2017, so that's 3 seasons down the road.

Gotcha. Couldn't remember what they have been saying.

Either way, Bron isn't leaving Cleveland again so it really doesn't matter.

Proposed 3 Team deal mentioned on Twitter by Mike Cairnes from STO.

Warriors Get: Bunch of 1st rd picks

T'Wolves Get: Klay and Tristan Thompson

Cavs Get: Love

If that trade happens, Cavs would be insanely deep.

Was my thoughts at well. But maybe didn't want to have to move Lee, Barnes and Klay.

Who knows probably just some false report trying to get his follows up lol

Cavs just need to be patient, TWolves know they need to move Love, they will get nothing in return if they let him walk after the season.

Good lord has Klay become overrated. He's an elite shooter who does nothing else on the court well.

If they can get 3 1st rd picks for him, they'd be insane not to do it. It's not as if Golden State is winning the West in the next couple years anyway.

You're insane. Klay is a damn good defender, and perimeter defense is HUGE in today's NBA.

From someone living in the Bay Area, goes to 10+ GSW games, and watches most of their games this is wrong. He sucks on defense. Not an abomination like Love, but he's not good certainly. lolfail

The Warriors allowed 106 points per 100 possessions with Thompson on the court. 103 with him off the court.

He's decent on ball, but absolutely horrific off ball. He allowed 1.02 points per play on off ball screens. He's athletic enough to be a good defender, but right now he lacks the awareness and/or effort to be one.

Golden State is really good. Not championship good, but not sure why they would essentially trade Klay Thompson for future picks. They should deal him for Love.

With Thompson, they are a good team that's fun to watch. With Love, they are title contenders

Come on now, ESPN would have reported that LeBron was joining a cult and planning to join in a mass suicide before covering the Cleveland angle. They denied that shit until it was fact.

Ppl were saying from the decision that they expected him to go to Cleveland to finish his career. Not much of a leap of faith IMO. Plus he said with absolutely not information or reason behind it other than he wanted it to happen. If I start spouting that KD will sign with the Lakers now after his next contract is over, would I get credit for it since I threw shit against the wall and it happened to come true? I fucking hope not, bc it's total BS. congrats Ohio bucks on getting lucky? LOL you guys are morons, and lol at ohiobucks for being a chest thumper.

He didn't just say it. He knows Maverick and relayed almost exactly what the letter said, 6 months ago. That LeBron wanted to come home and he missed the people around the city. That he wasn't as happy in Miami, because he wasn't celebrating with NEO.

You can debate whether or not he knows Maverick, but based on how this played out, it appears so. If not, it was the best thrown against the wall shit ever.
