1st

and I wonder how much of an impact Wade having to sit so much will have on LeBron's and Bosh's decision to stay with the team. I can really see Bosh going somewhere else to prove that he still "has it"

Good question.

I think that Bosh is almost certainly gone and then that leaves LeBron to decide if Wade and some redistributed cap space is going to be enough to win for the next 5 years. I could see them trying to pick up Kyle Lowry and spencer hawes with the cap space void that Bosh could potentially leave.

Is that enough to keep LeBron in Miami, maybe... It just depends on his other option which in my estimation don't hold a candle to what MIami can offer.

If I were Lebron, I would wait until next year, and then go wherever Kevin Love goes. He'll be 30 this year. Time to start taking it easy and saving something for the playoffs. Love him or hate him, his style of play leads to a lot of bumps in the paint.

Not gonna lie. I have thought about a team of LeBron and Kevin Love, but I don't think LeBron is willing to risk losing out on some potential money should he get injured, not to mention that he is essentially giving up winning a chip for a year while they would be waiting for Kevin.

LeBron isn't following Kevin Love anywhere. He's LeBron, I highly doubt he is going to let what Kevin Love decides to do dictate what he is doing with his own future.

Kevin Love better try to follow HIM if LBJ decides to leave.

I know that we already learned that Wiggins and Exum are #1 and #2 for us (priority), but I didn't know Parker and Smart were next in line as #3 and #4, respectively.

My apologies if this has already been posted:

Let's go boston, finish strong

Embiid declared today. I honestly thought he was gonna stay with the way he was talking on Twitter.

The ball is in your court Parker, stay back in college and risk injury, or be a top-5 pick in this draft?

EDIT: My b, he's expected to declare but he's holding a press conference today. Honestly, nobody really calls for a press conference if they're staying, so we should be cool.

Don't put too much stock into that. Most front offices aren't going to tell you what their board looks like so far ahead of the draft.

You're probably right. I just really like Parker. I got excited that we actually like him.

Knicks are the best.

Embiid declares per wiretap! This is great news for the Magic as this draft class just got a little deeper. Now if only Jabari would declare...

I think the Magic board is one of the very few boards on RealGM who has too many people who blindly praise Exum and Trash Randle. Heck, people actually think Randle would not make the top 10 in this draft. After this tournament, I would take Randle over Exum. I wouldn't doubt if he goes top 4. Some fans are just blinded by the fascination of procuring a superstar as if they grow on trees and every player that has highlights must have superstar talent.

The magic board has a lot of sensitive people as well :lol:
