Maybe not even 2 of the 3. I would beg Atlanta to give us 3 1st rounders now. Passing up on 4 was a bad move. lakers fans want to offer randle, ingram and the 28th pick. i would hang up on that offer, and not deal with them unless the #2 is involved they think its a given that hes gone next year, but PG hasnt made up his mind yet. reports are hes thinking it over right now and meeting with the team next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to get 3 or 4 picks from Atlanta and build that way as well but we would need to nail the Draft in doing so. That is a gamble when you give up a proven a SuperStar. I don't trust our FO at this point to nail any Draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTC Posted May 19, 2017 Author Share Posted May 19, 2017 For those saying Pacers will not win anything with PG gone - what has the Pacers won with him? A division title? Those are irrelevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are irrelevant. We went to the Conference Finals twice and took LeBron James 7 games and were real relevant with PG just a few years ago. Why does everyone think if you don't win a Championship you have a crap franchise? I don't get that at all. The Colts went to the Championship Game in 2014 but because we lost to the Pats and haven't won a SB I guess that makes the Luck era irrelevant?

I'm aware that he can still get the super max. I posted the tweet on here earlier. Many players have left for less money... even players like KD who had said they loved the city they were in and hated super teams. Players only can take so much before they chase titles. I'm fine with keeping Paul but if/when he walks next year we'd have to accept the fact that we let him walk for nothing. 'Many players have left for less money" Really. But....I'm glad you're fine with keeping Paul George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on, it's a team with 17 championships; the richest history in all of the NBA, and people feel sorry for them cause LeBron's team is wiping the floor with them??? Um no, come on...It's like crying over the Pittsburgh Steelers or New York Yankees. It is GLORIOUS to see a team like this get beat down into the ground.

Cavs are 34,000,000 mill over the Cap and Dan Gilbert could give 2 craps about the Luxury Tax.

2006Coltsbestever Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Glad to see the Cavs playing the best they have ever played and completely healthy with LeBron, Irving, Love, Korver, Smith, and Thompson. Beating teams by 50 points even! This way when the Warriors take them behind the woodshed and give them a spankin I don't want to hear any excuses to why the so called GOAT by some people LeBron lost.

You can't trade picks in consecutive years...it would take forever for those to play out and if Atlanta is a playoff team those may all be in the 20s. The best deal would have been to have made a move with Boston at the dead line. Those NJ picks were guaranteed to be top 3 and likely next year too. Not sure what Denver was offering...at least they have some nice young players...Atlanta has nothing. We have basically lost all leverage because if we had traded this year we would have likely ended up with a top 10 pick from our own because we wouldn't have won much and the other team would have likely believed they had a good chance to resign him or him get all-NBA this year or next. Now it's an all or nothing scenario. Let's all be honest...it's a no win situation for us...it's why Bird bailed. Unless we magically sign Hayward and find a way to add a rebounding/defensive big we aren't competing next year....very long shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
