I certainly hate to question W&G and dont want to burst everyone's enthusiasm.... but wasnt it reported that the Nets offered Devin Harris, the #3 pick, and taking on a bad contract for CP3 and it was turned down?
Can we really beat that offer?
It's time to end all of the Chris Paul speculation that grew like wildfire over the past few days. The Hornets did receive a few calls about Paul, but a very good source in New Orleans tells me they aren't trading him. Owner George Shinn may want to save cash, but he can't part with with his franchise cornerstone.
Screw Paul. I want Bosh.
Let's try not to get too excited right now. I just wanted to clear something up:
W&G never said that a trade was going to get done, or that a trade was close to getting completed. All he said was that we are trying harder than ever to make a big splash & overturn our roster. He did not guarantee anything.
Yes, I know he said we have some trades on the burners, but let's understand that it takes 2 to tango & anyone can change their minds at anytime. He also didn't specifiy that it would be on draft day.
I just wanted people to go back & really read his post, so they won't get too overly excited that a deal will get done, only to be disappointed if it doesn't.

If people don't understand this by now- namely, that W&G's musings don't indicate shit will instantly be coming to fruition- then they are frankly very dumb.
Will never forget Safari Blue Balls 2.0. Never.
I agree with you, but I'm pretty sure people are going to be disappointed if a deal doesn't get done anyway because of...well, the implications it will likely have.Let's try not to get too excited right now. I just wanted to clear something up:

.When I wrote the above about four months ago, I had no idea how close the reality would play out. It truly was wild speculation at that point. But, the coming days will be very key to how the future plays out for the Cavaliers.
As many that know me know now, I'm really not tied close to the day to day goings on with the team, but do get wind of many things through other channels. The team is more active than at any time in trying to reconfigure the roster, and bring a big name in ... along with that also options that get us into the draft in a variety of ways.
Lebron wants to stay in Cleveland, he truly does ...but, the team has to have some strong success in finally getting the team around him that he covets. We have big trade options on the burner that could answer many of his concerns. Hopefully , for the sake of the franchise, I hope they are successful in getting done what they need to.
But then how are people supposed to get all unnecessarily hyped up, and then blame W&G when all the glorious scenarios they've planned out don't actually end up happening?
