Rockets clearing the deck now to sign Bosh and re-sign Parsons within 48 hours to match the offer sheet.

It's a fire sale!

Quite surprised by the Lebron move. Looks like the Heat era is finally over and they'll be back to their old ways.

The cavs are pretty strong this year.

Lin traded. Bosh re-signs with Miami

This Lebron news is one of the greatest sports stories of all time.

Wonder if it was planned all along for Cavs to get draft picks and lebron to improve his stock/cabinet before returning to a stronger side

 

[Bobby]

Miami will be alright if they can grab Carmelo. They did get Napier from us for...Hairston . Still need a center though, and Birdman and Haslem (!) won't cut it.

None of that matter though, this is our year. #Biznation

 

[yoyo913]

I hope Wiggins remains on the Cavs. Would be cool for a player with huge upside to play along one of the greatest. Hasn't happened in a long while.

I have a feeling Lebron won't put huge pressure on himself to win a championship the first few years so this Cavs team could be very fun with the young roster.

Aren't they pushing for Kevin love? Only way that would happen is to lose Wiggins in return

Well that's not really certain. Everyone is assuming it, but Minnesota don't have the leverage to demand Wiggins for Love, who is probably leaving next year, IMO.

 

[yoyo913]

Yeah, Minnesotta could lose Love for something worse than Waiters and Bennett (ideally Thompson also remains on the Cavs).

Waiters will be a decent started in the future imo.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

It'll also involve at least one First Round pick, and probably Varejao.

 

[Bobby]

GSW and the Lakers could probably push the price for Love up though.

 

[leungtl]

Lin traded. Bosh re-signs with Miami

I woke up to that news... not the greatest start to the day.

Not sure where to now

 

[Bobby]

Lost Asik, Lin, and Parsons. Didn't get Bosh or Melo. Hell of a week for Houston.

 

[leungtl]

For 5 hours I thought we had one of the greatest starting line ups in the league... now...

 

[ShiftyPowers]

hahahahaha, lost Parsons too! Gonna be worse than the Bucks

 

[leungtl]

 

[Bobby]

Someone might hit 150 against the Rockets this year. They didn't bother defending when they had Asik, now that they don't have him? Yikes.

 

[Mus]

James Ennis to Miami Heat too..
