Does Cleveland have cap space for anyone else if they sign LeBron? Irving is a great player, but everyone else is young.

I actually just saw a segment on ESPN about how they could pull it off. They could actually get the cap space to sign him to a max deal rather easily.

It turns out that Derrick Rose was not a part of the Chicago Bulls' pitch to Carmelo Anthony after all.

Rose, Chicago's star point guard, happened to be in the middle of his daily workout routine when Bulls officials brought Anthony into the United Center on Tuesday afternoon, according to sources with knowledge of the situation.

Rose actually was surprised to see Anthony, one source said. He had no idea what time the Knicks' free agent would be visiting the Bulls.

Derrick Rose just happened to be at the United Center when Carmelo Anthony visited Tuesday and wasn't part of the team's official presentation to the free agent, sources told ESPN.com.
Rose broke up his workout to approach Anthony and said a brief hello, but that was the extent of his participation in the Bulls' recruitment.

Chicago took Anthony through a prepared recruitment presentation for Anthony, and Rose's impression was that teammates Joakim Noah and Taj Gibson were officially part of it, sources said.

But the Bulls' front office never asked Rose to join in.

I think the Cavs would rather part with Dion Bennett and their 3 1st round picks in 15 before getting rid of Wiggins.

would they have enough cap space to get both love and lbj? the segment on espn made it seem wiggins gone would be necessary

33 Mil on the books before Irvings max and wiggins signing.

They could clear money by umping gee/varejao/hopson and trading jack.

So yeah they could afford it

That would be about 9-10m. Jarret Jack needs to get moved and that frees up another 6-7m. Andy has a 3m buyout which would take another 7m off the books. There's also a few guys that can be cut to free up space.

I think LeBron would want them to keep Varejao considering they are former teammates

What would wiggins play if you guys got LBJ?

Try him at the 2?

It would be intersting to see how they'd play together.
