The Bulls just tossed Dunleavy to Cleveland to sign Wade lol. Still cracks me up

Pretty hilarious looking back at it.

 

[Black Adam]

Amazing. Lebron loves fucking with people's money. Had Wade essentially opt out of the remaining $42 million from his 6-year deal to sign a 2-year $31 deal.

easy to do when it's someone ELSES money...

 

[Mecca]

Richardson (if he has anything left), Dunleavy and Shumpert are great off the bench. You lose JR though, that bench isn't looking so hot.

Backup Pg will be interesting too.

I wonder why they didn't give Cole nor Chalmers a sniff?

I love Felder.

But, he's not ready.

I can't believe they couldn't find anyone better than Tony Douglas.

I believe Chalmers is still rehabbing his torn achilles. Cole....not sure but there has to be better options. And yeah, Tony Douglas is playing garbage time.

Cole signed overseas.

 

[Heatles84]

Cole signed overseas.

I see. Looks like he's going to make $5 mil in China. Not bad.

Report: Norris Cole signs deal in China

Edit: It works out for Cole. Dude gets more money and gets to showcase what he's got. It also provides him with a great amount of playing time that he wouldn't have got in the NBA.

 

[WiggyRuss]

I think the Cavs are smart for what they are doing, in general....but there was no market last season when Tristan was in the same spot. He just knew....

The common denominator is Klutch/James.

J.R. fully expected to get the same type of result, or what was his benefit in hiring Klutch?

I know its prob not happening, but as Heatles pointed out, it would be awesome if J.R. said 'fuck you' to all involved and moved on.

yah...fuck yall...you are offering me 11 million a year-- im gonna go take the next best offer --- 9 million just to spite you!!

lol.

Depends where the 9 is coming from (taxes), and fire the agent and keep it all.

I expect them to meet in the middle, but regardless, stop with nonsense that Gilbert doesnt care about taxes.
What he cares less about it signing James again in 2 years.

Toney Douglas actually played very well in New Orleans and is a more-natural PG and less erratic than Cole. I think that was what they were looking for, just more stability.

...and he can still sign with a NBA Team for the playoffs.

Hey China worked well for Starbury, so who knows?

i like the sound of that.

Douglass shot pretty well from 3 last year too.

Jazz/Clippers on NBATV tonight

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Congrats to @Demonjoe93 .
Hawks finally have Cavs number.

 

[shopson67]

Randive certainly is nuts...

 

[gordontrue]

Eastern Conference Dwight Howard >>> Western Conference Dwight Howard

I'm starting to think he might be back.

question was always about his MATURITY, not his talent...

 

[Bulletz]

Agreed. I think he'll do well in ATL if he can stop being a pos. Not sure that will happen.

i dunno about you- but i would much rather pay dwight howard 23 million a year for 3 years than mozgov 16 million a year for 4 years.
