    I think I'm going white tee, black tee, jersey, and two caps.

    EDIT: Does anyone know if the jersey patches are stitched on? I'm not buying a jersey if I can't remove the patch and I have to question the NBA selling jerseys with patches that fans are paying for. I understand the players having them since it's a way to extract revenue beyond ticket and TV sales, but jerseys are something that I'm directly spending money on. Merch is already advertising a business (the team) so I'm not interested in wearing a jersey patch.

    When Love got traded to Cleveland and everyone was orgasming over him I thought it was ridiculous and that he was so overrated when he was talked about as a top 5 player.

    But now he’s probably underrated and the Cavs are doing him no favors by playing him completely out of position. I probably would trade Whiteside for him. We could hide him defensively by starting Bam and we’d never lose spacing with either him or Olynyk on the floor

    If the staff is comfortable upping Bam's minutes, I'd be down for it. Love's rebounding and shooting are invaluable. We could possibly convince a guy like PG13 that he's the final piece in the off-season at that point. We'd definitely have to make some moves after that, though. Richardson escalates to almost $10 million next year and TJ jumps up to $19 million for the last two years of his deal.

    If you don’t get that Okaro White Vice jersey, you’re doing it wrong.

    Seriously might have to wait til the trade deadline before I cop a Dragic or Whiteside. I wonder if there will be a dwade one.

    I am sure there will be. This jersey is going to be a big seller.. The entire nba subreddit was jizzing all over their own faces about it.

    Remember when Chris Bosh said things were going to be toughest for Kevin Love and people gave him a hard time for that? Lol.

    Whats weird is theyre calling out Love for not feeling well, yet Derrick Rose was allowed time off to evaluate career retirement.

    If we could sell Love on the Miami work ethic and defensive mindset, I would LOVE to get him here...

    Rose isn’t getting $100 million. With great contracts come great responsibilities.

    Didn't realize the players banded together to pay him for his contract. Very generous of them.

    Really dude? I gotta spell it out for you? Stars are treated differently in the NBA. Rose is playing 12 minutes a game.

    Yes, it would be MORE dope for sure. But we’re 7-3 outta the last 10. 5 games over .500 for the first time in years. Surely a Knicks fan can understand my enthusiasm. Oh wait...

    And we host the Rockets Friday, so that’s clearly a win.

    The fact that Rose receives the same amount if not more attention still at this point in his career tells me he is still a star. I've never seen a guy get thrown under the bus like Love. There's something more to it. This is what Riley and the Heat FO is great at avoiding and why Cleveland will go back to being a perennial dumpster fire after LeBron hits eject finally.

    I disagree that Rose's star power is equal to Love's. And the team surely relies on Love more than Rose to get W's.

    The Cavs are a bunch of drama queens. Because of Lebron (who I love, but he has some glaring faults). I hate Kevin Love cause his uncle is Mike Love of the Beach Boys, the most reprehensible man in the history of rock n roll. And there's a lot of competition for that crown.

    Kevin Love celebrated their championship with a smoking skull belt. He's not at fault here.

    Whiteside for Kevin Love continues to sound like even more of a good idea daily. He's only a year older than Whiteside too.

    I’m not sure if I’m more disappointed in Whiteside for that dumbass moving screen with the game in the bag, or JJ and Bam for letting a 95 lb De’aaron Fox get the board over them.

    I hope Spo destroys them in the locker room.

    Lebron is coming to New Orleans. And not as a tourist. He wants to play with Boogie and AD and be part of the greatest frontcourt in the history of the NBA.

    Maybe. Jrue Holiday has been playing great defense this year.

    How would the Warriors stop that frontcourt?

    I hope it’s not just for picks if it happens. Not sure who is even out there.

    Whiteside gets far too much crap from certain circles of Heat Twitter. JJ has been crap most of the year and Dion suckered us on a bum angle

    He mentioned Harrison Barnes as the most likely guy to acquire for Whiteside. Sedano also has us trading Whiteside for Harrison Barnes.

    It's nearly impossible to answer their barrage of 3s. I don't buy that front court being able to distribute enough looks for all 3 to be as effective as the perimeter shooting of GS. To be fair, I haven't really watched enough Pelicans this year. It just sounds like a clunky offense if he were to go there. Who else could they bring in or who is LeBron elevating that's already there for spacing? Seems like the middle would just be clogged.

    Contracts match up. I wouldn't mind this move, to be honest. I think Whiteside is what he is at this point. Gets us younger and gives us a little more space. Sure would make the team small, though.

    You got this one (if they hang on). Getting ready to head to the movies, so I can't watch the rest. Congrats. Revenge for that 50 point loss your team suffered last year.

    Word is Morey is trying to complete a trade of Ryan Anderson for Brook Lopez. Maybe this will be the final straw. He's worthless. That move would free up $20 mil for LeBron next year. Get it done tonight.
