is the nba trying to do the smart thing for james:rolleyes

[TheyCallMePro]

Stern ain't here anymore. Not happening.

I wish the Lakers had just been allowed to get CP3 and Dwight. They wouldn't have won jack. Now we have to listen to them whine all the time over what could have been. It's pathetic.

[MeloHype]

NBA doesn't want to refund the Wiggins jerseys

[stxspurs]

veto would be so awesome:ihit

veto would be so awesome:ihit

The only reason why I'd care is if Love had a chance to sign with the Spurs next off-season. If he goes somewhere else, it may as well be Cleveland.

I don't think he has ever mentioned the Spurs as even a remote possibility.
So we are in agreement, as long as he goes east.

“If there’s a way I can jump on that Spurs roster then I can get on that road to the NBA championship. Hopefully it becomes soon, I’m 25 now, maybe when I’m 26.”

He said it playfully, and right after our Spurs won it all. But the words were said. lol However like everyone else here, I'm happy to have him go East.

[Shastafarian]

According to reports, Cleveland is sending center Anthony Bennett, guard/forward Andrew Wiggins and a future first-round draft pick to Minnesota for Love.lol wut

[jARS mEsH sEt]

lol wut

Well he is taller than Blair :lmao

[Obstructed_View]

Carlos Boozer Mark II would be epical.

[russellgoat]

This guy really loves the Spurs if this happens. Not only did Silver told the refs to give the advantage to SA against any team not named the Thunder, now he doesn't want another team having a chance at beating them.

[Russo21]

I think we all know if this trade takes place there is a nod nod wink wink agreement between Love and the Cavs about an extension being signed. Can the NBA prove it though? Easier said then done.

[Russo21]

Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports reports Kevin Love (http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/3449/kevin-love) has assured the Cavs he will become a free agent in 2015 and then accept a five-year, max contract that could pay him an estimated $106 million.

Thought it was common knowledge already.

Yep. This is why the league my block it. It's so obvious.

[HemisfairArena]

No chance without physical proof like his signature on a contract.

[Baam]

Would be so awkward for Wiggins if he stays in Cleveland tbh :lol...

They don't need proof to block a trade, only to punish them. They can block if they feel Love signing after opting out is a condition for the Cavs making the trade. That's why the Celtics weren't allowed to trade KG to the Clippers last year.

Wanna bet? They need proof.

[Chinook]

Wanna bet? They need proof.

Did the league have proof with the KG trade?

[Sean Cagney]

Would be so awkward for Wiggins if he stays in Cleveland tbh :lol...

Yes, but for Love to become a FA and go there and they keep Wiggins as well that would not be good for the league. I hope they just do the trade.

[HemisfairArena]

Did the league have proof with the KG trade?

Once again,,,,wanna bet

Nope. That was because you can't trade a coach and player(s) to the same team. Boston had already received compensation from the LAC for Doc. Neither KG or Pierce could have been traded to the LAC at that point.

[Chinook]

No. That's childish stuff.

You can't trade a coach, period. You can only compensate a team for letting a coach out of his contract. You may think that's the same thing, but it's not. The league would not allow the Celtics to trade KG to the Clippers, both because they had agreed to let Rivers out of his contract and because there was talk that they were going to buy out Pierce so he could sign with LA. Both of those things were conditions, not trades. The NBA rules say trades can have no extra conditions attached to them.

[Baam]

Then the Wolves would be fucked....

[cd021]

If they do veto the deal and GSW holds firm on not trading Klay Thompson. The Celtics and Suns could be potential trade partners

Celtics Trade Assets: 6 first round picks over next two seasons.

Cavs pick (2016), Nets pick (2016), (Heat top 14 protected) 2015, Clippers pick 2015

Own both of their picks in 2015 and 2016

Kelly Olynyk (13th pick in 2014), Jared Sullinger, Jeff Green

Phoenix Suns Trade Assets:

Lakers (top 5 protected) 2015 pick, has own first rounders in 2015 and 2016

Alex Len (2013 3rd overall pick), Markieff Morris, Eric Bledsoe (S&T)

[spursparker9]

Nah, Adam Silver wouldn't dare to do that.

[Biernutz]

It won't happen. NBA has to give TNT,ESPN,FOX a good show. They have promoted LeBron so much as
they can't have him on a 8 seed team......The Cav's will play on Christmas Day vs. Lakers. They will play
on Sunday Afternoons on ABC......

[Das Texan]

too bad the nba wont put a stop to these stupid trades by not letting teams keep bird rights to players they trade for.

[Ice009]

I seriously doubt that they're going to do anything about it.

[admiralsnackbar]

Of course they won't.

[100%duncan]

They shouldn't. It makes things more interesting.
