Kinda odd he still has a bizarre obsession with anything Miami Heat.

the guys on the radio this morning said he was questionable their best guesses were that he was not going to play.

A little surprised.....Cavs have only a 2.5 game lead on Miami......as much as a game can be important in January- its a fairly important game.

Teams seem to trying to keep their true desire close to the vest.

Half of the crap out there is one team trying to get an opponent to jump after a player and keep them occupied while they're going after the guy they really want. Like the Celtics going after Poeltl. Are they really willing to pay the price? I think not.

Payton Pritchard for Naz Reid of the Timberwolves makes a ton of sense since the Wolves are on the hook for $77M next year with Towns and Gobert. Keeping Reid isn't a financial smart move next year.
Clippers are looking at Naz as well.

Lebron back in action tonight!

Looks to me he just took a break so he didn't have to tire himself out for a B2B. Same with AD

Someone also mentioned on twitter he might have done it so he can break the scoring record in LA rather than on the road.

Tax problems?

He’s a multi-BILLIONAIRE.

They don’t have tax problems.

You can’t look at the Clippers payroll through the same lens as other teams.

Ballmer won’t just throw money away for the hell of it.

He wants to win.

Oustide of the hard cap, they don’t have financial constraints.

More if they were still struggling to make the playoffs are we’re contemplating a major summer shakeup. Clearing off some salary obligations wouldn’t have been the worst move.

Fultz hasn't tanked yet? I get he is only 24 which seems crazy. I guess that contract isn't bad.

Anthony is a decent guard in that clusterfuck but for a backup/6th man option. Adding Scoot would be ideal

He’s been decent in Orlando. But they never should’ve made that trade.

The first they sent to them was maxey.

I absolutely assumed the scoring record was involved. Also possibly a slight fit over the bad non call.

That wouldn't surprise me either.

Plus, even with Lebron in the lineup I didn't see the Lakers beating the Nets. This was just a good opportunity for a rest as they stand a better chance against the Knicks.
