Knicks aren't gonna get anyone worthwhile. Remember when Knicks fans thought they could actually get somebody like Marc Gasol this year and start their rebuild back into relevance? LOL

The Bucks are going to sign Greg Monroe.

Batman Arkham Knight is a ton of fun. I got bored by the last two Batman games, but this one just has so much more variety.

QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Jul 1, 2015 -> 03:17 PM) That Thompson deal is silly to me. He's not close to a max caliber player and can't really play more than about 25 minutes for them. Why not just wait for an offer sheet and match it? I doubt anyone else offers more than 4-50. I know the cap is going up, but they can't afford to throw away any bit of flexibility. On the plus side, they're over the cap anyways, which means 90% of the damage is to Gilbert's wallet. He seems like kinda a dick anyways, so whatever. Pretty sure Thompson also has the same agent as LeBron, so it will keep him happy. Thompson should get $10 million a year at most. But then again Amir Johnson just got $12 million a year from Boston. I think those two are similar players.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 1, 2015 -> 02:50 PM) Cavs just entered cap hell. But they're gonna be soooo good. Though if Derrick takes well to Hoiberg, minutes are managed better and Niko, Snell and McDermott all improve there's no reason the Bulls can't compete. They're the same team they were in the second half of last year... And while that was really good, I still don't think they'd be the best team in the NBA if the Spurs get Aldridge.

Thompson rumored to be getting a 5 year $80 million deal from the Cavs. Cavs are gonna pay their 2 power forwards nearly $40 million next year. That's almost 2/3 of the cap.

Jimmy Butler needs a movie to be made about him someday. He's gone from homeless as a teenager to an NBA All-Star. Now he's getting paid $95 million. Great rags to riches story.

QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ Jul 1, 2015 -> 01:44 PM) DAT MEETING WITH LEBRON I bet LeBron agreed to let him in on some secret handshakes so that he can "fit in".

QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ Jul 1, 2015 -> 01:37 PM) Love and Thompson staying in CLE Brian Windhorst ‏@WindhorstESPN 3m3 minutes ago Kevin Love will accept a five-year, $110 million contract extension with the Cavs according to sources Wow, I'm surprised Love wanted back in for the long haul.

Khris Middleton got an offer for 5 years and $70 million. Khris freakin' Middleton... He was solid last year, but just two years ago, he was a throw-in in the Brandon Knight deal. Crazy.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 1, 2015 -> 10:50 AM) Danny greene back to sa. Tiago Splitter to Atlanta. I imagine that means Aldridge to San Antonio I thought they needed to dump both for Aldridge? If Aldridge goes to SA, they'd be pre-season championship favorites.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jul 1, 2015 -> 10:09 AM) So, are they admitting McBuckets was a mistake? Not sure why they'd bring Dunleavy back if McDermott is the future at the 3. Dunleavy is in his mid 30s. I'm pretty sure they gave him a 3 year deal just to make sure the Cavs didn't get him. McDermott will get his PT this year. It looks like Hoiberg and the FO are joined at the hip. There's no way GarPax's ego will let them admit a mistake so early.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 1, 2015 -> 09:54 AM) HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH thats funny i dont want Linsanity. He would get backup quarterback treatment to the extreme I want Linsanity.

QUOTE (Ozzie Ball @ Jul 1, 2015 -> 06:24 AM) He had one substitute appearance against Liverpool in which he was unstoppable. That was one of the best games of the seasons that I watched. Overall he was just highly inconsistent and then got hurt. A common theme for South American's in the Premier League. I hear Arsenal's interested in bringing him in to pair with Alexis. That would be a good change for him IMO.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Jul 1, 2015 -> 12:17 AM) Aminu signs with Portland for 4/30. Really Portland have done well to get him, Noah Vonleh and Gerald Henderson for Batum. Cavs and Wizards both after Dunleavy, but Bulls are still the favs to re-sign him. Leonard re-signs with the Spurs for 5/90, not that there was any doubt on that one. Anthony Davis has also verbally agreed to a 5/145 deal according to Woj. Aminu is getting almost $8 million a year? The guy's a bench player who played under 20 minutes a game last year.

USA are 2-0 against the Germans this year.

Anyone see how good Eduardo Vargas was yesterday for Chile? He almost scored a hat trick and hit a screamer from 34 yards out. It's crazy how he's not being used more at Napoli. His loan at QPR was pretty poor last year.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jun 30, 2015 -> 01:14 AM) Yeah, I might give The Brink a try. Going to wait on Ballers. It just looks dumb. I had an hour and watched two episodes yesterday. It's actually not bad. I mean it's not award winning or anything, but it's a fun show. Lots of nice cars, nice houses, and hot women. HBO's got a nice 2 hour block of good shows right now.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 30, 2015 -> 10:35 AM) Lil confused because team offered him both a 1 year qualifying and a full max offer. No player has every taken the one year qualifying over a full max offer. Maybe Butler is the first, we shall see. Yes, Ben Gordon and Greg Monroe turned down big deals to sign the qualifying offer, but they didn't turn down max deals. It is a different situation though, with the cap going up so much next year. Butler will actually make more money if he gambles on himself and take the QO and then get the full max next year. But it's a gamble. I'd rather take the $90 million today and run with it.

Decided to watch True Detective this past weekend, finished season 1 and caught up with season 2. First season was really good, but the pacing of the show feels slow. It takes a while to actually get into it.

Or he's using LA as leverage so he can get a shorter extension from the Bulls. It'd be 3 years as opposed to 5.

Argentina v. Colombia did not disappoint. One of the most physical and intense games I've ever seen.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 26, 2015 -> 09:00 AM) +46 Runs 0-6 Extra Inning record 6-18 One Run games 16-8 Blowouts 34-41 overall That has all the making of a team either underachieving or just straight unlucky Their Pythag W-L is 42-33. It's crazy how bad they are in one run games.

lol s***. Wright's off the board too.

If Jones goes to Dallas, next PG on most boards is Delon Wright, a 6'5 combo guard.
