2014 NBA Free Agency & Trade Rumors

[Eddie20]

-- As an organization, the Cavs are upbeat. They've been talking to a couple of teams about trades, and they are more than willing to bring on another All-Star and enhance the roster should they land LeBron. Everyone other than Kyrie Irving, Anderson Varejao and Tristan Thompson can be had for the right price, sources said. It should be noted that, yes, the Cavs strongly prefer to retain No. 1 overall draft pick Andrew Wiggins as well.

It's interesting that Varejao (close friend of James) is considered an "untouchable". Anyways, would love to be able to trade Rondo for Wiggins and Jack. Not sure how this would work, or if the Cavs would be interested, but these duo PG backcourts (Dragic & Bledsoe, CP3 & Collison, Westbrook & Jackson, etc.) are becoming increasingly popular. In addition, I would even include Bogans non-guranteed contract in the deal should the Cavs want to dump any other contract.

So something like:

Wiggins
Jack
Undesirable Contract(s)

for

Rondo
Bogans (non-guaranteed contract)

So the Cavs are going to have problems trading if Varejao and Thompson are unavalible. They're even hesitant in trading Dion Waiters!

They have assets, including Miami's 1st rd pick next season, which could be valuable should James bolt.

Varejao is his friend and Irving and Thompson are part of James' "La Familia" nonsense they write on twitter.

Great signing. $2 million a year. I would have loved to have him here as backup to Rondo.

did not see this on cb and dont know where else to put it...

lebron may be on his way away from miami.

"Writer Tim Reynolds tweeted a pic of Gilbert's plane at the Hollywood, FL airport. A Cleveland sports media member also says Zydrunas Ilgauskas was on the plane as well."

@AnthonyLimaFAN: Been working on this for two hours but can now confirm from second source that LBJ's friend and former Cav Zydrunas Ilgauskas was on plane.



perhaps ilgauskas is there to assure lebron that this time the cavaliers will have players much better than he was. 

and....just to get everyone's sweet tooth prepped...

Just texting with a friend who is directly tied in with Lebron and his camp, and he swears on his life ?#?TheReturn? to Cleveland is a done deal. Per his sources, calls have already been made to other current Cavaliers to spread the news. If this is true, and like anything on the internet, take that with a grain of salt... are you ready to get out your old jersey and welcome Lebron home?!?

Wow now the entire NBA media is feeling that Lebron will head to Cleveland. Not official but I think the decision is coming soon.

ESPN sources say Rockets are "heavily engaged" with Chris Bosh in attempt to get Bosh to leave Heat in free agency. Story hits online soon

If Lebron does go back to Cleveland though, is that really a better team than Miami?

I mean Kyrie is a great PG which the Heat don't have, but after that....

Who plays the center position in Cleveland?

Also, you don't know what you're going to get with Wiggins.

if Lebron goes to the Cavs, they will trade Wiggins for Love I assume, or maybe even Melo instead. Irving, Waiters, Lebron, Love/Melo, and Varejao. Yeah, that team would be better than the Heat. They would have a very good point guard and a legit center, along with Lebron and another superstar that is healthier and younger than Wade.

They would also still have Zeller, Bennett, and Tristan Thompson to use to acquire more vet pieces.

If LeBron goes back to Cleveland I'll eat my shoe.

Good thing I didn't specify which shoe.
