RE: Latest Buzz Around the NBA
I dig your enthusiasm!
I really believe whoever ends up as the GM in Cleveland & NY -- both are going to want something. Considering Lebron's power in Cleveland, they will need to land Melo somehow, someway haha. The GM In NY will want something in return, rather than a buy-out. I'm not so sure Melo would allow a trade anywhere unless its next to his good ole' pal LBJ.
Hayward to Miami seems very likely. I don't see Boston doing much b/c Ainge is very attached to his picks. THE OVERLORD of DRAFT PICKS! :-)
I also think the Thunder are going to do their best to snag Blake. Miami would not be able to keep Waiters or James Johnson (who they've recently developed) and/or be able to afford Blake+Hayward. Ultimately, I think its Hayward + James Johnson....and hope Waiters give a bit of a discount to Miami to stay there as well. After drating BAM, keeping James Johnson who can also play the 3 if needed and also having Whiteside longterm, I don't see Riley chasing Griffin.
I also hope for The Spurs sake, they do not go after Rose and only Lowry. IF anyone can groom Lowry, its The Spurs. Rose is just not worth the hassle anymore, for any team, imo!
Thanks for commenting back!!
