Your 5 pages of ranting about the NBA rigging the regular season game between the Rockets and Bulls.

That idiotic comment about about the NBA bending over for LeBron when the main reason he is back in Cleveland is because the NBA's new CBA was about to bend over the Heat with Luxury tax penalties.

Mozgov makes 4.6m the next two years and the Cavs have an injury exception. Moron.

I dont seriously think its an inside job. But LeBron does get unusual support from the NBA because he is a superstar. The Kevin Love deal for instance, or how all the respectable aging free agents all sign with the Cavs after being on the Heat ( james Jones, Mike Miller, Shawn Marion)

Same thing occurred on the Heat (Ray Allen, Danny Granger, Mike Miller followed him there, Rashard Lewis). They were even signing with the heat before LeBron officially left. No other player gets that much favoritism on player personnel acquisitions.

I think you have to be crazy not to consider an exterior element effecting the outcome other than the two teams playing on the floor. I'm not saying its true, but you're just being ignorant if you can't imagine a situation where there is that situation. Believe it or not, games being rigged has occurred in sports before....so while its highly improbable, it still has a small chance. Try thinking about it from a perspective different from your own for once and eliminate the arrogance about your own NBA knowledge because you don't exactly have the knowledge you probably think.

So your argument is the Cavs are clearly doing something illegal over the cap but the league is letting it slide and no other owner or GM or analyst is going to say anything about it?

Think that one through for a sec.

Mortgaging the future for Timofey Mozgov
Why would you think 2 late 1st round picks are "the future?"

Bron Bron did not always get what he wanted as a Heat player.

They had to amnesty Miller for example for financial reasons.

Huh, I wonder why that is.

Surely not because he's one of the greatest players ever. Nah, that can't be it!!

Meh, if you're in the top 5 in the NBA or you expect to be, draft picks don't mean a hell of a lot. Those picks aren't likely to make the roster anyway.

Which was about the best deal possible for the Timberwolves. Some could the best return for a superstar forcing their way out in recent years.

Guys chase rings late in their careers. Shocking.

Cavs have that Haywood contract as well.. will likely net them a first round pick or multiple 2nds.

Depends how you use them. The Spurs have extended their reign in large part to how well they draft.

Mozgov has a team option for next year at $4.9mm
that is why he was worth two 1st Rd picks

At this point, those will be late second rounders.

Very true, but they're obviously the exception and most other teams haven't had the same success with late draft picks.
