2014 NBA Off-season Thread: The Summer of the Opt-Out

[Abandon]

i give it 20 minutes before the bosh to houston announcement is made

[Abandon]

also, lol @ aki

[Akiyama]

oh

I'd have gone back to quote it myself once Lebron finishes his career without another title. (You can quote this too I suppose if he does win one lol)

I'm not even mad though. It's awesome he's going back. My distaste for him came when he went to Miami the way he did, but at least he didn't do a decision thing this year to say he's going back. Wish him the best of luck, even though I don't think it's a good plan. :<

The bad news is now the Rockets will get better.

Can't wait to see Miami fans faces when they show up for the first game of the season and wonder where LeBron James is.

[Akiyama]

also lol @ me ;; Cleveland now is somehow better than Cleveland pre-Lebron due to Kyrie so he does have more of a chance to do things..and if Kevin Love follows. If not though, we gonna see some burned Lebron jerseys being donned? :O

[TummieGaruda]

Expect a bunch of transactions now that LeBron made his 2.0 decision.

fucking lol dimmy

As for Klove, he wants to follow... fuck if he can its gonna be stupid.

[Xajii]

Melo was always about the money. He wasn't moving and I hate to break it to cavs fans LeBron ain't leaving Miami

I have not been a huge fan of the NBA in general and have only followed closely very recently, but from what I can tell, it's not any worse of a plan than staying in Miami would have been? Cleveland may not be winning the title this season but they have a strong chance to build a winning team in 2 years at least. On the other hand the Big 3 set-up was starting to fail and it will only look worse if you kept trying the same thing.

I wonder if Wiggins will actually be moved though

Remember that time when Cleveland had a chance and had plenty of time to build around LeBron before? That's my point. Cleveland teams just.. are poorly run, and I don't know how he thinks it's really gonna change or anything. :< But hey, maybe things will be better for them.

So I follow Michelle Beadle on the twitters (lol) and she just said

Michelle Beadle ‏@MichelleDBeadle 4m If I'm Johnny Manziel, I'm having an orgy on Lebron's lawn, all Caligula style. Because he's got the invisibility cloak for the time being.


So true LOL

Time for the Rockets to sign Bosh to the max, and then dump Lin's contract and match Chandler Parsons' deal.

[archibaldcrane]

I'm going to fucking lol if the Heat refuse to sign Wade and go into tank mode this season with more cap space than god.

[Mertron]
