Bulls are supposedly interested in Dwyane Wade

 

The Chicago Bulls, Dallas Mavericks, Denver Nuggets and Milwaukee Bucks have started a courtship process that has included offers in length of two and three years and upward of $20 million a season – a salary the Heat so far have been reluctant to offer, league sources said.

He will 100 percent not come to the Bulls. Does not want to play here at all.

Conley stays with Grizz 5/153M

 

Alrighty then

 

Not bad for a guy that's never made an all-star team.

Wade is the vagina the Bulls can never land.

Wade does nothing for the bulls long-term.

Oh I know I was just saying.

Tells them same thing every time he comes up, too much "responsibility" to actually live here. Can't imagine now bing any different.

I agree. He plays them like a fiddle every time. Maybe if the Heat stay at $10 mil per year but this is all about leverage to up Miami IMO

Deng gets $70 mil from the Lakers

Man, the Heat are going to look quite different next season. Wade or no wade

NBA is going to have a lockout, I can't see the league being able to support these type of contract. Conley is signing a 5yr $153M deal. $30.6M/yr for Mike Conley (who I liked and who I wanted the Bulls to get). But Mike freaking Conley making $30M/yr. That is insane.

I think this is much more indicative of a huge surge in revenue than anything else. If revenue is going up then that means everyone is getting rich, including the owners. The need for a lockout would come if the share of revenue the players are getting is also going up substantially, if they're still getting 55% or whatever the NBA number is, then 45% of a growing pile for the owners still keeps everyone happy.

That is still just mind boggling hours later. Mike f***ing Conley gets 153 mil.

Wow. Ok, it has sucked to be a Bulls fan, but can you imagine being a Lakers fan right now? What a disaster of an off season.

Agreed. I've been talking to friends and saying it sucks right now but it's better than spending and overpaying for role players and washed up vets.

These contracts are just god awful

Of course it doesn't. If he came on a one year deal, though it couldn't hurt.

Ain't happening much less a one year deal.

The Bulls do have to spend about $17 million to reach the salary floor. I think they'd like Rondo on a 1-2 year deal but he obviously wants more years. Bulls will be adding players. No idea who and I'd be willing to bet it's on the short term side.

I'd be totally willing to be bad this season if it meant not taking any mega-bad contracts. So far, we have escaped any stupidity.

Jazz splashing into free agency like a boss!!!! Joe Johnson 2 years/$22 million. Woo!

 

haha

Ryan Anderson is getting 4/80. I can't.

Horford to Boston and Durant had long meeting with Celtics where Tom Brady was involved. I hope KD lands there. East needs beefing up.

I just read on espn that the Celtics can swap first round picks with the Nets next year. Unbelievable.
