Another reminder Morey wanted Al Horford & had to settle on Ryan Anderson. Not looking good Cleveland. Come on LerBon, come to the H!* *I previously said I didn't want LeDiva.
I think if the Cavs get beat by the Celtics and the Rockets lose to the Warriors it's basically a lock to happen.
Brian Windhorst: There are no other great options for LerBon [and that may keep him put in Cleveland].
I posted a theory in the game thread yesterday that the NBA has way less incentive to sway games via officiating since NBA betting is now standardized/legalized. They get 1% of all bets which more than makes up for any series getting extended for TV revenue. They also don't want to appear to be influencing games with the government monitoring them. Adam Silver has been fighting for this for a long time and he doesn't want to blow it.
