Wade to Milwaukee, returning to where he played college ball.
They also believe he's 25.

LeBron ready to cash in his $30M per.

ESPN article suggests he can only get 27.5 since Cleveland doesn't have his full Bird rights and they can only do a lesser raise.
Of course, Broussard wrote that, so he can probably get 50 million and change.
That is if he decides another 1-year deal with the Cavs. If he really likes to stay, might as well take it to at least 2 years to get at least $30m per, especially with his fellow all-stars on long term deals.

I see Lebron's eating
Chump change compared to his endorsements and shoe deals.
Does Vegas take bets on where free agents might go? I know at least one "shocking" move's likely to happen, I just can't begin to guess which one. Wade and Miami's contract talks have always been so weird, including 2014 opting out of his last two years near max, before Lebron signed with Cleveland.

I was thinking the same and wondering why the opt out. But reading the other posts I kinda see why he did it.
E::J2,
Cleveland I think was 50/1 before the Lebron returning announcement. Then the next day, it went down to 6/1

Dwight meeting with the Hawks and Celtics. Man I honestly think that if the Hawks do get Howard, we should let Horford walk OR trade Millsap. Those 3 on the team just don't work imo. Millsap and Horford are basically the same players but Millsap is better right now.

Wade is leaving Miami. He was looking to leave unless Miami paid him a ridiculous salary. They couldn't agree to a long term deal so they paid him a lot for 1 year as a thank you gift for recruiting LeBron and taking a pay cut.
Maybe he ends up with the Bulls since that team was always brought up with Wade was looking to leave Miami.

Wade leaving Miami to go sign with the Bulls, who all but openly attempted a firesale a week ago, will be losing their center/backup center and don't have a starting point guard? The Bulls, who just drafted a guy in worse physical condition than Wade? Whose best returning player knows they tried to toss him to the 6ers and the TWolves?
Somehow that doesn't seem likely. IF he shocks the world and bolts, I see him going to the Clippers or the Cavs, nowhere else. But let's be honest, he and Riley know he's not going anywhere.

Dwight to Boston on a max contract is such a bad idea unless he's somehow the guy Durant wants.

Bulls were clearing space for Wade and his posse.

I don't think LeBron is going to Chicago. Also it's not spelled "posse".

I coild see him taking his ball and going home aftr the first media session after a game he sucks in and the team losses.
"Dwight, about those free throws"
"Dwight, why didn't you take the charge"
"Dwight, why did you laugh when you got dunked on by Spud Webb?"
Oh my...
This. He has sjown mo motivation in LA or Houston, so how will that fly in Boston? I mean, if he wants to step up on D, then maybe, but...

True. Millsap (while his value his really strong) and a second round pick to Raptors for Terrence Ross, a Raptors draft pick (delon wright), and Patrick Patterson (excellent bench player, but not a starter) would benefit both teams.
Especially with the Celts getting better, and the knicks squeezing out 5-10 more wins this year.
Hawks and Raps cant afford to stand pat.

"Tentative Celtics summer league depth chart
PG: Rozier, Jackson
SG: Hunter, Young
SF: Brown, Nader
PF: Yabusele, Bentil
C: Mickey"
This is his third year in the league and Young is a bench player on the Summer League team.

He's right at the "bust" marker now where they just might have to cut their losses. He looks like a lost and scared puppy everytime he touches the court..

Everyone has cap space, I could see some team offering him a 2 year $40M deal or something like that. The Knicks and Nets would make some sense.
I also think they'll go ahead and swap Rose for Paul so they can get the whole banana boat squad together.Knicks starting lineup next season
Rose
Wade
Melo
Lebron
Porzingis
Your 2016-2017 NBA Champions.

And KD would be sixth man until Rose got hurt in December.

Why Yabusele over the Euro center??? Back to the whole D12 thing. His value goes up if they eliminate the hack a shaq rules. They aren't landing anyone anyway so it really doesn't matter.
Most teams would on a short term contract. He's a far better player than guys who will be getting the max this offseason, aside from Durant. Remember, Harrison Barnes and his 11 pts/5 reb per game was expected to get a max contract (and still might, lol Sixers).

Multiple sources.
Does Durant not know where Los Angeles is?! It's in Los Angeles California!!!! Home of Kobe Bryant and Hollywood star. He'll come around and choose them, no doubt in my mind.

Nah. I've known he's not coming for a while, which is actually fine.
Curious to see how the young-uns work out this year.

It's not like OKC actually needs to talk contract details with KD.

I would say Joe Lacob, but he's light years away at the moment.

Barnes.
Lmao, yeah maybe Lacob should stay away.
I'm actually a little nervous about what he's going to do if we don't land Durant. Can see him making some awful, over-reactionary move because he's mad about losing the title. He's been seemingly good about letting Myers, West, Ker, etc. do their jobs, but he got a bit louder this year.
