Well Paul doesn't take many shots. He's always been a pass first kinda guy.

After dribbling the hell out of the ball for most if the shot clock.

ESPN’s Zach Lowe poured gasoline all over the fire, saying the Wolves were “up to something” on his most recent podcast with Bobby Marks and Jonathan Givony. Lowe said they’ve have let the league know they have path to landing Russell as the franchise point guard of the future they desperately want. The social media recruiting by Towns isn’t simply some harmless fun with a close friend, either. “There has been a lot of Minnesota (signing) D’Angelo Russell noise,” said Lowe.

How? They have no cap space. Again, this is another sign-and-trade scenario. Maybe if the Nets are stupid enough, they'll take on Wiggins' terrible contract.

Was watching this video and Bulls made an appearance @ 2:30. Seriously what were they thinking with that team? ? That had to be the most telegraphed pass in history and look how soft Pau looks trying to run after Noel.

In recent rumor news, Celtics appear to be gunning hard for Kemba and Kawhi is going to give the Lakers a meeting (in addition to the Clippers and Toronto). Celtics also appear to be interested in trading for Capela.

In todays NBA, 31.6 million dollars is not enough to be paid to rehab an injury. Oh, BTW, Durant just sold his 12.6 million dollar Malibu mansion.

If he makes Kobe's timeline 270 days, he would be starting the playoffs and trying to win 16 games making 2 million dollars a game.

Celtics are pretty much convinced Kyrie is leaving, already chasing Kemba. I really thought they were fine before Kyrie at guard, now they will add another.

I just do not get it. Lakers cleared 32 million in cap space, why should they be able to sign someone for 40 million?

No idea but Russell and Butler appear to be the primary targets.

Butler is looking to get wanted and then paid. No way he leaves Philly and they would be nuts to do a sign and trade with Houston for him. One year in town is not enough to do the guy a solid.

Latest I heard, is Kyrie is a net, Butler stays for 5, Kawhi stays in toronto, but only signs a 2 year deal so he can get that 10 year money, whats that gonna be 50 million? Just having the staff that allowed him to set his game schedule is enough to stay there.

If there is a lockout, and all this max, super max, (whats next Mega max, supermega max, utopia)

Why are you giving a serious response to something that was clearly a joke?

Can we start a list of free agent players that won't even consider coming to Chicago?

When you say "we"..... do you know of a free agent who is willing to make said list?

Don't you think Lebron has Beverly locked up? When so many fans see you as a bad guy, the best thing to do is get a worse guy on your side.
