According to league source, Cavs have yet to engage in any serious contract negotiations to this point w/ RFA Matthew Dellavedova. (1/2)....

... (2/2) Cleveland focused primarily on Tristan Thompson & LeBron James negotiations, and working to move Brendan Haywood contract.
No way they let the hometown hero walk...right?

You mean LeBron? There's no way he's leaving. I think it's an issue of TT and LBJ sharing the same agent and trying to get the best deal for each.

I'm talking about the Cleveland legend Matthew Dellavadova aka Delly aka the Chef Stopper.
EDIT: hold on, stop the presses

Report: Cavs and Matthew Dellavedova making progress toward a multiyear deal in $3-5 million per year range, per @ShamsCharania.

Robin Lopez wouldn't be a bad sigining at like 3 years. Decent defensive center. Not a complete stiff. Contract is still movable in one or two years if it's absolutely necessary. Can probably run with the young guys on this team. Won't get in the way of Randle/Clarkson/Russel's development. More importantly we can still lose 50+ games with him. If we can somehow unload Nick Young on someone I will consider this offseason a success.

So if the Lakers get Robin Lopez, does that help them in LMA sweepstakes. I heard LMA enjoyed playing alongside Lopez.
Not yet. Bit too quiet for my liking. But Raps need a PF.

He's a big time offensive rebounder too and shoots a high FG %. Would be a good pickup in this market especially.

I'm this close to going down to frisco to walk on for the mavs d-league team....
If JJ Barea can make it so can I!!!!! Seriously though, that dude is an inspiration to everyone under 6ft who's dreamed of playing in the NBA... Dude's made millions, played a significant role on a title team..... married miss universe.... talk about winning in the game of life.
He may have never made superstar money but I'd take 16 million in four years in a heartbeat......

if the Spurs miss out on LMA and the Mavs miss out on everyone Cuban needs to do the right thing and send Dirk to San Antonio for one last ride.

Firing up the tank early this year huh?

Yeah he seems like he'd be a good fit for a team that will need to showcase Clarkson, Russell and Randle (and to a lesser extent the other rooks Brown and Nance) and let them shoulder most of the offensive load (well and Kobe for about 25 games before Father Time comes calling). I'd much rather have him than like fuckin Hibbert who is just going to slow things down to a crawl.
Ninja Scooter

It was an inevitability. I mean, realistically, let's say a miracle occurs and we sign LaMarcus Aldridge (or Deandre Jordan for that matter), with the way salaries are inflating we don't have cap space to really sign anyone else of note, which means it's LMA or DJ and a bunch of rooks (and Kobe). That's still probably a lottery team in the west lol.

Chandler Parsons $15,361,500
Dirk Nowitzki $8,333,333
Raymond Felton $4,540,000
Devin Harris $4,053,446
Gal Mekel $947,276
Mavs seemed to be have a lot of wholes to fill. They can start anywhere once DJ rejects them.

Hey Ninja, I remember you said you didn't want Okafor because he reminded you of Brook Lopez. Well you might have Brook's brother now.
Ninja Scooter

I've always liked Robin way better than Brook. No joke. Much better complementary piece. Better defender and rebounder, and obviously cheaper too.
Wes wants the Mavs

What time is it?
Bite your tongue.
If it weren't for his knee, after this FA period, that wouldn't seem so bad.

Then I can continue to laugh at the Kings off-season. That trade with Philly would have been for nothing
Dallas gave Parsons the same type deal that Matthews is offered by the Kings.

I was actually thinking about that S&T with Bosh. Think a 3rd team would facilitate to take Bosh? Houston or Dallas maybe?
Ninja Scooter
Member
on paper though is Bosh to Aldridge an upgrade? Aldridge probably better pure scorer. Rebounding a draw (?) but I have to think Bosh is a better defender and more versatile. Probably deeper shooting range too.

Why would you downgrade from Bosh to Aldridge willingly?

Bosh's health is still kinda sketchy tho after that blood clot in his lung, they said he had a full recovery but I wonder how he's going to hold up playing 30+ in the regular season running up and down the court.

Bosh aint going nowhere man.

Wouldn't seem worth the effort to replace Bosh with Aldridge. It may not even be an upgrade.

lol. bosh seems like such a good guy
Bosh's versatility puts him over LMA for me. LMA doesn't want to play the 5, while Bosh can do it whenever Whiteside isn't on the court. And he's been shooting the 3 for some time now, while LMA only started doing that last season.
Division means nothing.
It's a 1 year thank you for being loyal deal and doesn't hurt the team like Kobe deal

Would be fun if the Cavs aren't able to move Haywood. Either Lebron has to take a paycut (which would never happen) or Gilbert's gonna have to pay hilarious amounts of luxury tax.
Just wait till cap raises next year and he does half decent.....he'll ask for more

They won't trade bosh, guy is a top tier pick n roll defender and is offensively versatile. Dude is a legit all star and would've had a terrific season if he wasn't hampered by the blood clot. Plus, unlike wade his game is going to age well.
No way Riley is gonna downgrade for LMA. Id rather part with the knucklehead that's whiteside, who is either going to have a breakout year next season or become the next Jr Smith of committing stupid flagrants and just being an idiot.
