Forces trade to Chicago...immediately goes on that 2 year mission that Mormons go on. That would be that Chicago luck right there

That or he wins rookie of the year and shows that superstar prospect, sees he is playing in a dumpster fire then goes on mission while forcing a trade to Chicago then gets a leg taken by a shark while swimming in the ocean while on that mission in Samoa or some country like that.

Stephen A. Smith thinks Kevin Durant could end up with the Wizards [in 2016]


Here’s what Stephen A. Smith said last July — as in, July of 2013 — about what would happen with LeBron James.
“Right now, Miami and Cleveland are LeBron James’s top two options,” Smith said on The Michael Kay Show. “He is not averse to going back home.”

Also Stephen A said Bron and Bosh would go to Miami in 2010 and they did..

In any sense...


The "going home" thing seems to be a theme with stars in the NBA. So does that means Anthony Davis and Jabari Parker are in our future?

That would insinuate that a star is coming to Chicago. No chance.

Josh Smith might be going to the Kings. Also, Rondo is being floated, but Rondo has been floated to like 10 teams now and with the Kings for a season.

Smoove and Cousins.

LMAO. They just need JR Smith, and that would be a fun team to watch(also, to see the number of coaches that quit).

Bledsoe turned down a 4-year 48 million dollar deal from the suns. He wants 5-years, 80 million.

Two years from now, when James becomes an unrestricted free agent again, he’ll be able to reap the financial rewards of signing after the NBA’s new television deals are cut. If the money paid by ESPN, Turner Sports and Fox Sports (yes, they NBA could have three TV partners instead of the current two, following the trail blazed by the NFL) is double what is being paid under the current deal, the salary cap will rise accordingly. If, for argument’s sake, if the salary cap rises to $100 million, James would be eligible for a new contract with a maximum salary of 35 percent of the cap. With 7.5 percent annual raises, James would be eligible for a new five-year contract with salaries of $35 million in Year 1, then $37,626,000, $40,250,000, $42,875,000, $47,550,000. SheridanHoops -

I'm going to laugh when these TV contracts cause cable to become so expensive no one can afford cable anymore.

Now you're talking. Rondo and Rose in the same back-court would be awesome:)
