I will update this when the schedule is announced in a couple of weeks, but I will open with the new uniforms for the Charlotte Hornets below.

PLEASE LET LBJ GO BACK TO THE CAVS!

[RustShack]

LeBrons agent is pressuring him to the Cavs, his wife wants him to go to Cleveland. Cleveland is younger, more athletic, has more depth, and has a lot more assets to keep improving. His best shot at a dynasty and long term success is in Cleveland. Also winning a Championship(s) there would be a lot more meaningful and make him even more legendary.

I'm glad you've convinced yourself.

This should be obvious..

No guarantees made, but Danny Granger/Josh McRoberts committed to Heat w/ strong belief LeBron James will be a teammate, sources tell Yahoo.

One thing is certain, Lebron will not be a Cav. If Rustshak and Broussard are saying so, im certain hes going elsewhere

SHUT YOUR WHORE MOUTH!

I want Rustshack to be right about something for a change. It would be good for the guy.

[Kiimo]

Yeah his best chance is at a place with a bunch of kids not the team he just went to the finals with. All the Heat need to do is improve their bench and it appears they are.

Their bench looks the same or maybe worse right now. Have to see what other moves they make. McRoberts is a decent player but he has been on like 5-6 teams, Granger is finished. The problem is who is going to relieve James of his minutes? I know they are chasing Morrow but OKC is in the lead for him. I assume Ray Allen will return but they will still need to address their 2 biggest needs (PG and C). Unless they think Napier can be Rondo part #2

why would trash players make the team more attractive to lbj?

Exactly. Four straight Finals. The Cavs aren't ready for that yet. It's more likely that Lebron would go back in 2 years (assuming he only re-ups in MIA through 2016). Kyrie is great but he misses 22 games/yr. Wiggins hasn't proven shit yet. The kid's 19. He has to mature.

McRoberts is a younger, bigger, more athletic replacement for Battier. I think they'll add a vet. PG (Jameer, Blake) but I don't see them upgrading at C, unfortunately.

Granger is likely an end-of-bench guy.

You think the Heat are a better team than the Cavs in what way? The 2nd best player is someone who played only 52 games last year and was still ass in the playoffs!

If Kyrie massing 22 games is bad, then what about Wade missing 30?

@EthanJSkolnick For all the Chris Bosh reports out there, I keep checking back and keep hearing same: he intends to be in Miami.

You're right. A team of children is better than a team that has gone to four straight NBA Finals.
