QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 04:33 PM) @PrioritySports: Congrats @NickSwagyPYoung on resigning with the @Lakers! 4 more years of SwagyP in LA! Good bye LA cap space!

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 04:29 PM) They are still over cap right now, I don't see him going to knicks for MLE pre-Melo. I'm guessing OKC. Bulls really screwed the pooch with the Lin to LA developments. BUt we have an in on Hinrich. lmao

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 04:25 PM) What we really don't want is Pau announcing he is going to Knicks. That would suck.

200 pages and the season hasn't even started yet. lol

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 04:00 PM) He can play the 2, honestly he'll be great. But get the titles when you can, cleveland. I'd still take Love all day everyday. Love is a top 10 player. Wiggins may be that one day, in fact, he may be much better. But having both him and LeBron seems redundant.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 03:58 PM) Chris Broussard ‏@Chris_Broussard 12m Source: Cavs have told Wiggins he's not being traded. TWolves want Wiggins. Cavs will try 2 do it w/out losing Wiggins. Must find 3rd team If there's one thing we can count on, it's cleveland caveliers ineptitude. So are they going to play Wiggins along-side LeBron? Can Wiggins play shooting guard?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 03:56 PM) wtf planet am i on Tom loves grindy white guys.

Gasol just tweeted this (in Spanish): Now I am very close to making the decision. Thank you all for your interest and support!

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 03:25 PM) @McGrawDHBulls 15s Carmelo sign and trade, Pau for mid-level, Wade for bi-annual & Kirk for minimum -- get it done Gar/Pax? Gurnee, IL Yeah, no. McGraw, stop smoking, that's not happening. Wade would retire before taking the BAE.

I'd like to think the Bulls have the ability to give Melo a 4 year $90 million deal. Now that's $40 million less overall, but it's not that much less on an annual basis.

Woj has spoken on Wade...

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 03:06 PM) I really can't believe that. Dan Gilbert did let LeBron do anything.

Ken Berger just tweeted... Hey, I heard that Carlos Boozer guy can shoot long jumpers and 3s.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 02:51 PM) The only way the Parsons thing can work is if he agrees to not sign the offer sheet until after Bosh signs. That would constitute a shameful loophole that I find irritating the Mavericks will allow to be exploited That's why Houston is moving fast on Bosh. They have to sign him first.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 02:50 PM) We'd also be a title contender, I think JR would do it. The tax payments we'd have wouldn't be massive either? Not like 20M or anything like that. Since it's not repeater, we should be fine.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 02:49 PM) Top 10 protected until 2018. Aww...

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 02:47 PM) Why wouldn't the Bulls have the MLE next year? Nevermind, we would. But we'd be knee deep in the tax if we give Melo the max, pay Jimmy his market value next year, and use the MLE.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 02:45 PM) I believe its the Lebron sign and trade that gave Cleveland this pick. Oh the irony.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 02:43 PM) I believe the Bulls could be in the position that Houston is right now with Parsons. As a RFA they can go over the cap to match an offer IF that's something they wanna do. This is why keeping Gibson is huge. If we have to trade Gibson and Mirotic doesn't come over or pan out, we'd be without a power forward. When we have to give big money to Jimmy next year, we won't have any space or the MLE to spend on a second big man.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 02:42 PM) Le batard: "Oh my god, they have our first round pick!" Hahaha How did that come about BTW?

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 02:15 PM) Where's LeBetard crying and sweating? GIVE IT TO ME AGAIN... MIAMI, WELCOME TO ANOTHER DECADE OF IRRELEVANCE. RUN THE POINT NIGHT, WHERE A HEAT FAN CAN RUN THE POINT BECAUSE THE HEAT DON'T HAVE ANYONE ELSE! PAT RILEY GOT NONE OF THEM, BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T WANT THEIR CONTRACTS DISCOUNTED!

Oh man, this is priceless: http://deadspin.com/is-this-for-real-cleve...-air-1603647613

Lin deal is done.

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 12:25 PM) Hope Cavs DONT get Love. You should hope they do. It really forces Melo's hand even more.

I actually think the lack of a team full of villains will bring NBA ratings down, but from a competition stand-point, I think this is good for the league.
