    Why not think about moving Kyrie to the two spot and let him play his natural position. He ain't no pg imo. The question is can he take the punishment on the defensive end by other 2 guards.

    Then go get a pass first defensive pg.

    Dont really matter cause Bron is the pg anyway. They need to someone else who can create their own shot. Bron cant score off the ball, kyrie already getting his, they need someone else who can get them 20+ without involving Bron.

    My team needs to make some moves to at least try to be competitive to tide us over until we own our draft picks again.

    The Blazers have first round picks available to teams who are willing to assist them in cap relief. The Nets should jump on that. Eat Evan Turners contract in order to get the 20th pick. Swing for the fences with your three firsts or package one or two of them + Lopez to move up into the lottery. Lucky for you they own thier 2019 pick where the top 2 players look like generational talents.

    If we're trying to be "competitive" then we gotta keep Lopez, and trading for Evan Turner while giving Lopez defeats the purpose.

    Whats the point of you trying to be competitive? You should be trying to acquire as many assets as possible. Lopez is almost 30 and the closer he gets to FA the more value you lose with him in a potential trade.

    Like I said in order to get one of those Portland first round picks you would have to eat a bad contract and with your team currently stuck in the mud talking on a bad contract wouldn't hinder you much at all. By the time your ready to be "competitive" again Turners contract should be off the books.

    Because the idea of being trash just to hand over top 3 picks to the Celtics sucks. I'd rather be competitive for a year and if we miss the playoffs we'll be in the 35-39 win range, and then the following year tank and begin the rebuild.

    Dragic
    George
    Hayward
    Johnson

    So your expecting a 10 game improvement based on what exactly? and you would pass on an opportunity to add a top 20 pick in a loaded draft just to spite the Celtics? Ok you got it.

    That pretty much just says that woj says people around the league think bron might leave.

    Only thing that makes sense is the clippers and getting melo to come there. Hmm actually if wade opts out all 4 could potentially nah nvm the money wouldnt work unless that man child ballmer okay with ridiculous tax

    He's not leaving though

    Btw ? scatter like roaches when you actually talk to them about basketball

    Man IMO it's dumb AF for LeBron to leave SMMFH. Why would he do that when he owns a portion of the Cavs ? If there's any truth to it LeBron needs to chill and come up with a better strategy. You can trade Love for Paul George. I don't know if Melo would even want to play with LeBron but IF he ever made that move it'd better their chances somewhat against teams like GSW. Bron went to what 7 finals and I think 5 straight finals ? SMMFH ? pathetic man....

    If Lebron leaves 25 year old Kyrie barely in his prime he doesn't deserve a another ring
