Welp if he goes there he takes a huge paycut to like $3MM so that would mean Miami never stood a chance.

I suspect Wade will re-sign with Miami...end of day, money talks. I doubt he's going to be leaving that much on the table.

Depends on other west teams move. That conference is too volatile. Plus Cleveland could get back but let's see what happens with Love when he opts out. Maybe they'll get the pieces to get over the top.

I think Wade is leaving. Love opted out. Aldridge supposedly said he is not coming back to portland.

All this talk about DMC is having me wonder........ Living in Sacramento it's the number 1 thing everyone is talking about...

Discuss....

Clarkson, Randle and draft pick for Cousins???

Lakers will be stupid to get rid of Clarkson.

Interesting. Lakers went Russell over Okafor. Forever a comparison.
Loved the Justice pick for Miami at 10. Many say a steal
at NY fans' reaction to Kristaps. They say he's good but in a couple of years.
Cauley-Stein likely to replace Cousins

I found it amusing that the Bulls' pick, Portis, was a big-time hater of Chicago...per his Tweets...and now, oops.

Looks like Lebron is opting out as expected. Wade has until midnight.

But Lebron is going to re-sign with Cleveland, right?

Of course. The question is how. He will def do a 1 year to take advantage of next year's higher cap. However does he sign a long term or another short deal next year to keep the pressure on Cavs mgmt to pay Tristan, the luxury tax, and acquire talent at his liking.

The LA press are reporting that Jimahay Butler is thinking of signing a 1-year max offer from LA? Um...even if that happens, and is unlikely, the Bulls will match.

I was reading an article it's unlikely because of some clause that Chicago can exercise. Basically he would have to sign a 3 year deal with no options.

Did Aldridge go to the Spurs yet? I heard LA's pitch was meh. Splitter got dealt to ATL for space and they re-signed Leonard and Green.

Heat keep Dragic at a discount. Wade likely to get paid.

Shumpert got 4/$40MM to stay
Draymond staying 5/$82MM
Pierce to the Clips for 3 years/$10MM
And West said the rumors about him going to the Knicks are ridiculous; he wants to be with a contender; the Knicks don't qualify.

This place is dead. Aldridge signed with the Spurs and they got David West for the minimum. After taxes I think he sacrificed $6-8MM.
David Lee traded to the Celtics for Gerald Wallace.



This bromance has gone too far. These guys seriously give no fucks.

Where a player changes his mind after verbally agreeing to a deal? I believe it has happened before.

I read about how Denver staff and NIck Van Exel kept Jason Kidd and some Suns out of the Denver arena during an Avalanche game so that they could sign Antonio McDyess. Kind of the opposite but still strange since apparently Cuban and Dallas staff were left out.

Well, at least these transgressions did not affect the outcome of a game like deflating balls or video-taping.

2 years and 3 lawyers later. And why a lawsuit and not criminal charges? I couldn't read the Deadspin article so I quickly googled and found Bleacher Report which may have had less.
