But what teams does he want to go to?  Since everybody spend money on FA except for a few.

If Riley doing a mini-fire sale, how much for Justice?

Does Mavs have cap still? They stay desperate.

Justice would be who they keep if they rebuild.

Dragic would probably be the 1st to be moved.

[RWF]

Could Mavs go back on their trade (since nothing has been official yet) for Bogut to sign Whiteside?

 

That would then cause GS not to be able to afford Durant.

Hey, man can dream right?

But what about trying for Westbrook?

That would be f***ing great!

[RWF]

Cuban to pull a Jordan himself, pull out of the Bogut trade, max offer to Whiteside. (keep Barnes though, screw GS).

GS stuck with Bogut.

Durant, free agent.

Please happen.

I think I'd rather get Josh Richardson.  We need a SG.  Justice and Josh are probably off the table though.

Guess which player just thanked his former hometown fans after spending many years there?

Hint: It wasn't this guy -

The guy I'm talking about used to play in Miami.

Jimmy Butler even closer to being traded on a sweet deal and we got nothing to negotiate with.  F&@k.

Actually we do, if you think about a little bit.

I don't like thinking, but the Bulls are PF rich and I want Sap here.  Explain.

Never in a million years did I think that Wade would leave Miami. Wowowowowowow.

[IheartVolt]

Lmao.. Sir Charles said Durant is cheating his way to a ring.. Man I luv Barkley and his straight forward mouth..

Can't afford both of them under the cap. Not without shipping out Splitter, which isn't smart unless we have another backup C lined up, and we wont get one as good as Splitter for the $8.5M he is owed this year.

Split-hipper is worth every penny of $8.5 million the way salaries have skyrocketed.

Butler going to SF. They just traded their starting SF to CLE. Butler has been a starting SF before. Rondo AND Butler were the ones who recruited Wade.

And he's right.

Warriors have shown they can win without Durant, West, or any other future ring chaser. But now, Durant will try to put his face on any future championship they win, like he was the reason.

He's as much of a ring chaser as Ray Allen coming out of retirement.

And the funny thing is, if he stayed, Horford would have come over. Westbrook/Oladipo/Durant/Horford/Adams would have had a great chance.

Durant's legacy is = to buying a ring off eBay.

That's crazy.  I know he played the 3 when all he was asked to do was defend but now he's a pure 2, arguably the best going.  GarPax makes more questionable moves than BudCox.

This is a very interesting Free Agency. 

Some big FAs signings I really didn't expect:

• Horford to Boston (4xAllStar, franchise player)
• Howard to Hawks (8xAll Star, 3 DPOY)
• Durant to Warriors (MVP, 7xAll Star, 4x scoring champ and franchise player)
• Wade to Miami (12xAllStar, Finals MVP & franchise player)

And the funny thing is, the one who not really belongs in this group ist the one who left his team because he was upset he didn't got a max offer...
Somehow I'm really glad Al is gone (although I liked him,,,)

No.. they can't do that according to the rules.  However, it's funny.  A player can change his mind but a team cannot.

That team makes very little sense.  Coach get fired by the deadline is my guess.   Gar Foreman has landed his Ocre and the city of Chicago is celebrating him, but its going to be hard for a coach to match the skill of Rondo with the playing style of Wade and Butler.  3 guys who do better with the ball in their hands. 

IF.. they can come together, Chicago will have enough pieces to put together a worthy run.
