Seemed pretty obvious from the start, as it was the owners who initiated the lockout in the first place.

If they can acquire Barnes w/o giving up PWill, great. I'd like to think PWill has more trade value than that even though I am totally not a believer that he'll be anything special. If Barnes can play anything like his GSW days he would help the Bulls in a number of critically needed areas.

With Lonzo out for a while and Coby balling out, I agree that he likely is no longer a trade chip. His offense can really come into play off the bench in the stretch run. As for trade assets, IMO PWill is/should be top of the list if the FO wants to make a big move for a 4. His value should still be fairly high and his developmental timeline just doesn't match up with this squad anymore after a lost year. Don't know if AKME is sentimental about their own lotto picks, but PWill is their best trade piece and they shouldn't be off limits if they are looking to everything they can to build the best possible roster.

I liked what I saw of Hill vs Boston. Just wondering what Jordan Bell did or didn't do to not get a longer look, considering their desperate need for size. Hope the over fondness for 6'6 guys masquerading as PF doesn't haunt them down the stretch.

Needed to get a better shot at the end.

I really hope this means the Sox didn’t have $650K left.

Another non-contact knee injury. At least Zach walked off under his own power.

Making official what we've already known for how long?😂

Uh huh, sure sure. Owners best get their asses in gear then.

I am 100% on board with an ownership profit cap. I firmly believe owners should be limited to a percentage of yearly profits once their initial franchise purchase outlay has been recouped. The rest spent on the livelihoods of those that make the game run every day.

Those are the figures I have in my head too. I'm open to a soft cap with heavy luxury taxes similar to the way the NBA does it as well. I don't see how any real financial parity and or competitive balance happens without both a cap and floor.

I want to keep DJJ around, but he likely won't be here next year, and that salary will probably be needed in trade. The sooner Coach Donovan weens himself from his over reliance on Javonte the better IMO.
