Love still. As for buyouts, adding d-will and bogut/sanders would be amazing. Also Terrence jones is being released as well. I would take him in a heartbeat as well

We won a title with Love, so it has to be Love

This.

That being said, I'd rather have Wiggins than love, generally speaking.

Love was the correct choice then and now.

AP Sources: Deron Williams is working on his exit from Dallas and is looking to join the Cleveland Cavaliers.



I'll go the unpopular opinion and say Wiggins. But I think either are great options and happy as shit either way.

Love.

I hope we don't have to play D-Will any meaningful minutes in the playoffs. I'm happy to have another player that can run the point but he is not a good defender.

Sounds like we're the favorite to sign Bogut as well. Hope he stays healthy.

Actually d-will matches up with Livingston absolutely perfect. I like that move simply bc of that

Hope we can land Bogut. Saw Boston was the favorite to sign him, but no one really knows anything these days.

Sources: After an NBA review, @BobbyMarks42 interpretation is correct: Golden State is eligible to sign Andrew Bogut as a free agent.

Woj just tweeted that he actually could go back to GSW. Some loophole in the CBA.

Now, I'm not sure if he would want to. But who knows?

That would really piss me off lol

Edit: not because GSW would land Bogut, but because GSW would benefit from a loophole lol

Bogut isn't even healthy. Who gives a fuck?

Also, I like this:

Kyrie Irving said after the game Ty Lue said he was "F-ing around" too much & agreed they need to be sharper in putting teams away"

Lebron with 18-15-13 last night.

This team is going to be tough to beat.

I turned on Mike and Mike at the gym this morning. Stu Gotz was on there. In the one segment I heard, he said "warriors scored 50 pts in the third quarter last night, everyone is playing for second place this year" and "the Celtics should have traded for Butler because they would easily be a contender to beat the cavs in a 7 game series then."

Pissed me off and I turned it.

Got this from RCF:

In his (korver) last 10 games:

37/59 from three, 62.7%. Just lol.

75% when wide open
60% when open
50% when tightly defended
67% when very tightly defended

Hope he can keep it up and not act like he did in the playoffs recently.

One thing that really has me pumped about Deren Williams is the fact he is 2nd in the league in pick and roll efficiency. Only behind chris Paul. I think he will make a bigger impact than people think

Has he officially signed yet? I could see some team fucking the Cavs over and claiming him from the Waiver Wire.

It's not a done deal. You will see it Saturday if it happens but a lot of chatter around the league that he's a done deal.

Bogut to the Cavs also seems like a done deal.
