One less thing LeBron can be blamed for, I guess.

Player option after 4th year and $18 mil less than max.

So is Wade going to return at $16-20 million per year? I can't imagine any team giving him that kind of money besides the Heat.

Don't know. He's def. not worth it. We'll see. I hope they can maintain some 2016 flexibility.

Danny Green back to the Spurs for 4/$45M, could have gotten more elsewhere for sure. Hell, Bucks gave Middleton 5/$70M. Same old Spurs, they've got some black magic voodoo down there.

Spurs also trade Splitter to Hawks, apparently freeing up max room for Aldridge. They're soon to be the favorites to win it all in 2016.

LMA/Duncan/Kawhi/Green/Parker

Manu/Diaw/Baynes/Mills/Corey Joseph/Kyle Anderson

Ridiculous.

DeMarre Carroll to the Raps, nice get for them. 4/$60M

Got a lot of big ol' women down there in San Antonio

If that had a gazillion dollars, sure. They have almost no cap space. And if I'm deciding between a backup point guard and a shooter? You bet your ass I'm asking for a point guard. A backup for lebron or a shooter? Backup small forward. By a mile in both cases.

So Griffin gets credit for every move of his that worked out and LeBron gets the blame for every move that didn't. Ah yes, I see how it is.

It's no secret that LeBron lobbied for love, Marion, Miller, and Jones. That is an absolute fact. It's no secret he lobbied hard to keep Varejao. When the Shumpert, smith, mozgov trades were made they were widely believed to be griffins. LeBron gave the okay, but it's not the same as LeBron publicly lobbying for these guys as he did the group above.

You seriously have no ability to be critical of lbj whatsoever. It's pretty impressive. Tremendous player but had a history of lobbying for bad personnel moves.

Hilarious that Kobe blew it again. He's a terrible recruiter. Probably telling LMA that he needs to teach him how to win. LA needs him to GTFO

[Titty Meat]

I was excited for LA to go to LA wtf

He hasn't made his decision yet but you have to figure if he is going to get the same amount of money in SA as LA you have to go to SA so you can win.

How did he blow it? Of course the Spurs are the logical choice lol.

Because regardless of logical choice, Woj reported that LMA was unimpressed by LA pitch. I trust Woj's reporting and I also trust that nobody wants to play with Bryant for a year
