They're still a few years and another piece or two away from being really good but I could see them being the 6th seed. Maybe 5 if the Clippers lose everyone.

I think the Wolves depend entirely on how soon KAT makes the leap. He finished the season awfully nice. Might come sooner than you think.

I'd prefer to lock Blake up for a few years if there is no extension for PG13.
IT/Smart
Bradley/Brown/Rozier
Jae/Brown/Tatum
Griffen/Zizac
Horford/Zizac
Oly is going to get a stupid contract from someone, so they will need to find another big that can rebound, maybe Hibert/Hawes? Not sure if either can still jump enough to get a rebound/dunk/ 5 foot jumper.
If healthy, that could be a pretty competitive roster with good role players off the bench.

Signing Griffin and Hibbert in 2017 will cause me to drink.

The west is so damn stacked. How are gonna make room for the Nuggets and Twolves? I think OKC could be in trouble next year.
Need 1-16 format please.
Need 1-16 format please.

Word is Thibs pecking order is;
1.CP3
2. Lowry
3. George Hill

The wovles won't go anywhere unless Towns improves defensively and currently he's pretty bad.
Also I have no idea why everyone wants to get rid of Rubio all of the sudden. If he continues to play like he did past ASB, then he's a keeper.

Hibbert will only play a few mins a night. Cheap bench solution to put his arm up and get a couple rebounds a game, a.k.a, a quarter priced Zeller. It also doesn't have to be him, just anyone tall that can rebound, lol

Wouldn't it be much easier to just kick me right in the balls instead?

Well, I'm sure you live close enough, but I work 2 jobs and don't have time. Maybe next week when I'm on vaca from both...
Regardless of what they do, they will still lack a superstar that can carry them.
Give Zeller Evan Turner money max KO and call it an offseason.
wait i thought you loved IT? Not trying to sound sarcastic, I legimitately thought you were all about him.
I've never said to max IT.
ahhh i see. Hopefully we don't, but it doesn't look great.
If they whiff on Hayward Blake or George it's coming by default though...
Would never even consider less than max. He's already said get ready to "back up the brinks truck"

I wonder if a team would. He's been terrific these last two years, but with his size and age would a team be willing to max him out?

Process the Trust, Go Cav.
Edit: word is that love removed most of his Cavs stuff from twitter 🤔🤔🤔 can't personally speak on it because I don't remember what it looked like before

Kevin love was a big reason why they made it to the finals. Rebounds and scoring. Better than last year

Looks like fake news. I haven't seen anyone on Twitter talking about it.
I think he's being a bit underrated by some teams. He's not amazing, but he's probably a top 30 player who can really help.

The moment they traded the 1st pick I knew they were going to max IT.
was this posted? NBA 2k rejected the Jimmy Butler trade lol

Yes, remove him from the Cavs and it makes Tristan even more useless since he'd be their only offensive rebouding threat. I don't like this trade for the Cavs, Paul George wants to be a Celtics legend anyway.

Wade

I mean I'd like to see it just for the fuckery. The only problem is that people will despise LeBron for making this brand new super team ignoring the fact that Wade and Carmelo probably do very little to make the Cavs a better team. But hey! Just because they are old and past their prime, they definitely know the game and if they are best buds with amazing chemistry then who knows. I don't think it hurts your chances of beating the Warriors. It just doesn't help as much as the public will pretend it does.

That team still gets starched by Golden st. Love actually played really well in the Finals and they still got waxed.
bulls fans?
Melo and Wade helps their offensive drop off when LeBron sits. It gives them far more lineup options.

I agree. It'd make things interesting. Especially if they saved themselves in the regular season and only played enough to get a feel for eachother.
But Golden State could just run them up and down the floor.
Still no denying that Wade/Anthony>>JR/Shumpert

If they get Melo but not George, that's going to be an issue for their starting lineup. I can't imagine them benching Love or Melo because of their egos, so you'd have a starting lineup of Irving/Wade/James/Anthony/Love. Who plays defense in that lineup?

Windy on radio said he dosent know who the favorite for George is, but he did say it definitely isn't the Cavs
LeBron at center. Tristan to the bench.
