Official Offseason News and Rumors

[trojanfan12]

Calm down Heat fans, they still have to play the games. But Lebron assembled a hell of a roster, everything still has to go their way and have chemistry or none of it will work. I trust Lebron though.

Wait!! What?!? Weren't Cavs fans just recently telling us that Lebron has always been "hands off" when it comes to FO and personnel decisions?

Now he's assembled a hell of a roster?

 

[Shanemansj13]

They have the same old guys miami had except marion replaces battier/bird so I don't know wtf you're talking about

Except the fact they have young guys that can play as well, Miami had Cole. And Marion makes a difference especially defensively. Battier was shit and he hardly ever played this last season late.

Technically no, but he recruited them. He did some recruiting in Miami too.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Shouldn't your BEST players be on the floor during key moments?

If you get Allen, and he's taking any shot, any time..I can understand.

Anyone else on that bench. No way.

Be on the floor maybe, they have Bron, Love, Kyrie, and even Waiters for big shots. Marion can defend, Miller and Ray can shoot, yes they can take big shots

 

[Shanemansj13]

Um, they'll be maxed out. They won't be over the lux tax though.

Irving, 18 million.

James, 21 million.

Love will be making the most if he gets 24 million a season.

Quick math, that's 63 million.

Well like I said they can get a smooth 20 mil back from those two moves.

Battier had one bad year. He was darn good in his first 2 years and probably better defensively than marion will be.

Marion hasn't signed .

 

[Shanemansj13]

The season hasn't even started or close to starting and everyone already hates the Cavs.

I expected it but not this soon. Hopefully Lebron can make this happen and be successful with this crazy talent team.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Wait until the summer of '16!

Funnier yet, Gilbert was the biggest proponent against this.


And, not that I care, but I thought Wiggins couldn't be mentioned in a trade for 30 days????

August 23rd.

 

[trojanfan12]

Technically no, but he recruited them. He did some recruiting in Miami too.

If Cavs fans think anyone other than Lebron is pulling the strings in Cleveland, they are fooling themselves. Look at the roster that the Cavs are putting together. Lebron is replacing D-Wade and Bosh with Love and Kyrie and is bringing in what amounts to the Heat's bench players.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Well like I said they can get a smooth 20 mil back from those two moves.

That only takes them under the lux tax. They'll still owe 63 mill to Love, James and Irving.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Talking logically means you hate the Cavs?

 

[Heatles84]

The Heat were retarded for not giving him more minutes last year's playoffs. He can put up 20, any given night, if given the chance.

Yes, Beasley was the missing component to beating the Spurs.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Minny got ass raped (no lube) on this deal.

 

[Heatles84]

Bad move for Cleveland IMO. Wiggins is a great prospect and considerably cheaper than Love.

An lets not forget Lebron, Love and Irving were all undisputed #1 options last year - this year one of them is going to be #3. They'll be going from 20/25 shots per game to 10 shots.

It rarely works out when three superstars join teams. Miami was a big exception but Wade and Bosh knew beforehand they were going to be #2 and 3.

Obviously we'll have to wait and see but either Love or Irving are going to be EXTREMELY disappointed!

We'll see what happens now. This looks to all but be done. Well, the Cavs are about to feel the same pressure the Heat faced the last four years.

 

[Heatles84]

Cleveland bench is very old just as Miami bench was. Will they even be able to keep waiters/Thompson when their deals are up?

Not unless they're both willing to take one helluva discount. Let me know if that's possible in a state with state income tax and it being Cleveland.

No, the trade can't be MADE for 30 days.

All I heard from Cavs fans over the last week was that Lebron WASN'T the GM.

 

[LTCF]

I find it funny how everyone tore Miami up for creating the big 3 and was claiming tampering and such.. yet LBJ went on vacation with Jones and Ray Allen and convinced them to sign with Cleveland (we know Ray will) he called Miller a week before he made his decision and told him he wanted him to come play in Cleveland. Secretly met with Gilbert. Called Waiters 5 days prior to the decision and told him. I would bet anything he spoke with Love and had that in the works.. And for this he gets nothing but praise and Cleveland is brilliant ...

The main difference is Cleveland didn't do it while LeBron was under contract with the Heat. It was after the season was over and LBJ was a FA. Miami didn't do that. They conspired while LBJ was contracted to Cleveland, against the rules.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

30 days from when Wiggins signed, which is what I meant.
