Granted there is the butterfly effect and things could have turned out differently but...

Bad ideas Cleveland made from last season

1.) hiring Mike Brown
2.) Signing Bynum
3.) Not trading Waiters when you know he doesn't play well with Irving
4.) Drafting Bennett instead of Oladipo. The guy who is a perfect fit next to Irving.
5.) I personally didn't like them signing Jack to that much money given their roster.
6.) I would have traded Varejao for anything I could without taking back salary

They in theory could have lucked into

Irving
Oladipo
Wiggins
Thompson
Zeller
Karasev
Felix

Only had $22,000,000 in salary, including Wiggins this year. That gives them every option in the book going forward.

Instead they took a really, really bad stab at trying to be a 8th place team in the East. Very short sighted.

With only $22 million in salaries, can you imagine if Lebron wanted to go back to Cleveland? They could sign him for say $18 million, then sign either Bosh or Melo to the same type of contract.

Ivring / Jack
Wiggins(#1 pick) / Waiters / Felix
James / Bennett / Karasev
Melo / Thompson
? / Zeller / Nurkic

OR

Ivring / Jack
Wiggins(#1 pick) / Waiters / Felix
James / Bennett / Karasev
Bosh / Thompson
? / Zeller / Nurkic(#10 pick)

Cleveland would become the new free agent destination with that lineup! Maybe they take Embiid instead of Wiggins, then sign Ray Allen and have a lineup like this:

Ivring / Jack
Waiters / Allen / Felix
James / Bennett / Karasev
Bosh / Thompson
Embid / Zeller / Nurkic(#10 pick)

SCAREY!!!

Player Profile - Damian Lillard

SEASON HIGHLIGHTS BY THE NUMBERS

1 - His 403 3-pointers through his first two seasons in the league ranks first all-time in the NBA

5 - Participated in five All-Star Weekend events (BBVA Compass Rising Stars Challenge, Taco Bell Skills Challenge, Foot Locker Three-Point Contest, Sprite Slam Dunk, 63rd NBA All-Star Game), winning the Taco Bell Skills Challenge for the second consecutive year, this time with teammate Trey Burke from the Utah Jazz

218 - Most 3-pointers made by a Portland player in franchise history for one season

2013-14 CAMPAIGN

Sophomore, Damian Lillard added another fantastic season to his resume averaging a career-high 20.7 points (42.4% FG, 39.4% 3-PT, 87.1% FT), along with 3.5 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 0.8 steals and 35.8 minutes while starting all 82 games. At he end of the year he was ranked third in the NBA in 3-point field goals made (218), eighth in free throw percentage (87.1%), 16th in the league in scoring (20.7 ppg) and tied for 22nd in assists (5.6 apg.) Lillard joined Geoff Petrie and Sidney Wicks as the only Trail Blazers to score 3,000 points in their first 150 NBA games and is the seventh NBA player since 2002 to achieve the feat (K. Irving, B. Griffin, K. Durant, L. James, D. Wade, C. Anthony.) He joined Clyde Drexler as the only Portland players to ever record 38 points, 11 assists and four 3-pointers in a game.

His ability to perform in clutch situations was also solidified, ranking him second in the NBA in fourth quarter scoring (466), only behind Kevin Durant (531.) Only four players in NBA history have more points (3,257) and assists (988) in their first two seasons (O. Robertson, T. Archibald, A Iverson, L. James.) His top tier talent earned him a spot on the 2014 Western Conference All-Star Team for the first time, joining teammate LaMarcus Aldridge on the squad.

Lillard continued his strong play into the postseason. In his first postseason run he averaged 22.9 points, 6.5 assists and 5.1 rebounds in 42.3 minutes. The most memorable shot of the year coming in Game 6 of the first round against the Houston Rockets when he drilled a three-pointer at the buzzer clinching Portland’s first Playoffs series victory in 14 years.

I'm seeing far too much basketball talk in the AGT thread.

To rectify this, I give you a Star Trek Stabilized gif.

Here's a tip: Don't pull a DusterBuster and go and try to troll the Heat forum.

Yes, your trolling of the Heat board which was already being trolled by numerous people was totally worth it. It didn't add any extra work for those moderators there. I remember you not reacting well to certain Minnesota fans, who were then labeled trolls, during the debacle with Nicolas, his agent and Minnesota.

If people don't like trolls coming to their boards, probably shouldn't go to other boards and do the same. Especially considering LaMArcus is a UFA next summer, regardless of what he's said.

When you post a trade, you need to list the reasons all teams involved would make that trade.

Not a chance.
