Official Offseason News and Rumors

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Yeah, his signing makes more sense if they did it with Lebron in mind.

Both he or Deng would get the Lions share of minutes anyway.

So, Granger only hurts you if the starter gets injured.
Is his 2nd year guaranteed?

Player option in season 2.

I have all the faith in the world in you.....You do not need luck....You are an amazing person...

Thanks, Kitten.

I'm in my 3rd Semester for Orthotics and Prosthetics at Loma Linda U.

Huge step up from getting my RN at a Community College.

But, it's working at the VA hospital that scares me most.

Classes will be brutal, hours will be brutal and you know how I am about leaving my kids

Two more long ass years

Tough call, but since we will be a much more traditional offense, he might be needed more.

One thing for sure, the Heat learned a lot about him last year.

Like I said earlier, I'm not sure if they just don't want him vs not wanting to promise him something that they might not want to honor.

No player with his history should demand minutes.
If he's healthy and effective, there would be no reason he wouldn't get them.

That avatar cracks me up !!!!!!!!!!!

I wonder if Andre Blatche is really a headcase like some claim.

It's mind-boggling that he hasn't been signed yet either.

I agree Mecca. Guys like Blatche and Oden could become good players that could fulfill those role players pieces that everyone clamors for but have difficulty finding.

Have you seen Russ Irving lately ???

Drank himself to death celebrating the " Return of the King ".

Having completed several advanced degrees myself, the time goes by pretty quick. Those two years will be done before you know it!

I see your point but disagree.
If the Wolves lose him for nothing, it means he's not a Cav THIS year, and that is what James wants.
If he hits FA, the Cavs might never sniff him once he meets with the Lakers.

If I'm the Wolves owner, I'm not getting bullied into any deal that isn't making me a better, deeper team.

Without Wiggins, the Cavs offer is total garbage.

When Kyrie and Andy are in their normal rotation on the DL, the Cavs won't look near as smart or smug as some of you want to believe.

You guys have been handed the world through lotto balls, and now you want other teams owners to also reward you. Good luck with that.

Don't forget the Knicks who will have a ton of cash.

I'm sure he wants to play with King James.

But, he'd likely not lose much sleep if he ended up the King of New York, on a max deal, playing with Melo and for Phil Jackson.

I hope you are right.

I took the ass-backwards route to Higher Education.

But, it has worked out well.

6 years Navy, 13 years Sheriffs Department, Husband, Kids, Early Retirement....

Then I went back and got my degree.

The type or style of the journey is not as important as the journey that leads to the achievement of the goal. The sum total is food for the soul!

Blatche is perfect for the warriors. But I know the warriors are into high IQ guys though

I actually have to agree with Russ on this one.

If Kevin Love has given off the vibe that he will only sign long-term with the Cavs, then Cleveland doesn't have to offer shit. Lebron said it himself, building a title team takes time and chemistry. He won't be blasted if the Cavs fall short of a title this upcoming season.

If in the next 5 years, Cleveland happens to win a title or two, then Lebron's career is a success and the story book ending in the eyes of many came to fruition. Lebron's a smart man and he'd most certainly take the chance of Love leaving the next season for nothing while the Cavs get to hold onto Wiggins who may or may not be a top 5 NBA player in the league once he hits his prime.

This was the same thing that happened to Orlando with Dwight. Teams knew he was only going to extend in a few locations which brought down his value, because teams like the Lakers and Nets knew they didn't have to contend in getting his services.

Being a veteran, I hope you improve the quality of service at the VA. It's pretty bad.....at least it was while I was living in Florida. Haven't dealt with it in Texas. Good luck on your ventures though.

TY, that is the plan.

I'm only one person. But, I plan to do all I can to make sure we never read another story about a Vet dying in the waiting room, waiting to see a Doctor.

That is some shameful shit.

 

[DJ Fieri]

The NY deal isn't as bad as people make it out to be.

Amare is an expiring contract that they lose next summer and they get 2 solid youngsters. If NY had a 1st rounder it'd be a no-brainer so Minny doesn't have to help out James.

 

[DJ Fieri]

I can't believe Mo Williams hasn't signed yet.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Just a drive-by, have a great day.

 

[trojanfan12]

That's AWESOME, Mick.

I'm sure she will enjoy it.

It also helps to show her what she can accomplish with hard work.

So, money well spent.

We have been hitting the WNBA games this Summer.

Cheap, air conditioned entertainment

When my daughter was younger, I used to take her to Sparks games. A lot more fun than I expected. Lisa Leslie was her favorite player.

Love is an expiring contract.

If they wanted salary relief, they could simply keep him.

The Knicks deal is pure garbage compared to the other 3.

Off to see Hercules!

Saw Lucy last night and it was surprisingly entertaining.

Out.
