I imagine Love gets traded.
You don't bring in Phil Jackson to lose Carmelo without Carmelo actually getting a chance to work with him.

Will Wade accept a salary restructure?

He did it once, not sure if he will do it twice.

Wade could do it before because he had confidence of eventually recouping the money, especially given that everyone on the Heat became more marketable when they started winning rings. But based on his most recent play, his big paydays could be drawing to a close -- anything Wade gives back now might be gone for good. It's easy for fans to tell players to be "unselfish, for the good of the team," but most of us aren't ever in a position to say no to millions.

These will be selling like hotcakes all over Africa by next week:

The Thunder would have beaten the Heat, and maybe the Clippers too.

I'd feel bad for LeBron being so let down by his supporting cast, but this is the team he handpicked, and this pouty act looks real familiar to people like me who saw the run-up to "The Decision" up close. So fuck him.

I was just thinking that as well....Ironically, I thought the Heat could have won game one but Lebron cramped up

I think the rest of the team might wait to see what Wade does. I don't think the fans could be upset if he takes the money, he did help them win 3 rings.

Cleveland might draft Joel Embiid, back issues and all......I wouldnt do it

As a Magic fan I'm hoping they do.

Embiid foot injury.....will that change Cavs draft?? Someone playing games maybe. Wiggins will be a stud. Who would Lebron rather play with if he comes back to Clev..hahaha

I don't think they would play games with an injury.

I don't think they would play games with an injury.

Speculation is that Embiid doesn't want to go to Cavs and is creating a bit of uncertainty. Agents play games all the time to try to get their clients what they want and in this case where they want to be. I suspect with an injured foot he still goes to Cavs though. Just funny the uncertainty suddenly created again after the back injury before. Can you say - Sam Bowie; Greg O etc???

They have a terrible owner, which is why, I'd bet the ranch that Lebron would never go back there.

Nice....should get a couple of lads...

Don't draft that guy.....good god

If he doesn't want to play in Cleveland he should just say so. Steve Francis made it very clear he wouldn't play in Vancouver.

The minute they say foot injury who knows how far he may slip in the draft, and each time he slips he loses money.

Where will Kevin Love wind up?

My guess now:

Wiggins - Cavs
Parker - Bucs
Embiid - 76ers
Exum - Magic

 

[Beco]

My guess now:

Wiggins - Cavs
Parker - Bucs
Embiid - 76ers
Exum - Magic

No way the 76ers pick Embiid. Don't they have an injured draft pick from last year? Nobody talks about him...

If he is still there - they pick him. His upside (outside of the injury) is too high. Could be best big man in the league in a short time. Don't think he could drop out of the top 3. But Thursday night will tell the tale.

Carmelo has officially opted out of final year now. This will be a VERY interesting off season!!

 

[SgtSpiderMan]

Exum - Magic

Reports here in Orlando have Exum working out for the Magic multiple times. It would make sense they would want to pair him in the back court with Olidipo.

That raises questions about what we'll do with Aaron Afflalo, Jameer Nelson & the #12 pick

Chicago would be a good fit for Mello.

admittedly, I don't know that much about the 76ers roster, but seems like there are a lot of promises about "tomorrow" then actual building blocks for "today". Understand?? I don't think its smart to draft a, " well maybe" player, go for the sure thing.....if there is one.

I think Melo HAD to opt out. Wouldnt it be smarter to test the market as opposed to staying? I havent heard the numbers....

True, they need offense.

Melo could have opted in with the Knicks, but I don't see the point. The Knicks roster is screwed for at least the next year.
