    Bulls continue to show they have no idea what they're doing or how to manage assets and when to pull the trigger

    To avoid disappointment I’m going to operate under the assumption that we won’t be able to find a MLE target that Lebron is willing to accept a paycut for, there won’t be any signings today, and we’ll have to wait several days to find a trade to see if we can improve the roster

    If that’s how it plays out, Denver losing KCP and trading for Westbrook would take the sting out of things

    How is Dallas linked to all these free agents? Are they printing money over there?

    This would be the anti Westbrook trade. Undervalued star who is a real good fit with the Lakers where the Lakers could realistic gain assets for and not lose

    Forget the jokes and sneers and this would really workout in the Lakers favor here. Get a Drop from Chicago and you get the salary assets to make a big move mid season or next off season as ell

    Yup.



    Maybe the Florida tax break was an incentive but he just left a championship contender offering similar money to a team who on the way up but not there yet. Maybe having a GM essentially wave goodbye during a presser isn't the best way to make you feel all warm and fuzzy.

    I’m going to refrain from commenting on the Clippers signing KPJ just in case the Lakers pivot to Miles Bridges as the MLE target

    One year extra is more important than winning in the new s*** Bowl?

    Philly doing great if they land PG, Drummond, and Gordon. Makes the East more competitive.

    Wow. Thought we had the lead. Stein had been mentioning SA as a strong option for awhile. That'll be good for Wemby.


    A 2-pager on how we f***ed up... but it's not our fault

    Or maybe he has finally realized the Flippers are never winning anything as currently constructed?
    We dodged a Mt. Olympus sized bullet with Robotic Cornrows choosing the Flippers over us! Thank you, oh creepy, stoic one!
