I'm going to be curious. Does Lebron have the attitude, "I won Cleveland a championship, now I can go and play where I want"? Or does Cleveland move Kevin Love, and try to bring in someone like Carmello?

He basically plays the same position and is a black hole when he gets the ball.

He should try to win with carmelo and josh smith. No one could question him as the goat after that.

People that watch basketball part time has a flawed view of Melo. Especially since he signed with NY. I guess they forgot about the top 5 Melo in Denver. Even in his earlier years in NY he was a top 5 player. Funny part is that we all heard these things about LeBron when he first went to Miami on how it wouldnt because of many reasons.
I would actually like to see this happpen so all the critics be forced to eat their words as they have been doing in the last 5 years with LeBron....

Yeah, the knocks on Melo are pretty off IMO. Guy is a load offensively and can be engaged on defense when it means something. Not a whole lot of guys gonna be successful in NY this past season.

I cannot see any rational reason why LBJ would leave CLE again. I've heard he still has beef with Gilbert but shit if that was the case I couldn't see him going back in the first place. He could run for Gov right now and win in a landslide. They have a pretty good roster that could be MUCH better with a couple tweaks. The speculation of him leaving is just media spin IMO.

I think it's over. New York killed young Melo. He'll be 33, injured often (averaged 60 games/year over the last five seasons), doesn't get to the line the same way he used to (his FTr was consistently around .400 for the first eight years of his career, averaged .325 over the last five)... Top 20 in usage but only top 50 in terms of most advances offensive categories. Just doesn't strike me as a guy who can get back to what he was.

The Atlanta Hawks are sending guard Jeff Teague to the Indiana Pacers as part of a three-way deal with the Utah Jazz, league sources told The Vertical.
Indiana will send guard George Hill to the Jazz, who are moving the No. 12 overall pick in Thursday’s NBA draft to Atlanta, league sources said.

Melo will be just fine especially if they can land some upgraded talent in this offseason. People perception of him are like of bandwagon teams.

Nevermind- just read it. While reading it... I realized why I didn't watch it tonight. As much as I enjoy college basketball... I recognized maybe 4 names on the entire board. Half of them I couldn't even pronounce with google translator help

Good draft with teams drafting for future potential. Murray going to the Spurs at 29th was a great pick...

What's the report on the guy we picked? People like it? I've seen about 10 seconds of tape on him so I feel qualified to make an opinion. Seems like a Kevin Love type. Offensive skills, can rebound, can't defend.
