Wizards have their entire future riding on Wall/Beal/Porter. You might say "yeah those are three good to great players", but they don't have any assets or cap space to get anyone else. They will never win a championship and it's doubtful they'll ever even contend for a title. They're a HoF treadmill team.

If Kyrie gets traded we all agree that LeBron is going to try and drop like 80 points on that team when he plays then right? Especially if he goes somewhere mediocre.

They're the new Raptors, but there are much worse things to be than the Raptors.

The East is wide open, they can break through one year
 
Celtics have a Morris so now the other Morris won't be a problem
Ainge gonna do it.
Stevens x Hayward gonna finish the fight


The end of Cleveland sports is upon us :D
 
Not to start any rumors, but LeBron is in Charlotte this weekend, watching his sons play basketball.

Just imagine this

The Celtics come back from 3-0 to beat the Warriors in the 2018 Finals
The Bruins win the Stanley Cup
The Red Sox come back from 3-0 in every playoff series and in the World Series against the Dodgers and win
Touchdown Tom defeats the Eli Giants in Super Bowl 52 to finally overcome the man he couldn't, and retires

Ainge is doing it!

It seems the only place LeBron hasn't visited this off season... is Indiana. Is this a clue? Does this mean what I think it means??

Pacers fucked

Here's a quote from a piece from The Ringer:

“Irving’s situation is a repeat of history, like Shaq and Kobe, or Shaq and Penny, or Barkley and Pippen,” said one longtime NBA executive. “It’s two big stars fighting for the limelight.”

I don't remember problems between Penny & Shaq or Barkley & Pippen. Were those well-known feuds? I

Pippen went off on Barkley publicly after he was traded from Hou to Portland. Sometime to the effect of "his lazy ass will never win anything, now I know why Mike told me never to play with his fat butt"

Yeah Pippen made Barkley responsible for the Rockets failure in their lone season together and requested a trade.

I'm reading a conspiracy on r/NBA that LeBron's camp actually leaked this to Windhorst in order to set the idea that LeBron will leave in free agency because the Cavs situation is a clusterfuck, it's not his fault, his teammates wanted to bail on him first, etc.

god i love it

EDIT: SAS said Kyrie has wanted out for weeks, Tim McMahon said he gave them notice about it before the Draft

Sounds plausible.

Lebron tells Kyrie he is leaving next year. Kyrie doesn't want to be in Cleveland without Lebron and asks for a trade. Lebron then blames his own departure on the Cavs falling apart withouy Kyrie. Its brilliant.

If true Lebron's PR team has certainly come a long way from the group that thought that "The Decision" was a good idea.

It's pretty damn obvious LeBron wants to play with Lonzo

there was literally 0% reason for him to watch the Lakers Philly SL game. He skipped on the ESPY's to watch that?

yeah nah

Bron is coming to LA baby
