    there's been talk about S&T w/ NY. you have any idea how that would affect CLE with the hardcap apron, especially since they're already so far above the cap?

    Lets just dump Ryan Anderson on cleaveland for Lebron. Hopefully we can add Melo for the minimun once he gets bought out.

    No clue what the sign and trade would look like.

    My guess actually is that the cavs can't do a sign and trade at all because they are above the apron.

    It's not really 3 years, the last year is a players option.

    You're right, but two full years under team control is still enough to trade him where they want.

    this is what i was thinking, that the current cba disallowed S&T's for teams already above that apron level. i guess jabba tha hut shelburne really doesn't know jack

    This confirms what I have believed for a long time...

    No superstar wants to play with LeBron.

    No **** ;) still it can change everything which is exciting!! The only downside, whoever wins the west will blow out the eastern team in the finals sweepingly!!!

    I think you can tolerate him for maybe 3 or 4 Finals appearances but it gets dodgy after that.

    Lol Suns won't do that.

    Bledsoe is worth a lot more than that.

    Lol NY? Idk why.

    This clearly means

    1. He doesn't believe the cavs can defeat the Warriors
    2. Trying to stir a fire under management to move players
    3. Know for sure LB is leaving
    4. Saw the spurs wippin that ass before Leonard's injury and thinks them together will beat the Flarriors

    Lol that is the least likely trade to happen.

    Nobody is helping the Cavs out, and Boston isn't going to load up the Cavs with exactly the wing assets they covet to beat the Warriors when they're trying to beat the Cavs.

    And the Suns aren't just going to give away Eric Bledsoe to help a bunch of other teams when they can just trade Bledsoe for Kyrie.

    I want to see Irving on the Suns. That team would be fun as well

    Bledsoe, Bender/Chriss and 1st for Irving

    Kyrie Irving
    Devin Booker
    Josh Jackson
    T.J. Warren
    Tyson Chandler

    Bad ass roster.
