    Hmm... put more weight on Haynes, who has dropped some legit insider tips, or Windhorst, who is basically Lebron’s unofficial biographer at this point?

    Haynes is probably getting his info from some good resources, but as we are all well aware, if LeBron wants to go to a team there will be someway he gets there.

    To be realistic, at this point it's the bets that are deciding those lines, not the oddmakers.

    I don't believe it.

    Haynes is decently legit. Not good news, though not very surprising.

    Alright let's say Lebron or PG dont pan out. I think we could get Love from them. ....But I dont want to give anything more than Anderson and Picks......I know they want Gordon but it cant happen.

    18/19
    Deng $18 mil (use amnesty clause)
    Lonzo Ball $7.5 mil (trade because LeBron won’t want to deal with LaVar Ball)

    Ingram $1.7 mil
    Kuzma $1.7 mil
    Josh Hart $ 1.7 mil

    Non guaranteed contracts
    Ennis $1.7 mil
    Zubac $ 1.5 mil
    Bryant $1.4 mil


    RFA
    Julius Randle (QO) $ 5.6 mil

    LeBron will be adding Paul George plus another star. Then vets. So scratch out young players that can’t shoot.

    Take care Don

    The more I hear about the places LeBron is going, the more I feel like he stays in Cleveland. At this point, he is almost guaranteed a finals appearance every year, and has a 50/50 shot at a title. He has enough control of that team to do and play the way he wants to, and the fans love him. I gotta say, I was a believer that he was leaving, now I'm sort of convinced he stays.

    it will def be a factor...it had to be frustrating dealing with Wade being in and out of the lineup all the time

    I don’t trust CP3’s health which is why I am not in favor of just bringing this team back with maybe a decent role player or 2 added to the roster

    Not entirely accurate.

    Windhorst said if LeBron chose the Lakers it's more because of what the Lakers can do for the rest of his career.

    Windhorst used Houston and Miami as examples of how LeBron could try to ask Dan Gilbert to trade him there if he wanted pieces back.

    Windhorst never narrowed it down to "Houston, Boston, Cleveland"... he didn't even mention Boston in the podcast. The host was just spit-balling teams with shooters until he got to Cleveland...

    Windhorst actually then concluded that LeBron likely stays in Cleveland - "to be continued".

    Lebron going to Boston would be a very weak move. Following Kyrie? Lmao

    50/50 shot? That would imply that the Cavs actually have a chance at beating whoever comes out of the West. They don’t. That roster sucks and has no upside. Bron stays in Cleveland if he wants to pad his career numbers. They won’t even beat Boston next season with a healthy Kyrie, Hayward, and an even better Tatum and Brown.

    Do you know what year it is?



    Under the 2010 Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), each franchise is allowed to waive just one player prior to the start of any season between the 2011–12 and 2015–16 seasons


    If this were still a thing the Rockets would be trying to use it on Anderson.

    Now teams use the stretch provision
