Chew on that for a second.


If just LeBron goes, that should be good enough for the Wizards chances.

Eh, if Melo stays in the East, he's heading to Chicago. And Chicago with Anthony is significantly better than anything we'll field next year, IMO.

That's not guranteed.. Wall and Beal with playoff experience is dangerous even if Rose is healthy and Carmelo Wall and Beal can be the better duo than those two but it's more on Beal than Wall if he gets his handles right best duo in da East.

Well, no, it's not guaranteed. We're talking in pure hypotheticals. Just as Wall and Beal becoming the best duo in the East is not guaranteed. But logically, a Chicago team that was better than Washington in 13-14 without Rose and Anthony will also be better in 14-15 with Rose and Anthony.

I have been chewing Miller... LOL

Its interesting when you think on it.

On one hand you would think players would go East because its easier.
On the other hand there is gravity to pull them West because those teams are more ready.

True, you are right Chicago would be the favorite. IMO though the Wizards would have a chance if the Bulls have to give up significant pieces in a sign and trade, plus Derrick Rose's injury concerns.

Thats the real story.

If he wants to really get his name in the MJ game, thats some low hanging fruit.

No way he would ever match what MJ did in CHI.

But he could beat what MJ did here.

Not sure it's fair to hold anyone to the Tim Duncan standard. He's one of a kind.

I'm in no position to judge what level and style of gloating is appropriate for champions.

LeBron opted out to create the cap space to acquire Perkins.

There are definitely a lot of potential moves out there, but this one makes no sense.

He should just flip a coin.

I can make a case for both staying in MIA on a 1 yr with opt and waiting until next year to decide on CLE or NY or
Going to CLE now if he knows Love will join next year.

If not, NY next year with Melo when they have cap space to add him.

Seems smarter to wait one more year I think. But that does put him behind the curve on getting the team to gel around him which is needed if you want to win titles.

smh

NBA gifts the Cavs with what, four #1s in a row? And bandwagoner Lebron all of a sudden wants to go back.

Reminds me of third grade soccer, with the winning team getting bigger and bigger and the other team dwindling away to like me and three other losers.

YOU HEAR ME LEBRON?!?!?! THIRD GRADE!!!!

Wait, I don't understand. Didn't the cavs just draft a sf? And Bennett plays the four, so what position is he supposed to play?

If they get Lebron I would expect them to trade Wiggins down the road for more "win now" players. Doesn't make sense to build towards the future AND go for chips at the same time. As to Bennett, he needs to show he belongs in the NBA first before Cleveland figures out what to do with him.
