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.

No possible way we are trading any of that young talent on the roster unless it's for a great player like Love. But Wiggins isn't on the table, sure we'd love to land Love, but we aren't desperate. LeBron loves Wiggins, and even down the road Wiggins could help LeBron get a few rings. Cavs are set up perfect to become a dynasty.

I'm used to losing and typically don't expect great things. But yeah after Fred Hoiberg, Andy Reid, and now LBJ... I expect a lot of great things for my teams. Especially my basketball ones. Wouldn't surprise my if the Cavs and Cyclones win a championship the same season soon

LeBron loves Wiggins so much he didn't even mention him in the letter yesterday. Don't kid yourself. If LeBron really wants Love they'll give up what it takes to get him.

They need another legit big. Tristan Thompson isn't good enough.

Shaq is still pretty spry. Saw him dunking on 100 1st graders.

Varejao and Haywood will rotate minutes, and I'm guessing Andersen will be added to the mix. Tristan should go back where he belongs, which is Power Forward. It's serviceable and a lot better than what the Heat had in terms of grinders down low. They could really use a Big who can shoot to create spacing. They have to hope that Bennett can start doing that from the Power Forward spot.

But these are reasons why Lebron said they're not ready yet. I agree.

Lebron hates having two big clunky guys at PF and C clog the lane. He loves himself a stretch 4. (insert Kevin Love).

It's why Varejao is not a bad option at Center. He's an extremely active rebounder especially on offense and even though he doesn't shoot much, he tends to move around vs. posting up. That's assuming you can keep him healthy. They definitely need an outside shooting Big. Bennett can hopefully at least become a spot up shooter, and it's a real shame they didn't make a play for Hawes.

Exactly. Lebron has more pull than both the coach and GM there.

there isn't many stretch 4s left out there which is why Hawes and Frye got massively overpaid.

**RealSNR** · 07-12-2014, 11:50 AM

And with that, expect Chicago to make some heavy bids for Kevin Love.

Chiefs Pantalones · 07-12-2014, 12:10 PM

Paycheck player Melo going back to NY. Shocker.

He likes him enough to follow on twitter which he doesn't follow a whole bunch of peope. He was also following wiggins and not Parker who everyone for some reason thought should have been the top pick. You must be pretty good for you to follow as a college player.
