I think I have found Batum's replacement

[SlyPokerDog]

Lebron James, who turns 30 today, has no intention of compromising his prime years playing for a sputtering organization. He can opt out of his contract at the end of the season and become a free agent.

Given the massive scrutiny he would endure if he departed Cleveland a second time, if his hand is forced, I'm told he won't hesitate to make the appropriate business decision if it means bolting.

That's the only good Nic trade proposal I've heard.
Pull the trigger!

We'd have to throw in Meyers for it to be fair.

Hmmm, I dunno then...

We have talked about this before and it will NEVER happen BUT that is a ridiculous "Big 3" All 3 in their prime and one of the best at their position

Not surprising but one of the third year equivalents that Lillard's stats look like? Dwayne Wade.

What if CLE included a 2nd round pick as well?

I think this guy would be a pretty decent 4th option in our offense.

Imagine LMA carrying the 1st quarter scoring, LBJ carrying the 2nd & 3rd quarters, and Lillard closing out the game (if it's even still a game by the 4th quarter!).

 

[BBert]

I had forgotten about Haynes, and how poor his writing is.

A lineup of Lillard, Wes, James, Aldridge and Rolo would be sick. Just sick. So dominating, I might not be able to enjoy it. But I could try.

I believe you left Mr. Matthews out of your little scenario.

Well, I was just talking about primary scoring - surely LMA won't take ALL the 1st quarter shots, nor LBJ ALL the 2nd/3rd quarter shots. Wes will take three 3-pointers per quarter and average 21ppg, of course!

 

[Boise Blazer]

Another thought that comes to mind is that all the people that want Batum to develop a post game .... LeBron has one. Imagine having 3 legit low post threats? And another decent one in Rolo/Kaman. Geez, fun to play what if. And with the LeBron we would be as good if not a better defensive team. Although Batum be a more versatile defender than LBJ.

We'll just have to average 130 PPG to get everyone the shots they need!

Personally I want no part of Lebron, the decision, part III. Fact is, we are better than the Cavs with Lebron as we stand.

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Batum, Lopez and two first rounders for Lbj

 

[BlazerWookee]

If all it costs is Dorrell Wright, I'd consider it...

If I thought Freeland could hold down center...

He would split it with Kaman

They messed up bad dealing all their assets for love, and Deng prior. They didn't have to start the championship timer, could have simmered it to a boil, but no. They microwaved a marshmallow.

Chris Haynes lol. Hack

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Chris Haynes lol. Hack

How sad was it that he was the best of the Portland/Oregonian's sports "journalists" at the time?

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Speaking of total hacks, did Canzano retire or something? I haven't heard a word out of his arsehole face all season.

Only because the players actually talked to him.

He's been on a Oregon State University rape kick. Probably get a national award for it.

Now you've gone and done it.

Just don't say his name three times and we MIGHT be safe.

Geez, I know 2014 has been bad for women, but to win an award for raping at OSU?! DAMN!

Cap space plan 2015: LeBron James

Look what our old pal Chris Haynes is up to

http://www.cleveland.com/cavs/index.ssf/2014/12/its_time_for_cleveland_cavalie.html

There is immense pressure to keep The King happy.

James, who turns 30 today, has no intention of compromising his prime years playing for a sputtering organization. He can opt out of his contract at the end of the season and become a free agent.

Given the massive scrutiny he would endure if he departed Cleveland a second time, if his hand is forced, I'm told he won't hesitate to make the appropriate business decision if it means bolting.

Can Neil get it done?

LOL, I have to laugh at Cle and say it's at least fun to think/fantasize about

He won't bolt again

Re: Cap space plan 2015: LeBron James

getting Kevin Love and giving up what they did is IMO turning into a fiasco and I "love it"!
