It wasn't random, I was making a joke at your obvious risk aversion, by taking the sure thing when it clearly won't beat the market (ie, this team, with Asik, will never even make it to the finals).


I was merely justifying the moves of the front office. There's two sides to every story.

That's certainly possible. But 1) I have to think if they wanted it done "immediately" it's so they can use it which means signing LeBron, and 2) Woj has been pretty noncommital on this story so far. "Cap space is clear now." surely is a reference to LeBron.

Also, I'm not sure how he's connected to CAA (sports agency), but an MSBer claims to have gotten a text in the last half hour from CAA saying Bosh is going to Houston.

Cavs pressed Celtics/Nets officials to complete paperwork on 3-way trade in last hour, needed it done "immediately." Cap space is clear now.

This looks like the first information from a reliable source that points to LeBron to Cleveland, which of course means Bosh to Houston.

The TWolves aren't trading Love right now unless they get Wiggins, and the Cavs are trading Wiggins for Love unless it also means LeBron.

A piece of mine is their too, but she is at least finished up and working

She was a bigger hit to my portfolio than 2008.

I really hope we don't trade Rivers. That would essentially amount to trading our first round pick 4 years in a row for jrue and asik


1. Minnesota's pick
2. 10th picks rarely become impact players

I think Rivers breaks out this year as a solid contributer, and passes Gordon in the rotation.


I'll believe it when I see it.

An increase of 9% doesn't count as significant improvement? He also improved about the same amount at the basket, yes he's still unacceptably bad at it, but the improvement was not insignificant. All I'm saying is that I see potential there for him to be a solid combo guard, so while he clearly isn't untradable, he also isn't something you just throw away to make cap space.

The four drafts preceding 2012, when Austin was picked, these were the 10th selections:

2011: jimmer fredet (followed by klay Thompson)
2010: Paul George
2009:Brandon Jennings
2008: brook Lopez

I'm not sure what your definition of rarely, or impact player is, but there is almost always starting caliber talent at the 10th pick.

And no, Austin was our pick, AD was sterns gift to Benson.

Houston isn't going to match Chandler Parsons' sheet. They will, however, sign Chris Bosh. LeBron James will return to Cleveland.

More and more people starting to close in on the same info. Too much smoke, it seems.

With it going down this way, two teams in our division actually get better. This division is absolutely insane. Toughest in sports, imo.

Divisions barely even matter in the NBA, but you are right it has been the best division for like 7-8 years easily.

It matters because we have to play everyone in our division 4 times.
