    The players have to be so pumped. Maybe Anderson can get his head out of his ass and ball.

    Only benefit I see is Anderson playing better when he gets back.

    Otherwise, I fear for this team in the playoffs defensively.

    There is more than one deadline? Oh I get what you mean. It's the first deadline Morey held firm.

    Huh? They're terrific defensively when they're healthy.

    That's because we are now that super annoying team that picks up Vets for the minimum for want a ring. It feels good to be dirty.

    Not yet. Let's give it another hour. There still may be trades that we don't know.

    Why? When paul capela, and moute play the rockets are one of the best defensive teams in the league

    you don't need to make any deals when you're already the best team in the league.

    Both good and bad. Good part is that we don't need to risk our perfect chemistry now; bad part is that the window for Lebron or any other big free agent to come this summer is officially closed, Ryno's contract is even harder to move than one can imagine, so if we can't win the championship with the current roster, we have to wait until 2019.

    With the moves the Cavs made today, I have a feeling LeBron may not be going anywhere this summer.

    Should we maybe ask the police to cruise by for a welfare check?

    i mean a trio of love, lebron, kyrie had to grind it out to the very end to win a title.

    this team with an injured love, lebron, and whoever the 3rd person is (hill, clarkson, etc) is not better than that team. They remained competitive this season with the upgrade from what they were with IT but i dont see how that roster tells Lebron im a legit contender for years to come

    Yes, we have a shot at winning it all as constructed, and with buyouts coming, we can add some talent for nothing.

    Sometimes the best hand is staying pat.....

    Well if lebron resigns in the offseason then they will surely trade that brooklyn pick + a couple of their new assets for immediate help for lebron.

    Its still possible to get a big 3 of lebron + love + 3rd star next year if lebron resigns
