Think he posted in the wrong thread. Finals thread was debating trading Kobe instead of Shaq and the Lakers still having the same amount of success.
 
You don't ask LeBron to take a pay cut if you're the Heat unless it's 2-3 mill. The dudes around him should be taking pay cuts to be on his team.

this
as powerful and succesful as arison and riley are, you got a guy like lebron who basically is a once in a generation player and runs miami in terms of ball. he isnt the guy that should be taking a paycut/discount in his prime yrs. if they are serious about retooling they have to consider moving wade for some pieces, cause he sure as hell isnt opting out in his condition


did kd delete his apology as well? :lol
what part of the game is that?

 [h1]AP Source: Cavaliers offer Blatt coaching job[/h1]

CLEVELAND (AP) - The Cavaliers' lengthy coaching search could be nearing its conclusion.

Cleveland offered successful European coach David Blatt its coaching job Thursday night and is discussing a contract with him, said a person who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the team is not commenting.

After an exhaustive, five-week search, the Cavs zeroed in on Blatt to make him their third coach in three years.

Yahoo! first reported Cleveland's offer to Blatt.

The 55-year-old Blatt recently resigned as coach of Maccabi Tel Aviv, this year's Euroleague champion, to pursue his dream of coaching in the NBA. He was coveted as an assistant by Minnesota and Golden State.

Blatt, who was born in Massachusetts and played at Princeton, is regarded as one of the game's best offensive strategists. Cavs general manager David Griffin set out to find an offensive-minded coach after the club fired Mike Brown on May 12.

Blatt's possible hiring comes just a week before the Cavs will pick first in the NBA draft. Cleveland's options with the top overall selection may have been reduced with the stunning development that Kansas center Joel Embiid will have surgery to repair a stress fracture in his right foot. Embiid was one of three candidates - Andrew Wiggins and Jabari Parker are the others - being considered by the Cavs.

Embiid's agent, Arn Tellem, said the 7-footer will be unable to participate in any additional workouts and will not attend the draft in New York. Embiid was given a thorough exam last week by the Cavs, who had Wiggins in on Wednesday and are scheduled to visit with Parker on Friday.

The Cavs embarked on their exhaustive search after Brown, who was quickly re-hired last summer by Cavs owner Dan Gilbert, was fired for the second time following a disappointing, playoff-less 33-49 season. One of the league's youngest teams, the Cavs never gelled under the defensive-minded Brown.

Griffin had face-to-face interviews with at least seven known candidates, including former head coaches Alvin Gentry, Lionel Hollins and Vinny Del Negro and some highly regarded assistants in Tyronn Lue, Adrian Griffin and Mark Price, a former All-Star point guard for the Cavs.

Gilbert reportedly tried to lure Kentucky coach John Calipari, but he signed a long-term extension at the school.

Blatt emerged as a strong possibility after announcing last week that he was leaving Maccabi Tel Aviv, which he guided to a stunning win over Real Madrid for the Euroleague title. Although he may not be well known in the U.S., Blatt has established himself as one of international basketball's top coaches.

He won numerous European titles over the past two decades and led Russia to a bronze medal at the 2012 London Olympics.

Blatt has a reputation for being a demanding coach, unafraid to let a player know when he's not performing up to expectations. That in-your-face approach might work well in Europe, but he may have to tone it down in the NBA, where high-paid players can be tougher to motivate.
