Cavs vs Hawks

Starts Tuesday

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Let's go eastern teams! This wcf was the worst case scenario for me.

 

[magnifier661]

Come on Jinxspeed... Let's not gloat this series. I don't want the Rockets to reach the finals

I think they're going to make some major changes to the Clippers this summer. That team simply isn't going to do it.

I think they will package Hawes/Crawford/Barnes for an aging vet. Joe Johnson maybe?

Definitely. They really only have 3 guys worth keeping. To do as well as they did with what they have is a testament to cP3. (Whom I can't stand, but respect. )

They need a starting SG and SF.

I could see them making a play for Afflalo. But I really think they need to move Griffin. I don't see him as a guy who can lead a team. If CP3 is Stockton, Griffin is most definitely NOT Malone. I really do wonder if they added Aldridge if that team wouldn't become a championship caliber team.

I think if the LA and Blake swap was made, both teams would get better offensively.

You might be right, but I have my doubts that Griffin would be happy here. How much longer is his contract?

Three more seasons.

 

[Natebishop3]

Three more seasons.

I don't know if it's worth it. I think he'd leave. Plus, I think LA has the kind of game that will be effective into his mid 30's. So I think we'll get full value for this contract this summer.

I want LA on the 5/109, if he wants the one year deal, I'm not down with it.

It would definitely help our/his championship chances to take that deal.

It's actually pretty funny when i read all the comments about Aldridge leaving for Dallas or San Antonio. I also hear there is talk of Aldridge going to the Clippers for Blake Griffin but you never hear anyone say Blake might go to the Spurs or the Mavs? Just thinking aloud...

Why is there even so much talk that LMA is leaving for this and that? We had ONE FREAKING HEALTHY PLAYOFF RUN DURING THE LMA/DAME ERA

Marc Gasol and his team had God knows how many years?

Cp3 and Blake and his core had God knows how many years?

Durant and Westbrook and his core had God knows many years?

LMA and Dame literally has had ONLY one true healthy year in the playoffs together.

Look at Houston. The Harden Howard tandem had only two years together and already their in the conference finals.

All I'm saying is if LMA leaves I really question his loyalty he had because that would be some bs to leave so early in Dames prime. He could have atleast told us during the trade deadline to get something for him if he didn't want to give that tandem more than one true healthy year with Dame.

Honestly...Isn't $109 million enough money?

Blake is under contract, if it was a contract year, maybe noise of him going to OKC or Dallas would happen.

Also I doubt Blake can be that mad, he has played more 9 more playoff games than LA already in half the amount of seasons.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

It should be, but he could end up with 5 years of 160 million next summer.

Well, one of those guys is an unrestricted free agent, and one isn't, so there you go.

Well go on over to a Clipper thread right about now and you will hear quite a few people talking about trading for Durant.

 

[kjironman1]

I think the number is closer to $130 mil but yes. It would be more money. The question was "isn't $109 million enough".

Most every scenario that people are talking about have him in a sign and trade so he gets his money. So not really...;.

Not really? Aldridge is a free agent. Thus hearing about different places he can realistically go if he chooses. Blake is not a free agent. It's pretty simple.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

It's rumored players like LA could make like 30m per season next year if they do a one year deal this summer. So, probably 150-160 total.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Why are you girls talking about LMA in the conference finals thread?

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

The Rockets advance.

The JinxSpeed is for real.

Because a moderator said this...

Then the can of worms was opened....
