Notice how I never said that he would come here. LeBron is getting tired of Mike Brown aka "Grimace" ruining his legacy by choking to inferior teams.

i call him Al Roker

 

[elcheato]

So just losing to Orlando is choking to inferior teams

Last two times we lost in the playoffs before that was against Boston in the Eastern Semis in their finals run, and to the Spurs in the finals when LeBron went crazy on the Pistons in the ECF.

Broussard on Rizzo:
Cleveland the front runner according to CB. Thinks it happens tomorrow or Wednesday to see if anything better comes up for PHX. Kerr won't hang Ferry out to dry, will give him updates.

Hickson could be an all-star next to LeBron in a couple of years. But Stoudemire is better. Clear Z would be waived by PHX, it would give them pause otherwise.

Many people in the Cavs organization think they need to make a move to win it all this year. High risk, high reward - Not like fitting in a role player, esp. when you're rolling.

Is Amare a Cav at the deadline? - Yes.

 

[stavi]

Idk if i like that trade for the cavs, it would be high risk and reward kind of thing

 

[Pugz]

I've heard Rip for Dampier is a possibility..

If so, seriously <Censored> Dumars.

That gets us out of Rips nasty contract, gets us money to rebuild quicker.

The Cavaliers aren't the only team that wants Antawn Jamison. A source tells Michael Lee of The Washington Post that Miami has expressed interest of late in the power forward.

The New York Knicks are getting closer to reaching the Houston Rockets’ demands for Tracy McGrady(notes) and his $23 million expiring contract, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.

The Knicks and Rockets have designed the framework of a deal that would unload New York’s Jared Jeffries(notes), Jordan Hill(notes) and either Al Harrington(notes) or Larry Hughes(notes) for McGrady, Joey Dorsey(notes) and Brian Cook(notes).

As talks stood on Monday, the price of dumping the burdensome contract of Jeffries – who is owed $6.9 million next season – comes with the Knicks and Rockets exchanging 2011 first-round picks and the Knicks’ 2012 first-round choice going to Houston. New York also might include a 2010 second-round pick.

The Utah Jazz own the Knicks’ first-round pick in 2010.

 

[.GR]

Who so much for Tmac?

 

[elcheato]

That has to be just the Wizards trying to scare the Cavs into offering Hickson for Jamison... The Heat aren't going to use their cap space on an older Jamison, just makes no sense.

 

[elcheato]

It's more to do with them giving up so much just to get rid of 7 million dollars on the payroll next year.

 

[.GR]

Yeah, exactly.

 

[Mexi]

TMac still has game
IMO, Houston could use him RIGHT NOW.
they're being assholes though

 

[snipezo]

Only if he kept his mouth shut.

Meanwhile, our sources over at LA AM570 radio have reported other trade scenarios the Lakers have put some effort into. However, take this second part with a grain of salt. The Lakers have shown interest in Detroit Pistons forward Tayshaun Prince as well as a Milwaukee combo package of Luke Ridnour/Kurt Thomas. The Pistons proposal would give the Lakers with a valuable defensive contributor off the bench while the latter package would provide the Lakers with veteran support as well as cap relief. In both scenarios, Lakers would offer shooter Sasha Vujacic and the expiring contract of Adam Morrison. However, future 1st round draft picks would need to be included for the Pistons or Bucks to take respective offers seriously.

Lol, Sasha and Adam.

 

[Mexi]

lol thats such BS

i understand it though. Detroit gets 5M expiring this summer and 5M next summer.
Tayshaun's contract expires next year anyways

so it would give the pistons a little more flexibility.

here's why it's BS
someone made that up. AM570 used to be local radio here in L.A. now it's national. So they never talk about the lakers. it's always espn stuff. nascar, football, football, football, college bball, football, little nba, etc

so yeah. nice try whoever made that up.

 

[bestkeptsecret13]

CHI: Travis Outlaw, Steve Blake, Juwan Howard, Adam Morrison
LAL: Kirk Hinrich
POR: Tyrus Thomas, Sasha Vujacic

 

[Mexi]

i'd rather get rid of farmar than sasha
but that wouldnt work in that scenario.

 

[Mexi]

here's a new one from twitter

Blazers offering Steve Blake, Travis Outlaw and likely cash to Clippers for Marcus Camby, league source tells Y! Sports.

 

[elcheato]

I don't know what to think of this Amare stuff anymore. Don't know if its a good sign that its dragging on because the Suns can't find a good deal or not. I just hope we do something because we're going to need another front court player next year since Shaq most likely wont return and who knows if Z will retire or be effective next year.

 

[RipCity32]

Amar'e Stoudemire has let it be known that he does not want to play in Cleveland.

The news was passed along to the Cavs who are now going in another direction.

But the deal might not be completely dead yet. One key factor that could change Stoudemire's mind is if the Cavs make Stoudemire an offer to extend his contract. He is believed to be seeking $60 million over three years.

Looks like we will likely see Jamison or Murphy a Cav then?
