Cavs are really not very good. Lebron and the pips at this point

Even though I hate them, the Lakeshow's energy and youth make them a very fun team to watch. Even if they don't get Lebron/PG13 next season, they should be in the playoff mix. That is of course if they keep the guys who are going to be free agents.

Mi will be shocked if he doesn't leave at end of season. They have nothing. Love helps a little, but he would be the 5th best player on the warriors and 3rd best player on a healthy Celtics team (maybe 4th next year)

I really don't think they will. Even if they don't get a max guy or 2 this summer, I think they'll save that space for 2019 and go for it again next year. That's basically what Magic has said they are going to do. I think all or most of IT, Randle, Lopez, and Caldwell Pope are gone next season.

Cavs now alone in 4th. Half game out of losing home court in first round. Woof. Two weeks certain delusional fans were saying they were going to go 18-5 or something in th second half

So what's to stop them from giving big one year deals (like what they gave KCP) to those guys sans Randle in case they miss out on those max guys? Lakers are one of the few teams that have cap room to do that. I could also see them re-signing Randle and then just trading him in case a superstar does sign with them. The cap crunch benefits them a lot with restricted free agency and he's been phenomenal for them lately.

I could also see them trading Deng along with the Cavs pick this year to a team like Sacramento for Iman Shumpert and Kosta Koufos to open up even more cap room next season.

The Lakers have a lot of options at their disposal. If it weren't for the Celtics being in a much better position than them going forward, I'd be kinda jealous.

Lol Lakers pummeling the Cavs now, and they'll be in 4th place after tonight.

That Pacers loss tonight is looking more and more beneficial given the context of what it has led to now  ;D

The third best player on this Cavs team might be Larry Nance Jr. lol

I don't think those guys are looking for 1 year deals. Maybe Lopez, but not Randle, IT, and KCP.

Julius Randle is a BEAST.

Randle went batty tonight, but IT was right behind him at +18.  Do you like apples, LBJ?
