Anyone else love this deal? I would do this in a heartbeat.

LOL wow never realized that, thanks for pointing it out. So even if the Knicks do suck this year guess what? No pick for you. Anyway yeah it looks like Sacramento or New York will be the worst team next year.

lol Smitty you love the Sixers rookie every year lol His numbers don't look too impressive in the summer league games and unfortuantely I havn't watched any of the games. They certainly weren't translating to W's though either. Jrue seems like a nice defensive player right now, but his offensive game needs a lot of work.

LeBron would bring back the most in a trade. Team's would have to give up a current all-star, their entire nucleus of young players, and their future first rounders for quite a few years. It would have to be legit young players too, none of that Ryan Anderson bs or stuff like that. I know I would any assortment of players on the Sixers for LeBron James because a superstar of that caliber is just THAT valuable in basketball. Other than the 2004 Detroit Pistons every championship team since 1990 has been built around MJ, Hakeem Olajuwon, Tim Duncan, Shaquille O'Neal, Kobe Bryant. So with one exception every team in basketball to win it all has a top 10 player of all-time on their team. LeBron has the potential which is why he is so valuable at the young age of 24. I am curious to see who you think is more valuable than LeBron whether it be a guy like Sidney Crosby that only plays about 1/3 of the game in hockey, or a a 29 year old like Albert Pujols who's bat is limited to use only 1/9th of the times his team is at the plate. A Basketball Superstar of LeBron's caliber at such a young age is the most valuable thus having the most trade value. Team's would have to trade their entire roster of good players just to stand a chance and even that won't be enough. His trade value is unlimited and sooooo high btw leave it to a Mets fan to use "sexy looks" for one of their players as a reason in this topic.

LeBron James. In Basketball more than any other sport, one individual can make more of an impact. Marketability is a valued trait for people saying otherwise. LeBron is probably the easiest guy to market and he will bring in a ton of profit for your organization which is definetly valued. Not to mention surrounding a guy like LeBron with a bunch of average players makes your team a contender. LeBron's age combined with his skill set, marketability, and sport make this an obvious choice for me. This guy has the potential to be the best ever in his sport. I realize that he would never get traded unless the Cavs had their backs against the wall, but isn't that what it means to be valued most?

He was doing crazy [expletive] like lat raises while hopping on a bosu ball and weird stuff like that. Not going to criticize though as the guy is like 10 times more jacked in person. I say the same thing about Reno Mahe , did you really meet him tho lol

Yeah none are that bad on D. Dampier is actually a decent defensive big and Salmons is ok. Even Melo isn't that bad on D, far from the worst defensive SF in the league. Anyway I say the team makes the playoffs in the East, but not in the West. They finish with one of the 7-8 seeds.

Some guy in this thread took their cellphone and filmed LeBron doing some dunk. I'm sure there were some people holding it out recording crap. There ALWAYS is at some event at every moment And to the Laker fan right above me how do you or that source know exactly what LeBron said to the Nike guy?

14 points in 34 games with a -2 is nothing. That is an average of .4 points per game. If we're trying to get that kind of production we mind as well trim Mike Richards pubes and give them a hockey stick. For a 2nd line RW you need something better than .4 points per game. The guy is way old and only likes playing half the season so he can try and hop on a contender to win the CUP. I don't want him. Shanahan would most likely want 1 million AT LEAST if he was going to play the entire year(and he won't do that). That's not THAT cheap. Shanahan knows his name is well known and your going to have to look for some gems to get the cheapest possibilities.

That wasn't confiscated because a member on here took that video personally. He probably didn't stand out very much seeing as how he didn't have a huge camera set and what not. Which brings us to another point; out of all the people in attendance not one person caught the video on their phone or got a picture? Interesting. Now if you can find an official media source covering an event from any of the 4 years ago you would have yourself a point. Also how do we know LeBron is the one to [expletive] about getting the tapes taken away? Maybe he was talking about something else to the Nike guy? Were the witnesses right there and involved in the conversation? We don't know and there is no proof so no conclusions can be made. I'm not going to take some fat no name cameraman's word above all else

JVR! The heir to Knuble. They should get him playing this year. And I wasn't specifically talking about in our organization, but a FA would be nice as well. I'd rather stay away from some dude that's over 40. I'm tired of injuries. The guy didn't even do anything last year so I don't see what makes people think he's going to be even better when he's only getting older.

Most of the opinions I get would be from sixer fans so I'm seeing what OTR thinks the best jersey to get would be. http://nba.imageg.net/graphics/product_images/p5319083dt.jpg http://images.footballfanatics.com/productImages/_206000/FF_206044_l.jpg or this jersey, but Thad instead of Iggy http://nba.imageg.net/graphics/product_images/p5268403reg.jpg I'm leaning towards one right now, but I just want to see what OTR thinks.

No video, no proof. Who knows if he even dunked on him or if it was one of those lame [expletive]s where he dunked in the same vicinity as LeBron. The camera guys could be making the entire [expletive] up about LeBron asking them to confiscate the tapes too to get their 5 minutes of fame. Noone knows. Was Skip Bayless there? No. Skip Bayless can go suck a fat one because he doesn't know [expletive].

lol my friends sister goes to UNC and had a class with Hansborough before. He told me his sister would say he would just stare off for the entire class and that she thought he was retarded.

Him and Forsberg were an amazing duo when they played together and it was just nasty. Joe Sakic seems to be one of the few remaining big names from the 90s that was still paying. I love seeing guys that play their entire career with one team like Sakic did. Great leader and I wish him luck.

Shanahan is an old penis licker. We don't need his old [expletive] on our team. I'd rather have a young guy get those minutes.

Amare sucked this year because of himself. Shaq had nothing to do with it. The season in which Phoenix acquired Shaq, Amare had the best stretch of his career scoring the ball so you can't blame his struggles solely on Shaq. Dwyane Wade(when Shaq was on the Heat) had an inferior shot to LeBron James of today yet that didn't stop that squad from winning it all. Cleveland's cast is superior to that cast as well. Shaq got 16.5 PPG and 8.5 RPG against Bosto on 63% shooting. Against Orlando he did even better getting 19.0 PPG and 11 RPG while shooting 70% from the field. He also got Dwight in foul trouble pretty well during the games and this year Orlando won't have a Martin Gortat to come in and give them some solid minutes. Their going to have to rely on a scrub to not get owned too badly. Cleveland will take that kind of production against the top Eastern Conference guns in the playoffs this year.

I think the whole point of trading Boozer is to give them more financial flexibility with Millsap. Utah is a smart organization and there's no way they see Tyrus Thomas as better than Millsap.

I like how the only reason pro Devin Harris supporters give is "Rondo has KG, Allen, and Pierce on his team". Seriously. Rondo was the MVP of Boston in the playoffs and as someone who watched all their playoff games. Anyone that watched Rondo in the playoffs can tell he was the one carrying that team and making plays for them. Ray Allen had 13 PPG on 19% shooting from downtown in the Orlando series yet it still went 7 games. Some help. Pierce averaged about 42% shooting in the playoffs as a whole. It was Rondo who kept Boston alive for his long as they were

Wow this might be the worst contract I've ever seen. Varejao does nothing offensively but finish open lay-ups from LeBron and set picks. He isn't even a good defensive player, just a player that hustles a lot and picks up a lot of fouls. This contract is absolutely terrible. Varejao is worth like 4 million a year.

The Giants are like 7 games above .500. Since 2002 they havn't done [expletive], but lose games. They havn't proven anything to rid themselves of the [expletive]ty team label. They could very well be back below .500 if they get into a slump.

Tim Lincecum because I enjoy the last 3 letters of his name. I think I'd rather have him. From my understanding he is a very very good pitcher who plays on a [expletive]ty team. Hamels hasn't looked that great this year and hasn't been at his World Series form yet.

It's because Michael Jordan was that damn good. I'm not sure if you read my post, but Nick Anderson noticed he wasn't up to his usual game and noticed some rustiness. A guy he was playing against. Cooper left because the Lakers didn't want him anymore. Neither did any team. He went over to play in Italy because the Lakers didn't want him anymore. He lost a step by 1990 and wasn't nearly the same defensive stopper that he was a few years prior to that. Kareem Abdul Jabbar at age 40 and an old Michael Cooper are far from Kobe Bryant and PAu Gasol too so don't even try it. Cooper couldn't get a job and Kareem was averaging 14 PPG and 5 RPG in his last year. Kobe Bryant is the best player in the NBA and Gasol was an All NBA player.
