certainly isn't going to be a star, but he can be an important role player on a winning team. He's one of those "hustle guys" that every team needs, who brings energy every time he's on the court. Kind of a Joakim Noah type player.
Sounds like they gave him a bonus to stay and he knows it. For me, the Lakers gave him up to empower them to get LeBron, so if Wiggy... is happy with Nance over LeBron, I am very happy for him:suds:
