DG_ThenNowForever Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Read "Return of the King," the Windhorst/McMenamin book on the Cavs' championship. Griffin was instrumental in maneuvering the team to sign LeBron and for firing Blatt in favor of Lue. Unless he's feeling burnt out or has a health scare (he's a cancer survivor), I hope he's leaving on his terms. A firing would be nonsense. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Ferry, Chris Grant, David Griffin and the new hire. Plus, Gilbert didn't allow ATL and MIL to talk to Griffin as he was still under contract.

DG_ThenNowForever Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 First Gilbert introduces that stupid new logo and then fires the architect of a three-time Eastern championship team and one-time title winner. This has "organizations win championships" all over it, and it was as stupid then as it is now. Unless something comes out that paints this in a more positive light, the Cavs just lost a lot of goodwill with me. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NBA has like 2-3 GMs that are great, another handful that are good, and a large pile of leftovers that are prone to committing franchise-crippling mistakes on a regular basis. Griffin likely falls under that second category and I'm curious who they think would be available and an upgrade over him. If they want one of the great ones, Sam Hinkie is available.

FiddySicks Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 FOUR GMs since Lebron first got there. Unreal. Meddling Dan Gilbert is back. Lol, no way Lebron stays past next season. EDIT: Also, we can basically crown the Dubs for 2018 now, too. Sources: Kevin Durant to decline option, re-sign with Warriors Quote The 2017 NBA Finals MVP will turn down a player-option salary of approximately $28 million to momentarily hit free agency with the intentions of taking less than the max he's eligible for as a 10-year veteran. This is in order to improve the Warriors' chances of re-signing reserve stud Andre Iguodala, league sources told ESPN. By Durant taking about $4 million less than his max next year and waiting to get his long-term extension for at least another season, the Warriors would be able to use their Bird rights on an Iguodala deal that is far more comparable to what he'd see on the open market. All signs, according to sources, point to Durant signing another one-plus-one pact, which carries a player-option at the end. With Durant opting to sacrifice, according to league sources, the Warriors would not need to create room under the cap to re-sign him and thus would not need to renounce their rights to any of their other free agents. There's also talk of Curry taking less than the max now, too. They could actually ADD another big piece if that's the case (Nobody huge or anything, but a really solid bench player in the least).

I almost want that to happen. It could make the next two years more interesting; at least in the Finals. If a Golden State player is injured. Plus once the Cavs take a step toward being "super" fans will get more upset than they are right now. (Of course, as a Celtic fan, you were hoping to make a Finals trip soon; as a T-Wolves fan, I'm just an exhibition opponent) Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."

DG_ThenNowForever Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Celtics should be looking to 18/19 anyway (and I think they are). James will be in LA and they can run the East, assuming the Bucks don't pass them. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiddySicks Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 So, here's an interesting idea... It looks increasingly like Lebron is going to leave Cleveland after this upcoming season, and the Cavs are probably going to be left in an absolute lurch. Dan Gilbert is pretty dumb, and has sort of killed this whole thing a year early with the GM issues, and even if they trade for Paul George they still probably won't beat Golden State. They could end up in a situation next year where Lebron and Paul George both walk to LA, and Kyrie will definitely want out, too. [HOT TAKE ALERT] The Cavs should maybe consider trying to deal Lebron this off season. [HOT TAKE COMPLETE] And I know, NTC for Lebron, but still...

DG_ThenNowForever Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Gilbert really messed everything up. Again. He had two shots at the likely GOAT and messed it up twice (though no one predicted the Warriors and the Cavs could have gone 3 for 3. Oh well). The Cavs are still the best team in the East and Paul George probably is an upgrade over Love. If that's worth three more games over Golden State, who knows. But this is the last year for that group, especially now that Griffin is gone. What a joke. Win or die Cleveland. Or, win and die. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DG_ThenNowForever Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 They desperately need to dump the Mozgov and Deng contracts so they have space for George and LeBron next year. Magic said the only untouchable is Ingram. Sucks because I like D'Lo and think he might be really really good. But this solves the potential Russell/Lonzo issue before it even starts. Also Brook Lopez is a good NBA player. On the whole, good trade for the Lakers. Don't know why the Nets keep trading picks though. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may take the vet minimum after next season too since he'll be in L.A. and loves Disneyland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
