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

[kengriffeyjr]

Lebron wants Drose. Drose wants a ring.

Imo this puts cavs > gsw. Cavs needed a 3rd legitimate scorer, and now just might get it.

thoughts?


ayyyy

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.

fuk the nbe is getting so exciting

rose will pretty much be playing for free, too.

cavs/wolves finals, with the bulls getting the #1 pick would probably be the goat season, tbh

[CobyWan]

Rose isn't enough to top the scales in the Cavs favor.

[kengriffeyjr]

kyrie + drose backcourt? lawd

The Cavs are believed to be offering Rose a minimum contract for $2.1 million for the upcoming seasons to play with Kyrie Irving in the team's backcourt.

[sooby]

surprised that nobody wanted to take a chance on D-rose, so now the Cavs come along and have to offer him poverty money because they are way above the salary cap thanks to lebron

Thibodeau is too much of a tunnel vision ******* to make the finals. Shame because a coach like poppovich would have feasted on the nbe with the roster on the wolves. I think it'll be cavs vs warriors again. Just need to somehow get wade traded to the cavs.

[HawksFanRuss]

Knee Rose should be a good pickup

[crossedover]

I'm worried about pooh jr tho. He'll go starving with just 2.1 mil

[HoustonMiscer]

Lol Derrick Rose is finished

[jinda628]

Lol Derrick Rose is finished

Is he injured again?
Rose averaged 18ppg, about 4 rebs and 4 ast last season. That will be a bargain for $2.1M contract when players averaging less than that is getting $15M up.
He also averaged less TOs than Lebron and Kyrie last season.

Lol even if he plays half the season, that's still a huge discount.

[Mparserz]

So another guy that doesn't play defense and questionable health?

[Steavie]

As if Cavs could even afford to pay 5 more mil at this point...

[Trapstar4.4]

lmao come on man..

[compan]

Who is LeBron's back-up if/when Rose goes down?

[mvpshaq32]

oh so it's fair if Lebron adds a former MVP?

[HoustonMiscer]

oh so it's fair if Lebron adds a former MVP?

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

[tekkenbruh]

So the backcourt will be Kyrie and discount Kyrie? Yeah, that's not gonna work

[kengriffeyjr]

oh so it's fair if Lebron adds a former MVP?

Magic/Lakers meeting with Rose today as well.

the 2 best slashers + most acrobatic finishers in the league. it would be fun at least

[Vhagar]

kyrie + drose backcourt? lawd

Lmao

So much for that max deal he thought he was getting

[LiveOnce]

Nothing new for the cavs. Sign washed up players like Mike dunleavy, James Jones, Kyle korver, Richard Jefferson, deron Williams and now D Rose

[WafflesBrah]

so they are going to add another guy that can't play defense lol. He's a good scorer but that's it.

[Sikhveins]

Does lebron have enough help yet? Someone please send the man Anthony Davis too so he can finally have a decent team around him that will allow him to compete.

GSW stacking up players with vet min. no one bats an eye. CLE trying hardest to compete even if it's not enough "does lebron have enough help yet" "highest payroll" "lebron please don't put in my ass again"

Yawn


D.Rose for $2 mill they need to pursue this. But lawd that luxury tax bill gonna hurt. He'd be adding another $6+ mil. Cavs are f'd

[RiceBrah93]

If this trade happens, Cavs > GSW

It's just sad to see a former MVP coming off the bench but at least he has a chance to finally win a ring.

Certainly a HUGE upgrade over Deron Williams/Shumpert. He was the best offensive player on the knicks post ASB, srs. 19 ppg, 50% FG, 57% TS.

Rose expected to make his decision over weekend between Cavs, Lakers

18, 4, 4 is a 25m/yr player. let's be honest.

that's because the Cavs did all this before the Warriors became what they became and yet they're the ones that need more help lmao

and players that can actually provide meaningful NBA minutes want to play in GS with Curry unlike Leaveland with LeDictator at the helm

[Belome]

and players that can actually provide meaningful NBA minutes want to play in GS with DURANT, unlike Leaveland with LeDictator at the helm

Is the correct answer.
