Official Offseason News and Rumors

Considering it's Cleveland it's probably not a bad idea. I mean, they aren't exactly known 4 making the best moves & making good draft picks.

They have made more than their fair share of awful picks going back years.

Ur 2 cute! I like the emoticons the best but actually think the FN format was better. It was easier 2 read posts & follow the thread imo.

True but the CLASSIC FN went the way of the TWINKIES...

I think our teams are going to be fun to watch in the REGULAR SEASON...

With possibly pulling off a playoff birth, but both are under man'ed to compete in the POST

Tough to say. Maybe both?

Unless Wiggins gets injured, he should be the real deal.
Wasn't he touted as the best probable talent since James?

My guess is Gilbert would rather keep Wiggins, but knows that James wants Love...and if they can get him, and don't get him....then lose.......James might be homesick for any better situation, anytime he wants since he wants to live on year to year contracts.

Something like that. Although I hate comparisons like that. It was said that Parker is more NBA ready but Wiggins could have the brighter future. Way to early to tell how either will fair, but I think they will both be good.

If Clarkson plays well....trade YOUNG!!!!

I can't believe they brought him back.

AND paid him around $5 mil a season.

While coaching a very talented playoff team, everyone on that team may know who is really coaching the team. Takes authority away from the coach.

I'm surprised James doesn't insist on being named player/coach.
That would be one way to circumvent the salary cap, and be paid market value.

20M to play and 20M to coach.
Then he can use his assistants to manage the games for him.

I donno mountain man...i think Randle will be able 2 hold his own down there. He's already pretty big 2 only be 19.

From everything I have heard that 2 year deal was a business decision. In 2 years max contract will be worth even more. But that also gives LeBron a 2 year window to see how the team develops.

Remember when Indians fans were panicked when they trade Colon?
In return they got back unproven Phillips, Sizemore, and Lee.
Worked out pretty well for them.

In this case, I feel Love is the Colon.

I'd leave well enough alone unless the Cavs feel 100% that Love wins them a ring this year, which in my opinion is very risky.

How about Tyler Zeller, Joel Anthony & Vitor Faverani for Randle?

IMO it was a pretty smart business deal...but there's always gonna be folks mad that he didn't make the choice THEY thought he should.

I haven't seen him yet bud....

In the NCDOUBLE A I did and he looked like his DAD...

I'm just twiddling my fingers and wondering when the news aka DJ will report...

RONDO to the the ?????????????????

That would be a negative my friend!

That's a great example. And myself being a Tribe fan I remember when that trade when down and said...who the hell are these guys!? Also I guess I'm 50/50 about the possibility for the Cavs getting Love. Because if Wiggins turns out to be the player alotta folks think he'll become the Cavs will have a dynamite back court for years to come. No question though Love is a very talented hoopster.
