    Knicks and Lakers may end up with no big time free agents. I guess no one wants to play with Kobe or Melo

    Ya their guards are on good deals too. Thomas is 3 years/19.5 mill and Bradley is 3 years/24 mill. Im not sure who they would move, think i would prefer Bradley.

    I just dont know who is available to get out there with a trade in terms of big names.

    Depth chart is

    PG-Smart/Thomas/Rozier
    SG-Bradley/Young/Hunter
    SF-Crowder/Turner
    PF-Sullinger/Mickey
    C-Zeller/Olynyk

    I dont think Turner or Zeller will be here at the beginning of the year. If the roster stays as is they wont make the playoffs, due to teams like the Pacers, Hornets and Heat(depending on Wade) getting better.

    Impossible to say what Danny will do but i could see him making a bunch of trades like he did last season.

    @redsoxx He should look at a sign and trade with ORL for Tobias if they end up getting Milsap. Those deals for Bradley and Thomas are absolute steals.

    Glad the Heat locked up Goran for 5 years and it's looking like we're gonna resign Wade to a big deal. If we stay healthy our team could be scary!

    Definitely going to be in the playoffs next season. Hopefully you can knock off the Cavs for us! After all the only games Lebron won in the finals this year were when D Wade was in the building.

    He still had a ring without them. And Melo still couldn't win on Denver when he had my boy CHAUNCEY BILLUPS

    Love and Tristan are staying in Cleveland. Tristan is getting something around 80 million and I have to imagine Love is getting close to the max. Love announced his decision via the players tribune.

    Edit: Love agreed to a 5 year, 110 million dollar contract.

    i know that and billups wasnt the same player then and no one was beating the lakers or spurs.

    legacy/money comment made no sense everybody was trying to take less to team up in 2010 not only wade. The no state income tax helps also.

    Is that why Melo just took almost a max contract? If he cared about winning more than money he would have left NY

    he took a max contract on a team with no other stars, why would he take less without knowing what will happen in the future with this team. (Any player would do the same) Him staying in New York was being loyal regardless of the money, he's not jumping from team to team chasing a ring, he's committed to trying to do that here regardless of the outcome. Not doing the Lebron tactic doesnt mean you dont want to win.

    I disagree. I think he did it for the money knowing d--- well he'll never win in NY. The whole 'loyal to my home city crap' was just an easy excuse to use. Lebron left his own home city to win and he did, i respect that more than staying on a s-----y team and sucking them dry... no h---
