2014-2015 NBA Off Season, Draft, Free Agency

    I'll take Parsons over Ariza easily. But the salaries match up with that, so I don't think anyone can really complain, as long as Houston uses the leftover cash to upgrade their front court.

    Yeah that's kind of my point. I certainly would want Parsons for more than next year, but I don't think Ariza is a bad alternative if they spend the rest wisely.

    I really liked the Pierce to the Wizards. That's a relatively young team that could really benefit from a (HOF?) guard.

    I wonder if Melo and Bosh staying with their teams has anything to do with them not being crazy about the idea of playing Kobe and Dwight Howard.

    Thanks for having my back on that. What a weirdo for looking for that stuff, that's some grade A creeper behavior.

    KB already nailed it, Jason Williams was my favorite player of all time. I watched him at Florida, in Sacramento, Memphis, Miami and Orlando. That is one of the weirdest things ever done on here and that's saying a lot.

I was looking for the post where he claimed to be have always been a heat fan back in 2010 when I called him out for being a jock sniffer to LBJ (Jpake and him went on and on about how they've always been heat fans, etc...) since he's def going to try and join the Cavs bandwagon this season.I can already see him saying, "I'm a fan of the game and always been a fan of LBJ" bs. Search of Robj55 heat fan returned that. Thanks for trying though.
    I'm not hopping on any bandwagon, I have always followed Lebron's career since high school(we were in the same class) and he is my favorite player currently to watch. I'm an Ohio guy through and through, born and raised here and have a lot of pride about that. Sorry that you can't accept that.

    I can't tolerate the NBA too much but love the displayed athleticism and great offensive and defensive plays/schemes. The refs and the acting by the players makes it hard for me to enjoy. I too root for players more than franchises. I won't watch a ton but will pull for Cleveland more than others. It's insane they haven't won a professional championship since the Jim Brown years. Too much heartbreak when they've had great teams. I sure as hell don't want the Browns to be the team to do it. I'll pull for the Indians in a WS unless they were facing the Reds and I'll pull for the Cavs over everyone. Hopefully LeBron coming home works out a hell of a lot better than when KGJ did. I also gave always like Kyrie's game and AV is a must like. I hope they don't trade Wiggins....he'll really make it fun to watch if he does what I think he will.

    Ariza always seems to perform better in those contract years

    @WojYahooNBA: Free agent forward Luol Deng has agreed to a two-year, $20 million deal with the Miami Heat, league source tells Yahoo Sports.
  • Mulva
    Wow. So much for the Hayward and Parsons deals driving prices up.

    Should make the Heat a 4-6 seed in the East.

    Hard to put the Heat anywhere lower than 4. Indiana is pretty much an unknown as well.

    Or a #12 seed in the west
  • Pick6
    IDk. I'd see the heat closer to 4 if Wade could stay healthy, but it isn't going to happen. I say 6-8 seed. Good for the Cavs. I was a fan of Deng, but he played like dog shit in his time with the Cavs. Decent signing, but not that impressed.
  • Pick6
    I'm going Cavs, Bulls, Pacers, Raptors, and Wiz above the Heat for sure.

    Why? Wade sucks and will miss half the season. Bosh isn't a shot creator and will struggle without another super star grabbing attention and passing him the ball. Deng? He isn't that great.

    JVG said the Heat could win 50 games. I am not sure if I can see that.

    Sounds 6-10 high to me, but the East

    Damn, DC:

    Quite a reach to call that "DC." Kevin Durant is the only guy that can make that claim.

    Meaning DC as in the Wizards, not necessarily all their hometowns. That's a pretty damn good team, though. Chicago's is pretty legit too.

    Well then you can't even put Lebron on the Cavs.

    I didn't read the link. Makes more sense now.

    Just hate when people outside of DC try to say they are from DC.
  • wildcats20
    Yeah it's pretty much just home state.
  • lhslep134
    If I was a Milwaukee fan I would definitely buy this.
