Swaggy P has a house for his shoes

The property, tucked behind a gate in the San Fernando Valley neighborhood of Tarzana, comes with a detached building that Young is converting into a "shoe house." He employs not one but two "shoe keepers," who oversee his 500-plus pairs of sneakers, a collection that includes Vans fitted with roller-skating wheels.

Surprised nobody is talking about the implosion that is the Cavs relationship that now. Bronbron pushing Blatt, player mutiny, assistant coach sending in plays behind Blatts back, and the Love situation. I don't think I've ever hear or read about a train wreck like this so shortly after everything gets put together.

I've watched a few Cavs games. Love looks like he doesn't even give a shit out there. Gob'ed.

yeah, hearing rumors he is trying to get Mark Jackson installed as the new coach. How are those warriors doing again?

Well got negged for bringing up the topic haha. Just figured that everything imploding this fast was a shock. Not that it happened but the speed at which it happened. So thinking the probably have to trade love at this point unless they can Blatt super quick and get more involvement for love. Otherwise you just trade your future away for a guy who is going to walk next year. So destinations?

So like I think Blatt probably isn't the guy and won't have that job for long, but did anyone actually think the Cavs were winning a championship this year?

They'll can Blatt before they trade Love.

I didn't like Mark Jackson as the Warriors coach, but I think he could do a good job with the Cavs actually. He got guys to play D, would command more respect than Blatt, and his whole "no offense" offense should work ok with Lebron and Kyrie. It'd be interesting to see if he could turn it around there. And then hopefully the NBA tries to fix up a Warriors - Cavs finals so that you get the added side story of the preacher vs. his old team. Although damn, I couldn't stand losing a series to the Cavs if Mark Jackson were the coach. He doesn't deserve that kind of redemption.

No, I don't think anyone outside of some cavs fans thought they would even make it out of the east. But the sheer speed of the implosion and whats going on is like nothing I've seen before. They were even talking on the freddy coleman show about the players throwing games on purpose. I mean, I've been following sports for a long time and while talk show hosts may joke about it I have never heard it talked about in a serious tone before.

Love isn't the problem it's Irving. The Cavs need a pass first PG not a ball-hogging one and it doesn't help that Blatt is a poor coach. I still think they should have traded Irving for Rondo if the Celtics would have made that deal.

JVG has been rumored as the replacement if Blatt gets fired.

JVG is my delusional replacement for Scott Brooks. But, I know deep down that Presti will never get rid of Brooks.

If Brooklyn's Brooks gets traded to OKC for Reggie and trash I might start drinking early this weekend. First to celebrate and then to prepare myself for the inevitable foot issues.

Is that a thing? I like Steven Adams, but Brooke Lopez would be huge for them. Even better if the Nets have to take Perkins in that trade. Is Waiters working out well enough there that they can give up Reggie? I'm too lazy to go do any research right now.

It is a thing, but there is still negotiating going on this morning.

It isn't that Waiters is working out yet, it is that Reggie has turned to crap. His free agency is clearly messing with his play.

Edit: Trade apparently involves Perkins and not Reggie, hard to imagine okc giving up Perkins and more trash and getting Lopez. Have to think Reggie is involved somehow.

This hypothetical won't happen, but I don't think Mark Jackson would stand a chance against Steve Kerr.

So how long before Cavs fans start regretting trading Wiggins for a one-year rental of a disgruntled Love? Wiggins with 31 pts / 9 reb / 4 asst / 3 blocks tonight. Unless Cleveland wins a title this year, Love may jet and that trade may go down in infamy.
