  Shut me up with stories that arent speculation that says he won't be back. See how easy that is? Its all speculation. From what I have seen, especially with his subtle little hints, I think there is a decent chance he comes back. If you care enough to do some reading on it, then go ahead.

  What if salary was based on actual performance?

  Cavs offer Bynum 2 years, $24 million.
• Pick6

  

  Article on Yahoo saying the Cavs offered Bynum 2 yr, 24 million. Dont buy it unless Lloyd reports it.

  Ballsy move by Cleveland. High risk, high reward. But I think it is a good gamble.
• Trueblue23

  

  Worth noting that offer is incentive based.
• Pick6

  

  check that, just saw the second year is a team option. I can buy that.
• SportsAndLady

  

  Bynum better take that deal..not going to get anything better.
  
  I'm not happy it's a 2 year deal, I'd rather it be 1. But I'd rather have him for 2 than 0.

  It's only a gamble on gilbert's check book, which apparently he doesn't give a fuck. Once again jordo doesn't know what he is talking about.

  The same guy who paid luxury taxes on shaqs corpse. Lol doubt he cares about a $12 million chance on a 25 year old two time champion all star.

  Woj is reporting it. Best in the business

  Lloyd reporting the Cavs examined his knee(s).

  Props to the Cavs for taking risks and making some huge upgrades to the roster. Should be a playoff team for sure next year provided everyone stays healthy. No more tanking.

  Jordo talking out of his ass once again, I'm shocked. /sarcasm

  Exactly my point. He has been taking on shitty contracts ever since Lebron left too.

  Dan Gilbert will do anything just to win. That's why everyone loves him. There are not many owners out there that would take on the contracts he did

  Exactly. You will have your occasional dipshit bring up Gilbert's letter after Lebron leave, but other than that you can't deny that Gilbert is doing all he can do to bring a title to Cleveland. Getting Bynum will be huge for the naysayers who said Cleveland will never be able to get a FA after his letter.

  Personally I loved Gilbert's letter after LBJ left. Glad our owner isn't a PC *****.

  My favorite part is his blowing $25+ million just to get the Clippers unprotected draft pick, and lucking out that it turned out to be Kyrie instead of the 8th pick.

  Exactly. Utah just spent $22M on two first rounders from Golden State that'll basically equate to a pick in the 20 range. Can't argue that we've lost a trade in life after LBJ.

  Wayne Ellington signs with Dallas. Not sure if the Cavs were looking to keep him or not...

  With signing jack they more than likely weren't
