Ray Allen to the Heat at the price makes the NBA kinda laughable. If this is the way of the NBA the next many seasons, count me out. Why not just have every good player go to Miami and play for the league minimum?

 

Pat Riley and his beaches are making a mockery of the sport I love.

 

Thank God for the White Sox and the Bears and the Blackhawks.

 

Really? Hes about to be 37 and is on his last legs. Wasn't the money difference like 3 million? This is better than people chasing the money, at least they are chasing titles.

If he's on his last legs, the offensive numbers certainly don't show it. He's just about as efficient and as good a 3pt threat as he's ever been...

Ray Allen can still ball. He was hurt last year, especially in the playoffs. If he's relatively healthy, it's a wrap. I can't come up with any scenario outside of multiple injuries in which the Heat don't at least get back to the finals next year.

Hinrich verbally agrees to sign with Bulls.

THE OFFSEASON IS A SUCCESS!!!!!

Dribble, dribble, dribble....

Bulls now well poised to beat defending champion heat...of 2005

<---my reaction to this news

 

At least this means C.J. Watsuck is gone now. Yay for that

If he could get back the form/health he had 2 years ago then that's a real cheap salary for his performance level.

Want a laugh? Compare Hinrichs playoff stats to C.J. Watsons.

 

That'll make you feel better about this

CJ Watsuck? Goodness that is awful.

Hinrich verbally agrees to sign with Bulls.

Without Rose Bulls are in trouble regardless.

I don't like him, he's so meek. And he performs terribly in the playoffs.

 

Hinrich is a much better PG

Bulls apparently using taxpayer MLE on Hinrich, via @KCJHoop report, which is sign they likely keep Korver and may even match Asik.

The deadline for the Chicago Bulls to waive C.J. Watson is July 10. They're attempting to trade him before that date, according to sources.

Glad to see Hinrich back with the Bulls. Looked out of place in Atlanta.

No way!

Ryan Anderson to the Hornets

Poor DBAHO. Seemed like Magic fans thought they'd get a lot for Anderson.

I feel like Hinrich will look actually decent under Thibs.

 

Also, if they pay Korver and match Asik...

 

PG - Hinrich/Teague

SG - Hamilton/Korver

SF - Deng/Butler

PF - Boozer/Gibson

C - Noah/Asik

 

...they're going for it when Rose returns.

 

They are really banking on Rose have an amazing recovery.

Dribble, dribble, dribble....

 

Ugh unfortunately... One of the most frustrating guards I had to watch during that Bulls era, but he does stretch the floor.

It's a nice move as long as Kirk is healthy. In a worse or poor case scenario, he'd probably have trade value at this salary after the season if he shows he's still capable of playing.

 

He also provides depth at the 2 if you want a strong defender on a 2 guard that isn't too big (Wade?)

Poor DBAHO. Seemed like Magic fans thought they'd get a lot for Anderson.

Ayon's actually an ok center.

 

As for the Hornets, that roster is starting to take some shape.

Fixed.

 

Anywho, not thrilled with Hinrich, but it's better than nothing. In a way, he's similar to Watson, but better defensively. Not as electric on offense, but as long as he can stay healthy, he's a welcomed addition at a low cost. He'll hit the open 3's, play great defense, and be a good leader. And with how well the Bulls move the ball anyway, he doesn't have to be a "true" point guard. And you have to think that between Rose and Hinrich, Marquis Teague has two damn good mentors.
