Just in time for Lebron to take his talents elsewhere :)

LeBron calling the shots?  Clearly LeBron wanted Napier.  Riley will do anything to keep LeBron's talents in south beach, and rightfully so.

Also, can we trade Jeff Green already and draft Cleanthony Early. If we're going youth, let's go youth.

Early is only 4 years younger.

that deal makes no sense for Memphis.  why give up Zach and Mcdermott for 2 rookies?

Keep your facts out of this.

Bad draft night for Ainge.

Yeah, took the best player available at #6 and a kid who's projected in the lottery dropping at #17 is a bad draft night.

Just because expectations are not met doesnt mean it's a bad night.

what Lebron wants, Lebron gets.

Haha, they're joking about the power of Lebron's twitter account.  This has the making of a Dos Equis commercial - "his tweets have influenced player acquisitions by NBA front offices, retroactively..." ;D 

On another front, we should have signed PJ Hairston during the season.  Sigh.

The trade was with Denver. It's Anthony Randolph.
Once you are labeled 'the best' you want to stay up there, and you can't do it by loafing around.

No comments from Ainge on his draft selections yet?

Early is only 4 years younger.

Still younger, no?

Also, he probably has a better mental makeup than Jeff Green.

Were you looking at your post history when she said that?
