    I'll be ecstatic if we can get rid of Brewer's contract before tomorrow. It will hopefully open up time for McDaniels while also freeing more room for the Summer.

    I think there's going to be a small flurry a couple hours before the deadline, but given the changing situation in Miami and the lack of a home-run deal for Dwight, it might be a quiet deadline.

    I honestly think they (LeBron) could negotiate them both at or under 45 mill per together. Say 22 and 18 starting each. They can flip varejao with a pick to shed his contract and after this year it's NG anyways I think.

    Extremely doubtful. I didn't see any Cav take any serious discount. We are talking about Dwight possibly losing 20+ million.
    They haven't reached "ring chaser vet " status and they aren't young to be able to recuperate $ with their next , because for both that will be their final contract.

    Doubtful but it may happen...this will absolutely be the best and last chance for Dwight to win a ring as a main piece, in fact i think there'll be no chance he bolts the Cavs in the summer if they offer something like 20 mill x year.

    Idk why people are acting like someone who has been injured for the past 3 seasons and only good skill is the ability to stretch the floor and knock down the 3 isn't something to be alarmed about.

    You know that if Anderson gets 17 million then Dwight for sure will get 20+ million and then other players who are younger than Dwight and more healthy will be trying to get their max which will be around 23 million.

    All it takes is one person to trick an organization into over paying them and then all the other players and teams will fall in line.

    You can either be angry or accept it. It's your choice.

    And the reason he is going to get paid is because there aren't a lot like him with his skills. If there were he wouldn't.

    This is what will happen! No tricking involved. No pimps here.

    I said it earlier. 15-18 mill will be minimum for players who can score 12-16 points a night.

    Cavs' interest in Anderson could lead Love to Celtics

    if that's true which I seriously doubt what can morrey do is put up competition and make the price so big for Boston that the deal fall through.
    But I don't trust any of these sources. At all. Isola is like Broussard.
