Lebron in serious talks with Derrick Rose, 1 yr deal.

[HughBMyron]

I'd like to apologize about insulting your home, my friend.

I've educated myself now and would like to commend you and your people on a very interesting territory that should be respected. If anyone else would like to actually learn something on here please scroll through the remainder of my post.


10 Interesting Facts – Northwest Territories

10. Nahanni national park was not only Canada’s first UNESCO world heritage, but rumours have it there are several undiscovered species within the park, that includes new types of bears, wolves, large cats and yeti (bigfoot). This is due to the incredible size and geography of the park that leaves more than 80% of the grounds unmapped and untouched by explorers.

9. NWT is actually the world’s second largest producer of diamonds in the world. The diamonds found in the Arctic territory are not only more pure than the diamonds found in africa, but they are of an overall higher quality and mined ethically where each worker is paid quite a fair wage.

8. The northern lights are visible nearly 250 days out of the entire year! That is the most visibility anywhere on earth!

7. Inuvik is Canada’s northern most official town. Sure there are settlements further north but these settlements do not have a year round population. Inuvik does have a stable year round population, services such as a post office, sewage system and a water system.

6. One may think an Arctic territory like the NWT wouldn’t have much of a problem with forest fires but that is quite untrue. During the summer NWT actually has the most land destroyed by wildfires out of any other province in Canada. Luckily the land is sparely populated so most of the damage is to wilderness and not urban or rural areas.

5. As the title suggests, the Northwest Territories has no political parties. Canada is a country with several major parties (5 at this time) yet this territory does not affiliate with any, elections are held and the people vote in candidates by their name not their party. It needs to be noted that when the NWT is represented in parliament the elected officials from Yellowknife will be assigned to which ever party is in control at that time.

4. Each winter residents of Yellowknife (The only city in Northwest Territories) get together and build massive snow forts. These forts can be as big as, or larger than actual buildings in the city!

3. Yellowknife holds the record for the worlds most profitable coffee shop on the planet! The city of 40,000 has just one Tim Hortons and this shop is booming 24/7.

2. The Northwest Territories Supreme court is held by an all female staff, this would make it the worlds only all female court, and yes, it runs very efficiently!


1. If you want to make the big bucks in Canada mostly everyone would think you need to move to Alberta right? Wrong! Per capita residents in the NWT earn on average nearly $20,000 more per year, even the average income is higher in the Northwest Territories by nearly $500 over Alberta!

Cavs need a 3rd scorer/shot creater/ball handler. Outside of Lebron & Kyrie, they have no one to do any of those things. Signing Rose, who's still an offensive talent, would address that.

Lebron and Irving handle the ball most of the time.

Are you suggesting their gonna start using two balls to facilitate Lil'BroN's team?

We on the other hand have basically the perfect team because we're super efficient.

By having essentially nothing but outside shooters we can score a ton of points really fast on minimal shot attempts.

Cavs only chance is to get stops is to disrupt our pace by having better defense esp. on the perimeter, make sure to grab as many rebounds as possible, and give Lil'BroN more reliable outside shooters to dish out to.

Lil'BroN needs to play better defense and stop deferring late in the 4th quarter and Kyrie ultimately takes too long to get most of his shots off, while he's taking 20 seconds to make a 2, we can come right back and make a 3 in less than 10 seconds.

If they adequately addressed all of that I think they'd actually be able to beat us handily.

[WestAfrica]

Because he injured his knee again at the last minute of last season, that was the dealbreaker. If he remained healthy people would be saying he's back to his MVP form and who knows, could've ended up in New Orleans as the starting PG

Also Derrick Rose signing with the Cavs would mean every NBA MVP winner from 2009-2016 would be on either Cleveland or Golden State.

He would be getting signed for 2.5 million...

[tekkenbruh]

All I've gotten from this thread is that if you say anything that doesn't paint Curry as a demigod you are automatically a Lebron fan and that Lakers/Warriors stans spend unhealthy amount of time coming up with all sorts of "le" nicknames despite posting over and over how Lebron isn't even worth thinking about. Interdasting.

[FakeRabona]

You guys are acting like the Cavs have to compete with the Warriors next year. The Cs are gonna beat em in 6. That roster got better at every spot.

People are choosing to ignore this. Real ballers know; the Celtics are a juggernaut.

Good luck winning the East this year, LeBron.

why bold the muslim part tho as if that has any bearing on the sports misc? or most things in general?

Its the MISC, *******s are gonna *******

[jalundah]

lol at anyone who thinks the celtics are gonna beat the cavs next year. they added a good offensive player but got rid of their best defensive player, and their second best defensive player will now see significantly less minutes because of Hayward.

and this.

although they will play something like Isaiah/Smart/Hayward/Crowder/Horford. But Smart's 3pt shooting of peace, not only was Bradley a great defender but a very good 3 point shooter. Good locker room guy too. I think they will miss him a lot and am not completely sold on the fact they are going to be significantly better next season.

I think it hinges a lot on the development of Jaylen and Jayson

[dontwantnohoe]

Derrick Rose is finished, he is an afterthought. Lol at trying to compare the two.

This. Brahs in here acting like this is the same Rose from 2011. Just lol

Can always count on the misc for a good laugh.

[jinda628]

Maybe now they will have the same defense as the Cavs. Celtics was #18 last year and Cavs @ #22.

But Cavs are #2 in Offensive Efficiency and Boston was #9 last season. I wonder how much Boston will improve in offense.

I still doubt Celtics will beat Cavs in the ECF though.

[anonymous]

Cle really blew their chances not getting PG or Butler- Y'know, 2-way guys who play defense

Rose is a defensive just like kyrie, cavs should have traded love and jr for PG + a paint defender.

[DreamerCut]

Imo this puts cavs > gsw

[GotNext]

Its: GSW > HOU > OKC > CLE > BOS

D.Rose changes nothing about that order (neither does Melo to HOU).

You think OKC is better than CLE? What about SAS? IMO san antonio could still possibly beat houston in a 7 game series even with CP3 in the picture, can never count them out. I think they'd still beat OKC and most definitely Boston.

[kengriffeyjr]

Update: Lebron calls for sit down meeting with Rose. Fears losing him to lonzo & the big ballers

I think Westbrook is such a nightmare when he compresses the opponents defense, he will get Paul George incredible looks. I think they have an albatross in Kanter which they should have flipped for a better bench, but with Roberson and PG they look better defensively (Roberson for the toughest guard assignment, PG on the toughest wing assignment and Adams can hold his own down low). So far CLE has not improved at all, and coming off a finals loss, front-office chaos and looming LeBron departure, I think they will struggle overall. Not enough to not make the Finals, but thats about it.

Spurs - unfortunately - did not get better IMO. Lost Dedmon, who was a solid rim protector for them and brought athleticism, lost Simmons who Pops was high on for good reason, Tony is coming off a bad injury, Manu is a year older, so is Pau once he is resigned. LMA lost all his mojo, so not even Kawhi, who is gonna have another MVP-season, can make them better than the above mentioned teams. At least not on paper. Obviously Pop's mastermind is factor x.

[kengriffeyjr]

WOW - Kyrie says he doesn't want to play with Lebron anymore. Demands trade

If Rose says "nah bro, i'm sweet" to a starting gig in Lebronland to be a big baller in LA with Lonzo & Lavar, then OH BOYO!, the LeCrumble is real

[MmmmGummyBears]

I think the Cavs are further away from being a real threat to GSW than most think. GSW isn't great only because they have a stacked lineup, but because that stacked lineup has excellent chemistry.

^ ...

[MmmmGummyBears]

Hell naw. These guys are on some real life 2k chit. Really??? They don't give a chit about chemistry. They're just bringing a bunch of all stars together and hoping that all goes well.

[Mparserz]

So I guess Rose was being brought in to replace Kyrie.

Hahahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahhahahhahahahhahah ahhahahahahhahahahahahhahahahhahahaha.

still going to the finals

still going to lose.

These past couple of years have been the most interesting in the history of NBA when it comes to trades. Everyone is trying to create superteams, you can thank Durcant for that.
