Man, is David Blatt the luckiest son of a bitch on the planet or what? He's like that guy that starts of trading a paper clip for some other shit on Craiglist and after fifteen trades ends up with a Ferarri.

What'd they get in return, a bag of basketballs?

What'd they get in return, a bag of basketballs?

They got $3.25M off their salary .. and possibly enuf to entice a Ray Allen or Mark Miller for a year

Then the Pelicans overpaid.

The Cavs have reportedly agreed to send Alonzo Gee to the Pelicans.

Details of the deal have yet to emerge. Gee was reportedly moved to Charlotte in a draft day deal for Brendan Haywood, but that deal will now be restructured (Cleveland will still receive former LeBron James nemesis Haywood). This move is mostly about salary, and will allow the Pelicans to complete their deal for Omer Asik.

My free agent targets would include the following (and probably in this order):

Chandler Parsons - SF

Paul Pierce OR MarShon Brooks - SG

DeJuan Blair OR Jeff Adrien OR Jordan Hill - PF

All but the first and maybe Pierce should fall into the "affordable" FA category.

not getting Parsons... he's headed to Dallas or back to Houston for like $15M a year

I wouldn't give up on Parsons till he inks a contract with somebody else.

If they find a way to get Love here, and get him to agree to an extension, without dealing Wiggins, I'm not sure how I'll react. I'm not used to competency from Cleveland front offices, let alone all-out wizardry.

A roster with LeBron, Kyrie, and Love along with the potential of Wiggins is a scary, scary proposition for the rest of the league. Of course, those salaries have the potential to thrust them right into the depth hell that the Heat dealt with this year. But, those are young guys, so you don't have to worry about one of them aging as rapidly as diane wade did and throwing off your mojo. The Heat won two titles with scraps for their bench, if those guys can stay healthy and gel, look out.
