Yeah, I like the offer they made. 12 mil for one year with a team option for a second year. If he's as good or almost as good as he was in LA then he makes them a dangerous five or six seed. If he stinks or can't stay on the court, then cut him loose and continue the rebuilding process.

12 million still to much to pay for Bynum.

Big man tax. There are only so many skilled seven footers out there.

Maybe for a different team. It's definitely a gamble, but one that could definitely pay off for them and doesn't really hurt what they're doing right now. They didn't have to give up any of their young core to make room. They were probably done chasing after any big free agent pieces after getting Jack. They can ditch him after one year if it doesn't work out and it sounds like even if they pick up the year 2 option, they'd still have plenty of flexibility to chase LeBron next summer. It seems like a pretty smart chance to take.

That draft he was in was possibly one of the worst ever.

if he is healthy, the Cavs will be very attractive for LBJ next year.

One of my dreams for the 2013-14 TV season is for someone on Shark Tank to completely disregard Cuban's business advice and cite his post-championship management of the Mavericks as the reason why.

You realize that Don Nelson is the General Manager of the Dallas Mavericks, right? That Mark Cuban doesn't actually manage the club?

Do you seriously believe all Cuban does is write the checks? Child please.

I'm pretty sure they at least check-in with the guy footing the bill before blowing up the defending NBA champion roster. I know some owners are pretty hands off, but I highly doubt Cuban is one of them. They swung for the fences with big free agents because that's the route Cuban told them to go.

While that looks like a poor draft based on star power, most of those guys had/have long NBA careers.

??? By my count half those guys flamed out pretty quickly.

Birdman! Birdman!

Chris Andersen to re-sign with Miami Heat - sources - ESPN

And why would he go anywhere else when he's still getting paid by the Nuggets too and could be a part of a 3-peat.

I just don't think the Heat are going to get better. I believe Wade and Bosh are declining.

Bynum has signed for the Cavs

Also Monta Ellis breaks up with his agent. He should have accepted the Bucks' offer.

Wade might be, Bosh certainly isn't. Long-term they will need to find a Center though because I don't know how many years Bosh has left of being able to play center for long stretches.

Are you ****ing me? Bosh ****ing BLOWS!

Lebron will then opt out and team up with some younger superstars in LA in 2014.
