As a Cavs fan I'd be worried

Mitchdagod has been bartering with you guys for probably over a week now.

Watch him get Bennett and D'Antoni turns him into a poor mans Kevin Love

There are 3 things certain in life. Death, taxes,and the fact that Anthony Bennett will never become a homeless man's Kevin Love.

I know a lot about Bennett. He's definitely not great, but he's not this bad.

The problem with the Cavs is that they are a bunch of try hards trying to hit this meaningless goal of making the playoffs instead of developing their pick. Tweeners have one of the biggest adjustments when it comes to going to the next level. They basically have to learn how to play all over again because the way they attack players and defend completely changes.

The kid is playing with a bunch of fuck you ima do me players between Kyrie, Waiters and Jack.Yea, he's missing open shots, but he's just got no chance to develop any kind of flow to his game when he only gets 10 minutes to do his thing with three super ball dominant guards taking up almost all of the possessions.

Just looking at the standings, I guess everybody really wants to tank for Wiggins this year eh?

Lakeshow should tank more, so we can get Stern to gift us Wiggins before he leaves.

If you're tanking for Wiggins, you haven't been paying attention to college basketball this year.

Totally disagree with Carlisle. Woodson is a bad coach. I know coaches gotta stick out for each other and even though NY Media is brutal, theyre not the reason Woodson keeps making boneheaded rotation and in game decisions.

Woodson blaming Beno for Smiths shitty 3 pointer in the Houston game is just disgusting. At this point, JR Smith could take a shit on Woodsons face on court and hed be blaming the arena for having their bathrooms too far away.

Lowry is 7th in the league in win shares between Stephen Curry and Damian Lilliard. Knicks and their fans don't want to trade Tim Hardaway Jr for him :lol

The trade was him, Shump and a first round pick or something like that. If it was for Timmy straight up then I think the FO would have done it by now

Nah it was 2 out of the 3; pick and choose. And the pick was in 2018.

Keep in mind that the Knicks traded two picks for Bargnani.

some dark years ahead for us in LA. Dark years.

I need Jeanie to pull a coup, with uncle Phil. Like a Hollywood style take over, with police escorts and shit.

I should dust off my Elden Campbell jersey.

















I don't have a Elden jersey.

Al Jefferson and Milsap are a better frontcourt but having a better frontcourt would only get Utah a first round sweep exit.

It was still the right move to make.

To be fair, before the Miami trade everyone on this forum would have laughed me into tears if I'd told you a Chris Bosh and Shane Battier frontcourt would win multiple chips.

Lamar Odom/Pau Gasol as well really.

Obviously they'd need a top 5 player for sure to do any real damage, but Kanter and Favors would both fetch good value in trades.

If nothing else, the Jazz goofed majorly by not getting value in a trade for those guys.

It is, but let me just say this is the 2nd time Beno's had a PG brainfart in as many months. He also threw the inbound pass to Carmelo instead of taking a timeout, and let's not forget his "don't shoot when wide open" play in Houston.

...and that, kids, was the first time I sucked a dick for crack
LMAO @ JR Smith untying Marion's shoelace yesterday.

I wish the NBA fines his stupid ass for that shit and suspends him again. Fuck you, JR. Dumbass clown.

If you had of finished the statement with "and next to bosh is LBJ and Wade" most people would have not doubted it so much.

Al Jeff and Millsap were a terrible front court pairing. The jazz had nothing left to lose in breaking that pairing up.

They could have got more back though. For sure.

As of now it's Millsap > Favors > Jefferson >> Kanter (with possibly more >s available between Millsap and Favors depending on your view of RAPM) so I guess that opinion is true as of right now, but Jefferson was a horrible defensive player in Utah (he's better in Charlotte but his offense has tanked there as well...) who didn't look like a player that could be built around. Regardless of the player quality, the team needed to figure out how good the young players were and a high variance season (if the young players are great, we'll be good and contend. If they're not, we'll suck and get a top pick) was the best idea for the franchise after a few seasons going nowhere. Dropping Millsap and Jefferson was a "Either way, we're fixed for life" strategy and therefore one that makes sense, but I think Millsap-Favors would have been the best big man combo we could have had.

Well, it just so happens that we have a slightly-used Kendrick Perkins ready and willing to be your Tank Commander.

Except that he's not a free agent. Nobody wants to pay him $9M next season.

Salaries don't even match. Even if the Lakers wanted to gift you Pau Gasol for garbage you'd have to either trade most of your team or give up Ibaka for it to be a legal trade.

I have a feeling Pau is being traded.

Before that happens, if it does, I'm going to say a Pau for Bynum + filler trade is something I'm against. I don't give a shit if the Buss's save money. They aren't lowering ticket prices and the trade makes the team more unwatchable this year (even if it slightly helps the tank).

Pau is still one of my favorite players of all-time. I don't want him to leave. I want him to be a Laker next year (and a reduced rate of course) too.


That said, I understand if the Cavs throw in Waiters or a 1st rounder and will be okay with such a trade if it happens. I'm against a straight salary dump but I'm not against a trade that brings in an actual asset or two.

LeBron loves his girlfriend. There is no other woman in the world he’d rather have. The problem is, Dwyane’s not a woman.
Parsons knee better be okay. Thankfully the MRI was negative.

I'm such a damn jinx though. Change my avatar to Parsons and ordered a Parsons jersey last week and now this shit smh
