Remember that one time in the Summer of 2014 when the Suns landed a meeting with LeBron's agent (not LeBron, just his agent) and the team sold it as this huge deal? lol

If LeBron leaves, the Cleveland wrath will be on Gilbert this time, not LeBron.

If Lebron leaves Cleveland again, I assume it wouldn't reach The Decision levels of rage but would it be worse than KD leaving OKC?

Nothing will ever be worse than KD joining Golden State because he was an MVP-tier player who left his team to join a 70-win team that was his main rival.

I'm sorry but I don't think anything like that will ever happen again in our lifetime.

Cavs should go all in this season, try to get a 4th star somehow, even if it means giving up picks that will be high lottery. We will never have this chance again. Also, when Lebron leaves, we can dump JR and Sjumpert in the Kyrie deal and probably get a nice pick back too. Too bad no FA's will sign here with Gilbert around so whatevs. Those picks will be the new Nets picks. Such is life without Lebron.

The only way to get a star without giving up a Big 3 piece is to trade unprotected picks in 21' and later, or get an idiot to trade for our garbage players.

The picks they've given away over the next few years have protections in case the Cavs get bad again. Another reason Griffin is a cool dude.

I don't know that I like CP3 in Houston. I don't think it helps getting the ball out of Harden's hands when you don't really have other weapons that CP3 could use all that well.

Love Griffin or Millsap in Houston though.

the chris paul idea makes sense in this context https://theringer.com/nba-free-agency-chris-paul-houston-5cecc069ad2c

which trimmed down more or less is the argument that the warriors are so good and unstoppable the only way to beat them is try something incredibly absurd and nba breaking. I think Morey basically agrees with that and thats where the idea of shooting 5 million 3s comes from. I dunno if it would actually work but given Morey's mindset chasing chris paul to try to put him beside harden sounds exactly like a thing he would do.

The Nets also had the 22nd pick. Magic and Pelinka suck at negotiating so much, they couldn't get the Nets to throw in the 22nd instead of the 27th pick

In exchange for signing Hayward and costing his son the election, Danny agrees to endorse him in any mayoral race in a city of no more than 10k people and his position as president of the book club. His son will also get to pick the location of the next family Christmas as long as the temperature of the location is not below a certain point
