Is Anyone Else Afraid The NBA Wants a Lakers vs Cavs Finals?

[jimmyt]

just like the nba wanted a cavs vs. lakers finals this year? come on... the best teams will be in the finals. Luckily its a win-win sitation for the nba if its lakers and either the cavs or celtics.

k. guys,educate me here. if we DO get rasheed (for the full mid-level)what do we have to use next? there is something called the "LLE"(slightly more than the veteran minimum)? then anything after must be a veteran minimum contract? is this correct?
   baby's situation.. we can match anything offered for him? say some random team offered him 8 mil and the celtics don't feel he's worth that. that money just goes away right? that would not open up any  money to use elsewhere? if that was the case could we say" i don't think baby is worth that much but we're willing to pay 8 mil for some other guy on another team." so they then sign and trade,right?
  we won't just lose baby? because it would be a hole we can't fill? right?
 sorry for the long post.
