33% is not good...

He's a career 35% shooter. His second year in the league he shot 37% on just under 6.5 attempts.

Also, shot 37% on catch & shoot last season and 39% in 14-15. Having a down shooting year, which coukd probably be tied to the guards he's playing with.

He' absolutely get a boost playing next to Love, Bron, and Irving. Would be a perfect fit. I think he can be had.

I think what will likely happen is that Melo will get bought out and D Wade will opt out. Good chance one or both will be on the team next year. We are not going to trade Love, Kyrie or TT ...we wont get anyone better in return for them...We are not that far off from the Warriors. We really need to focus on youth and defense from the bench and dump some dead weight

You can forget about Wade opting out. No way does he pass up almost $24 million. No other team is going to offer him that as an UFA.

Yep.. His plan is very likely to opt-in, wait for the Bulls to disintegrate, and get a post-deadline buy-out so that he can join the Cavs and play on Chicago's money. That'd be my guess.

Not even Wade would help right now unless we never played him till crunch time. Plus money is what all this is about, We get to watch people making millions and get mad or praise them. At least in sports unlike Hollywood they have to play physical. I feel we will devolve back in to days of Rome at this point. Nothing feels real other than the birds I see living a life I wish I could live.
 
1st PG is not coming here

He's a competitor that as a #1 option has faced multiple battles against the king in the playoffs. He won't join him that's something pussies do

So it has to be someone that hasn't battled against the king in the postseason

Sadly we now all die in a fire. Life sucks.
 
Paul George's Twitter bio has "I'll tell you when I land" for location.

land... "The Land"

PG13 is a gamer. Period. He tends to take it slow during the season, but every year he has been in the playoffs, he has balled out. One more guys like that in addition to Kyrie & Lebron could go a long way. Hopefully Lil Kev is still here to see it.

Right. And KD tweeted about everybody wanting to join the Heat and "go at these peoples".

As it gets later in a player's career they'll take a look around and realize just how much help they'll need to win. It's easy to say "I'm a competitor, I don't need help" when your 24 and have yet to enter the prime of your career, but as these guys get older they gain a little more perspective and take a look at the landscape in the nba right now, he'll realize that his best option to win a title, his ONLY option to win a title, is CLE... otherwise it's going to be GSW for the foreseeable future.
 
Just my speculation, but if the Paul George inquiry hits a dead-end, I think we'll start seeing package deals in which Tristan Thompson and likely Kyrie are the best and worst asset in the deal while you get multiple players back.

Just throwing some ideas out to illustrate my point....but something like:

TT and Kyrie for Mike Conley and Marc Gasol
TT and Kyrie for Chris Paul and DeAndre Jordan
TT and Kyrie for Cousins and Jrue Holiday

Cavs can still become a "big 4" by bringing back 2 high level players while TT goes out.

I'm also going to keep an eye on Paul Millsap.....he'd be an interesting "sign and trade" target with Thompson being a part of that move.

Kyrie is LeBron's running mate...did you hear him tell Kyrie "We'll be back?" He knows that in order to take care of business he needs Kyrie alongside him. He isn't going anywhere.

No team is trading for Mike Conley's horrible contract.

Two career losers in Paul and Jordan aren't coming here.

Atlanta isn't trading for Tristan Thompson when they already overpaid for useless Dwight Howard.

Come on now.

Atlanta has no choice in the Paul Millsap fiasco....they missed their window to trade him for assets last trade deadline, and then he declined his $21.4 million player option for next season.

So unless Atlanta wants zero in return for him, they'd need to do a "sign and trade". If Millsap tells ATL he's going to Cleveland, Atlanta would take back Thompson in a heartbeat because otherwise they get nothing. It'd actually be mutually beneficial for the Cavs and Hawks (Cavs open up some financial space by sending out TT, and Cavs get a floor-spacing big who can play next to Love and LeBron in the front-court without clogging the paint up). Cavs may have to add a player to make salaries match but it makes sense.
 
Is anybody interested in why Rudy Gay opted out of his contract coming off the worst basketball injury?

Do you think teams offer him a boatload?

Is it possible LeBron pulls a Draymond and convinces him to join Cavs for the whatever money we can create? A. Does he want to to win? B. Does he want $$ and lose(or lose when it matters most)

Rudy Gay > Iggy

come take our tax exception Rudy, please, please, please.
