Shouldn't we fix our culture before we fix our team?

- asking for Canzano

 

[Hobbesarable]

Lebron to be named Player/GM in 3... 2... 1...

Isn't he already Player/Coach/GM?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

What's valet parking like in Cleveland?

- asking for ...

 

[BonesJones]

Seems tougher to pull off a blockbuster when your existing GM is about to get let go.

What the fuck is this timing? LMAO.

So they've been linked to discussions for Paul George.
Then, a report comes out in the morning that they're after Jimmy Butler.
And then a report comes out in the afternoon that they've let go of their GM. What???

I want to laugh at most of his stuff, but then I think about his hot wife. How in the world did the Clown marry such a beautiful woman?

 

[TBpup]

Lebron to be re-named defacto Player/GM in 3... 2... 1...

FTFY

She had a lazy eye thing going on that was fixed after they got married.

This off season is now officially the wackiest ever.

New rumor out Mrs. LeBron James wants to live in LA full time.
Now there is speculation the King is going to be a Faker or Clipper.
Maybe this is the reason the Cavs GM is being fired? He can’t keep the Queen happy, which makes for a grumpy King.

 

[Binx]

Oh, good, another Superteam in Cleveland.

 

[Nate]

Kyrie
Butler
George
Lebron
Thompson

I wanna see it.

 

[ripcityboy]

What the fuck is Gilbert doing to his team? How did Griffin fuck that situation up? He made that team as good as it could be this year! What a Dolan-esque moron!

 

[Blazers Roy]

We need to swoop on Butler.

Close you eyes
Clear your mind
Concentrate

Do all these things and you will begin to hear Neil's voice in your mind.
He will talk about how unrealistic it is for us to get Butler at this point in time and how close we are to actually developing Pat Connaughton into at 100 million dollars player.

Woj suggested something about teams not engaging Cleveland as much in trade talks because of their uncertainty in the front office.

That reminds me I saw Chris Bosh and his wife last week at a fitness club in West LA. They were getting the tour. l knew he lived close by during the summers. I wonder if the wives are still good friends. Apparently Chris is still holding out hope for a return to the NBA........

 

[PDXFonz]

Bulls fans are hoping that means Devin Booker, but I think that's more likely to mean the #4 pick.

I agree, not a chance Phoenix is moving Booker.

Seems like a good time to call them to me. Take advantage of the situation. Assuming they answer the phone.

 

[ripcityboy]

The lack of talent in the league combined with this unrelenting desire to acquire players any way possible makes fans and (even some execs) desperate. In fact, I don't think oxygen reaches peoples' brains when they consider half the rumors out there.

 

[Minstrel]

 

[Blazers Roy]

That's actually no that rare.
Off the top of my head: both Curry and CJ were born in Ohio.

 

[BonesJones]

Why don't we trade for him? I'd give up all 3 picks and Crabbe as a starting offer.

 

[Blazers Roy]

I know it's blasphemy to even suggest such a thing, but wouldn't you say that if we get Butler and then trade Lillard for John Wall then we'd become better equipped to handle Warriors?

No. Our outside shooting would be shit.

 

[Blazers Roy]

No. Our outside shooting would be shit.

So losing Dame alone will ruin our outside shooting?
It should be taken into consideration that we would also lose some of Lillard's ill-advised shots in the process.

Wall and Butler would be our backcourt. Neither are great shooters.

 

[Denny Crane]

The Celtics are clearly in the mix to get Butler, too. They've been after him since at least last trade deadline.

 

[Scalma]

Considering we only have three good shooters, yes.

 

[Sarni]

Crowder + #3 this year + Smart could be tempting for Chicago. Crowder + #3 + future Lakers/Kings pick should almost certainly get this done. Hell, even Crowder + #3 is something Chicago should consider at this point and go for a rebuild.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I still think Butler, not George, is the guy we should be going after. Maybe not as good a fit because he is a guard, but the contract situation and I also think he will blend in better, he deferred a lot to Wade (too much?) and George seems to really want to be "the man".

From what I've read, the Crowder (or someone like him) + #3 + future Lakers pick is what's being considered.

 

[BBert]

Oh, good, another Superteam in Cleveland.

Or Lebron and PG go to LA.

Fuck the NBA
