Some of you guys act like we still have to manufacture a trade out of nowhere for Lebron. Like, what do you think Morey does all day and all night? Do you not think he already knows nine ways to Sunday to actually get a deal done? And do you actually think that just because nothing has been announced that nothing hasn't already been agreed to? I would venture a guess that he already has a deal agreed to for Anderson. And it's simply a matter of aggregating that deal into a bigger deal for LeBron or someone else. And he may have a complete deal agreed to with the Cavs that he knows they will do once Lebron notifies. Come on guys. These are professionals. This won't hit any of them out of the blue.
I believe he has considered and is considering Houston. Feigen reporter we were still in pursuit. If we were out, CP3 would know and we would move on. We’re probably his second fallback choice, with LA being his first and CLE being a third (or maybe philly/Bos who knows). Maybe he’ll decide that LA can’t get its act together by the opt in so he settles for his second choice. Or maybe he wants the first choice so badly and doesn’t think the third choice is so bad that he’s willing to give LA time past the opt in deadline to figure out a deal, thereby passing HOU. But we haven’t been told no or else we’d have moved on.
Lowe: Some of these negotiations could take a while. Houston's dance with Clint Capela could get spicy.
Nope. Actually, trades would be EASIER after July 1. Remember, the Rockets are still subject to a hard cap until July 1, and they are only $7 million below it. After July 1, they can take back more salary if a trade becomes REALLY big.
It's because the spurs ain't bitting and now they don't want Brandon to know he was really gunna get dealt.
LOL at anyone who thinks they know what Lebron is doing or thinking. Nobody except Lebron knows a damn thing.
Yeah, just my schtick. Here's more of my schtick. Make a donation large enough to be a suporting member here, BSMoney.
The trade? Probably.... (And this is PURE speculation) CLE: HOU 2021 1st (top 3 protected) + IND 2019 1st (top 3 protected) + F Alex Poythress (IND) IND: G Eric Gordon (HOU) ATL: F Ryan Anderson + HOU 2019 1st (unprotected) + HOU 2020 2nd + HOU 2022 2nd + C Chinanu Onuaku HOU: F Lebron James (CLE) + C Dwayne Dedmon (ATL) It sucks for Cleveland, but it was going to always suck for Cleveland (if LeBron left again)
