So to recap, for Zeller they get out of a contract that runs through 2017 and they get a TPE. I think that's just a smart move. Certainly takes a different meaning with LeBron "in play" but I think that's a move that most teams would make regardless of what the next domino is.

This. LeBron might be leaving, but people are connecting dots that aren't dots at all.

Jarrett Jack was terrible last year, and his contract is an albatross for a team operating under the cap. Cleveland was able to unload him by attaching a guy who played 15 minutes per game on a 49-loss team and a foreign player who may or may not ever crack a rotation in the NBA.

This was a good move for Cleveland no matter what LeBron does.

So you partied with wade 2 night ago?

You had all these guys drop their contracts?

It's so self absorbed.

Awesome player. Gave us a hell of a ride. It was amazing.

But wow. Grade A douche of a person. Or just a weirdo.

Seriously tho, Lebron seems to **** up this free agency thing everytime. Either him or his people keep giving mixed messages, its such a PR fail

I'm more interested in watching LeBron lose, which will certainly happen with that young inexperienced roster. Can't wait to see LeBron pass out of a game winning shot in a huge game to one of those inexperienced kids.

Zeller is an "okay" NBA backup. i'm not sure anyone freaking out has actually seen him play. it gives the caves cap flexibility. you can find a tyler zeller in every single nba draft. wtf am i reading

Right now it does not. However Cavs wanted to trade the #1 pick for Love and Love said he would not resign there. Well you have to think if James signs with the Cavs then Love will change is tune.

A Love/Wiggins trade could be in the works.

Yea', you'd think he would've learned his lesson in 2010. Apparently not...

If Wade forgives him then I guess we can too.

Gonna disown Ray Allen as well if/when he piggy backs.

there were lots of teams with max space in 2010. there were lots of bitter fans afterward :lol:

if he chooses to leave then he chooses to leave. they failed him for 7 years. they've continued to fail for the last 4 years. their owner and their fans have treated him like crap since he left. if he thinks that is a better option, then I'd say he belongs in Cleveland with the rest of those people :lol:

thanks for the last 4 years and we'll move on with flexibility for next year or even signing Melo this year :lol:

Um ok...

I've never shown any animosity towards Heat fans, and Wade's been one of my favorite players I've seen play this game (from 08-12).

If he stays in Miami itll be that "he told cleveland he was coming and they had to trade assets to make space" and if he leaves it'll be "he told bosh and wade to opt out to keep the big 3 together". I don't envy whoever does his PR.

At least things will go back to normal in Miami when he leaves. He can take the bandwagon lower bowl and botox fake fans with him. Give me an old school, grind it out heat team over this ego driven, narcissistic Lebron led team.

A lot of crying in this thread, yet again.

Any little tweet or rumor is able to set a lot of you off into this roller coaster of embarrassment called emotions.

Lebron hasn't signed for anyone yet.

I think the ONLY WAY THE HEAT CAN KEEP LEBRON is if they SIGN MELO.
