Can't see Stuckey starting, he's better coming off the bench, he did avg 14ppg in 27mins coming off the bench last year...

Cavs front court is looking 'weak' compared to the Bulls and other contenders...they need to do something fast and get some bodies in place...

They have no choice but to start Stuckey since they don't have anybody else.

I can see them dropping down to a 4-5th seed in the playoffs. Losing Born Ready will hurt.

Stuckey is a 15 and 5 type player and avg more points in 10 less minutes than lance. Is he better? Well no, but him and cj complement each other well. The inconsistent play might hurt a bit but pacer offense has never scared anyone. I agree, cavs need to recruit more than heat bench players. I see them winning 47-54 games. Other teams are wayyy better than them right now, even with with the best player in the world.

Wade is fine GR. He has been promised things in Miami. He will make his money up. They will over pay him for some front office job and maybe even give him a small percentage of the Heat. They already got some back door deal going when he finishes playing ball. You got to look at the long term deal for him. He ain't going to do TV. So he needs to keep in good graces with Miami to have a long time gig like his boy Alonzo Mourning. Haslem is doing the same. He is going to get some type of gig paying way more than you can imagine. Those office jobs ain't salary cap constrained. D Wade is smart.

Yea, agree...

On the slick, that East will be tough too...ppl really sleeping on the East, with the younger players coming in their own, it's going to be a good Conference, not just your 2 teams conference anymore...

I don't even think the Cavs will have the best record as some think, if they don't do something about their front court...

Dayum BB Lol...I'on know about that record, but anything could go.....I think they may have a winning record just off the strength of LB..
But Pacers came out good (front office) they didn't have to go over the tax bracket and got Stuckey...

I think the Cavs will be fine. They will be pretty deep with young talent and a mix of veterans. Thompson, Lebron and Varejeo is not a bad front line. Then you have Wiggins and Kyrie in the back court. You bring off the bench the Bennett kid, Dion Waiters, Mike Miller, James Jones, and whomever else they try to add. They probably should see if they can get Boozer to come in for the cheap since he is going to be getting paid by Chicago this year anyway. So any other salary he makes will be extra. Of course they still want to get Kevin Love. If that happens and they keep Wiggins. They will have a good starting lineup but the bench will take a hit because they will have to give up Waiter, Bennett and Thompson. Going to be interesting. I think the Twolves want to throw in Kevin Martin's contract as well.

Nah, Wade ain't smart for walking away from $42 million guaranteed.

The Pacers got a bunch of soft cats though. I ain't sold on them. Plus they may try to move Hibbert.

They wouldve done that for him anyway. That idiot gave away 11 mill and he needs to fire whoever told a 30+ year old player with bad knees to opt out of his contract. You cant opt out of a contract if you have NO LEVERAGE.

How do you know what is promised behind closed doors? You know damn well the Heat going to hire Wade to some stupid money position. And if they give him a small percentage of ownership. He will be paid for years and years. He left 11 million on the table. Not the entire 42 million. LOL. He will make that up and then some with some made up job they will give him. If you think Wade wasn't promised something after basketball, then I got some swamp land to sell you in La.

He opted out for the team GR. He knows he had no leverage. But he didn't want to be considered the guy who wouldn't opt out. And if he didn't. I bet Arison and Riles would have said fugg you mofo. We ain't going to do nothing extra for you later. They would have paid him his 42 million and went on about their business. Wade needs more long term security than that with those children he got. You know he got baby mama drama with this last kid. LOL.

Damn waiting down the road for my money. You gotta get what they owe you ASAP.
 
JR said:
I hear ya. But some folks like having money waiting later though. You can't judge Wade unless you know what his plan is.

A lot of these athletes need to have money waiting for them later. Example would be Allen Iverson,

LOL. Good point. At least AI was smart enough to do that part. He just will struggle until he can cash in.

Wade is looking at the big picture. He is king in Miami. He ain't never leaving that place. They will make up some VP type job for him and pay 3-4 million a year for the next 10-15 years. LOL. Where else is he going to get a gig like that? He ain't TV material. So he better stay cool with Arison and Riley. LOL.

11 Million dollars is a lot of long term security to me. DWade shouldnt have to pay for Lebrons return, Arison should. Aint no way in the hell do I give up my only leverage to resign somebody like LeBron especially if I have bad knees and cant get a contract with anyone else. That was dumb as hell

Iverson ain't struggling. He just didn't want to pay his wife as much as she wanted.
