If you only ever saw LJ play for the Knicks, you'd have trouble believing he was once the same guy flying about in this clip.

Ugh, once upon a time we were supposed to be the team of the 90s, kinda like The Simpsons or Seinfeld. Instead we ended up more like Dinosaurs.
I remember back at the start of the 95-96 season thinking how great that conference was going to be with The old (Bulls, Knicks and Indiana) vs the new (Charlotte and Orlando). While I was a Bulls fan I never would have thought the Bulls would advance to the finals the next 3 years with only one serious challenger in Indiana.

It's the market nowadays, above average players get a huge pay-cheque.
Generally yes, but he's the type of player that is an exception to the rule, and Monroe clearly thinks he's worth even more than that.

I look at 5 / $60 mil and agree it's the market but for Monroe to be holding out for even more thinking there is a team that will pay him even more baffles me.

Firstly:





Secondly, if Bledsoe takes the $3.7mil qualifying offer he's got more faith in his knees than any sane person in the universe.

So apparently Love for Wiggins, Bennett and a first.

Good deal for both sides. Cavs get Love and are now an instant contender.

Wolves now get to fast forward their re-build.
Wiggins, Bennett, LaVine, Rubio, Dieng, Bazz is some good young talent. I think they'll look to move K-Mart straight away, and might move Pek mid-season depending on how Dieng looks.

Rubio to LaVine/Wiggins has some great highlight potential.

Think we'll look to move Bennett and the first in some sort of deal for Thad Young or similar. As it stands one of Bennett/Dieng/Turiaf/Brewer puts in big minutes at PF which is sure to bring plenty of lols.
