They will not trade that pick, which probably doesn't have as much value as everyone thinks anyway. LeBron is as good as gone. They need to try and grind out one last finals run.
Will hard to have much leverage with any trade without giving up something of value or a cheap player. Cavs have little of each.

They need to try and right the ship or bust with what they have. I don't see who could come in and fix things anyway. I just feel bad for DRose.

I don't either. They're screwed. Probably won't win the lottery three out of four years again either.

No chance free agents come to Cleveland either after the easy ticket to the Finals leaves town.

Fuck D Rose. He takes more of his mental health days and LeBron and company welcome him back with open arms. Love misses one practice and they fucking freak out on him.

Lou Williams deserved an all star spot over one of the 10 warriors or twolves.

West isn't even that great anymore bro. For example, the worst team in the league by far is in the West.

Team wise, you're probably right. But not player wise. West is definitely more stacked.

Because they have a few more bigger names? I'm just glad a stat stuffer like Booker didn't get all star treatment. He doesn't do anything more to help his team win than say, Aaron Gordon. Probably less actually.

After watching the Heat-Rockets the other night I was reminded how much I can't stand Harden and Chris Paul. I realize it would make sense if LeBron went there, but man I don't want that to happen.

Whatever your crush LeBron does it will be embarrassing, don't worry. He's going to come off the same way Durant did once he quits on Cleveland again.

I'm not sure how the Rockets would make it work cap-wise. Their strength lies in their stars and their sharpshooting supporting cast. They would have to give up most of the role players to make room. It's not like they're loaded with young guys on cheap contracts.

I actually hope he goes back to the Heat since he's done winning rings and will legacy hunt by stat stuffing only from this season on.

He's going to legacy hunt by trying to win rings.

Well, it seems like the NBA media mostly gave KD a pass for frontrunning, so who knows.

LeBron should just go to the Warriors so I can make a clean break and just quit watching sports altogether.

Unless he goes to the Warriors he won't win anymore rings. His time is up. He is stuck with his horrible Finals record. Time to rack up some stats!!

One of the highlights of each Cavs game on "Players Only" Night on TNT is how much they all love Jeff Green. In my experience if a guy has played for 6 different teams in the last 7 years they are usually an elite player.
