Good ass game Cleveland vs Houston

Lol

This Cavs team is a low-key 6/7/8 seed, way better spot then when Bron left the first time

Yeah but its only a matter of time before love bounces so they better trade him before its too late

Not sure if posted yet but LBJ getting ready the season

Nice signing by them

OKC is going to pretty much waste Russ and PG prime years when they stretch Melo.

You think they're better with Melo?

 

[ALonelyDad]

You think they're better with Melo?

No, I am talking about stretching him for 3 years. I would try hard to trade him or just buy him out and pay it all right now

Magic need to ship has ass to Miami for a couple weeks, re-up on his gear

I don't think it works that way

 

[drifter]

Either they stretch Melo for around 9 mil a yr cap hit the next 3 years or buy him out and pay 130 mil.

So really 130 mil in tax for one season for a team that can't win vs 39 mil in tax and 27 mil over 3 for a team that can't win.

Russ & PG not taking paycuts like GS will hurt them in the long run more than Melo's contract

There would be no major difference. Stop gassing the discrepancies between conferences.

Lol there is gigantic talent discrepancy between the two conferences. That's obvious.

But Wiggi's just isn't good anywhere he goes.

No, there isn’t. The West had a .527 winning % against the East last season, which is hardly a difference.

It’s an overstated talent and gap discrepancy between the conferences. Yes, the West is better. The top players in the West are better and the two best teams in the league last season (Warriors, Rockets) are in the West. But there’s 30 teams and over 400 players that need to be considered. Even in the East you still play West teams plenty.

Nikkas is making it seem like Wiggins numbers or any player from the West that comes out East numbers would take a jump

 

[jwinfield]

Playing in the east ain't gonna make Wiggins start playing like he gives a fukk

 

[Versa]

No, there isn’t.

Yes there is

There's 1, MAYBE 2 if you count Kyrie, top 10 players in the east.

The east is inferior. The Jazz would body anybody in that coherence not named Boston or Philly lol.
