    Apparently a strained groin and he was officially signed by Miami so I'd guess that he's done for the rest of the Summer League. Heat saw what they needed to see.

    I hope Bawz does not make the team just because Riley wasted a ton of picks on him, cause he certainly does not deserve to make the team over anyone on that Summer league squad based on ability.

    LOL.

    No. as a matter of philosophy.

    No..really, they ask their wings to get back on defense and prevent transition opportunities. They hardly, if ever call for 1-5 rebounding.

    You know...we are a perimeter player and a Center short. Rush and Oden round out roster IMO.

    If Oden can play 15-20 mpg this year..he would upgrade us plenty.

    Would you accept a friendly wager that Miami finishes ahead of Cleveland? Money, signature bet, charity, doesn't matter.

    I think all this Cleveland hype pushing is hilarious. esp coming from my friends who are cavs fans.
    my money is going to be on first round exit next season. So easy.

    Here is an idea, if Alex wins then Fin-O makes this picture his avatar for a whole year [​IMG]

    No matter what Lebron is still cooler than Beiber. He could leave us 20x and not put a dent in that. But I'd do it.

    Oh, you mean the one where LeBron lifts the entire Cavs team above his head fruitlessly for a 2nd round exit while Durant and Wade pop champagne?

    I hope so, but you would think Durant wants to play with his friend Lebron than Wade who got into it on twitter.

    I don't think Durant wants to live in Cleveland as badly as Lebron. He'd more likely go to New York with Anthony than James. I think for Durant to validate himself fully in a lot of eyes (not mine, he is great) he needs to win a title away from Lebron rather than with him.

    Miller to Cleveland makes them appreciably better as long as he stays healthy. How does their starting five look now?

    PG Kyrie Irving
    SG Mike Miller
    SF LeBron James
    PF Tristan Thompson
    C Anderson Varejao

    NOW we can seriously start talking about the Cavs as the 1 Seed.

    Fin-O..you have to remember...the Heat was a #2 last year...BY CHOICE.

    If you remember...they won the showdown game for the #1 seed and then tanked/rested their way back to the #2 seed.

    The Previous year when they were engaged and cared about the #1 seed..they won 66 games.

    I don't think Miller puts them over the top. He will be a boost but not that big of a boost.

    Dion Waiters says he is not gonna come off the bench.

    There are exactly 4 guys in that lineup that NEVER stay healthy BTW.

    Are you ****ing with me? Mike Miller in a starting lineup with Tristan Thompson and Anderson Varejao even warrants a response?

    Agreed with everything except the bottom. You can't say a guy who isn't on the roster is better than a guy who is on the other roster.

    Waiters has some DNP-Coach's Decision in his future. That's one way to not come off the bench. (If Pop is the coach, does he write DNP-*****?)

    And yeah, health is a factor with that Cavs lineup. But we're just comparing sheets of paper right now.

    Are you counting Lebron as the 4th? Because Tristan has missed like 6 games in his entire career and all were as a rookie.
