Wasn't aware it was a 100 page limit. My only issue with that (over 1000 posts) is, when using mobile, it is a little inconvenient to scroll down so far. No big deal though.

The more posts in a thread, the more slowdown it gets when trying to load. Add in the more posters currently viewing the thread and it makes it even slower. We will be getting hit hard tomorrow, so i figured i would just restart all 3 threads to keep everything speedy!

With Chandler going to Dallas it makes Suns a more likely destination for Bosch if Heat break up.

I could see them trading for Nash and the 7 since they have the space too. Bring Nash back to Dallas to replace Calderon.

Too bad we are not a major market; If we were Lebron and Love would be fighting to get here.

The whole U.S. hates Phoenix for some reason and they will never give us our due. I lived in LA for twenty years and grew-up in Chicago-Detroit, I know for a fact Phoenix is an awesome city and it should be a destination for any American let alone top athletes, but the media just doesn't covet us like that. (Possible reason) The young players are brain washed by ESPN and the rest into thinking Phoenix is a red-neck haven for racists bigots. I agrue with friends all of the time about Phoenix not being racists and they don't believe me, even though I have lived here for nine years by choice! Man we don't have a chance at winning anything unless we get lucky alas San Antonio Spurs.

Sorry for the rant, but it is like the Media forces you to root for about 3-5 NBA teams if you want to root for someone who has a chance at a title. I am so glad football is my first love!

Dallas has nothing to trade to LA that would warrant them giving up the 7th pick.

The big three from Miami met today to discuss their future. I really think they are all going to re-sign for less money and bring in new role players. They have made four straight finals and literally have a cakewalk to get there every year because the East is atrocious. The number one team in the East this past year was the Pacers. The same team the Phoenix Suns annihilated and the Suns did not even make the playoffs in the West. Why would Lebron actually want to leave the East to play in the West where almost every team is awesome?

My money is also on LeBron re-signing in Miami

Gorilla Warfare · Post #10 » by **Gorilla Warfare** » Thu Jun 26, 2014 2:36 am

LeBron will sign a 2-year with ETO in the 2nd year just to give it one last shot, but if they don't win next season (which I think they won't) he will bolt.

The Big 1 plus Wade/Bosh would probably do something like 12m a year each. They could sign Lowry & Gortat/Gasol.

Gorilla Warfare · Post #12 » by **Gorilla Warfare** » Thu Jun 26, 2014 2:45 am

LeBron made $30 million dollars off of the Apple buying Beats by Dre acquisition, it would be selfish for him to demand a high contract when the majority of his money are made off endorsement deals. If he was smart he would take a lot less so they can add more than Wade and Bosh to their team.

The talk has been LAL wants to clear space to make a run at Melo and James. They don't need much in return. It's a salary dump ala Kurt Thomas to Seattle for the world

If Dallas wants Nash then the Lakers know they don't have to include the 7th pick. Plus, Dallas won't want Nash, there are cheaper, young options out there, and the Lakers won't trade their pick away for an outlandish chance at Melo and Bron.

Crazy! Every team is going crazy to get Lebron. Don't they know he can only play with one team? I hope all of the other teams screw their roster and he goes back to the Heat. I hope McD plays his cards right with Bledsoe.

Exactly. It would be hilarious to see teams throw away valuable assets and then he just stays in Miami.

It would be selfish for teams to think they are entitled to Lebron signing a cheaper contract because of something that nothing to do with basketball

Gorilla Warfare · Post #18 » by **Gorilla Warfare** » Thu Jun 26, 2014 3:26 am

The more I think about it the more I think Bosh and Wade will be selfish and opt-in. I honestly don't think Bosh and Wade will get anything near $19 million anywhere else at this point in their careers, and won't want to go down to something along the lines of $12 million a year just to MAYBE beat one of the top 5 teams in the West in the Finals next season.

What if they opted out to get Gasol

Wade
James
Bosh
Gasol

Bledsoe for Bosh? I think Bosh would be perfect for our team.
