Looks like deng to heat. I like it. Need defensive minded three in the east to guard Lebron, George and melo. Closing in on deals with wade, Haslem and birdman. If boozer makes it to us in waivers he could be a great piece. I like what Riley has done in the wake of losing bron

Are mcroberts and granger still going there?

Yes. Miami is waiting to figure out if they are using the MLE and biannual exceptions to sign them or going the route of fitting them into the cap. Depends on deng and whoever else they sign.

man, gasol in CHI makes sense. good for him. he's still a great player on offense and having noah by him should be fine on defense. man, i love how the bulls are looking. I seriously hope Rose comes back fully healthy and they threaten for the title next year...really love how that lineup is shaking up.

Rose hasn't been able to stat healthy for two years, A BIG hope for Chi fans. They have a great coach and solid team but need him healthily to be real contenders.

Thing is with Rose he's had a couple of freak knee injuries. Before that he was healthy so I think we have to see how he does this year before just assuming he can't stay healthy.

Typically the start of a pattern but with the east being so weak, I am pulling for him to be 100% healthy. We need good teams in the east.

If it happens again I'll agree. Chicago was a good team last year without Rose but with what they've added they could be a great team. I agree with you though I want him to stay healthy.

I would say right now, it looks like Miami might actually be putting a better roster together than Cle will have. If it takes Wiggins to get Love, they gotta do it. I'm surprised Allen and Miller haven't made their decision if they will go to Cle yet. I assume Chalmers will stay too?

is the Chi roster even up to date? A few of those guys are FA's, but I don't see any news of them resigining with Chi.

 

[The Josh]

It's not totally up to date.

Deng is official. Chalmers and birdman coming back too

It's also official he'll never win a championship, but he'll have lots of money to ease that pain, lol!

But couldn't the Cavs just wait it out until Love becomes a free agent? Wiggins would look really good as a potential "Pippen" if he develops with LeBron tutoring him.

Miami is starting to look pretty solid with the addition of Deng. Was a big Bosh fan when he was with the Raps, and I think that he'll work out well as the first option. I know the Raps have been talking to Blatche, but I think he's be a good fit for the Heat for cheap.

they could wait, but it's not like Love has said Cle is defn where he wants to be, so everyone will be gunning for him. It's risky when Love is a sure thing, and Wiggins is just pure potential. Right now, looks like Cle is the 4 best team in the East on "paper". We know Lebron is capable of taking them to the top, but we will have to see how much better he really makes them. The Heat reconstructed themselves very well. They are old, but have tons of veterans who have been to the big show.

I never wanted Love for Wiggins swap. I like Monroe from Pistons he could be had cheaper gives options at 4 / 5. Not as consistent as Love but can play inside and outside and wouldn't have to give up Wiggins.
