Waiters will get traded if the Cavs make a Kevin Love type trade. Outside of that I expect him to be around. Both the owner and the GM love the guy. This off season has been such a breath of fresh air after last year's Mike Brown and Anthony Bennett shit sandwich. Jesus lol.

They might love him, but he and Kyrie don't get along. Unless they're repairing that relationship behind the scenes, I don't see how you can go into the season with them at each other's throats. Ideally, I think you want Wiggins at SG, anyway. I guess we'll see how it plays out.

Bill is great, but you have to wonder how long he can stick with his approach in terms of broadcasting. It's great to see a guy that has his fandom on his sleeve and he does a great job, but it's gotten to the point where you know what's coming: He's going to say something negative about the Heat/Lakers, say something pro-Boston, etc.
I think the biggest thing that irks me about Bill is that I see a guy who is not only a fan, but has immense knowledge of the game. I've found myself respecting what he says, but after years of it, I'm kind of worn on his schtick and want him to try and give an objective professional analysis once in a while.

This is Bill Simmons reacting to the Napier trade, stating that he's "tired of teams helping Miami."

I don't know...does he have a lot of say in Bobcats roster decisions? He was the main reason the Wizards selected Kwame Brown with the #1 pick which is the parallel I was making.

Aren't they the Hornets now? I was pretty disappointed to learn they changed their name to an even lamer one.

They're doing this so all three re-sign after Riley has some room to tinker with the roster. It doesn't make sense otherwise because no one is paying Wade the max.

Yeah, that's actually a bad sign for people wanting them to break up. Although I'll giggle like a schoolgirl if we end up finding out that Riley's master plan was to get Wade to opt out so he could sign someone better and leave him floating.
I will NOT be giggling like a schoolgirl if there is any truth to the rumor of Lowry doing a sign-and-trade to Miami for fucking Norris Cole. I'm where Slaythe was on the Love situation on this one. You want to go to Miami? Fuck you...go take less money than we can offer then. I don't want Norris fucking Cole and 1-2 late-20s draft picks. People are seriously underestimating what Lowry meant to this team if they think Vasquez can fill even 80% of the gap Lowry leaving would create.

Yeah Lowry was your best player by far and honestly a top 5 PG last season. Ross and Jonas-V would have to take massive jumps to make up for that loss. He isexactlywho the Heat should be targeting though. Good defense, pretty used to playing with low usage. He would handle the ball a lot less in Miami but has turned into a good enough deep threat that he'll still be a good addition offensively. Essentially everything they hoped Mario Chalmers would turn into but never did.
Hope he stays in Toronto though. There are a lot of what ifs with the Raptors (mostly what Jonas turns into I think) but they have a solid core, a great GM and a good coach. I'm jealous.
