My vote goes to the Cavs. Vince is a big time scorer, and Chamberlain is a starting quality pg, even though he mak be a little crowded there now with Ward already there.

The Nets got probally the 3rd best player on the shelf, to go with their awesome startinglineup already there. the only reason i dident go with the Nets was the fact they dident get Battier yet but i'm sure he'll be back.(cause he always comes back) and the fact they got 3 very good bench guys is a plus too.

I liked your signings.  But Finley just won't have the impact vince will Wink

Unfortunately I didn't have as much cap room as Cavs (I offered Vince a contract for 6 years with max raises starting at 14.3 million, Cavs 15.3).

Honestly, I gotta go clippers.  They absolutely NEEDED to keep Gordon.  That right there kept them at championship contention, otherwise they'd be struggling to make the playoffs.

Probably between 7-8 pm.

NOTE: this does not mean it won't be run before that and you don't need to get offers in until 7.  I could very well run it right at 5

Just had to specify, since it seems people expect that cushion nowadays.

I have to say Clippers as well...
Gordon returning is huge.

I voted Cavs. Gordon was the best player out there, but it was a no brainer to offer him the max. IDK though, it was a close call.

I'll go Cavs too, although I do like what the Nets have done.

I'd say it is very close between the Clips & Cavs.  But I gave my vote to the Cavs....Clips did what was expected.  If he would have lost Gordon then we could have voted for the biggest loser and he would have won in a landslide.  I have to disqualify the Nets since their bounty was the result of a program glitch.  

(And I fully understand that Bods did not intentionally do this.  In no way is this to be construed as any criticism of the way he has handled the league.)

BTW, other teams have benefited from the glitch in the past.
Including the Bucks, this year.  had slightly over 1.2 million in cap space.  Signed 2 players to 1.2 million $ deals, still haven't used LLE.
