Doubt anyone here gives a **** about the NBA, but it's worth asking. Anyone watch the '14 Draft or following the free agency this summer? A lot of names going up there, most notably LeBron. Since the Heat traded up and snagged Napier, there's a big chance he's going to return to Miami with Allen, since Allen is saying he wants to play wherever James ends up. Carmelo's also been interested in playing with him, but the Heat's salary cap doesn't allow for it. His options are still open though, would be interesting to see where he takes his talent.

As for the draft, I really wished Joel Embiid would have been healthy enough to be considered a reliable pick. I'm a Cavs fan (one of a kind) and Embiid would have strengthened that inside for such a strong defensive and offensive core with Kyrie and Waiters. They got a strong 3 forward in Wiggins though, so those three could prove to make a strong small offensive core too if Varejao shows improvement. There was a strong possibility of James and Carmelo signing with the Cavaliers through some intensive trading with Boston, but they chose Wiggins over Parker so it's unlikely.

Looking forward to the '14-'15 season, a lot of new talent introduced into the league.
