They can plug in Joe Johnson types all day and all night at SG after every trade deadline with the buyout market.
Clips handling the Celtics in Boston Yeah, unless something changes, could easily see not just the Cavs beating Boston in the playoffs, but the Raptors as well Celtics' offense is so meh
Rondo happy to see another PG's misfortune in their free agent year, which he knows all about, having gone through similar circumstances. Isaiah basically kicked out of the game for nothing. Refs should just take pay cuts, they've been unacceptable this season
Zubac still looks 2 steps slow defensively He looks good offensively though..always has Isaiah has the 2nd unit looking good tonight..Wolves do suck defensively, however
Crawford caught fire at was hitting Steph Curry 3's. The youngins just wilted when the TWolves came on. That one hurt but there were a lot of positives from that game.
Teague's eyes also lit up anytime Isaiah was in front of him Isaiah about as athletic as 30+ year old Derek Fisher right now But Zo is back after the AS break
http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/22467429/nba-pros-dish-2018-summer-lebron-demarcus-okc Where will King James take his talents to this fall? We asked 48 NBA pros to look into the crystal basketball for their free-agency predictions on LeBron, DeMarcus Cousins and more. (Editor's note: Not all athletes answered every question.) Where will LeBron sign in the offseason? Cavaliers: 59 percent Lakers: 22 percent Heat: 7 percent Other: 12 percent Others gaining votes: Grizzlies, Rockets, Sixers, "Not the Cavs" "He won't leave after all the moves they made last week." -- Eastern Conference forward Where should LeBron sign in the offseason? Cavaliers: 66 percent Heat: 8 percent Lakers: 8 percent Other: 18 percent Others gaining votes: Knicks, Rockets, Sixers, "No team in the West" "Honestly, I'm hoping that he stays in Cleveland, just for that city. ... But I would definitely understand if he left. It's a business. You see how they did Blake [Griffin] after bringing him in during free agency, telling him all of this and all of that, and then they trade him away." -- Eastern Conference forward Which coach do you think LeBron should pair up with? Gregg Popovich: 46 percent Tyronn Lue: 18 percent Other: 36 percent Others gaining votes: Brett Brown, Mike D'Antoni, Billy Donovan, David Fizdale, Steve Kerr, Doc Rivers, Erik Spoelstra, Luke Walton, "LeBron coaches himself anyway" "I think LeBron should be a player-coach." -- Eastern Conference center Which player do you think LeBron should pair up with? Giannis Antetokounmpo: 12 percent Chris Paul: 12 percent Dwyane Wade: 12 percent Paul George: 9 percent James Harden: 9 percent Kawhi Leonard: 9 percent Other: 37 percent Others gaining votes: Steph Curry, Anthony Davis, Kevin Durant, Joel Embiid, Kyrie Irving, DeAndre Jordan, Kevin Love, Klay Thompson, Russell Westbrook "The duo of LeBron and Harden would be unstoppable." -- Eastern Conference forward Which rumored team should LeBron NOT sign with? Sixers: 31 percent Warriors: 28 percent Lakers: 16 percent Rockets: 16 percent Other: 9 percent Others gaining votes: Clippers, Spurs, Wizards "LeBron is a competitor. He's the type of guy who comes in and lays his hat on the line every night. If he went to Golden State, that would cut his competitive edge out. It would take something away from the type of player that he really is." -- Western Conference center Do you think the Ball family in L.A. is a deterrent for LeBron signing with the Lakers? Yes: 11 percent No: 89 percent "If LeBron comes to L.A., then it's the LeBron show. Not the Ball show." -- Eastern Conference center If LeBron does leave, what do you think would be the main reason why? Dan Gilbert: 29 percent The roster is too weak to beat the Warriors: 27 percent Not enough branding opportunity: 10 percent Other: 34 percent Others gaining votes: Looking for something new; trying to win a championship; he's too old; legacy; looking for a more lucrative contract; "He's done all he can do in Cleveland;" "I mean, it's Cleveland." "If LeBron were to leave, it would have to be for way more money -- like if a team could figure out a way to give him a $300 million contract." -- Eastern Conference guard Overwhelming majority not buying the BS about some other player's father controlling LeBron's future..smart.
True or false: DeMarcus Cousins will be in New Orleans on opening night 2018. True: 80 percent False: 20 percent "I hope he'll be back!" -- Western Conference guard OKC's opening-night lineup will include: Russell Westbrook and Carmelo Anthony: 45 percent Westbrook, Anthony and Paul George: 24 percent Westbrook: 22 percent Westbrook and George: 9 percent "George will be in L.A. in two years anyway." -- Eastern Conference forward Should there be max contracts in the NBA? Yes: 59 percent No: 41 percent "LeBron, Steph and KD, all those guys bring a lot more than what they're getting paid. ... But being a lower-tier salary guy myself, if you pay those guys even more, the lower guys on the totem pole don't really get anything." -- Western Conference guard Which team have you heard makes the best free-agent pitches? Celtics: 27 percent Heat: 15 percent Lakers: 12 percent Warriors: 9 percent Other: 37 percent Others gaining votes: Clippers, Grizzlies, Hornets, Knicks, Mavericks, Pacers, Rockets, Spurs, Wizards "Boston [has the best]. If you bring Tom Brady? That's pretty damn cool." -- Eastern Conference guard George will be in LA in two years? George should put some pep in his step.
