What report(s) did I dismiss, exactly? Please tell me, if you're going to make such a specific accusation. I never said Melo would come, just...
Amico being in the title of this thread: [IMG]
The Rockets won 65 games and were an absolute juggernaut. The chances of the 35-win Lakers getting anywhere near that level next season, even with...
Do you think Daryl Morey is an idiot? Per multiple reports locally and nationally, the Rockets were still "all in" on LeBron as recently as 2 days...
Generally agree. I'd say there's a small chance of an early-morning leak, like what happened with PG today... but either way, if we're sitting...
I just don't buy that an opt-in without a trade agreement in principle would FORCE anything, other than Cleveland having the game's best player...
If LeBron opts in, he wouldn't be able to leave for zero compensation. His leverage would be out the door. Cleveland could simply say "that...
You might need to stagger it to where the LeBron trade becomes "official" before the other signings... but the main issue with waiting until July...
I don't believe Gilbert would have any interest in trading LeBron to Houston under any circumstances (considering what HOU can offer) unless the...
Right. There's no way they'd give Daryl Morey (or whoever the GM is of the team LeBron wants to go to) a blank check to accept any combination of...
That would require an ENORMOUS amount of faith in Dan Gilbert. Can't see that happening.
The discussion is the Lakers taking one of Denver's bad contracts, not the other way around. The Lakers would lower Denver's luxury tax concerns...
If the Lakers do something like the Denver deal, can we finally bury the notion of Kawhi, LeBron, and another max slot (i.e. PG)? Assuming they...
FWIW, my guess is that if the rumored Suns deal involved the Lakers, it wouldn't be announced until after the Lakers had an agreement on a Kawhi...
The more I think about it, the more I'd be surprised if Deng was in a hypothetical Laker deal to Phoenix. Not impossible, but surprised. Keep in...
A healthy Luc Mbah a Moute is much closer in impact to Andre Igoudala than a healthy Igoudala is to Chris Paul.
Not saying he wouldn't be fine with LA... I think, like the Cleveland scenario, he'd be on board with it. But if CP and Houston offer more money,...
Not sure if the Rockets would want Melo, but if he's bought out, if they do, and assuming CP is still here... I can't see Melo passing up $5.3M...
Correct. There was growing momentum, and it was well chronicled nationally, too. The approximate timeline, as I remember it: Wednesday, June 14:...
I meant it in terms of other teams who would specifically be involved in the hypothetical LeBron transaction. In other words, a third team that...
