Going away for first 2 and half weeks in September and i really can't be arsed following it while im out the country lol.

In any case i think i'll probably start gauging interest before then, be nice if we can get a full league of people who consistently keep up to date this time.

Just to be clear for those put off by time, it really doesn't take that long.

Because I think he would bes simply bluffing to try and move where he wants.

Once he gets to Chicago and plays with a better team that the Cavs would be, he would resign despite his bluster. Especially given his zero playoff to this point vs what the Bulls would do with him.  Love aint leaving a team which goes to the finals (as the Bulls very well might with him)...even to play with Lebron.

Whats his next option after that? Cavs cant just pick him up in FA without him taking a major paycut. It wouldnt be like Miami, Lebron and Kyrie getting taking up more cap than any of that big 3, plus Varejao on like 8m.

Its a risk for the Bulls, but if the option is there I would take it. Their offer isnt as strong as Wiggins plus whoever, but you can feel that the Cavs are doing everything possible to get Love without Wiggins and that might open the door for the Bulls.

They could do that but it's definitely a risk. With the bigger cap in 2015 and 2016, he'll probably opt out regardless, even just to get more from Chicago.

The Cavs payroll for 2015-16
LeBron 21.5 option
Irving at 16(estimating)
Wiggins at 6
Thompson: 7.1 QO
Bennett at 5.8 TO
Waiters 5.1 TO

so that's 61.5m right there of the expected ~66m cap. However if LeBron opts out, they are at 40m, you can sign Love starting at 17 or so, and then go over to re-sign LeBron(possibly even avoiding lux tax before min deals)

Been playing Yahoo Fantasy Baseball the last few months, been killing it. Started off the season winning 13 straight weeks, before I finally lost my first last week(only cause Tanaka the gawd got injured). Was up 20 games on the 2nd place guy before that.http://baseball.fantasysports.yahoo.com/b1/113633/8

"The July evaluation period isn't just the most important stretch on the calendar for college basketball recruiting, it's also the perfect time for the top high school basketball players in the country to show off for the mixtape makers. The cameras are always rolling inside high-profile grassroots events, and the players know college coaches aren't the only ones watching.

Malik Monk made headlines earlier this week when HoopMixtape released a compilation of his best highlights in 2014. Monk was already one of the top players in the class of 2016, but you can bet a lot more people know about the super athletic 6'3 guard now than a week ago.

With Monk's tape in mind, we decided to compile the 10 best high school mixtapes of all-time."

Kobe's true prime, wasted with the likes of Chris Mihm and Smush Parker but that 2 year stretch from 06 to Pau trade was something to behold.

That spinning, turn around, fade away 3 in OT over a double team smh
