    Sending kyrie back to cleveland and away from his whitey wonderland will cause a riot in clevelands locker room.

    sending i.t. and crowder(who has been mad sensitive about trade rumors) back to boston would ruin any potential chemistry

    So the cavs will have to void the deal and take a lesser offer(like the bucks offer) or accept the deal.It's about the future which will be post lebron which is why the nets pick and a cheap value contract in crowder and a young player in zizic makes the most sense.C's may have to add another pick,I'd be shocked if the deal is voided.Cavs were aware of i.t.'s hip injury/rehab before the deal,the trade isn't about him he will be able to play it's about the other pieces.

    But the teams are discussing the deal now since they feel IT will miss significant time. As long as we don't get rid of Tatum I'm cool

    I feel Tatum will be better long term. If you give him a choice I think he'd trade brown before tatum

    These last few pages have been funny as ? . LMAO.

    I'm surprised nobody else offered Nerlens Noel a deal. I can understand early in free agency because teams didn't want to tie up money and time into a player that their initial team will most likely contract match but now.........

    is the perfect time to try and get the guy. I mean he has his limitations but he is still young and can guard the rim and pick & roll well. Why not give the guy a shot?

    $4mil seemed attainable smh, turning down $17.5 million to bet on yourself is risky as hell. He better average 17/10/3 if he wants a max. I don't think he's capable of that. His market is Tristan Thompson but he steals and alters shots better

    Noel was a restricted free agent he couldn't sign with the celtics for 4.1 million.

    It was either take the qo,sign the offer from the mavs or sign an offer from another team and the mavs match.Those were his options

    There was just no market for noel apparently guess he held out to make sure he gets the most. Mavs kept him for cheap for a year. Noel will be cool but he needs the actual mins. I heard the Mavs worried about having him at C while dirk plays the 4 and iirc Noel is bafter as a PF so speculation was surrounding if he'll accept a role off the bench.



    I think him at C is fine since dirk is dirk though. Noel needs 28-30 mins though

    Should have had surgery from jump

    Doctors said he didn't need it.Rehab & rest is what they recommended

    Yeah I know, they the experts, but when something torn, that just never seems like enough. I thought he was gonna easily aggravate it from the first time I heard that

    the thibs criticism was my favorite part of this article

    twolves made a great trade and then proceeded to sign jeff teague and taj gibson — taj has no offensive game outside of the lane — hes the type of player who kills your spacing on offense and the wolves already are going to struggle with that

    teague is a decent starting pg -- nothing more/nothing less and at 28 he is what he is — no real upside there — a slight upgrade over rubio offensively and a downgrade defensively — i think there were better pg options out there and the wolves should have aimed higher — this was their last offseason where they are going to have plenty of cap room before they start locking in wiggins and towns

    towns might be their most consistent returning 3 point shooter

    teague 35%
    wiggins 35%
    butler 36%
    towns 36%

    i see towns being asked to hang out more around the 3pt line and sacrifice opportunities down low to create space

    the twolves obviously got better but im not convinced it gets them anywhere better than a 6-8 seed in the west
