This off-season has been crazy thus far. More exciting and entertaining than the playoffs and of course the Raptors are not participating.

what the hell how did griffin and gilbert fall out that far in an hour? I doubt he would have been in deep talks with anyone if he knew he was leaving

Since I can't imagine how he could get Butler without trading Lebron or Kyrie, maybe Griffin wanted to move Lebron out in the face of the rumours that he would be bolting to LA next year? I know no team would do it but it would be great if they just traded his ass to the Kings for a year just for the laughs.

Lebron: "So, it's obvious we need another star, right?"

Lue: "Chauncey was saying Jimmy Butler is available. Let's get him."

Griffin: "Guys, it's not that easy. We don't have assets and we have 3 superstars already."

Lebron: "Dan, are you hearing this. He's saying it's impossible. Do we want a GM that thinks beating the Warriors is impossible?"

Griffin: "I'll see what I can do."

(An hour passes)

Lebron: "So, Jimmy B is arriving when?"

Griffin: "He isn't. They want high picks and prospects. We spent those building our current team."

Lebron: "Whatchoo mean we don't have draft picks?! Lue, Griffin trying to say we don't have draft picks now!"

Griffin: "We have draft picks. They're just late firsts because we are a good team."

Lue: "Chauncey could get us draft picks. Good ones. High ones. He told me."

Griffin: "I could get us something if we move Thompson."

Lebron: "Why would we do that? He's a great rebounder."

Griffin: "I know but we need more. Rebounds aren't going to get us past the Warriors and his huge contract limits us."

Lebron: "You gave him that! Lue, Griffin's complaining now about his own deals!"

Griffin: "But you and your agent made it clear you wanted him to stay."

Lebron: "Excuse me? Do I look like Donald **** Trump to you, Griffin?"

Griffin: "No, Bron."

Lebron: "Do you think you're James **** Comey?"

Griffin: "No, Bron."

Lebron: "I don't mettle. I don't influence. You're the boss. I just play basketball. Now get me Jimmy Butler!"

Lue: "I'm just saying... Chauncey could have probably signed Tristan for less AND got us picks. Chauncey could maybe even get us Jimmy by tomorrow."

Lebron: "See. Chauncey could do it! Danny G, you know what happens next. Prepare the comic sans."

Masai is short a GM. Do it.

Bring him home to Toronto, he'd fire Casey if he felt the need to.

And Chauncey is the preferred GM choice by Lebron.

He can replace the Weltman vacancy.

Gilbert is terrible.

How do you make a decision like this without telling LeBron?

Really hope Cleveland's implosion doesn't result in us holding on to our veteran core past it's best before date thinking we have a window. If we wait too long and KL and DD depreciate we could find ourselves in 9 seed limbo for years.
