I blame that on the "relations" Willis.

God man, this is infuriating that people continue to ignore this SIMPLE fact. It would have ONLY BEEN A CAP HIT OF $15M NEXT YEAR IF NEW YORK WOULD HAVE MATCHED!!!!!!!!

anger management, anyone?

That and the career, haha. Basically you can pinpoint my declined presence on the boards with when I got my act together with college and decided to get it over with and graduate.

He is in some very good company in those categories & he is a unique "banger".

How anybody could call him WORTHLESS is beyond me hahaha

not that the bar was set very high, but in one year, the new front office seems to be the best we've ever had at talent assessment.

Yea back when I was considering pursuing a sports journalism career.

You can still find some of my old articles in the archives for realgm. Plus I was one of the guys who made a lot of the "game day threads".

Wow...

Major risk/reward factor with that team.

I still think they screwed the pooch by not getting Drummond, him & Kyrie in the PnR?....MAN...but I guess it's easy to say that now.

and I'd say most who followed the situation closely would have predicted Houston with all the information out there prior to either of those tweets. The fraud was just lame enough to create a fake handle, so he could pretend like he's an insider and get gullible followers.

I would keep tabs on it. The timing and wording with his tweet and Sam A.'s leads me to believe they had the same source.

Sweet. If they get him, that means Kyrie will be available when his contract is up after the 2015-16 season.

he'll still be restricted, if not already extended at that time.

It's going to be a difficult sell to get him to extend when they have a dead weight max contract tied up in Bynum.

They are only in the Bynum race if he accepts a one year deal.

Cavs likely won't be factor if Bynum proves healthy enough to command multi-year deal. But hard to beat if Bynum settles for one-year pact

Team to watch in chase for Andrew Bynum: Cleveland. Hearing Cavs not only have legit interest but can also make lucrative one-year offer

Marcus Smart led the U19 team to the championship today and won. America now is champion in all men's and women's age groups.
