    From an article

    “Cleveland could send James to Houston, with Eric Gordon coming back to the Cavaliers and a third team with cap space (the Bulls?) to eat Ryan Anderson’s two years and $42 million. Chicago would likely receive multiple first-round picks from the Rockets for its trouble. The Cavs would then use Gordon as trade bait while shaving about $20 million in salary, enough to get below the luxury tax for the first time since James returned.”

    Get It done chins

    i don't think ariza is coming back, so we're going to need to find a replacement.

    No one but Carl could get away with starting such a thread …. I knew it was clickbait before I clicked and did it anyway.

    You literally CAN NOT give up Capela.

    IF he is matched he has the right to veto any trade in the first year. Meaning you cant just send him anywhere , he's gotta want to go to that team and …. He doesn't , He wants to be right where he is with Harden & CP3 tossing him bunnies.


    Just stop it …. this and DJ declining his $24.2m option with a 15% trade kicker …. signing for peanuts . Not Happening.

    Has Morey gotten lazy since winning Exec of the Year? Has done nothing since the award. Resting on his yannies.

    Yeah , kind surprised that they let him walk …. having limited resources to replace him and the potential of Luc being gone too ?! What about Capela!!?

    A little concerned to say the least.

    Basically Morey has one bullet to fire via FA in the MLE and I'm not so sure you find an Ariza replacement with that amount (lower this year than last).

    All signs are pointing our way.

    1. The "LA Superteam" is out, with Paul re-upping with OKC and Spurs are not making progress with negotiations with LA.

    2. We let Ariza walk for nothing???

    3. CP3 took 1 year less

    How is this possible? Lebron opted out. If Cleveland re-signs him he cannot be traded until later in the year correct? Maybe I am missing something

    Free agents are all flying off the shelf this off-season because teams don't have much cap space to operate. We'll likely see who Morey replaces Ariza with before end of next week.

    It'll probably be easier to replace his 3&D than his glue guy role. Tucker probably has to play that role now.
