His "crime" is that he didn't want to tank, seeing it's a contract year for him... totally understandable, tbh
Cavs aren't keeping Kyrie. He's going to a big market franchise as soon as he can. So whichever team overpays point guards, that's where he'll be. These guys are stupid enough (with piss poor representation as well) that they expect max money and le chances at the same time as if they are going to send a team over the top in talent. Instead, they should learn from Lebron; take less, get talent, make it back in endorsements, win rings.
but there're s who play for nothing else but money, and those s would definitely take the teams giving away easy money rather than those where players have to earn their salary imho. And those guys ain't stupid as and they ain't delusional. It doesn't take a doctorate's degree for them to know they wouldn't have any legit chance to win the championship, but they don't care that much about winning rings. Fact is, few teams have won the NBA championship since the post-Jordan era ever began, so for most players, they have realistic minds and would be satisfied as long as they get finely rewarded in the form of money. Maybe they'll coattail ride a stacked team and win several rings the Gay-Payton way, but it's gonna be a whole different story imho.
Looks like the deal is dead in the water. Cleveland will waive Bynum themselves
Hard to believe they can't get anything at all for him. I fully expect Bynum to sign with Heat, Clippers, or OKC.

Not sure the Heat have room.
They'll probably find some exception to use so that they could snag Bynum up
They are going to win it all anyhow, no need to spend more money. On the other hand, OKC needs a real center instead of Perkins.
Mavs need a center too, I mean a center who can do a bit more than just clog the lane and grab some cheap rebounds tbh.
CROFL. Fredo couldn't even close the deal on the salary dump.
They'll waive Mason, Oden, or Jones most likely
Miller?
Still on the payroll even after the amnesty.
Yes, but does it not count against the cap or does Miami still have no room for Bynum? Or he signs for the minimum?
Either Bynum or Oden would be a HUGE upgrade over Blair/Dalembert tbh.
I would laugh on the inside if the Cavs traded Bynum to the Lakers only to have him bought out to join Miami and help Bron win another le. Dan Gilbert![]()
Doesn't count against the cap nor luxury tax, but even with Miller cut they still have 15 players on their roster and would have to cut one more to make room for Bynum.
That would be the last of their problems. Mason/Jones maybe...
January schedule looks mighty sweet

Parker or Embiid pls.
They had a nice tank going on and now win back to back.
What's up with that?
I'd like to lay some cash on these clowns but with their history of scams, whats goin on?
Need to lose to Bulls ...
Magic and NYK are winnable games unfortunately
