2014 Nba Off Season Thread

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

You ever heard the term, where there's smoke there's fire?

Just two days before the NBA draft, the Cleveland Cavaliers are split on whether to takeJabari Parker or Andrew Wiggins with the top overall pick, multiple sources told ESPN.com.

"They are torn," one source close to the situation told ESPN.com. "They met for three hours, and all they talked about was those two guys."

Oh look there's smoke coming from EVERYWHERE

The Pistons have ended trade talks that would have sent Josh Smith to Sacramento, according to Jonathan Givony of DraftExpress.com.

A deal was reportedly discussed for a few days, but it's now "dead" after Detroit pulled the plug on Tuesday morning. The Kings may have been trying to acquire Smith with a package including Jason Thompson, Derrick Williams and an expiring contract, so it's not surprising that the Pistons didn't bite, but this doesn't mean that Smoove won't be shopped around for better offers.

oh well smooth is definitely gone. good luck with that contract.

So the pistons don't realize that they over paid for smoove and that the kings offer was as good as it gets.

Ok so

Favors
burk
5
23

Vs

Affalo
4
12

Someone tell me why is wrong for thinking the Jazz deal is way better and so what if favors contract is high it's manageable and the cavs aren't signing any free agents.

The Cavs really have some good deals on the table. Can't lose either way.

Cavs want a big who can defend and a wing who can shoot + defend.

Embiid + Afflalo + #12 pick > Wiggins

And its not even close. Rumors about the Cavs the trading out the first pick started surfacing the moment Embiid's injury went public.

Put two and two together.

Sixers really bout it, bout it

Talk basketball or get that wack shyt outta here.

What's your point?

They are playing hardball this year in the draft teams acting like they are drafting players they aren't having there medical record...Offering trades for the first pick but saying they'll take the player the team covers if they don't accept the trade.

If I'm the cavs gm I have favors, burk on the way to town and I'm trying to figure out my top 3 for number 5 but I'd take any of the top 3 if they fell (Embiid).

I see what you're saying but I don't think Embiid makes it out the top 4

I see your on the Orlando Bandwagon I'm on the Utah Bandwagon.

Do you think the magic are really taking Embiid over Smart/Vonleah/Gordon?

I see too much value as Favors gives them an interior presence burks can shoot on the wing....and if Embiid did drop to 5 we'd come away like fat cats.

Of course... Embiid over the three you mentioned. No brainer.

Also think its a moderate chance Philly takes Embiid.

All you're doing is finding any lil rumor that suits your agenda and running with it like it's gospel. When the contrary (that they'll end up picking Parker or Wiggins), has been thrown out there more than these 'rumors' you speak of.
