KG had to jump straight the NBA because he couldn't even qualify for college. OMG SICK BURN
-
What part of pretending to have to care about the academic credentials of professional athletes strikes you as enjoyable?
-
Just enough time to avoid playing in Newark.
-
Ultra whiny NCAA moralists SSR and shnsjax playing up DRose angles that no one gives a [expletive] about!

Let's keep in mind that the last three eastern conference champions were headlined by players that are not on Wade/Lebron's level. There's more than one way to bake a cake. It makes it easier with a talent like that but if there's no super team formed in the East it can be done.
-
He's always been adamant about separating Akron from Cleveland, though. Not that I want to divine too much meaning from a twitter bio.
-
Spongeworthy or another USC fan, any idea of how good Jackson is? Rivals had him as a 4-star out of HS, I believe. Rotational lineman. The USC defensive line was average last year and he didn't see the field all the time.
-
Well, I get that because it would create an absolute circus at a camp where kids are trying to work on their game. But I still think there's something about him doing it at his high school and not in Cleveland. To save some suspense, if he does it in Cleveland everyone will know.
-
The Bulls will be perceived as failing because Chris Bosh got lumped in with James and Wade when he is clearly closer to Lee, Amare, and Boozer.
-
Spurs allegedly like George Hill to take over full time at PG (which I think is nutty because he's not nearly as good as TP, although he is hurt a lot) and people think Eva is talking in Parker's ear about getting to a more glamorous market. I think Lee would work really well next to Duncan too. And I'm not sure Bosh hasn't shown interest in Texas. Broussard said earlier today that Bosh didn't want to play in his home town of Dallas but Houston would be attractive. They've got nice pieces to trade with and he can play next to a legit center in Yao. I think that's why he's interested in Chicago too because he knows Noah will do all the dirty work at C.
-
Yep, it's a real possibility. Lebron + Boozer/Lee makes the most sense to me. If getting Lebron came down to getting Bosh and getting Bosh came down to S&Ting Noah then of course I would do it but that's about the only scenario I can think of. I'd rather just sign Boozer or Lee outright and keep Noah. You could be right about Wade. I'm sure the $30 million does mean quite a bit but with his star and endorsement power, I think it means wayyyy less than to him than it does to Bosh. I wonder if the money stuff is taken care of already in his divorce.
-
You swap out Lee for Amare and get nothing else of consequence and you're still looking at a lottery team. Lee -> Amare is basically a lateral move.
-
The key for the Bucks will be for Jennings not to have a multi-month shooting slump or for Salmons to play like he did for the Bulls last year. He's great right after he's traded. Getting Bogut back will help. And of course if Skiles can keep up his excellent coaching without starting to grate on his players.

Where do you have the Celtics? 4th if they bring everyone back. What's the timetable on Perkins? Besides, if the Celtics think they have one more run in them they won't kill themselves to do that great in the regular season. Edit: Bloops, realized I forgot Miami/Chicago. I guess I'd put the Celtics in that group battling out for 3-5 seeds. Atlanta and Milwaukee behind them with Orlando and Cleveland up top. Edit 2: I could definitely see a scenario where the top 6 or so teams in the East end up with 50+ wins.
-
But what do you do long-term to win a championship? Hope you can get Melo next year? Or do you think Rose/SG/Deng/Boozer/Noah is good enough? Hope Rose turns into a superstar, get lucky (I would call getting Melo lucky), or being able to pawn off Deng's deal for something good when the time comes. With Rose and Noah's extensions coming up and the new CBA this is kind of a use it or lose it situation.
-
That wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. We'd still have money to get a shooter and there won't be any new powerhouses being formed in the East. Cleveland will be about the same and Miami will be better--not overwhelming--but very thin. New York won't be good. I think the Bulls would battle with the Heat for a 3 seed if that went down.
-
If we're talking offseason pickups in general Jay Cutler is by far the biggest.
-
Michael Lewis needs to write a book about this.
-
Well whatever it is the Cavs don't have it.
-
It might be true. Cleveland's roster is as good as it's going to get right now. Their cap situation is pretty grim over the next few years, so there's not much room for improvement. LeBron should know this, too. obviously there are no guarantees, but really, if he goes back to cleveland, winning won't be the primary reason, right? i mean, if he didnt have ties to cleveland, would they even be in the discussion anymore? that being said, i still think he resigns with the cavs. He's consistently won 60 games in Cleveland, which is in any given year good enough to contend for a championship. But no, the Bulls are the only path to the one true championship. I realize this is NSBB so these aren't actual humans we're watching but automatons that don't feel pressure or spurious notions of clutch but there is a difference between the regular season and the playoffs. They can't win the in the playoffs with those guys.
-
Someone should do one of those office productivity studies like they reference every time March Madness comes around for the Cleveland, Chicago, New York, and Miami (if they cared) metropolitan areas over the last few days.
-
Can you prove no one knows anything dex so I can stop sitting here like a [expletive] geek refreshing 9000 twitter accounts and RealGM and go out an enjoy a summer holiday weekend?
-
Naw, there's been discussion about it. Mostly people wanting to know Goff's credentials. Now people are freaking out because Bucher says we may not get anyone at all. Maybe Wade's crazy ex-wife will net us Wade and Bosh!
-
Yep, deals can be announced now but signings happen on July 8 at the earliest. AFAIK you can say you're signing somewhere and sign elsewhere after July 8 but I can't remember that happening.
-
Was that ad campaign approved/directed by the Bulls? I'm guessing they were involved to a degree but aren't publicly attaching themselves to it. It's really cool though. Taking out an ad in the Akron newspaper is ice cold.
