He knows the Cavs have to pay him whatever he wants.

 

Risky move but I would think it'll pay off.

 

Get ready for JV costing 5/70 at least

Not an overly efficient player who averages 9/8. That's insanely risky.

Cavs are in such a bad spot with Thompson. Can't let him walk. But $13 million for him is no bueno.

No leverage at all, so they'll end up having to give him whatever they want. Yikes.

If the Cavs give him that contract their cap situation is going to be awful and they will have a really hard time getting better. I wouldn't even pay TT 10 million/year.

Lebron can't bolt again... right?

 

If the cap goes up to 80-90M he's definitely going to command 35-40+ a year so I doubt they receive much relief from the rise.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

It's pretty hard to compete when you're going to have 25+ per year committed to Varejao and Thompson. You cannot give Lebron and Love both max deals after next year. It'll completely cripple them. They need to let Love walk.

[SpeedyGose]

Wiggins to enter Slam Dunk competition, LaVine + KJ next please!

Only Kyrie really has potential left anyway. Lebron is only going to get older and like you said Love is not a max player.

I'd really like to see James Johnson. Just get a video of him kicking the rim and they will add him.

I feel he's a lebron like dunker, much more impressive in game due to the power

[jays_fever]

This game came in my 20 game half season pack at the beginning of the year so I guess im going. Running off of 2 hours of sleep and fully expecting to get kicked out of the arena when some idiot behind me knocks me in the head for some rubber ball give away and I clobber them

 

Has anyone else gone to multiple games the past few years? The non game action noise/volume is ridiculous. Like no kidding Toronto has one of the loudest arena's in the NBA, the stereo is f***ing blasting and people are shouting for free dollar store items all game

Yeah but powerful dunks still look great in the dunk contest. VC dunks were great because of the force he used when he dunked. (Not comparing JJ to VC by any means)

Went to the OKC game this year and couldn't believe how loud it was. Like it was so loud it probably deters parents from bringing kids.

Hope they lose to the sixers tonight for the lols.

[burlingtonbandit]

Lol they're 17 point favs. Thats one of the highest I've seen all year for any team.

[dineke]

Welp they're going to win by 20 and everyone will say it's because Demar came back.

[Orgfiller]

You're such a great fan.

[Orgfiller]

JV gets f***ed over so much.

[burlingtonbandit]

IF Amir caught that that would of been such a nice play.

[burlingtonbandit]

His complaining probably doesn't help him get calls

[dineke]

Let's go Sixers!

The Raptors are a bad team.

[burlingtonbandit]

The Raptors are a bad team.

 

They're a good team in the East. Not sure what people expected coming into the season...

[dineke]

You only need 5 guys who can dribble a basketball for more than 5 seconds without losing it to be a good team in the east.

[burlingtonbandit]

Devlin has gotten to the point where every 3 point shot is from "x" random Canadian City.

lol whats your point? Raps going into the season were a top 4 team in the East. Raps at this point in the season area top 4 team in the East and will be at the end of the season as well.

[Orgfiller]

Hansbrough totally seems like the kind of guy to have blocked his own dunk attempt at least once.

 

By that I mean getting blocked by the rim.

[burlingtonbandit]

f*** Vasquez doesn't pull on the trigger on an open 3 with 31 sec on the clock in the Q. Perfect 2 for 1 instead holds it for a shittier shot.

I was thinking that too, the one time he doesn't shoot it. Odds of getting a better look on that possession is quite low
