Lead needs to step up his game, he came up a little short complaining us to victory. Those back to backs must be wearing on him.

He did say we were a first round exit around a week ago, so I'm feeling much better about our Finals chances now.

our path to the ECF is actually easier if we remain the 4 seed.

we will play the pacers, and assuming toronto doesn't get bounced by the wizards, we will play them in the 2nd round.

Sensible. Make LBJ a player/coach. Maybe less inclined to leave. I did not miss Lue.

Go, Cavs. Just win, baby!

I’d rather face a banged up boston team in round two than Toronto though

Last time TT got caught cheating on his pregnant girl, we won a title.

I’m just trying to spin this, because honestly this sucks.

I could care less about the cheating, but this crap one game left in the season? Right before playoffs?

Real life is so much more dramatic than fiction.

Just like when Josh got suspended the first time and it was reported the second night of the draft when we got Manziel.

Can't have any good news without some damn bad news.

Meh, I don't see it as that big of a deal. This happened back in October, so it's not like he did this recently. And he's not getting playoff minutes anyway, so I don't see how this really affects the team much. It's between TT and his girlfriend. Now, if he was caught making out with Gloria James, THEN I'd be concerned.

LOL when I saw this story the first thing I thought about was Delonte West.

I actually liked his game. Too bad he slept with LeBron's mom.

The article also said he was seen going into a motel room with another woman this past weekend. I'm afraid this story's going to follow us through the playoffs.

I can't wait till we're done with the Kardashian-West clan. We shipped Iman out now we just gotta wait to jettison TT. I hope Jordan Clarkson broke it off with Bella Hadid or he has to leave too.

He had a chick this past weekend, and one of those chicks apparently posted a sex tape on her IG last night.

Should have made it priority to move on from him. Worst contract/performance ratio we've ever had. Sooner he's gone the better

If it’s true we’re signing Kendrick Perkins I say we let th guy go and play Nance, Zizic and a Perkins at that spot.

Kevin Durant will make them pay. I hope that he goes the Lebron route, with a 1 year max deal, and a 1 year player option.

Kevin Durant will reportedly opt out of contract to restructure deal with Warriors - CBSSports.com
https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/kevin...-with-warriors/

When Kevin Durant re-signed with the Warriors over the summer he did so at a massive discount. The expectation was that he would take less than the max, but nobody expected him to sign the two-year $53 million deal he agreed to. It turns out, Durant didn't plan to stay in that contract for long.

According to Chris Haynes of ESPN, Durant plans to opt out of his contract in the upcoming summer to restructure his contract with the Warriors. In other words, he's going to set himself up to get paid a lot more money.
Golden State Warriors All-Star Kevin Durant plans to decline his player option for the 2018-19 season and become an unrestricted free agent this summer, league sources tell ESPN.

However, his time on the open market will be brief.

A nine-time All-Star and the reigning NBA Finals MVP, Durant will be turning down a salary of $26.2 million, a figure well below that for a player of his caliber, in order to restructure a new deal with the Warriors, sources said.

It has yet to be decided what contractual route Durant will take, sources say, but there are no real incentives -- for himself or for the team -- to take such a drastic reduction in pay this time around.

Durant's discount was so Golden State could re-sign players such as Andre Iguodala and Shaun Livingston, but it also has given him the flexibility to make another move in the offseason. That kind of leverage and freedom is something a lot of superstar players strive for in their contracts. It's something LeBron James has been doing for multiple seasons. Now, Durant can go out and get the money he thinks he's worth.

Anybody who is hoping this will lead to the end of Durant's time with Golden State should probably wish for something else. Durant is only opting out so he can re-sign with the Warriors on another deal. The chances of him leaving Golden State are as close to zero as it gets.

I'm all for TT being released. Truthfully, the guy's play of recent isn't worth it. None of it.

I truly believe he's out of the rotation too come playoffs like what's been reported, so just move on.

Problem is you can't really "release" players in the NBA. The contract stays on the cap. And any player we sign to replace his spot on the roster is triple the cost because of the luxury tax.

Haven't we already done that with Perkins? It's on NBA.com we signed him so I'm taking it as a legit source.

So the only reason the Bucks would try to win tonight would be to avoid playing the Raptors as the 8 seed...

If they lose, and MIA and WSH wins ( which is going to happen ), they play the Raptors.

If they win and we win, then they play us in the first round.

If they win and we lose, they play the 76ers.

The ideal scenario for them is to Lose and hope that one of either MIA or WSH loses.
