No, he's smart lol Miami is a black hole right now. He wants to win just like everyone else. If Houston is offering him a max contract, you go there. That's not lame, that's smart
Its possible and it fits their space. They have 3 1st rounders apparently, one is apparently a guarenteed lottery pick, + bennet. This trade is possible to go down now, or at the trade deadline. The TWolves have to trade him, hes gone, so when it comes down to the trade deadline the Cavs might have the most to offer. The other issue is, Love has to promise to resign, he WILL resign with Cavs, but if he goes to Golden State, or wherever, its not a guarantee....yet.
What do you not understand? They are the favorites to win the title because they will most likely be in the finals. The Thunder, Spurs, Clippers, Rockets are no lock to even make the finals. So yeah, the Cavs are not the best team, but they can win the east while the Western teams are up in the air to even reach the finals.
Yeah, Love said he would sign longterm in Cleveland. The draft picks (especially a lotto pick) are definitely valuable, but what value does Anthony Bennet have?
Nope, Wade's a Heat for life. He's got his rings, he's going to ride it out in South Beach for a few years then retire as the greatest Heat of all time. I don't think he's looking to go somewhere new to win another championship. I think he stays right in Miami and coasts into whatever is next. _
Rileys gotta offer him a contract, will he? Chances are he stays but Miami want to gut the whole thing.
makes no sense at all. None. You see in the NFL if a conference is stronger having 4 or 5 teams with higher chances then the other conference. What you are saying is that even if Lebron did not go to the Cavs, the East would still have a team around 3 to 1 because someone has to go. Christ...come on...they have even better odds then the Spurs...4 to 1...the Thunder...4 to 1. Your logic doesn't fit.
Anthony Bennets just a piece, hes cheap and the Twolves may or may not want him. The draft picks is the gold mine for the Twolves though, it all depends. If Goldenstate puts out a better offer then they can get him.
Thats how it works dude, the Heat were the favorite ALL year to win the finals according to Vegas. When the finals match up was finally set, the Spurs were the favorite. Its not that hard of a concept to understand.
Hey soxx...don't talk down to me like Im an asshole or I will get your address from MS. You are WRONG. The Spurs became the favorite because they steamed roll teams in the playoffs. If the Spurs won all 7 games series and looked like shit, and the Heat won all 4 games series...THE HEAT would have been favorite..I mean..are you serious trying to defend this and saying I DONT KNOW how it works? What the f is wrong with you. Cant you discuss stuff without acting like a complete idiot?
As much as it pains me to say it, Soxx is right on this one. Cavs are near locks to go to the a Finals where 3-4 teams out west have a legit shot. The Cavs would be underdogs against each one, but as of today, when you do the permutations, the Cavs all have a better shot of getting there where all of those teams have a chance of not even making it. When you figure out the permutations, for instance, the Cavs have a better shot of winning the title because--for example--San Antonio might not make it back to the finals therefore in figuring the odds, San Antonio would have a zero chance of winning if they are not there, therefore the Cavs get statistical credit for beating them in the finals. They may lose ultimately to OKC, but when figuring out the odds today, you have to take into account that every one of those western clubs have a significant chance they aren't even making the finals. It's not the odds of how they'd do against each western team individually, it's how they'd do against the collective of the west. _
