I'm surprised to see Love sticking around, but I've always liked him, so I appreciate it. That said, it doesn't make a ton of sense for Cleveland's perspective. Unless they intend on trading him, of course. I can't imagine the deal will look very good in the later years, though. Injury-prone...

The Raptors have been a real black sheep in the Leonard trade sweepstakes, and I think they have a great shot to get him, but he definitely isn't staying in Toronto. That team doesn't get out of the second round.

Fuck yeah.

The first rebuild effort was poor at best. It resulted in one star (who they deserve a modicum of credit for, as many argued for Derrick Williams over Irving) and six role players (Thompson, Crowder, Waiters, Allen Crabbe, Wiggins, and Joe Harris). They traded Wiggins, Crabbe, and Crowder before...

I don't think Dan Gilbert is interested in the smart thing. He wants to prove that this roster can make the playoffs without LeBron. He isn't interested in another rebuild so soon after the last one, either.

$300 million for a team that won't get out of the first round. Great work, Sam Presti.

PG would rather watch Russ chase stats, I guess.

I know the move doesn't make a ton of sense from a basketball perspective, but I think the guy has made peace with the fact that he's got three rings instead of six. He's said multiple times that he's proven everything he needs to on the basketball court. Honestly, if he can continue to be 3/4...

I assure you Jayson Tatum is not on the table. I don't think the Celtics would trade Tatum for Kawhi straight up. Boston's happy with their team. If San Antonio wants to pass up Brown, the King's pick, and another pick/Rozier, that's their prerogative. Boston won't press for a deal. I'm not even...

Most of Boston's players are cheap or on rookie deals. And I wouldn't worry about Kawhi and Hayward playing the same position, the NBA is getting closer and closer to positionless basketball. They're looking at starting Kyrie, Hayward, Kawhi/Brown, Tatum, and Horford next year. That's by far the...

Are you kidding? They passed on Luka Doncic for an all-time boom or bust prospect.

Honestly, I think you have to consider it. The 8th pick probably won't amount to much this year (unless several teams fuck up at the top of the draft), and it will probably be decades before this organization is relevant again if LeBron leaves. I don't buy it, though. Love and #8 are a decent...

Yeah, it's not like he brought Cleveland its first title in two generations or anything.

And LeBron's been playing with a broken hand for three games. Amazing.

Might be LeBron's last half as a Cavalier. Can't skip it.

The 6ers become extremely interesting if the Spurs are willing to deal Kawhi this year. Philly could offer the most for him outside of maybe Boston. Saric, the 10th pick, and Fultz for Kawhi (who doesn't want to play in small market San Antonio anyway) seems fair. Simmons, Redick (or another...

David Griffin seems to think LeBron's going to Philly. As long as it isn't Golden State or Boston (which it won't be), I'll be rooting for him. When he left the first time, it felt unfair. He had unfinished business in Cleveland, and The Decision was a disaster. We were sore about him leaving...

It is remarkable that the Cavs could've won two games in this series. LeBron's greatness is somehow undersold. I don't think it's fair to call Love half an all-star, though. He isn't Minnesota Kevin Love anymore, but he's capable of many of the same things (and a few others) when the...

The funny thing is, I think the Cavs would be going for a three-peat this year if Golden State hadn't replaced Barnes with Durant. But, you know, Cleveland.
