    Hoping those rumors are coming from Minnesota in the first place to drive up the price for the Warriors. Keep Maple Jordan!

    Latest Cavs transaction truly puts the "ass" in trade assets.

    Bulls offering Gibson, Mirotic and McDermott apparently for Love. depletes our depth a bit, and the Bulls board i visit are split (maybe a tad more against) but i think that's a pretty fair trade for both, and you take it. stars rule in this league. Rose, Love and Noah is a nice 3 and we retain Butler to lock down LeBron. plus i think if Love lands on the Cavs, then there's no way Bulls get out of the East anyway.

    is it better than Wiggins, Bennett and another first? Wiggins is flashy but Mirotic and McDermott are both potential top 5 picks in any other draft, and Gibson gives you defence and rebounding straight away.

    I'm shocked the Bucks turned down the Knicks offer of Iman Shumpert, Tim Hardaway Jr, and the corpse expiring contract of Amar'e Stoudemire for Kevin Love. Shocked, I tell ya.

    So, the only real throwback jerseys will be the ones with burn marks

    Speaking of jerseys, curious to know what your thoughts are regarding the current Cavs jerseys. I thought the jerseys they wore when LeBron was there the first time were the best in the league.

    Nah. I've always been a bigger fan classic NBA uniforms. Celtics, Lakers, etc.

    My favorite Cavs uniforms are actually the Orange and Blue:

    I'm not so sure about those- from a non-Cavs fan perspective, it's too close to the Knicks look, the colors at least. The basketball net-shaped 'V', with the ball going in is cool, though, so there's that. :p




    [​IMG]



    Now that's (obviously) a great look... a nice, deep shade of blue, the wine & gold accented sections surrounding the shoulders, etc. If I ran the Cavs, those would be the road uni's, while these would be the home set:

    The less white uni's the team wears, the better. :p






    [​IMG]



    Though the Staples Center/millennium era "streamlined" look does look good (their success while wearing 'em helps in that opinion, of course :p), there's something undeniably better, more aesthetically pleasing to the eye with the old 80's Showtime-era drop shadow look... especially with the purple-colored numbers.

    Multiple reports has San Antonio at Cleveland to open the season. This is bad choice for a number of reasons.

    First and foremost, the champions should open up at home. Period. Always.

    Second, I'm not sure LloydChristmas is ready for that kind of internal turmoil on opening night.

    Cleveland / Miami is almost certainly going to be a Christmas game, no?

    I think I read that one of the Bulls teams from Jordan's Championships had to open on the road.
    Also kind of a screw you to LBJ wouldn't you say?
    Just lost to these guys in the Finals, went back to his old team, now he has to face them first thing?
    Yeah, screw you.

    Yeah the Bulls had to open up on the road against the Celtics in the '97-'98 season.

    Was planning on making the trek to Cleveland for his first game back. UNBELIEVABLE

    Spurs should absolutely open at home. And whoever is making the schedule should know how much of Cleveland was rooting for the Spurs the past two Finals. [face_sigh]
