I don't follow college basketball that much, but this seems like a really weak draft overall. Rockets had a lackluster one to be sure. Seems like the 76ers, Suns, and Celtics did pretty well. Impossible to tell right now.

He still has Westbrook, and they were close last year.

SnoBorderZeroSo is LeBron leaving Cleveland again? I hear/read he's trying to get a ridiculous contract and is a free agent now.

He's not leaving, but he is trying to be the highest paid player and you can't really fault him for it, he is the best in the league and has taken pay cuts in the past.
The overpaying has already begun. The Knicks are offering an absurd amount of money to Joakim Noah. I like Noah, but the guy has no offensive game and played 29 games last year, definitely not worth the estimated 4 years for $72mil. Jeremy Lin was overpaid to play for the shitty Nets, Whiteside is staying with Miami, and the Lakers gave Mozgov way too much money.

But between the salary cap and over 36 rule, it might not be possible. So he's gonna go for the closest thing possible. |

Westbrook might leave too. If he does, which team do you see him going to? Oh, and what are your thoughts on D-Rose going to the Knicks and Wade being tempted by the Nuggets? |

Wade signing with the Bulls is a total shock, I guess he finally got tired of being lowballed by the Heat even though he's not the player he once was.
D-Rose to the Knicks... eh not sure. He hasn't shown much in recent years, but the Knicks starting lineup is rounding out okay. But Rose and Noah aren't the same as they were.
Westbrook will definitely leave at some point or another. Word is that Durant was tired of Westbrook being a selfish teammate. I still feel like Durant will play 2 or 3 seasons with Golden State and then go back to Oklahoma City, LeBron style.

I heard Westbrook has one season left, but he might get traded cause he's a flight risk. Oklahoma rather handle things their way as opposed to losing another star player. So with that in mind, where do you see Westbrook heading? |

I would've said the Knicks before they got Rose, and while I'm sure he'd love to play in LA the Clippers have Paul and the Lakers are still a dumpster fire and will be for some time. So... I don't know. A bigger market I'd assume, but most of those don't need a PG or aren't a good team.

All of the contenders already have a solid PG. Rockets certainly need one, but other than Harden we have nothing to offer. |

Rockets certainly need one Everyone needs something. LeBron is too dominant and the Warriors are TOO dominant. Are we gonna spend the next 3 or 4 years watching the same teams at the finals? Now that the NBA has more money, invest it on balancing teams. The NBA hasn't been this boring since ONE Black guy played in the league. |

Westbrook is a combo guard, but one that needs the ball in his hands a lot. That might not work with a team on the cusp, like the Raptors or Celtics or other teams. Dallas could make a play for him, they're lacking in the PG department. Westbrook is immensely talented, but his playing style isn't going to work on every team.
