probably trusts in god too much too

lin is a quality backup pg, cory joseph in toronto might be instructive about where his market value is

hornets gonna be a totally different team next year. i think the only FA they have that they really want back is Batum.

wonder what kind of offers Marvin Williams and Big Al will get. marvin played really well in his contract year he's gonna regress back to himself for sure

lakers have no real bigs rn, i could see them shelling out for al jeff

feel like a 2nd tier contender cld take an interest in williams thinking the hornets found something w him at the 4, everyone wants the flexibility of that type of player

yeah def if he played like he did this year then he could help for sure

but look at that spike from the 3 point line this year

to be clear i do not personally believe in marvin williams

ok lol

Fuck Marvin Williams

was waiting for that, took you a while

marvin wilted in the playoffs this year

shot 28/35/50

really hope larry doesnt sign him

solomon hill might get a decent offer somewhere - he had an opposite performance via sucking in the regular season then shooting 45/58/94 in the playoffs (only 8ppg tbf)

iirc pacers fucked his contract up by not exercising an option and now he enters fa and the pacers can only offer him what they were paying him before which wasn't much

yeah that was likely a mistake, 2.3 mil is peanuts for a 25 year old flexible wing/stretch 4

on the other hand, solo had volunteered to play in the 2015 summer league but came in out of shape and totally sucked (like anthony bennett awful). apparently his attitude was bad and vogel gave him DNPs in nine of the ten first games of the season, leading to larry declining solo's option on november 2. he staged a bit of a comeback, played in 59 games and put up 10ppg on 45/32/86 shooting.

Russ out of the Olympics :/

hes so cool looking

he should be on GoT

yung wolves willing to trade the no. 5 (and I guess some other stuff) for jimmy butler

Are the Bulls wanting to hit the reset button?

they should if they don't want to be in the middle for like 6 more years. but they're only "listening to offers" thus far. if they do rebuild, they should consider doubling down & trying to get something decent (or even just take someone's expirings) for rose at the deadline from a team in need of a rental who's willing to get a little crazy (can we say mavs?).

it's a modified version of the trade I'd much rather have for the celtics than lil kev and his chocolate milk but if the wolves pull it off that's dope too, can't hate on them

wolves shd absolutely do that trade for butler, thatd be a steal imo

celtics can top that

getting butler wld be sick

butler and isiah and kd is overkill imo

ya maybe

celtics trading the no. 3, avery bradley, one of the young dudes (rozier, young) and a few seconds for butler would be a win win for all involved, especially bc bulls should draft a new guard and move on from rose

what would anyone even do w/ rose

oh I mean they'll let him ride out his contract I'm sure, although dumping him as a rental in February wouldn't be impossible imo. next offseason he's all kinds of gone

i guess i mean more, like, i don't really get what his place in the league is going to be., and how does that stack up with his self-perception

ah. yeah I got no idea, he's got to have poisoned the well in terms of his media and general fan perception for many teams/markets. but I could totally see him on the Knicks in a year by FA or even sooner by trade, bc I can see dolan/phil falling for the illusion of his marquee value

or some other hapless market (please not the kings those fans have suffered enough)

in not news david west has opted out and will probs retire

Report: Bulls won't trade Jimmy Butler to Wolves unless they get Andrew Wiggins

interesting

yeah that is. they are four years apart in age. but wiggins on that rookie contract and will need to get that new big $$ at the end of that where Jimmy's contract will look really great if he continues to play at the pace he has been.

what else would have to be included? a pick?

wiggins has a higher ceiling but theres no guarantee hell pan out, jimmys already a very good two way player, obvs theres no way the wolves do it but its interesting to think abt

the attached article doesnt have any further details xp http://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/report-bulls-wont-trade-jimmy-butler-to-wolves-unless-they-get-andrew-wiggins/

thibs just wants his old crew back, trade wigg for jimmy, sign noah and start him over kat, rubio for d rose straight up

lol thats our thibs [shrug]

hahaha butler must be like noooooo
