Lol...pure fantasy. Lebron? Nets? Really?

I have to applaud you sir. You are the biggest homer on this website. Not even Bob Windrem would let that **** come across his keyboard.

The way the salary cap has shaped the league is for each team to cultivate their own talent and keep it. The idea of forming super teams like the Yankees is more an anomaly than a trend, like we first thought with the Big 3 of Boston followed by the Big 3 in Miami. Can it still happen? Sure. But it sure doesn't seem like it will be the norm. We have to rely on drafting smartly, taking smart risks on high upside young talent, and then relying on free agency and trades to bring in final pieces rather than a core. That is how we will be able to create a winning product that is sustainable. Plain and simple.

Exactly. No one is forming super teams right now, because it isn't feasible.

Dallas just got PISSED on. I'm good with this mercenary gameplan. I cannot wait til 2019.

Because the franchise sucks they get worse every year. They'll miss Plumlee production next year watch, rolled the dice on a rookie :crazy: Could've traded away Deron's fat contract with Plumlee last year but at that moment Plumlee was untouchable :lol: :banghead:

Now expect a team to magically appear and give them what they want but it doesn't work that way BK gets robbed in every deal he makes the guy is just not a good GM but ownership loves him so what does that say about them.

Plumlee was playing out of his mind around the time the Deron/Sacramento story came out. It's foolish to even complain about that. His value dropped once Lopez started to get healthier. Hindsight is 20/20.

Had we traded Plumlee in that deal we would've had fans complaining about his missing production mid season. He's 25 and showed no signs of improvement. RHJ is 20 and considered the best defensive prospect in the draft and in terms of missing Plumlee's production? Robinson provides the same offense and athleticism with much better rebounding.

im lovin rondae hollis jefferson, his shot looks way better and his offense is more advanced and improved than i thought watching this summer league, we needed a defensive wing to guard the best players in league since kmart and kidd and kittles
