Fuck Houston

 

[BBert]

Purely coincidence that both LeBron and George opted out. Nothing to see here. Move along.

 

[Scalma]

Cousins would be amazing and I’ve thought for awhile that hed be down to team up with Lillard. Problem is how do we get it done?

 

[PtldPlatypus]

If Demarcus has to take a below-market-value deal, I wouldn't be shocked to see him end up in LA too.

 

[CupWizier]

This rules out Houston.

Cleveland could still possibly do a sign and trade deal to Houston if LeBron says he wants to go there but it would be a tough deal to make.

Houston can't do S&Ts as they'll come up on the apron.

yes, but that's a choice they could make if they feel it would get them a championship. It would be very hard to make the numbers work though.

What choice? It's not possible. Cleveland won't trade Lebron to Houston to take on Ryan Anderson's contract.

I can’t see anything anyway with this piss and purple blindfold tied over my eyes.

 

[riverman]

Jamal Crawford seems to be headed to the Warriors for a minimum vet deal...ring chasers are going to follow

Besides the fact that even CLE can't do S&Ts as they are well above the apron.

Could be had for cheap I bet. Not much of an upgrade over what we have, maybe for depth.

Every team could use a little craziness on their roster, but Supercool Beas (which is apparently one of his nicknames as well as B-Easy and Walking Bucket, lol) might be a little too crazy.

 

[santeesioux]

The article mentioned he averaged 13 points per game last season, I could see that being starter at SF material at this point.

 

[riverman]

Beasley can hoop...he was good with the Knicks off the bench...guy can score in bunches...not a great defender.

 

[andalusian]

He is actually a scorer - which is not something this team has in abundance at the SF/PF position. Of course, he is a bad defender with questionable work ethic... so - the only way he is worth considering is cheaply.

 

[Scalma]

Beasley doesn’t fit the culture Olshey always goes on and on and on and on and on and on about. But I would be all for it. I think he’s underrated. PER of 20, 18,18 the last three seasons.

 

[Pinwheel1]

8 teams in 9 years. (Including 2 in china) I will say that Pat Riley brought him back twice after letting him go the first time.
He might be worth the risk. Can he pass a drug test?

I heard he's grown up since he had to go play in China....legal pot might not be a good fit but the guy is skilled and affordable...

What’s the hold up with Connaughton Jake and Napier? They’re all coming back aren’t they?

There's no hold up. They aren't coming back. Portland is setting them free.

Doubtful

another one that I would add to that is Gerald Green as he is also a scoring small forward that can create and hit the 3 point shot. At the right price he could help the team as I was hoping we would pick him up last year.

 

[Scalma]

Then why haven’t they done so yet

 

[Blazinaway]

lets hope not, don't want to see any of them back

 

[Eastoff]

The default with Jake is he gets extended. We have to renounce him.

I hope not.

Yeah and the fact the Lakers are the only team who can max two guys and lebrons kid is enrolling in HS there means nothing too, I’m with you.

ya not sure why they're delaying. Our local media on top of it as usual, smh. This forum has a better understanding and interest in learning the CBA than the guys who actually have access to the team.
