    Nelson and Allen will be FA's, but Asik has an addition two years on his contract. There's no long term benefit to the Bulls here, but they traded away a gifted offensive player. That locker room must have really sided against him for them to make such a weird move.

    We are talking about the same LeBron who left CLE to form a super team in Miami. Then left Miami when everyone got old to form another super team in CLE with great young talent. Now he killed CLE organization/resources and it’s getting stale and hopping on to GSW is his easiest route. LeBron is definitely a guy who looks for the easiest route. He’s only cried about having more talent on CLE about 8 times the past two years despite all efforts to get LeBron exactly what he wants like a lil spoon fed child at toys r us. Now, all this sudden, he wanted PG13 and Bledsoe, presumably with Love and IT. Because of course he did. It’s egotistical LeBron, he wants everything.

    Here’s how CLE convos go:
    LJ: I want Bledsoe and PG right now
    CLE: All we have is Brooklyn’s #1 pick as an asset and that it’s
    LJ: Who cares? Just ask em... tell them LeBron needs them
    CLE: Doesn’t work that way
    LJ: I’m LeBron!
    CLE: We know, that’s why we have killed our whole organizational future for you... we lost everything for you and we can’t help any further without losing what little we have left...
    LJ: So you can’t get who I want? Off to GSW

    CLE gets left with Love, IT and Brook #1 pick. This is LeBron. This is who he is. GSW just has to get Iggy, Livingston and Thompson off the books. LeBron and KD have one big snake fest where everyone seems happy but KD secretly feels like LJ is stepping on his toes (By being on KDs team, that guarantees LJ has more rings than KD by the end of his career no matter what) and LJ feels KD’s legacy isn’t earned (LJ has already said he will tell people exactly how he feels about KD signing with the Warriors 5 years after he has retired so it’s not as big of a deal, claiming it was different how his situation with Miami vs KDs with GSW.... so we know some jealous/envy lives here with LeBron) while simply doing what KD did before KD did it, all while BOTH guys hopped on Curry and Draymonds championship team. Ego city. I think both LJ and KD are very much threatened by each other, especially with KD now on prominent GSW where he may be able to haul in more rings than LJ if LJ doesn’t sign with KD and LJ knows it, which is why he will sign with GSW.

    During the game last night in the 4th i believe the Cavs fans started booing the Cavs. Not long after that Lebron gave them the lead with an and 1 and he started finger triggering the crowd. The look on his face was that of an annoyed man.

    Then after the game, reports come out that Lebron is going to listen to a Golden State pitch. Maybe he’s just telling Cleveland to enjoy him while they can.

    What are your emotions going to be like when the heat wreck the tankers tomorrow? Are you just indifferent the whole game as a fan of both teams, or are you like “Yes! Heat 3!”...”Play some ****ing perimeter defense Philly!”

    First, awesome post, I nearly died laughing because of the truth behind it lol


    But, It’s a win-win situation... A Heat win with the young stars in Philly looking good would be ideal. I got to go to the game in Philly last year(February game), I wore my signed, white, Whiteside jersey if you wanted to know...

    Embiid seems like a tool, especially him throwing that guy at the eagles tailgate like a rag doll, but I love the embiid-Whiteside rivalry.

    Ben Simmons is such a likable guy. I think Boik was off on him.

    Embiid is a fierce competitor which is something I desire out of all athletes but you don’t get from all athletes. He’s a 7’2”, 5-Tool Center and his skills are unicorn like. He’s also the type of guy that “plays for his city” which is something you would love if you were a Sixer fan like me. He is definitely setting himself up to either be loved or hated and obviously, I’m with the love on this one. A **** ton of Philly fans are also ****’s, Embiid may have found out the hard way but don’t trust that 5 second video. That fan was probably drunk off his arse.

    I don’t know what Boik said about Simmons, but seeing as he’s lightyears better than Ntilikina, I’m sure he wishes he had Ben himself. Lol jk jk but seriously...

    In all seriousness, to Boik’s defense, Simmons didn’t have a great reputation coming out of LSU and a lot of people, myself included, didn’t expect him to come out the gate this good.

    LeBron said he will take meetings with Warriors, Heat, Lakers, Spurs, and Rockets this summer.

    Thought for sure Sixers would be in there... no big deal though. At least the Heat are in there. Still have a strong feeling GSW will work this out so they can land LeBron.

    I can't imagine that Heat rumor to be true.

    Edit: In that he'd actually end up here again.

    Gary Harris and Jamal Murray are really friggin' good. Denver is very good at the draft recently. They drafted Harris and Jokic both in 2014, and Harris was 19 overall while Jokic was a second rounder.

    At least his team isn't pulling WWE fake tough guy stuff and pretending to want to fight another teams locker room.

    This is such a non-story.

    Watch for the Houston Fraudkets to start losing ground. Warriors will start pulling away after All Star break.

    I don't see it unless there is a major injury. But if it happens, I expect LeBron to be in Houston asap.

    Greg Monroe to the Celtics. Captain Jack says he's not a fit, but he'll almost certainly be better than Aron Baynes.

    Lol honestly doesnt surprise me he chose boston over cleveland with so much uncertainty going on in Cleveland about the future. If there are anymore buyouts i expect them to choose between GS, houston, boston and probably okc. They will pass on Cleveland, and believe me aint no one wants to live there anyways.

    At least they made it interesting at the end. Winslow really effed up that inbounds pass. Bam looked more loose offensively against Embiid than i think ive ever seen him. 15 pts 13 boards. Whiteside with 4 pts.

    Meanwhile Kemba scored 41 tonight. hmmmm. Riley should pull the trigger.

    Big win by the short handed Pelicans! We needed that so bad. Jrue Holiday shut down PG and whoever else he played tonight. He’s actually living up to that massive contract.

    I just love rooting for AD. He’s so smooth and then can explode for huge dunks.

    The Mirocic trade was fantastic. Helps us this year, helps us next year when we’re working Boogie back in the lineup (yes, we’re gonna give him the max. Now is not the time to be tentative). And we got rid of the second worst contact in the NBA.

    Dell is not done. This team will make more moves.

    Do the heat need a power forward?

    Maybe they can get a rental from the Dolphins?
