Re: Jabari Parker to Bulls 2 yr/$40 million

I don't see how you can criticize this move given year 2 is an option which preserves our $40 million in cap space for 2019. Either that $20 million was going to be paid to Melo as a buyout, distributed amongst the roster if no one was signed, or pay Jabari for 1 year. Jabari was the best option eas...

Re: Kings "pretty serious" about their interest in Zack Lavine

Kings only have $18 million in cap room so the max they can offer is $78 million over 4 years which puts the Bulls on the fence about matching IMO. In regards to the Butler trade, I think the Bulls are in better position because of it with the ability to grab Lauri. We still don't have a true supers...

Re: So this Cousins to the Warriors thing...

Cousins won't play as large of a role as many think. However the scary thought is that the Warriors had a center who couldn't shoot outside 2 feet from the basket and if the position could score 10 points it was a huge win. In April - June Cousins could easily pass that expectation if he's even 1/2 ...

Re: Spurs just lost any leverage they think they might’ve had

I think the Lakers still have to trade for him if Kawhi wants the max. Who would the Lakers offer at this point? Ball and a first rounder. Magic likes Kuzma and Imgram so they seem to be out. SA doesn't have to trade him if they don't want scrubs or a late First Rounder

Re: LeBron opts out of contract to officially become a free agent.

LeBron had to opt out even if he wants to stay in Cleveland because if he opted in then he would be in-eligible to sign a 5 year max due to the 38 & over rule. http://www.businessinsider.com/nba-cba-changed-over-36-rule-lebron-james-200-million-contract-2016-12" onclick="window.open(th...

Re: Breaking: Kawhi asks to be traded

I don't think Kawhi will get traded to LA similar to PG. San Antonio will find a better trade package. LA better keep cap room open for next year. kawhi is basically a one year rental now that he's made it known he prefers LAbron. the best package will be ball or kuz/deng/ingram/1st rd pk. I don't ...

Re: Bold-ish NBA Draft predictions.

A team trades up for Doncic. Definitely could happen given his falling draft stock amongst the bad franchises picking so high, which usually implies bad management too. If he's available at 4, and we trade our pick to dump salary and don't take him, it might be a new low point for me as a Grizz fan...

Re: Bold-ish NBA Draft predictions.

Bulls are taking Trae Young at 7. Do you want him? I think he has a chance to be the best player in this draft, so yep I'd be happy. Small guards have a tough time in this league. As the league is trending towards athletic wings who can guard multiple positions, I have serious reserves against a 6'...

Re: So LeBron will make his decision on July 1st?

July 1 is when he can officially start talking to teams. Its doubtful he would make his decision on the 1st day. Probably by the 5th He's going to draw it out for as long as possible. More attention = more business, better branding. Yup, I can definitely see this. I believe he announced he was head...
