2017 NBA OFFSEASON

all depends how engaged lebron is i guess. but they could be out of the hunt for a top seed early without IT2.

their depth chart is nasty

yeah they're deep enough that they should be able to coast to the 2nd seed as usual. hope love has a monster year too

he kinda has to

yeah it's definitely time. esp since IT will be out, he's gotta step up

this was a good JJ Redick sound bite

i think wade will be good for the cavs... as far as a non spacing wing goes he's better than shumpert, and he can replace like 20% of kyrie's 1 on 1 playmaking

it's possible that IT, wade, JR, crowder, korver, bron, tristan, love is not a drastically worse rotation than what they were throwing out against the dubs last year... might even be better depending on how health shakes out

if IT gets healthy and can give them like 75% of kyrie's production, no longer having to play shump & RJ is a big upgrade

korver is cooked, he'll be alright in the reg season i suppose

looks like russ got that kobe

As expected, Russell Westbrook did not practice today. He had a PRP injection in his left knee last week.

Sources: Dwyane Wade has reached agreement on a one-year, https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/912790467300995072.3M deal with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

wade-cleve official

wade was pretty good two years back but def hit a wall this last year.

yeah i'm not sure he's good anymore

Kyrie does not believe the earth is flat any more apparently

Kenneth Faried said he’s still a starter & if Denver doesn't respect him enough to play him the minutes he deserves, there’s 29 other teams. https://t.co/7XsDwigEl5

faried for jeremy lin

that would be cool.

wade is cooked but I'm still kind of psyched to have him. all these old dudes on this cavs team lol

yeah u could do a LOT worse than getting wade for 2 million a year.

just got through reading this craziness

geez

Faried really should be traded and I think he could be great for some teams

There’s just no reason to have him around with millsap/jokic/plumlee/hernangomez/lyles

always loved his game, think he'd be a good starting 4 for the spurs tbh

hes a weird player, one of those guys who can do some stuff but also cant do much of the stuff youd like him to

being a big who can't shoot or defend doesn't get you much in this league anymore

kinda bummed we didn't get melo too out of this weird offseason

Feel like I last thought about faried in like 2013

He should go east

This seams fair

gary harris may be a bit high as of today but that seems like a likely position for him by seasons end

he shot over 50% last season

yeah he was awesome

the preseason starts on saturday, that is when the basketball returns

<3 weeks til real games that count!

the games r good i look forward to their return

Truly a positive development in my life

i too welcome the games

i think they'll be good, the games

i hope we get an above average crop of games

when i go to sleep tonight i will be dreaming of hoops

this is the basketball that has been gone for many months, i come to praise its return to our lives

i'm excited about this season y'all

this was a fun offseason
the nba is fun

whether the cavs will be better or worse they are certainly a more *interesting* team this year

cavs are basically the yankees now?

well not this year's yankees

no

idk joyless team of ring-chasers sounds a lot like what people thought of various yankees teams over the past decade

that said i will enjoy watching them

jeter called ahead to have an employee (who hes firing) of the team hes buying fire some of his contemporaries before he takes the team over

i guess it'll be fun to watch wade and bron chill there's clearly a lot of love there but i feel like drose is a real turnoff, like he is kinda in the uncanny valley now
