It's gonna be interesting to see what happens. I think both of them want to stay and make the money, but the FO might be looking at it differently. Wonder what's gonna happen with Doc now, is he gonna want to stay on a team that's rebuilding?

Dude is totally overrated as a coach. Yeah I said it. No I'm not Glen Davis.

The funny thing is that a few years ago, Paul and Griffin put on the full court press to keep Deandre Jordan there. Now they are both bailing on his ass.

This. Clippers have a ton of talent yet underachieve year in and year out come playoff time. Jordan will probably get traded tho

If Hayward leaves Utah, I will be totally devastated. Basically we have no chance, ever. It's been a 5 season rebuild and I feel Dennis Lyndsey has been damn near perfect with building through the draft and FA. Hayward will leave to become another super team and that's that.

It's just unfair. Take GS out of the equation ant he stays, 100%. Super teams are ruining the NBA.

I hear what you're saying and it's definitely easy for me to disagree being a Warriors fan.

I think what would be better for the NBA is if in general teams were run better. I know that's super vague and subjective but teams are out there making bonehead decisions, year in and year out.

Lakers giving Deng and Mosgov $34 million a year? More defendable but Allen Crabbe and Evan Turner making a combined $35 million in Portland? That atrocious Jimmy Butler trade to the Timberwolves? The Knicks, Nets and Magic doing who knows what with their team. 76ers may finally be able to put out an OK team on the court this year if Embiid and Simmons can stay healthy (unlikely).

Are super teams an issue? Sure, I think it impacts the game when it's essentially just waiting for a Warriors Cavs Finals like this season. However, I don't think super teams are going anywhere, but it would be nicer if there were 4-6 teams with a realistic shot at winning than maybe 2-3.

It needs to stop. The MLB, NFL, and NHL all have great surprises each year and offer plenty of parity each year. Meanwhile, basketball is always a lock on who the top teams are and who have a realistic shot at winning. It's like, what's the point of being a fan each and every year if you know a Lebron led team is gonna make it to the Finals and the Spurs or Warriors make it from the West?

That's because basketball is a sport with only 5 players on the court at one time. If you have 3 stars, thats 60% of the players in the game being elite. Its the nature of the sport that you can have elite players touch the ball for such a high % of your plays. Not much you can change to prevent dynasties. Its just how the NBA operates.

Yeah, it's because one of their big three always ends up hurt come the playoffs.

Marc Stein of ESPN.com cited league sources who said the Pacers, Cleveland Cavaliers and Denver Nuggets have discussed a three-way deal that would send George to the Cavaliers and Kevin Love to Denver.

Wade and Melo are too old to make a significant difference.

PG would be a great pickup for them though.

I don't think Cavs are getting PG.

I think Wade is a possibility for a buyout...I don't think Knicks will do a buy out for Melo.

Melo is still clutch and the cavs could his 4th quarter scoring.

But i agree with 4ML, i don't think he's getting bought out...
