Interesting thought, if he pushes himself to LA with George this year...could totally see Laker picks/Deng/Randle for Wade to get them another guy. Could be interesting

PG: Ball

LOL no they're not dangling that much for old ass Dwyane Wade who is on his last legs. I know he and Wade are boys, but he's not stupid and Wade is a FA in a year and they can just sign him outright.


Who said how much? I'm not talking about the #2 pick here and they are going to have to pay to move that Deng contract


You said "Laker picks/Deng/Randle." That's laughably absurd to give up for a guy who will be 36 next year, is on the verge of free agency, and who can't space the floor or play defense. I'd rather have Randle and those picks, even if I have to eat Deng's contract, than take on Wade at that price.

LeBron hasn't even tried to hide his future intentions. He has made it clear that he wants to play with CP3, Melo, and Wade all on the same team. My guess is that the Clippers have the best shot at making that happen. If the Clippers get Melo then I promise you that Wade and LeBron will follow after next year.

Neh, I don't think it is far off depending on what the picks up end up being...I was thinking one of those in the 20s this year and maybe something else. I don't think Lebron gives a **** about a guy like Randle if he is making his next super team...I also think Ingram would probably get moved in the deal, assuming Lebron was traded to the Lakers.

Severely doubt it happens, but this is going to be a crazy off season, so who the **** knows.

I think Love's much more likely to be traded than Kyrie.

Can we not trade for Kyrie please? You win championships with defense. Kyrie played as well as he can play during the last Finals and he still proved to be a liability.

Kyrie literally just won a championship last year while outplaying Steph Curry in the Finals.

Incredible individual talent, incredible. Still, don't think he is any more successful than a guy like Derozan without an "alpha" keeping him in check.

DeMar DeRozan doesn't have a 3PT shot and is consistently a garbage playoff performer. Kyrie is the opposite of those two things.

Not my point in comparing their games, comparing the likelihood of winning playoff series with those guys as your best player. We'll probably see next year in Toronto without Lowry, Derozan will put up gaudy stats, but be a first round exit...Same thing if Kyrie was the lead dog on his own team. Those guys as your best player aren't getting you very far, and watching either ISO all day with Giannis picking his nose isn't really something I'd care to see either.

Kyrie won a championship like Mario Chalmers won a championship. We have seen plenty of games over the years where Kyrie plays and LeBron sits and the Cavs are hot garbage. Outplaying Curry (while conveniently ignoring the fact that Curry was terrible) or making all the highlight reel plays in the world won't make Kyrie a winner. The only thing that makes Kyrie a winner is LeBron.

Ok, we can save the Kyrie debate for some other time, or at least I will. Too much other stuff is going to be going down in the next 24 hours to rehash this debate for me.
