Ryan Gomes has signed a three year, $12 million contract with the Clippers, his agent, Bob Myers, tells Y! Sports.

[ace3g]

at least that contract is pretty reasonable, should help now going after some of the other SF

The Cleveland Cavaliers just issued a 160 word statement out of GM Chris Grant, and here were two words missing in it: LeBron James.


Im gonna pull this out of thin air.

Reports were all day the Cavs were confident he was coming back...


I wonder if last night he committed to them, then this morning changed his mind and never told em...

that's the kind of deal RJ should get

[clubalien]

that's the kind of deal RJ should get

but that wouldn't be a huge trade exemption for us then

Multiple police cars are protecting the witness billboard in downtown CLE.

As much as I want you to be right - there is ABSOLUTELY no way at all that RJ settles for that. Can you imagine opting out of a $15M per year deal and taking significantly less total money spread over a 3 year period?

[noles1983]

Lol @ Cleveland fans rioting, I dont blame James. Who would want to live in that suckhole longer than they have to? Cleveland goes back to being irrelevant...in anything

If RJ takes a deal in that range, then I would much rather have him than the TE for that amount. We aren't getting anyone better than RJ for $4M/yr IMHO.

Hmmm can't to see this poster's reaction to said same thing after Tim Duncan retires.

@SpearsNBAYahoo

Raps & MIA having tough sign and trade conversations, but Hou & Char still willing 4-way trade partners. Raps want picks and salay cap space

If you're Toronto, you have them right where you want them, and should be able to pillage practically every pick they've got...right?

[noles1983]

Hmmm can't WAIT to see this poster's reaction to said same thing after Tim Duncan retires.

fixed

And I will say the same, I live in SA and would love to move if I could

So instead of "My incredible talent is super amazing" or whatever, he'd just say "LeBron's LeBron LeBron is LeBron LeBron." Nice.

No, because Bosh claimed on National TV he was willing to go without a sign and trade. Meaning the Raptors can watch him leave for nothing or they can take scraps

Cleveland civil unrest officially underway? RT @WhitlockJason: Uh oh RT @jjengirll: just saw 8 dudes flip a car over, is going down!!! 2 minutes ago via TweetDeck


Oh man...

Yea, not quite the same thing.

[EricB]

Yea, not quite the same thing.

Insulting a city about going into obscurity after its superstar leaves?

Hmmm......

Forgive me, I've been avoiding all the TV stuff and keeping track of it via internet. Still, I think Raptors will get a nice haul.

Hmmm......

nope, not the same. They have professional baseball, basketball and football teams, all of which suck. SA on the other hand only have basketball that will suck after Timmy. So therefore Cleveland sucks more.

In other words:

Cavs + Indians + Browns = massive suckage
Spurs post Timmy = regular suckage

Hey, I heard SA might get a pro soccer team . . .

the fact that the trending topic "lebron's decision" is immediately above one that says "involuntary manslaughter" seems eerily well played

lol

[noles1983]

Hey, I heard SA might get a pro soccer team . . .

Really? that would be cool, i would watch that even if they suck

[TDMVPDPOY]

if the raptors do a sign and trade with the heat, so bosh will be 120/6, wade same offer from heat

so bron is taking a paycut?

[EricB]

Damn S y Smith on the reaction out of Cleveland

"Second worst thing to ever happen"

When Lebron said his heart will always be in Cleveland they responded

"We don't want it"

Lebron officially the second most hated person in Cleveland.
