I doubt this but if he is telling the truth I imagine the cavs got in on the Griffin deal and are involving love.
No, his alleged third team is Sacramento.

Whoops.  I would assume change the landscape of NBA powerhouses meant the inclusion of a top team replacing sac town as the third.  My bad.
Your bad is assuming that any of this is real. My take is that he's doing a social experiment to see how high he can take this if he shakes hard enough.

This, and it must be a slow day at the dealership.

I agree and said I doubt his is real in my initial post.  There's always a chance though and on a summer Friday why not entertain the possibility...

I'm having great fun following all the trolling on twitter, but zero expectations. Then again, statistically there's always a nonzero chance.

True, but you can't beat one dollar per kid for 90 minutes.

If you can get away with just 90 mins, you're in good shape.

Well, once you're in they'd have to break their own rules to get you out.  And you can just shove a kid or two their way to slow them down as you majestically bound away.  Carpe bouncehouse!

No, still here.

They guard the entrances with high school kids in zebra stripes.  Probably a bad move for my profession to get into a pushing match there.

LOL...please lock this thread (or start a new rumor) until new developments occur. This is getting pathetic.

Pushing? Nah, just pull an Edelman-style double-move :)

it seems like forever all we have heard is about the amount of good picks we've made and picks we still have to offer. this team is ripe and chomping at the bit to play Celtic basketball and I think Griffin gets us there. stop worrying about the Brooklyn picks, they're on their way up and won't do us any good down the road. pull the trigger Danny, and let's go to the championship!!!

With Marble being cut by the Clippers, does anyone else think that they are creating an open roster space in advance of a big trade?
DKC:  Rockets
CB Draft: Memphis Grizz
Players: Klay Thompson, Jabari Parker, Aaron Gordon
Next 3 picks: 4.14, 4.15, 4.19

Either that or it was just a straight salary dump. Wilcox was on the books for 3 more years and is a 25-year old guy who has had zero NBA-level production. Don't see it as anything better than 50/50.

Marble had a guarantee deadline today, so there is nothing surprising in the timing.
