    I would think you'd realize I mentioned it before there was any sort of speculation.

    Clippers gave away Thornton for an expiring contract in Gooden?

    You didn't provide any insider information that any one of us could have found here or on HoopsHype. You're not on the level of DocRocket or Oeilpere.

    The Caron thread is still laughable and frustrating. You created a thread with nothing to back it up.

    It's hard for posters to continually believe these "I heard so-and-so talking and" stories when they continually come up being false.

    Let me guess, the next thread will be "The Knicks are *probably* getting" Tracy McGrady?

    Until next trade deadline...

    again, this is the 10,000 time ive mentioned this, I am NOT an insider, I just heard information from someone who is close to Morey. right place right time.

    I hope someone asks Morey on a radio station if there was ever 3 way deal on the table with Wash and CLE so then everyone would understand.

    as for the last, I have no idea what they're going to be doing, but I hope it's not for any of that Knicks garbage.

    anyway I think Cavs are by far the best team now, I wanna hear from anyone who disagrees with that and explain why they do.

    and Rileydog good job not giving the props, I don't care :grin:.

    With this move, the cavs should become the favorites to win it all. I mean lebron alone can almost get them there. Now with jamison and williams to take some pressure off they should be able to do it. Shaq has a chance to win his 5th despite sucking.

    I thought the Wizards were not going to help Cleveland out by sending them Jamison?

    As with other things in life, perspectives change when the trade deadline approaches.

    If you really did hear about this tidbit and really think you called this, then I would expect you to care.

    hey, it's all internet fun and all.

    I'm not all that persuaded but my opinion is not particularly relevant, important or enlightening.

    If you please overhear or predict a Tmac to NY trade for Hill and draft picks, and it comes true, I'll rep the hell out of you until you're reach diety status around here. I'm talking green dots all over the place.

    Well, the Cavs are pretty stacked now, and no one can use the 'but Lebron has no teammates!' excuse anymore.

    Every trades the Cavs made is one sided. Why are teams just giving them good players for crappy players in return? This is why I don't understand the NBA nowadays. Ever since Lebron came into the league ( he's an amazing player) everything is handed to him. His MVP award, and basically anything he wants.

    D-Wade is just as good as Lebron and he has something Lebron doesn't, a championship ring. Right now the heat are doing a horrible job trying to surround Wade with a decent team. Plus the Cavs can get virtually anybody they want. They traded Big Z alone to get an all star PF in return.

    Even if Lebron would join the dunk contest and sucked really bad, he would still win it.

    yeah I posted about that before, that Danny Ferry (the Cavs GM), only does trades if he robs the other person, and here is what Brian Windhorst(cavs plain dealer writer/insider) is saying:
    " Wizards are now roughly within $1 million of the luxury-tax threshold, a major reason to seek a buyout from Ilgauskas. "

    " Ilgauskas agent Herb Rudoy to PD's Mary Schmitt Boyer: "I'm going to try to get them to do a buyout." "
    http://twitter.com/pdcavsinsider

    So they traded a 1st round pick for Jamison and that's it, if things go to plan Z will be back in 30 days.

    no hard feelings RileyDog, I think Kevin Martin > Caron Butler anyway :grin: , so I don't mind whether you believe me or not.

    Big move for the Cavs , they might not have landed Amare .But they got a good player who makes Cavs even more dangerous than before to win it all.

    I think they now have a better chance to get to the Finals now, but they still gotta go through ORL...

    And if they make the Finals, I wouldn't put them as a lock to win it all.

    I really like this trade for Cleveland. They get a guy who is a fine scorer at the 4 position and can space the floor, can rebound, can't possibly be worse at defense than Amare (Jamison is not a very good defender though), and has a professional attitude and should defer well to others and I'll expect him to mesh well in Cleveland, unlike Stoudemire.
