    Speaking of Cleveland pounding sand, the Cavs will not ask the city of Cleveland to finance arena renovations.

          Looks like deal is finalized per a few sources. Cavs get a meaningless 2nd rounder added to their haul.

            Do you think the Celtics are now favored in the East?

                They are probably a year away from being #1 in the east. However, they will actually compete with the Cavs this year should they meet in the playoffs, unlike last season where the Cavs basically gave them a token win. Last year's team was solid, but it was just an NBA championship pretender who had reached their ceiling with the talent they had. The NBA has plenty of 50+ win teams year in and year out that never sniff the NBA championship.

                  If, for some reason, Lebron stays with the Cavs after this season, they will be the favorite in the East for about the next 3 years. That's just about how long Lebron can be Lebron. And then the bottom will drop out.

                  Lebron has played 41,272 minutes in his career, plus playoffs. If he plays about 2,700 minutes per season (75 games x 36 minutes/game per season), in three years he'll be at roughly 49,400 minutes in his career. For some perspective, Kobe played 48,637 minutes in his career. Only 5 guys in NBA history have topped 50,000 minutes: Abdul Jabbar, Karl Malone, Garnett, Kidd and Hayes. Given Lebron's body type and his playing style, once he goes much above 48,000, he's not going to age gracefully. When he goes, he's probably going to go quick. That's probably going to be about 3 years from now.

                      Yeah, I think he plays one more year in Cleveland, loses yet another championship series to Golden State, then decides to sign with someone like San Antonio out west to take them down with a better supporting cast. That leaves new look Celtics in the drivers seat to at least make the Finals and hope the Warriors and other teams start getting old or breaking up.

                        That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

                          The NBA governing board is meeting to vote on draft lottery reform. From what I understand, they're trying to reduce the incentive to tank the season, like the Sixers did in 2014.

                            Probably the most fair system out there is what's known in the NHL as the Gold Plan (as soon as you're mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, you begin accumulating points toward the draft...the crappiest teams theoretically get eliminated first and have the most chances to accumulate points.)

                            Although I like Bill Simmons' Entertaining as Hell Tournament (top 7 seeds per conference autoqualify for the playoffs, all other teams enter a single elimination tournament, conference vs. conference, conference winners in the tournament get the 8 seeds then play each other, winner gets the #1 pick in the draft.)
