92.9 made a good point about all this. Why would Joe give up 3 million dollars just to play for the Hawks?  Veterans give up money for RINGS.   I didnt even think about it, but makes more sense that he would sign with Cleveland.

I have a different perspective... that $3m isn't some arbitrary figure. It's the ballpark figure for the Room MLE that several teams can offer. My take is that Joe wants every penny, or nearly every penny, he is supposed to make, and that at that number, he's going to get that plus the opportunity to play in the playoffs with someone capable of making some noise.

The room is not worth that much. It's declining each day from January at 1/170th of its original $2.814m. Not even rounding can get the room and $3m to match up.

OKC could offer Joe the taxpayer MLE that might match up, but that doesn't apply to the Hawks so I don't have an interest to figure it out.

Would we not offer him to start? He has to be coming off the bench with the Heat.

 

Oh well. We are not winning with or without Joe.

Such click bait. You know damn well he will go to Cleveland or Miami over us in a NY minute. One star thread 

Sometimes I hate being right.

Damn.  The League sources has proclaimed that it's Miami??

 

This makes no sense.

No big deal as far as them versus us for the division and beyond.  He's too lazy to guard ball movement and Wade and/or Riley will question his heart sooner than later.

An article I read about JJ yesterday said it would be Saturday at 5:00 (or 5:30(?)) before he would clear waivers.  If that is true, how could he sign today?  Lowe may be right, but it sounds a little fishy to me.

As expected, RealGM says we're looking at Kevin Martin.  Wouldn't bring much in terms of D but he is an off-ball and shooting savant.  

I never realized he was 6'7" and averages 18 for his career.  Thoughts?

I said that 4 days ago, before K Mart was bought out.

Shame that players prefer to choose the easy way, riding the coat tails of others,  rather than wanting to be the one who took their team to a higher level themselves.  Hope Joe thinks it through thoroughly.

So are the Heat going to start Joe over Wade and Deng?

They'll go small, and play JJ at PF.  Because Whiteside is such a dominant rebounder and rim protector, they can get away with playing small ball.

I don't know.  The Heat aren't that good.   This is far from ring chasing in my opinion.   Cleveland is head and shoulders the way to go if you're ring chasing.
