leBron to clips?

That's just a rumor right now and would depend a lot on whether or not Wade and Bosh return and whether or not they win another championship this year. I'd say there's about a 5% chance of it happening, but that's higher than most other teams aside from Miami.

lebron to pacers.

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

Outside of Kyrie their roster is loaded with a bunch of marginal prospects on rookie contracts. Not a lot of trade value there.

Bring Bennett back home to White Vegas. I guarantee you he already knows where all the killer jerk chicken places are.

Can't believe The Cavs get another lottery pick.

I still say the NBA needs to change their draft/lottery rules because of shitty organizations like the Cavs. Put the Cavs in the back of the lottery automatically. Give them the 16th pick.

 

[Future PhaZe]

The Cleveland Cavaliers fired Chris Grant on Thursday and elevated David Griffin to interim general manager.

Sources say the Cavaliers have done background checking on Mark Hughes, who is currently director of pro personnel of the New York Knicks.

Jeff Weltman, who is currently with the Toronto Raptors, is also expected to receive interest.

Gary Sacks is also an under-the-radar possibility. Sacks is currently general manager of the Los Angeles Clippers, but Doc Rivers has final say on personnel moves.

Chris Wallace, Glen Grunwald and Jeff Bower are also available candidates with previous GM experience.

i am so sorry cavs age

I'm still shocked to this day that the Cavs took Bennett over Noel

Oh yea, we signed Shawne Williams to a 10 day.

We play the 6ers on Friday, shout out to the world's saddest 76ers fan who can't be with us.

They should also have to roll an apology film to to attendees before every home game.

Otto Porter was the pick. Don't be silly.

I feel terrible for Cleveland.

They lucked into one of the greatest players of all time (a local kid, no less), then after he left, they lucked into two #1 picks, plus a #3 and a #4, and they fucked it all up because of a terrible GM (and terrible ownership that put him in place).

Don't forget that they had a great chance, perhaps the best of all teams, to get that all-time great back this offseason and have now screwed that up, too.

Imagine Kyrie/Lebron/Drummond with multiple #assets to add veterans that fit around them.

USA Today - Kyle Lowry is Called for the Worst Offensive Foul Ever

The tech after is almost as bad. Seriously, how does that ref not get investigated after that bullshit? It's not even possible that that's "just a mistake."

Wow. That's gotta be a payback call for something lowry or the raptors did to that ref. What a great shot, too.

 

[diehard]

hmm what a dandy of a lineup we got for tnt games tonight

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

Wow. That's gotta be a payback call for something lowry or the raptors did to that ref. What a great shot, too.

It's stuff like this that reminds me this league is one step removed from the WWE at times. Even if it's "payback," how do you make that call there? Not only is the call insane, but they blow the whistle after the shot goes in? And then they toss him with a tech over literally moving away from the play and not even looking at the ref or doing anything?

I lost count of all the times to refs have screwed the Raptors last few years. But my god, this is just sad. Raptors were losing by 20 I think when I last checked. For it to end because of this sad.

He called him for the right foot coming out. It's a bad or terrible call, but at least I can see why he did it. What a moment, And 1 three pointer down by six points. Holy shit the stones on this guy.

Or, the ref bet on the Kings. I'm sure Tim Donaghy sat back and laughed.

Eh, i'm indifferent on the call. His legs certainly kick forward, were they kicked OUT? Ehhhhhhhh

But the tech after it is certainly legitimate, guys get t'd up for that all the time.

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

Nah man, that's crazy. Look at how far his legs get out before the defender rams into him - not very.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

The call isn't other worldly. I can definitely see how the ref thought that he kicked his legs out but it could have been either way.

The tech though is normal, even LeBron gets T'd up when he runs away from the ref.

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

You people are insane.

For reference, here is the image on the Wikipedia entry for "fadeaway jump shot"

That's like some Mortal Kombat shit compared to Lowry's jumper. Retroactive 4 season suspension for Kobe imo.

 

[LegendofJoe]

Can't believe The Cavs get another lottery pick.

for a second I thought you were saying someone was crazy enough to trade the Cavs their lottery pick, but naw they're getting it the old fashioned way.

 

[ratcliffja]

Lowry should have been suspended 10 games for that stunt. What a jerk.

Edit: I don't know what's worse: the Knicks constantly trading away all their draft picks only to trade for washed up or overrated players, or the Cavs keeping all their picks and then some and managing to waste them all.

 

[snack]

That is how Lowry shoots the ball. He didn't kick out. That's his normal jumper.

That's basically how i treat the event.

It could've just as easily been a no call, but we'd be here debating if it should have been an and1 or 3FT's or w/e.

 

[LuchaShaq]

Should he really be doing all of that though? Seems a bit much but he's gonna get plenty of shine

I'd be concerned about fatigue coming out of the break

Honestly probably takes more effort in one real game than all that crap combined.

I'm still shocked to this day that the Cavs took Bennett over Noel

i'm still shocked they took tristan over kanter.

 

[LuchaShaq]

You know what? At least he cares, and at least he has a general idea of what to do (surrounded Lebron with the best vets they could find, then tried to rebuild through the draft when he ditched them). Danny Ferry wasn't a terrible hire either..

WHAT noooo.

That's why his supporting cast was always trash and he left. If they kept boozer around and/or made even a couple of decent picks they could've had a ring.

The best player he ever had next to him in Cleveland was the rotting corpse of shaq.

Would lebron have rings or at least stayed in Ohio if they drafted josh smith/big al over luje Jackson? Or taken danny granger the next year instead of losing the pick in a shit trade.

Ever year they either drafted like shit and used cap space for over the hill overrated overpaid vets.

The only way they could have done worse is if they hired Isaiah Thomas.

 

[K.Jack]

In the end, Chris Grant was a guy who thought he was smarter than everyone else. He legitimately thought that each player he reached for was going to play so well that they'd make him look like a genius. But history will shows him as one of the worst GMs the game has seen.

Fuck that guy.

 

[Colonel Nasty]

T Jones is getting lowballed

Grant Hills team will win.

i'm still shocked they took tristan over kanter.

Kanter was selected third, Tristan was selected fourth, so Kanter wasn't available for them to select

THardJr. got a shot to win that MVP rookie game, and he going with his former backcourt mate.

 

[The Frankman]

The Blind Draw is 3 centers and Dion Waiters. JESUS.

 

[LuchaShaq]

If LeBron returned to save Cleveland the marketing would be unreal

I have to admit I'd respect him a lot.

Opposite here would lose all respect for lebron if he went back.

You left because the organization was a shit show, and you're going bsck when they've proven to be just as incompetent as before? If their core was kyrie/oladipo/drummond/Tristan plus a real coach ? Sure.

Going to that shit show? Would be the NBA equivalent of getting back with your cheating abusive ex just because you met when you were young. He might as well retire or go play in China for 50 mil.
