I actually had 2 people PM me over the past 3 days asking me if Ray-Ray was Coro.

Hahaha, I was honestly joking around but that's awesome.

What are the chances that we can send Bledsoe, Plumlee or Len and Ennis and our unprotected 1st next year and the TWolves pick to CLE for Wiggins?

They need a starting caliber guard who plays D in Bledsoe and a backup to replace Jack in Ennis.

Hell I'll even take any bad contract that the Cavs wanna dump.

They don't even need a pg. No one is trading Wiggins for crap. For Love, maybe.

On the Gambo thing, I guess that would be funny if he was ray ray and leaking stuff before he was "allowed to" to us and he was being protected.

I haven't listened to Gambo in a long while, so I don't know what he is like these days. I just remember after Phil Weber told me they wanted Amare in the draft, Gambo was saying on the radio they would be stupid not to take Jared Jeffries....and I kind of came to the conclusion that he had no idea...but obviously that was a LONG time ago...even before Sarver.

The points above are another reason I like Monroe. He's not as athletic as prime Amare, but he does have a face up game, has a decent 10-15 foot jumper, and unlike many guys today, he also has a back to the basket game. If his jumper becomes more consistent (like Amare's did), then he could really explode in our system.

One more thing I thought of:

Do Pat Reilly and Lebron James have have the "ice box" heart needed to take Dwyane Wade out behind the shed and shoot him in the head?

-Wade out
-Lebron, Bosh, Carmello all split the cap room.

Then crippled wade is forced out of his own team. LOL.

It honestly would be the best move Miami could make given his decline in play and limited minutes. But it would be a cold blooded thing to do given how loyal Wade has been to Miami.

But see, LeBron thinks of Bledsoe as more than just "crap". Their BFFs as if their agent. If Bledsoe came to CLE too, then the 3 best friends that anyone can have can all just order up some hookers every Friday night and kick it and relax in LeBron's mansion.

Plus again, which guard is gonna play defense on that team? Irving? Waiters?

A young C might also be nice to have considering Varejou is getting old and not exactly reliable.

Thing is, it makes the most sense. Who would give Wade more then 8-10 mil a year for 2-3 years given his decline in health? Next year he is really due to hit the wall.

That would be somewhat unbelievable if they pushed Wade out and signed Melo, LeBron and Bosh. It would be smart though.

I wonder what Wade's market would be like.

Revived · Post #1412 » by **Revived** » Thu Jul 10, 2014 5:43 am

This such an incredibly boring off season. Its similar to the Finals.

All these girls are waiting to see what the other person is going to do first. Ariza waiting on Deng waiting on Hayward waiting on Parsons waiting on Bosh waiting on Melo waiting on LeBron.

Only UFA that's worth a damn that's not waiting and is still unsigned is Wade.

We currently are at 30.4 which includes all of our rookies factored in.

If we sign Bledsoe for $15M per year and Tucker for $5M per year we are still $6.3M short of the minimum. I doubt that Bledsoe and Tucker will cost us the $20M that I project but I would not be surprised if they do either.

I wouldn't worry about that. There's no real penalty for not reaching the salary floor and we are still paying $7.3M to Childress

Revived · Post #1414 » by **Revived** » Thu Jul 10, 2014 5:54 am

Sign Ed Davis and Brandon Rush. Let Tucker leave when he gets that fat $5M+ offer from some dumbass team.

Bledsoe, Ennis
Dragic, Goodwin
Rush, Warren/Marcus
Kieff, Davis
Plumlee, Len

Credit to BWGOOD for reminding me of Rush.

Their already selling on the shelves in Cleveland.

That 5 will get out rebounded every game without tucker and the defense...

predicting what the Suns will do right now is useless...all I know is that beyond the initial reports that we met with James' agent in Cleveland we have heard NOTHING...Suns are being quiet...almost...too quiet

Kieff is a better rebounder than Frye and he is still developing so hopefully that make up for missing Tucker along with Plumlee learning a thing or two from year 1 and being a better rebounder this year.

Rush is about as good a defender as Tucker so we won't lose much there.

Why do people keep saying this?

I have heard like a million times now.

Ooooo you know the Suns are gonna make a move cause their "too quiet". WTF does that even mean, I don't understand.

Which team is "loud"?

Rush is 29 and injury prone. In his best season he wasn't better than Marcus last year (LINK) and was completely useless last season in Utah.
