    Ian Clark fits a lot better than Rose does, but Clark is reportedly looking for around 8M on average

    Windhorst and Wojnarowski are reporting Rose "has met with several teams over the past three weeks, including the Milwaukee Bucks and Los Angeles Clippers, but he has gained momentum on a deal with the Cavs in the past several days."

    That report suggested Rose wants to play for a contender, which could hurt the Lakers' chances in his pursuit given the relative youth of the team's current roster.

    But Chris Haynes of ESPN reported that playing for a contending team may not be atop Rose's wish list:

    Sources say Derrick Rose "just wants to play ball," so it appears whichever team can sell its atmosphere, defined role will have advantage.

    Both sides of the argument can be true and Rose is just not clear right now what is more important to him.

    But on the Cav's side, is this some kind of last ditch effort to convince Lebron that the Cavs are trying to improve the team after those reports that Lebron was not happy.

    If so, that's a stupid and useless move. That won't move the needle.

    I guess CLE is now in position where they have to try for a deal like this because their payroll is flooded and they don't have a lot of options.
    I can't wait to find out why Gilbert nixed the Jimmy Butler trade that they had lined up.
    I think I know why..
    This " LeBron leaving " thing is an old familiar episode and LeBron and Gilbert have always had a shaky relationship, even before he left the 1st time.
    Gilbert may be getting a familiar feeling, from LeBron's actions and maybe his camp's as well, that LeBron is about to leave and if LeBron leaves..Gilbert is probably going super-cheap with that roster/payroll.
    Might trade Kyrie for expirings and Love as well..just bottom out and get into the lottery again ( we know CLE is good for that).
    There was a rumor at one point that LeBron's camp had actually told Jimmy Butler to stay put in CHI as well.
    Wouldn't shock me if both LeBron and Gilbert feel like they got their 1 championship, can't beat the Warriors, both ready to move on

    Maybe they should sign Fletch to mentor Zo?
    He truly defines grace under pressure

    So maybe CLE is trying for Rose to " replace " Kyrie? Smh
    We're getting LeBron. Haha
    Cat's out of the bag a year early..LAL/CLE may as well just pull a trade now that way CLE can tank
    Deng + Clarkson + Randle, done

    With Deng the $ are too big. Clarkson and Randle are about $15Mm and Kyrie is $18MM. Clarkson/Randle/Kuzma.....Get it DONE Magic!!!

    I was waiting for that. I actually don't want Kyrie. Interferes with Ball's development, and does not fit with the teams makeup. Plus IF MGT is trying to get Bron here next year it sounds like Kyrie does not want to be on a team with Bron.

    Ball is the guy so put the Kyrie stuff away in a hope chest. Woj just tweeted the preferred destination is San Antonio. Mgmt can do what they want but it makes more sense to go there not here.

    What on Earth made you think I was proposing a LAL/Kyrie trade in the 1st place?
    This is the " LeBron to LAL " train.
    Deng + Clarkson + Randle for LEBRON.
