Oh good. I really want Cleveland to be competitive again. I dont know though if titles will come with it though.

There is literally nothing redeeming about a franchise and fanbase that celebrates being a lottery team year in and out and burns the jerseys of the only guy who ever made them relevant in years. Not to mention that whole Dan Gilbert letter thing. But good for them I guess? I wonder if they're gonna trade for Love as well, that would be a pretty interesting lineup.
The letter thing is over DG apologized like a man to LJ face and LJ said he was wrong in the way he left ..They both have manned up and moved on..Thats how it should be .. :th2thumbs:Throwdown":2j15y1e3 said:Beast Mode":2j15y1e3 said:Why would anybody want Cleveland to be competitive again?

I can't defend Gilbert, but that was a fan base that got poo'd on in front of the world.

The reason is because in 2 years the new tv contracts come into play and will push the salary cap up a lot higher..He will re-sign with the Cavs for whatever the new max is at that time..drdiags":126kro8e said:I saw some tweet about LeBron's deal only being a 2 yr deal with an opt-out. I guess it gives each side flexibility but I thought it would be for 3-4 yrs since it sounded like LeBron was in for the long haul. NBA contracts today escape me, I haven't kept up. The Max contract, the mid-level exemption, opt-outs and expiring contracts make the NFL contracts seem like child's play.

I can't see what the Wolves are thinking but Love does not want to stay there..If the Cavs give up their 2 #1's next year and 2 players ...I believe that's a hell of a deal that no one else can offer..If no deal happens and they sign Miller and Allen..I can see them being contenders without Love but it won't be easy..Throwdown":1dlmo4nq said:IndyHawk":1dlmo4nq said:The reason is because in 2 years the new tv contracts come into play and will push the salary cap up a lot higher..He will re-sign with the Cavs for whatever the new max is at that time..drdiags":1dlmo4nq said:I saw some tweet about LeBron's deal only being a 2 yr deal with an opt-out.

I had never thought of that, I saw 2 years and raised my eye brow and wonder why the Cavs were cool with that.
Also sounds like Cleveland is trying to get Love and trying for anyone not named LeBron, Wiggins, or Irving.
I think we'll see a package of Waiters, Thompson/Bennett, and a few draft picks for Kevin Love in a few weeks.
