    Bosh won't go to Cleveland, neither will Melo

    Plus Cleveland don't really have the room to do it without some really major houseclean, whereas Love just needs a salary match from the low side.

    This. Can one of our smart cap folks confirm? If they have to make moves to sign James, how could they clear enough cap room to sign two big contracts?

    What I meant was with Deng signed to a starting salary of $12 million plus Jack plus Bennett plus Waiters plus Zeller plus their other non-guaranteeds plus Felix plus Karasev they can cobble together around $34 million of salary. Add 25% to $34 million and you come up with over $42 million. Cleveland has enough salary (provided Deng signs for a salary starting at $12 million or more) to bring in over $42 million in salary while leaving Irving, Wiggins, Varajao, and Thompson all in place.

    Miami (and another team) may be motivated to do a sign and trade for Waiters and a couple picks.

    Sure they can get their roster down to something like Kyrie, Wiggins and Zeller and then have room from 2 maxes, but Bosh said no to Cleveland last time, and Melo? lol

    Whereas Wiggins is the best offer Minnesota could dream of getting and would be worth 1 yr of Love almost on his own (who has said he'll stay for Bron), fixes more of the issues and allows the team to keep all those other rookie deal players for other moves.

    Bosh wants to play wth Lebron though...I don't think city matters much anymore for him. City does however matter to Mel.

    At no point has Bosh implied that he would follow Lebron, it's always "in Miami"

    Does this confirm Cyberx as a fraud? He says that Melo played/watched Kobe at UCLA to see if he is still good and was really impressed with what he saw. Now it has come out that they were never at the gym together (per the UCLA athletic department). They were there on seperate weeks. Can't believe I fell for the misinformation this guy peddles.

    TMZ, he has viable sources, but there's so much deliberate misinformation thrown around by everyone, that large grains of salt. No one is going to be right all the time in a game of whispers. He gives us information that floats around, sometimes it's true, sometimes it's false, he's not vetting for us, do that yourself.

    Smh man people really trying to run cybrex off, I'm sure he's not a gm he's getting his info from others, even the whole media thought Kobe & melo were there.. Even if they weren't, that's beyond realistic to call him a FRAUD over something like playing in a UCLA gym

    JUST THIS SEASON

    1. RONDO - Cybrex broke rockets were interested in rondo & may have to give up parsons.. 1 week before it got started all through media, and espn we're sending out updates through the phone and first take started arguing over it.

    2. DUNLEAVY Cybrex broke mchale were interested in dunleavy, one week before national media got to it

    3. LOWRY Cybrex broke morey was interested in LOWRY a few weeks before FA hit and then at 12:01 FA night WOJ reported rockets were flying out to see LOWRY at 12:01

    Howard and Bosh said no to us the 1st time around. Lol Howard is a Rocket now so Bosh could tell Cleveland yes the 2nd time around.

    Dude do not go down this slippery slope. Trust me it won't end well. You will get hit with the Trolling a member hammer. Especially one that is a contributor in many facets.

    man, these "insiders" really need thicker skin. if youre going to put info out there into the internet, you might get negative backlash. if they can't deal with any negative cristisim, its best to just say nothing and stay out of it. you can't please every single person.

    He knows where the bodies are buried because he's the one that buried them.
