There you have it folks. things could still change but this should be as good as DONE

At least the two #1 picks and Canadians get to play together.

Great managerial work by the wolves FO on this...and Bennett could still be on the move Murdoc as he's rumored to be goinig to Philadelphia.

Cavaliers are gonna be tough to beat out East.

Wow what a steal by the Wolves capitalizing on LBJ's lack of patience.
So his whole "I'm coming home" tirade about being patient and helping the kids grow was just another publicity stunt. So here's to building another younger "Big 3". :ifyouknow:
Damn I hate him more and more lol.

lebron for executive of the year lol

do guys think wolves should have bit on the thompson, barnes, and lee deal or this wiggins one is better

the GS deal is way better imo

down the road its very hard to say though, who knows what kind of players wiggins and bennett will become

Maybe I'm wrong but I don't think the GS offer was klay,Barnes,AND lee. That's what the wolves would want but I'm sure I recall it was klay and lee plus something else. Then they didn't want to trade klay and offered lee, Barnes and green. .

Also Bennett will be traded to 76ers for Thaddeus young so it was pretty much him and wiggins for love which isn't too damn bad. They can also flip Thad young by deadline day to continue their build

Lol someone on espn paid for this billboard to be posted in Ohio lol.

Who cares if Lebron has Love and Kyrie, It's not like its a guarantee championship. Either way, James will bring his game no matter what. I dont understand all this hate " i hate him more and more " shit.

Look at KD, Westbrook, IBAKA, how about CP3, Blake, DeAndre, plus Jamal Crawford. Rose, Gasol and Noah?.......

It's all fun and games to pin point shit man. And how can you even bring up those players as a comparison to thhe cavs trying to make their big 3. Pretty much all of those players or "big 3" u mentioned were drafted by that specific team and been playing with the same team since then Except cp3 and gasol while Jcraw isn't really a big 3 calibre but a solid 6th man.

Basically I was saying I don't like the way he handles himself. There's no denying he's got talent, easily the best player in the NBA right now.

Like this excerpt on which the ink isn't even dry on the page yet.
Now here is behind the scenes pulling all the strings demanding that they go all out to get Love, even sacrificing the THREE 1st overall picks. They could have easily waited until he was a FA next season, but noooo it's ALL ABOUT BRONBRON and what he wants now.
Testing his patience?!... :fuckthatshit: his patience lasted less than a full calender month.

I'll admit the whole "I'm taking my talents to south beach" still lingers in the back of my mind. Then he semi-redeemed himself by writing that piece about going home, although it was obviously heavily "sweetened" by a dozen editors before final print.
He stresses the point about patience and helping the young guys, then turns the corner and demands the front office dump all of them cuz he wants to be contending. Such a sleezeball.

I don't get all the Lebron hate for wanting all-stars on his team. I get the "decision" hate some of which is justified, but him wanting the best players all-stars on his team why not. Sure past greats like MJ, Reggie etc all stayed loyal to their team but they also had the benefit of having a first class organization that was able to surround them with the right pieces through the draft/trades etc. CEOs of multinational companies pull the same stuff Lebron is doing, they'll take the sure talent/worker over the rookie who may or may not pan out. Same thing with him leaving for Miami, I get it would you rather work in City A where you'll have to carry more of the load not a sure thing or City B share the work load with 2 other friends while getting paid the same amount if not more through raises/sponsorships all while having warm weather year round. People make career choices for themselves/ their families all the time, just because Lebron is an athlete he should be held to a different standard? I get it athletes will make more money in a year than normal people would make in a lifetime, but the similarities are human beings base decisions about their livelihood/career about themselves being in the best possible situation. Hell Kobe took the money while Dirk took the discount but both those guys choose familiarity with their organizations over the unknown.

I get it, but don't go around preaching patience and wanting to mentor the young kids then all of a sudden dump them at the first chance he gets. It just doesn't sit well with me.

Example: If you were a school teacher, and you make a pubic promise to the parents that you will tutor their children until they graduate and help them get good at math, then 1 week later some Doogie Howser shows up at class and tells you "Hey kick these kids to the Wolves (literally) and I'll be your partner for the next few years so you don't have to train these kids"

What do you do? I know what LBJ would do.

Its most unlikely for the team to draft any top players with Lebron playing for them. They are not gonna suck and tank like Sixers did when you've got the best player in the world on your roster.

Lebron did leave Wiggins and Bennett of the essay/letter on purpose.

Derrick Rose's knees are acting up already. Says it's sore from the exhibition games playing for Team USA.
Makes you wonder if he'll be able to hold up for the 82-game season grind ... :(

Is D-Rose the next Brandon Roy?

No....Grant Hill, if anything...

Penny? Grant = ankles
Penny = knees ?

Yeah, Penny, my bad

Brandon Roy never won MVP.

It's FINALLY official lol


Twolves looks pretty solid IMO

Rubio/Wiggins/Brewer/Young/Pekovic..... Martin/Bennett/Dieng/Budinger/Cunningham/Barea

Anyone down for fantasy ball again this year?
