Official Offseason News and Rumors

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Nobody paid attention to him in Canada, lets be real. Yes, they met at the drsft and then it followed at the Olympics. But no one gave a shit about him basically playing in the Canadian league.

I call bullshit on that.
He was coveted since before he was drafted and both times he's entered FA.

If Bosh was coming there with James ( instead of James Jones), you would be creaming your jeans.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Yup. I've never liked Lebron but I'm starting to hate him even more from taking Love now

I never liked him before he came here, but I sure enjoyed him and the perks of players wanting to play with him while he was here.

Anyway, in my opinion, the new CBA is totally backfiring as far as in what the owners hopes were.

I have a feeling that when either or both sides opt out of the current one in a couple more years, it's going to get really ugly.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Easily.
Hell, the Cavs are favored now (shouldn't be) and as of today ( except for his addition), their roster in much worse then the one they had which didn't even make the playoffs last year.

Wiggins and Miller > Jack and bench players

I would take Love over him. But yah, if you replace Bosh with Wiggins, it would be good right now. I just have a good feeling about this kid.

Not in the Western Conference

BULLSHIT.

Kobe did it alone twice in 05 & 06 with a shitty roster.

CP3 did it a few times in New Orleans with a crappy roster also

Wiggins and Miller > Jack and bench players

So Deng and Hawes were bench players?

You take James off your current roster and you aren't winning what, 25 games?
Give me a number.

Wiggins is a raw 19 year old with potentially a tremendous upside A FEW YEARS down the road.
And Miller? Seriously? Yes, he's a streaky 3 point shooter, but so was Jason Kapono.

Rumors on the schedule are a few more back to backs for each team to allow for an entire week off at the allstar break

 

[Hambombs]

Kevin love just pulled out of USA team tryouts. Lebron effect continues

I saw that also.....That week off will be terrible for the fans IMO

 

[bksballer89]

Love is a bitch. You can't play for team USA because you haven't been traded yet?

 

[gordontrue]

Yeah I agree. NFL is over by then. It'll be all college ball for a week.

 

[gordontrue]

What are Loves reason, though? It's easy to assume it has to do with the whole trade thing, but who knows?

Griffin just pulled out, too. No uproar over that. I honestly don't think big time veterans should be involved with international ball unless it's the actual Olympics.

Everyone on twitter said he is citing the reason as his "current status". Easy to read between the lines.

 

[bksballer89]

It's just ridiculous when players commit and drop out for no good reason.

All those players who dropped out without a legit reason (pretty much everyone except Leonard) I will not invite back 2 years from now

Yeah, that's true. I get that.

 

[bksballer89]

We may no longer win this tournament with all the 4's who dropped out

 

[The Oldtimer]

Before my time, You seXXXy beast.

But from the stories I have read, sounds like you are correct.

It's painfully obvious that I'm a late 80's/ early 90's NBA fan.

LOL, I can't help it if I've been watching the NBA since the late 50s, but I do like your settle way of saying, that I'm an old man.

Wiggins and Miller > Jack and bench players

Wiggins hasn't played a meaningful minute in the NBA. Talented, but that doesn't always translate over. Miller's good, but health is often an issue.

 

[Heatles84]

I've heard Love's attitude is a major hindrance. I wonder if this will affect him in Cleveland. Lebron certainly grew up while in Miami, at least in the respects of not continuously show boating and taking selfies with the team. Maybe Lebron smacks him upside the head.

I still take him over a backup PG
