Curry averaged 34 minutes during the regular season, I believe.

I'm not sure Wade would be a huge upgrade. JR fits in because he's a catch and shoot guy, which helps when Kyrie and LeBron are dominating the ball and driving and kicking. Wade basically does the same thing, but can't shoot the 3 anymore. If you start Wade but don't bring back JR, there's basically one 3 point shooter in Kyrie, and if Love is hitting his outside shot.

^I don't understand why CBC has stayed away from the Cbus Ale Trail. Virtually every other brewery in the area is part of it.

Next CBA. The NBAPA agreed to this, and they get GUARANTEED contracts. So once it's signed...it's done. No re-upping.

The Finals next year will be fascinating. GS will be chucking 3's and basically not play a center/rim protector. The Cavs will need to up their D and will want to drive it down the Warriors' throats.

Wade turns 35 next season. Hell no.

LOL that move is worse than LeBron joining the Big 3 in Miami.

These deals are going to be crazy with the huge jump in cap.

Cities that currently have 3+ teams with a complete title drought I believe it's now: 1. Minnesota/Minneapolis 2. Washington DC Drought since when?? Minnesota Twins won in 1987 and 1991 and Washington Redskins won Super Bowls in 1982, 1987 and 1991. http://www.scout.com/story/1680158-5-cities-with-longest-championship-droughts

It's going to be hilarious when Weber retires with a year left on his deal and Nashville gets hit with a $24m cap hit.

1) I can only think they did the buyout as a service to him. They said they tried to trade him (so they probably went to every team and asked if they wanted him for a 7th rounder or "future considerations"). All teams apparently said no, not for $1.7m. They probably told him there's two options - you'll spend the year in Cleveland or we can buy you out. Given they only gained $183k by buying him out, I'm guessing he elected the buy out option instead of the AHL route. Doubt this ever gets confirmed, but that's the only way it makes sense. 2) The contract limit is a bit misleading. If a player is under 20 and returns to his junior team (e.g. Keegan Kolesar) he won't count against the 50 contract limit. Even if those pending RFAs come back, the Jackets will be in the low 40's against the limit anyway. Heck, they offered hometown guy Trent Vogelhuber a contract. Vogelhuber has exclusively played on AHL deals with the CBJ farm team.

Jared Boll has his final year bought out.

^References a Cleveland sports drought (which, btw, spanned more sports seasons than the Cubs drought), but for the Cubs...no mention of Bears, Bulls, Blackhawks? Wtf?

Yeah, the requirements are pretty crazy, though if you reach "hot" status or whatever it's called for each month, you'll get catering for 20 after the program is done. Is 36 burritos worth it??

What a day for CBJ. Re-sign Jones to a reasonable deal. Buy out Tyutin. Looks like PLD signed his entry-level contract as well. Rumors swirling around Avalanche and Atkinson/Johnson as well as Hartnell. I'm not sure the team is done just yet, but we'll see.

Tribe now have the best run differential in the AL and 2nd best in all of baseball. Starting pitching has combined for a 2.65 ERA in June.

^Super excited about the Brassica expansion.

^Not too shocking. Until there is rail in Columbus, CU will always bring up the fact whenever possible.

^Ah. Heard co-workers mentioning it and one said something about the exit, possibly adding another one like Polaris/Gemini.

About as disappointing as you'd expect if you're a CBJ fan. 1)PLD over Pull Your RV. Dubois will be a fine NHL player most likely, but he's played a year at center. He was not touted by ANYONE as the 3rd best prospect in this draft, and he's not one of the three players many believe can have an impact THIS season. Dubois may very well end up back in major junior next season and not with Columbus. This felt more like drafting for need (center) than the best player available (Pull Your RV). 2) WTF was that 2nd round pick? Another slow, lumbering Dman ranked #76 be Central Scouting at #34?? This kid, if I'm not mistaken, has a year left in the USHL and could be in college for 3-4 years. 3) The lack of trading Hartnell, Tyutin, or any other big contract. This was the setting to do it. Hartnell for a 4th and 5th rounder? A 4th and a prospect? Tyutin for a 6th? Nothing. This team has way too much dead weight locked up in horrendous contracts. See: cap issues and contract limit in addition to roster spots. 4) The Rychel trade. This was a Jarmo FIRST round pick in 2013. His attitude, by some reports, had soured as he and his dad believed he should be higher on the depth chart. Requested a trade out. Still...you don't HAVE to trade him. To get a bad prospect OR 5th rounder? That is an awful trade.

Dublin is going to have some *density* - just drove through some of this the other day - Wow!

Does this complex not have an exit off 71?

^^-A good 50% of the block of High Street between Gay and Long (partial on the East, nearly all of the West) -Maybe I'm wrong, but the corner of High and Lynn (west side) -Some flat lot(s) nestled in at the corner of Spring and High (near Elevator) -Eastern side of High Street just north of Long - actually, almost the whole block around the condemned Long Street garage I believe
