I can't see Pau Gasol in OKC. Someone has to pass him the ball, aint gonna be Westbrook...I see him in maybe, Chicago, but more better....the Spurs

Was OKC struggling to score points? With OKC I'd rather keep Perkins.

Lakers are in trouble....lord have mercy. Kobe gets $50 mill and is not so healthy, they have 3 players under contract, get ready for the pain over the next decade.....

The level of play isn't dependent on how well the Lakers are doing.

The Thunder struggle mightily to score points outside the big two and ibaka. Those 3 need to get 75 a game. It gets you so far but not all the way. They will never win a championship w perk as their starting center. Adams is good but young. Gasol would be fantastic but really don't see it all coming together. Lots of moving parts and dollars!

Im just saying, like when the Yankees are good, it just adds to the equation. Having LA good again, it adds to the excitment. Would be nice to have NY good, but....that could be a while

I think Gasol needs someone to pass him the ball, right now, that's not OKC's game

Who would they pass to now? Perkin? Thabo? Its a three man show. Westbrook has monster assist games. Its too easy to label him selfish. He pulled off that unheard of stat line in conf finals. He was more effective at times than KD down the stretch. They have too much pressure on 3,players and too many one way players in support.

Not a shocker on melo. Must feel Phil and Fish can get something done. Eventually.

Bosh offered $22 mill for 4 years by Rockets - could reach $90 mil by end. Miami offering him $12 by reports and he wants at least $17 to stay. I'd be headed "north" to Houston!
You gotta do it. Take the money and run, Houston might be formidable, with Howard, Harden and Bosh. Although, I don't think Bosh is that good....but he might fit into that system..

Will today be the day when the chips start to fall? LJ to Cleveland? Mello back to Knicks? Bosh to Rockets? Someone make a deal for Love?
When Lebron pulls the trigger then things should start taking shape. People in Cleveland think he's coming. Johnny Fball and Lebron in same city?

I'm not saying anything, or reporting on what I've read or heard, until its over. Good lord....so much speculation, I'm getting nuts....
I just hope we make a good deal with Ariza, although I think the Wizards will lose him or worse, overpay him...
Personally, I just don't see how Miami can pull this off. So they sign Wade, Bosh and Lebron, what else do they have and how much money will they spend ?

How about this - Cleveland cleared cap space on roster for Lebron and J. Jack goes to Nets. With that signing the Nets will pay $91 million in luxury tax! That isn't their salary total that is just the TAX. Nice to be a Russian billionaire. That is more than most teams salary total. Crazy.
Rockets going to have to decide on matching the Mavs offer sheet to Parsons .

91 million in luxury taxes to be the 3rd, 4th, or 5th seed in the East.

That is peculiar that Cleveland did that, and, sent a 1st round pick. Is Lebron going back to Cleveland? Would be the sports story of the century....
