The Cavs (hopeful) journey back to the playoffs will be a bright spot in a season otherwise overrun by "omg where is Lebron gonna go next!!!11"

The rich get richer with Miami signing Beasley. Pat Riley seems to make all the right moves.

I honestly think the Lakers will clear the books for Lebron. This is Kobe's last year of his contract.

I don't think lebron would like following Kobe. I don't necessarily think its a sure thing he goes back to Cleveland; but a lot mkre likely than going to LA imo

Lakers management has gone on record saying they don't believe they have any shot at landing Bron.

Yeah Lebron is not going to go somewhere where he is second fiddle, even though he's the best player in the world.

I don't see him leaving Miami, unless he goes back to Cleveland.

With that said... Miami is fucked $$$ wise

Would like to see him go back to Cleveland and win a few titles, hard to leave that situation down there though.

I think it'd be really really tough for him to leave Miami if they win another title. Leave with the chance to defend a 3 peat? Just seems unlikely.

Agreed but what is their cap situation like after this year? May not be able to keep the core intact. From what I understand the Cavs cap situation is in good shape.

Its not good but I think all of the big 3 can opt out. Or gotta think. Miami would do whatever to give Kenton the max and get rid of whoever it took to do it.

If wade and bosh have years like they just did, I don't see anyway they don't take the player option...because there is no way they will get max money of they don't. They would be leaving too much money on the table by opting out.

Wade actually had a great year, career high from the field I believe.

Towards the end of the year, during the season he was mostly healthy if I remember correctly.

One of the big stories is who will get the best lottery odds.

Philadelphia? Milwaukee? Orlando?

I'm thinking it definitely comes from the East, if not the 3 or 4 worst teams considering the really bad WC teams from last year should be improved enough and the top end of the EC is also going to just crush the bottom teams.

It only took one post before the Lebron talk began LOL. Since he isn't on the cavs I actually hope espn drowns us in the "OMG where is he going" coverage. The Miami heat "fans" deserve it. Actually they prob won't give a fuck.

Beasley is a headcase who isn't even very good.

I am very excited to watch the Cavs. They should be pretty exciting this year and be in most games. Hoping for a playoff berth. Preferably 5-6th.

Although it is tempting to tank ONE more season, get the #1 pick, and take Andrew Wiggins...

'Bron brought 2 more rings to the Heat. I'm good with that. If he stays in Miami great, but I honestly wouldn't be upset if he left and went back to Cleveland. Cleveland deserves a damn championship and I'd love to see him bring one to Cleveland.
