And nice retort to Chuck's dismantling of your bad opinion....I guess.

And us real fans will wait as long as it takes. Hinkie has been upfront since the beginning about it being a long, arduous process. There will be plenty of room for you to hop back on the wagon in a few years when they're one of the best defensive teams in the league and add a bonafide scorer or two.

I respect Chuck and I think he knows that. Legler and Chris B discussed MCW being on the trade block last week and how rare it would be to trade a ROY the next year.

The ESPN guys just stir the pot with less than factual rumors to create "news" that they can report on and create content for their 5 channels and radio outlets. Virtually every NBA player is on the trade block all the time with few very notable exceptions.

Hell it looks like J Kidd is going to be traded to Milwaukee and he isnt even a player anymore

Also the fact that Saric got on a plane to take part in the draft and then stayed just to take part in the Sixers introductory press conference shows that he wont be staying in Turkey for long. Not to mention how big he looks especially compared to Grant who measured 6'8" at the combine. Perhaps it is just the angle but he looks closer to 7 feet and has SF skill level. What if he closer to Dirk than Turkoglu?

Again it might not work, Embiid and Noel might never be 100% again, Saric might get stuck over in Euroleagues, a lot of stuff needs to happen to make this a success story but at the very least it is an interesting way of trying to build a team from the absolute ground up.

The potential is huge though
A very quiet acquisition is Pierre Jackson who won't be an NBA star because of his size but who absolutely blitzed the D league last year and looks like a Patty Mills type of instant offense off of the bench.

I'm sure it's someone high-ranking within the Cavs origination.

He think it's a done deal.

He says if it doesn't happen, or it falls through...it's because Lebron jerked off the Cavs and suddenly changed his mind.

The guy has spent 40+ years covering sports, and has been on the air in Cleveland for a long time.

His Rolodex isn't as impressive with horse racing, as it is with Cleveland Sports. He always calls on Mike Watchmaker to come on his show whenever he talks horse racing.

Brooklyn must feel like they hit the lottery, get rid of Kidd plus acquire two draft picks and then hire Lionel Hollins as his replacement. Talk about a having few good days.

With Lowry deciding to stay in Toronto and Collison going to Sacramento, that might put Miami in play for Thomas to come play point there. He's restricted.

Thomas will likely be too expensive. He hasnt made squat so you know he is looking for the best deal he can make. Not to mention you'd have to think Sacramento will be looking to do a sign and trade as oppose to letting him walk for nothing. Miami literally nothing to trade back.
