Likely won't be announced until at least a week from tomorrow.
While the deal can technically be completed on the 23rd, that's a Saturday and the League offices are closed on then how weekends. So probably the first we will hear anything from the NBA or the Cavs themselves will be next Monday the 25th.
The All Star voting won't come down to Kyrie vs. Rose. I think they'll both be starters if Rose is healthy. I think Wade will be the odd man out this year.
Hopefully Kyrie doesn't get voted in. If he does, he gets a nice bump in pay and it hurts our flexibility. An ideal situation would be Rose and Wade/Rondo/Wall getting voted in.
Wall has no shot of getting in over Kyrie. Kyrie crushed him in votes last year despite Wall having a better season and playing for a playoff team. This year, Kyrie will be one of the more exposed players in the league playing on a juggernaut with LeBron James and Kevin Love. He'll probably get more votes than Wade this season. He was only 70,000 votes behind him last year playing for a shitty Cleveland team with only a couple of national TV games.
Rose is really the only guy I could see getting more votes than Kyrie just through the sheer size of the Chicago fan base. Wade could keep it close and possibly beat him out, but I think Wade will take a hit by not being teamed up with LeBron and being on a much less relevant Miami team.
Yeah, I agree. I think he will get more votes because of the exposure and all of the bandwagon fans that Cleveland will have this year. I just hope that he doesn't .
While I agree it would be more beneficial for our cap going forward, I say fuck it. I want to see three All-Star starters from Cleveland in the same game.
It will have no effect. If I recall we offered him 27.5 percent, as opposed to 25% (see Paul George Deal). So basically we split the difference, and the Rose rule will not apply to him.
On the other hand, maybe the NBA will consider July 24 (the day Wiggins signed) as day 1. If that's the case, day 30 would be Friday. I can only dream.
I assume it would be thirty days starting from the time his contract was filed with the league office.
Can we get this Safari to 800+ pages before Love trade is announced?
Based on how awful the last 50 have been, I don't think anyone is prepared to write or read 20 more.
Everyone should save their energy for the welcome thread.
