Cavs/Lakers/Magic trade rumor looks like it exists only to troll nba fans. Just take Houston's soul and get it over with.
 
Just realized he looks like an Engineer

That deal only makes sense for the Lakers and Cavs.


The magic get fucked unless they get Kyrie (lolno).

Thompson is meh. Waiters is an unknown ATM. and the Picks will be useless.

So of course, Henny gotta do it.

Cavs have a shit load of picks, also Orlando get to shed salary. That's all they ever wanted anyway.

The saga continues. The Rockets did not deliver the Lin offer sheet, after all. Imagining a PI in a trench coat staking out Tao.
 
What kind of picks do they have?

2013 first round draft pick from Miami
Miami's own 2013 1st round draft pick to Cleveland (top-10 protected in the 2013 Draft, top-10 protected in 2014, and unprotected in the 2015 Draft.) [Cleveland - Miami, 7/9/2010]

2013 first round draft pick from Sacramento
Sacramento's own 2013 first round draft pick to Cleveland (top-13 protected in 2013, top-12 protected in 2014, top-10 protected in 2015, top-10 protected in 2016 and top-10 protected in the 2017 Draft) If Cleveland has not received a first round pick from Sacramento by 2017, then Sacramento shall convey their own 2017 2nd round draft pick to Cleveland provided it is within the top-55 picks. If it is not, then Sacramento's obligation to Cleveland shall be extinguished. (Cleveland-Sacramento, 6/30/2011)

2013 first round draft pick from L.A. Lakers
Cleveland has the right to swap the least favorable of their own 2013 1st round pick, Miami's own 2013 1st round pick (top-10 protected) and Sacramento's own 2013 1st round pick (top-13 protected) with the L.A. Lakers own 2013 first round pick (top-14 protected). If the L.A. Lakers own 2013 first round pick is #1-#14, then the L.A. Lakers' obligation to Cleveland shall be extinguished. [Cleveland-L.A. Lakers, 3/15/2012]

2013 second round draft pick from Orlando
Orlando's own 2013 2nd round pick to Cleveland. [Cleveland - Orlando, 6/23/2011]

2014 second round draft pick from Orlando
Orlando's own 2014 2nd round pick to Cleveland. [Cleveland - Orlando, 6/23/2011]

2015 first round draft pick from Miami
Miami's own 1st round draft pick to Cleveland in the "First Allowable Draft" (top 10 protected until the 2017 draft at which it will be unprotected in the 2017 draft). The First Allowable draft shall be the draft that occurs two years following the year in which Miami satisfies its first obligation to convey a future first round draft pick to the Cleveland Cavaliers. [Cleveland - Miami, 7/9/2010]

This is the only actual worth anything pick they have besides their own. Until we know what contracts and players HOU is offering, it's hard to compare them. Clearly HOU isn't offering what ORL wants or it would be done by now

They may be using the Lakers/Cavs as leverage for Houston yo up their offer.

LeBron loves his girlfriend. There is no other woman in the world he’d rather have. The problem is, Dwyane’s not a woman.

Been told by several trusted sources now that talks between Lakers, Cavs & Magic are real. "Cavs, as usual, being a big pain," said one. But they want assurances Bynum would sign extension before even thinking about it.
Jason Lloyd
To clarify an earlier tweet, obviously it depends where Bynum goes. #Cavs wouldn't get Bynum and draft picks, too. Will reserve any other thoughts on deal until I have more information. Haven't confirmed yet how far along this really is, if at all.

Another downside of getting Dwight is that any rings Kobe gets after people are gonna be like "he had DWIGHT HOWARD and STEVE NASH bro! Who did MJ have? Luc Longley and Steve Kerr?!"... those type of statements. Don't need Dwight, stick with this core Mitch.

Who cares? Only internet mouth breathing trolls get into that kind of shit.

Why the fuck does a Laker fan care more about this over titles?

Stop posting nonsense. Please.

How much did the Heat really improve? Think about it. Rashard Lewis isn't even worth mentioning, he's that bad now. So they got Ray Allen, a really nice pick-up but odds are he'll be injured and who knows how that'll work out sharing shots between 4 guys like that, it's not a guarantee.

Steve Nash on the other hand is one of the biggest gets ever. He's team-changing, he's got such a huge impact on your team. It's no comparison IMO (in terms of improvements in the off-season), Lakers are a better team now. They probably would've took the heat to 6 or 7 games last year and that's without Nash.

Your bench still fucking sucks.
