If OKC adds Gasol/Morrow, Houston adds Bosh and Clipps already got Hawes plus Mavs could get Deng or Parsons along with Tyson Chandler.


Why is the West so stacked?!?! Maybe we can trade one of our first rounders to swap places with a team in the East?

No way Mavs get both Deng and parsons. That's the fan in stein speaking. He is a Dallas guy.

A's over Royals. Lester and experience will prove that he's worth the trade.

Tigers winning it all. Tigers are, imo, peaking at the right time.

Bosh to Rockets


Lebron resigns with Heat along with Wade and 3-4 new pieces for depth.

Could this be tied into the Dragic rumors?


Don't need to trade for Lance, he's a UFA:

Bledsoe
Dragic
Stephenson
Kieff
Plumlee/Len

Entire starting lineup 27 or younger...

Lance Stephenson threw his girlfriend down the stairs and then pushed her face into a stair. He got into a fist fight the night before the playoffs started. His own teammates called him selfish. He does not fit the mold of a high character guy that the Suns mantra is. I do not want him on the team.

Is this really true?

He never said both. They're courting both but will only sign one.

Either guy would be a nice acquisition but Dallas will only be relevant as long as Dirk continues to play at a high level. Not a longterm threat.

Has anyone stopped to think maybe Lebron doesn't want to play with bosh? Maybe this was told to the suns and this is the reason they haven't offered Bosh a contract to entice Lebron. In the meantime Riley also knows this which is why they low balled him and not wade. Wade stays because him and LJ are close friends since even before 2010.

So now the heat are hoping bosh leaves so now they have extra cash to sign a lot more help than just Bosh. James saw how he doesn't need another max player to win a championship as the spurs whooped them without any type of player. Perhaps they can convince Melo to join or just get 3 really good role players to come in.

While Riley does this James and his camp have to explore all their options and entertain other teams so they are not accused of collusion to get rid of Bosh. Hence the conversation this weekend between Bosh and James. Bosh is delaying the process so James has to portray as a person who is seriously considering leaving.

Thinking about all this I don't think the suns or cavs stand a chance. We are both being used as decoys for the greater good of the heat and possibly a better deal for Bledsoe. The suns are being used right now. I think it's time the suns steal a restricted free agent from under someone's nose right about now (Hayward, parsons) while all the attention is on this drama.

James is a heat for life. Until he's a shell of himself and finishes his career in Cleveland. He's not moving his family again. I live in Miami and he loves it here. He's in the clubs all the time. LIV on Sundays. He's not giving that lifestyle up. His best friend is here (wade) he wouldn't betray him. Pat Riley is a mentor to him. His kids and family can visit ohio any time they want with all his money. Time to open our eyes and face reality we have no chance at the king.

Indiana Pacers draft pick Lance Stephenson allegedly threw his girlfriend, Jasmine Williams, down the stairs and “slammed” her head into the bottom stair because she wouldn’t pick up her phone while she was apparently on a girls’ night out.

A friend of Williams’s dad told the Daily News, “He was calling her cell phone, she wasn’t answering. This wasn’t the first time this happened…The father spoke to [Stephenson's] parents before. They said, ‘We aren’t going to call the cops and mess up his career but this has to stop. Enough is enough.’”

This dramatically changes our offense. The Dragic/Frye high P&R was our go-to play.

Good for Channing. We're going another direction. IMO, this makes us slightly more likely to trade Goran.

Channing Frye will do well in Orlando, and people will learn to appreciate what he meant to this team.

Good for him. He was a great teammate and part of some of the most memorable basketball I've ever watched. The 2010 Playoffs were an unforgettable ride. I just wish he would have boxed out. *sigh*
