All that goodwill from getting rid of Joe Johnson's contract would be gone.

wasn't it reported that kyrie was like the only one who hadn't started working out yet?
Rumor Season: Hawks have S&T in place with Josh Smith for PP.

There has to be one idiot GM that thinks Deng is worth it, we just need one.
Pretty please?
Sporting News says this trade is only if the Celtics can pawn off Pierce to another team to get a trade exception I think, you wouldn't be getting Pierce.

Why would the Hawks wanna take on salary? Let Smith walk somewhere else.

You may not want to hear this but...
You need to gut your team and rebuild.
If you do it quickly enough you might be able to get Wiggins.

My Barber is a B-More fan
He gets on my nerves with his overzealousness but I keep my mouth shut so he cuts my hair good.

As I reported last week, Magic are completing their predraft workouts with Cody Zeller. Zeller is working out again today.
Multiple workouts for Zeller. Take him Henny!

Over 500,000 people went to the Heat parade. Ravens drew 200,000.
Can't believe I responded to that.

Ford has the Jazz choosing between Bebe, Plumlee, and Olynyk if Burke, McCollum, and MCW don't drop.
Get Stockton in there to help with the decision.

Olynyk and Adams don't get past Philly and Oklahoma though.
I'm so sorry IWMTB.
lol
Suddenly all the dumbass rumors about Deng make sense.
Agents and FO's couldn't be more transparent. I'm not even mad at them though, it's the journalists that bite on this dumb shit that get me salty.

Do I smell a trade down with the Wolves? Ridnour, Williams, 9, and 26 for 2 and Al Harrington?
There aren't even 500,000 heat fans in Miami so that's impossible. The inauguration of our president had about a million people

this is some bad analysis right here. Kyrie and Scott are tight.
He didnt get Scott fired, please. Cavs FO just wanted to go in a different direction.

What is Ainge's obsession with Josh Smith?
Look it up. Miami may not be a good sports town, but its a really great event town.

He's "athletic"
yeah, 500,000 went to the local bars, saw the parade and left before the busses got to them. C'mon man, this is Miami, the only city that has to create commercials to ask their fans not to come late and leave early oh and to cheer at the games....
Well I'm going by the estimates, and I know my city- a parade isn't going to a game, for 2 reasons:
1-it's fucking free. It's the only chance a lot of fans can afford
2- it's an excuse to party regardless of whether you like bball
Doesn't shock me at all, don't let facts get in the way of your preconceived notions tho.

My speculation is based off of rumors about them having a rift at some point last season

If I'm wrong I'm wrong, easily could be, but guys say that sort of stuff when coaches get fired all the time when there were obvious issues between them.

You can't trust most players when they speak publicly about their coach. Dwight was lying to dozens of media members while he had his arm around his coach smiling.
Colluding with Bosh and Wade is now being presented as making a sacrifice?

No, but taking less money is.

Well, Manu has pretty much said he wants to come back. I'm...ok with this depending on the shortness of the contract and how much of a discount he wants. We need another player that can run the offense as the Finals showed us, so we can't break the bank on Manu

That's not a sacrifice. That's a guaranteed title run for a few seasons plus playoff bonuses and additional endorsements. Dude didn't sacrifice a damn thing.

Not to mention no state income tax on his 43 regular season games played in the state of Florida, plus however many they play in Texas.

+ being in Miami instead of Cleveland.
He sacrificed so much tho, I wonder if he ever regrets giving up so much!

Bulls fans, who would be better for us - Oladipo or McLemore? I've only seen them in scouting reports and highlights.
Oladipo seems like the gritty, hard-nosed type of player that fits the current makeup of the team. What he might lack in talent he makes up for in effort -- i'm becoming sick of having so many of these guys tbh.
McLemore seems closer to the opposite, but with a much bigger upside. The athleticism and potential in his shooting form is hard to pass up.
Personally, i'm ready to just roll the dice on the bigger upside.

Where do you guys think MCW will go? He seems to be linked mostly to the Mavs, but I feel like someone will take him before he drops to them.
He signed a six year $110 million dollar contract to play basketball. When he graduated from high school, before he became a professional athlete, he signed a $90 million contract with Nike. He made $56.5 million last year and was the highest earning athlete in the world. He has numerous endorsement contracts with companies like Audemars Piguet Coca-Cola, Dunkin' Brands, McDonald's, Nike, State Farm, Samsung, and others. WTF are you talking about "sacrifice?"
And he made that "sacrifice" so that both Bosh and Wade would be able to sign by making the same "sacrifice."

And like $60,000,000 guaranteed, too! How many people making 0.1% of what Lebron does in a year have even a penny guaranteed?
btw, 0.1% of what lebron made this year = $56,500. A solid income.
