It would be real interesting if the wizards reunited cousins and Wall as cousins is a free agent

they could ship Beal out too

A sign and trade of Cousins for Beal would be interesting to see.  I doubt the Wizards would do this with Cousins coming off of a serious injury but the Pelicans would be dangerous with Beal.  He could easily fit at the 3 spot with Rondo and Holiday running the backcourt.
TP.  For your quicker typing.

I mean, I think it's unlikely that Lebron stays in Cleveland at this point regardless, but if the Pacers somehow pull off this series, surely there's 0 chance that he stays, right?

I think he's gone. I mean, look at him out there. He just looks disengaged, as if he realizes this group really isn't a Finals threat (and they aren't). So why bother, according to Lebron.

It's only 3-2 Cavaliers now because Lebron's had like 2 games of 40+ points and Pacers made really stupid mistakes late in Game 2 that I think cost them that game. Also, Oladipo has actually looked lousy the last 3-4 games (not tonight though) and yet CLE can't put them away.

Anyways, I just hope Lebron goes out West to be honest. Not Sixers (please).

They have no cap space to sign Cousins.  Maybe they could work with NOP on a Cousins sign and trade for Beal.  Beal would be a really nice fit for NOP.  I wouldn't see a Wall/Cousins team as a contender in the East. 

If I'm the Wiz, I try to move Wall.  I think he's overrated now and I don't think he'll age well so his contract will be quite ugly in a few years.  PG is probably the easiest position to fill.

I've never seen the hype for Wall either.  Always thought he was highly overrated and was nothing more than a good athlete who occasionally got lucky on some jumpers.

Lol @ Lance Stephenson. Dude is a clown, but it's hilarious seeing him get under Lebron's skin.

Same. Folks out there calling him a "transcendental talent"...  ::)

To me, it was also pretty telling when Beal and Gortat basically called him out while he was injured and the Wizards were winning games (playing more team basketball). Tells me Wall probably isn't a great locker room guy either.

Guys, Pacers are 3-0 vs. CLE on ESPN/ABC games. 0-3 when aired on TNT.

Game 7 is projected to be on ABC  :o  ;D

I wish they could take some of this 56% shooting with them to game 7.

13 for 25 from three....they could beat any team with that. 92 points in three quarters. Yeeouch Lebronski.

I think Cavaliers should just sit Lebron the rest of the 4th. Likewise, IND should keep Dipo on the bench as well. It's going 7 games for sure.

The fact that a low/mid-level player like Lance can get into Lebron's head so easily shows more evidence he can't sniff Bird's, MJ's, or Magic's jock.
