They could have up to $25-$26 million if they don't resign Beasley, THJ or Schroeder.

Jerome is probably better than them. I'm not sure if they'd want to shake up the chemistry.

Now that Cleveland has to give Mobley the super-max (just like Cade if Cade makes all-nba as expected) the Cavs might not want to spend the money to keep him anyways. Or perhaps they keep him and move on from Okoro instead. I believe Mobley's DPOY award essentially allows him to make 30% of the cap starting out instead of 25%.

Kinda looked like a Achilles injury on Dame

It’s gotta be hard not to punch Haliburton in the face

Giannis getting busted out of the playoffs in the first round when he's still a top 3 player in this league and he's just going back to Kyle Kuzma, and injured aging Dame, and maybe time to retire Lopez brother who's already 37 and will be 38 before another playoff run... makes me think Giannis is moved this summer. He'll likely ask out quietly to start and the Bucks will likely want young rebuilding pieces and draft picks.

Honestly OKC or Houston could make a massive trade for him. Young talent plus 6-8 first round picks seems possible.

Jokic is also a top 3 player and could very well be out in the first round.

Good lord Miami is getting smoked

Would be nice if Miami would blow it up and trade us Bam. He would be what we’ve been looking for.

The rockets falling into the Warriors trap by throwing it in to Sengun to exploit the perceived mismatch

This has been my dream scenario for a while. Riley is cuthroat; if there is a good enough deal he'll bite. It's about what direction they want to go. I'm sure Plan A is still to go out and get a KD or two. But IF they wanted to go another direction we have some pieces. Bam wouldn't come cheap. But Cade/Bam?? Yes pls.

Luka doesn’t look like the same player. Dude better take his fitness more seriously.

Lakers done. We’re in the final 11 now.

And another Harden choke-job in Game 7 -- 7 pts.

Amen is a monster

MotownMadness · Post #2137 » by **MotownMadness** » Mon May 5, 2025 1:06 pm

Hopefully Ausar can be where Amen is in the near future. Amen is just having a bigger impact offensively off of pure hustle and better ball handling.

I feel like there's at least a slight chance LeBron moves on from the Lakers this summer. I know it would be crazy, but it feels like he's desperate to win another championship to help solidify his GOAT argument and I don't think him and Luka are going to be able to get it done in LA. Unless the Lakers can land one more stud to pair with LeBron * Luka it feels like LeBron could opt out... or opt in and get himself traded away. Now that AD is gone it kind of opens the door for him to ask out somewhere as well. Maybe GSW, maybe Dallas, maybe its the perfect time to jump back in to retire a Cav.
