at least if you bring in Bledsoe and Middleton you have a helluva team to try and get LeBron to resign for another year or two--- and if he leaves after ethat--- hey--- thats cool
We have very different ideas on what constitutes a "helluva team."

Consensus seems to be building that the trade will go through as is.

If that happens, I'm expecting IT to be ready to go within the first month or two of the season.

Sounds about right.

I want to dislike this, but it's not your fault.

It's Bad Danny's fault.

It's becoming pretty apparent to me that Boston knew there would be issues with I.T. passing the physical.
That's the reason they included the Nets pick in this trade, but not the previous potential ones.

So... it appears IT was about on the same injury time line as he was all along...

... and Cleveland dangled him out there in public, trying to use fears over his injury as a post-deal bargaining tool...

... going days on end without clarifying their concerns...

... all to gain, what? An extra 2nd round pick? Maybe a late 1st?



Cleveland looks terrible here. What a classless organization.

Let's see him get his KG after laughably overpaying for the Ray Allen piece.

Overpay?

Haven't you heard?... IT may never walk again, let alone play basketball.

You're not beating GS with Hayward or Kyrie (hint it's GH but if someon wanna argue Kyrie it fits here anyway) as your best player.

This team is now capped below CLE for 2017, and below GS forever basically (in GS's current form).

I don't disagree with your assessment. However:

- The C's should be better than CLE as early as '18-'19
- Every team in the NBA is "below GS forever basically (in GS's current form)." Every... single... one. GS is one of the all time great teams.

C's have as good a chance of anyone of possibly striking the Warriors if and when something changes in Golden State (an injury is everyone's best hope at the moment).

Exactly, just because he GMs in Boston, it doesn't mean he can cheat as good as the cheat master himself.

Right? I mean you guys tried. All that adderall for nothing.

Big deal.

You "earn" (and that's a loose term when it's only cause Lebron leaves) the right to get swept by GS in the 2019 finals.

Yipee.

Then Kyrie opts out.

And all hell could break loose.

And all those valuable picks turn into zero star power.

I'm actually a fan of the C's betting on the quality of their organization on this front.

which is why you should be building for like 2021.

This move does nothing of the sort.
