Totally. It's going to be great. Tons of movement and its already begun early.

Daily trade rumors but nothing happens

Paul George or Gordon Hayward to Miami

Blazers trade their picks for Melo, Love or George.

Mavs sign Derrick Rose to 2 year deal with player option for 2nd season.

Rick Carslie brings out the best we've seen in Rose (post MVP season of course).

Lebron gets injured and Raptors advanced to the NBA finals against the Warriors only to be humiliated by a 4 game sweep

Lakers get Paul George for Clarkson + Nance (or Zubac) and a pick

76ers take Fultz, Lakers take Lonzo, Celtics take Tatum, Suns take Isaac, Kings take Fox, Magic take Smith Jr, Wolves take Monk....

You get it... JJ slipping all the way out of the top 5 entirely, teams passing him up due to concerns about his immaturity and attitude problems and inability to shoot free throws and he falls to Knicks' lap at 8, who gladly take him.

In summer league:
JJ will murder the summer league by averaging 27ppg, 7rpg, 4apg
Fultz averages pedestrian 14ppg, 6rpg, 4apg, but he doesn't force things, and his skills are clear why he's no 1
Lonzo averages 18ppg and 11apg, 3spg


Love, George, Melo, Rose, Rubio, Wade find new teams on draft night

Somehow Cavs are able to land George, Melo, and Wade while only parting with Love and Shump
C - LeBron James
PF - Carmelo Anthony
SF - Paul George
SG - Dwyane Wade
PG - Kyrie Irving

and CP3 is REALLY intrigued in joining Cavs

Hear Ye, Hear Ye for I present my boldest of predictions that is almost impossible, Yet alas that was the task at hand. Behold:

-Marvin Williams + Lamb + Bellinelli + Sessions + 2017 (11th overall) pick for Carmelo Anthony. Need to get as close to 30mill outgoing from Charlotte to cover Melo's trade kicker.

-Melo is a Jordan sponsored athlete, and rumours say the hornets will wear Jordan brand uniforms instead of Nike. Plus the rumours that Melo's pregnant girlfriend moved from Chicago to Charlotte to stay away from publicity and the fact that it will be close enough to NYC and his first kid with LALA.

-The hornets basically trade marvin williams and 11th pick for Melo, as they're not that high on Lamb, Sessions is expiring and Bellinelli 1more year.

-Their starting 5 would be Kemba, Batum,Melo,MKD,Zeller, sixth man kaminsky.

-Hornets would then be under the salary cap and could sign players with the non-taxpayer exception, the biannual exception and a trade exception from the troy daniels trade. would be more than enough to fill out the roster with veterans on cheap make good deals like a Ty Lawson/Tolliver type players.

Summer League playoffs?

Cavs get Jimmy Butler

Lebron doesn't make the finals.

Dennis Smith will win ROY.

Cavs get PG13. Kyrie will average under 20 ppg but over 8 apg.

The Sixers will win 50+ games this season, providing everyone stays reasonably healthy.

Melo gets cut by the Knicks because they cant find a trade partner and he signs with Cleveland for $12/hr.

CC: BWindhorst

The Pelicans find a way to trade smaller assets for the right to offer big contract to Tim Hardaway Jr.

Every top free agent this year signs with the Nets and creates the most ultimate super-team to destroy the Cavs and Warriors.

Picks (via Boston) to Indiana

And Perhaps they also sign Gordon Hayward?? That team would be pretty scary..

Cavs trade away Irving and Love in 3-teams trade. Use the assets they get to acquire Butler, Paul George and Favors. Or Dellavedova. Main point is: Irving and Love out, Butler, George and a high-level role-player to play 1 or 5 in. At least I hope this happens.
