RE: The Toronto Raptors Retain FA Kyle Lowry and Serge Ibaka!
Hey @georgemales!
Love to hear from NBA fans--we need more and more of it on steemit, haha!
I agree that we will probably see the same finals like the last 3 years...although I think we are fortunate as fans to see that! As a Cavs fan, I have been most interested in the Carmelo situation than anything else, really. If he is able to secure a buyout and sign with the Cavs on their midlevel exception ($5.2M), that would be absolutely fantastic because they won't have to give anything up. If the Warriors don't make any additional moves (although, the might get CRAWFORD...uh oh), the Melo addition narrows the gap imo.
As for the Raptors, they know they can't win the East. But they are doing it for the fans and will stay competitive at least. Better than being a bottom feeder for 5+ years.
Love to hear from the NBA fans as well and i am really glad that we are some around. I will make as well few posts about NBA that's for sure. I like Cavs a lot and if Carmelo deal its on then everything will change. There were rumors that even Wade might land in Cleveland but who knows. Rumors are rumors, that's why i want to wait and see what is going to happen. As for the Raptors i think you are right, they know they can't win the East and i think that for the moment are just happy to made it to the playoffs.
I do think the Wade buyout might happen too! But that would be a midseason acquisition probably, if it were to happen. Wade wants to collect his paycheck I think, while also compete for a ring (haha, best of both worlds huh?).
See you around!
Can you imagine a team with Lebron, Carmelo, Wade and Love!!! It will be amazing to see them playing together...
Don't forget Kyrie!! It WOULD be amazing...man, I get way too excited imagining that haha.
Honest to be i forgot about him and i like him a lot! I add as well a blog (a light one) regarding NBA so if you guys have some time and pleasure please stop by and take a look!
