Noah agrees to extension, 5 years/60M.

Told y'all it'd get done.

 

It's an expensive deal for him and probably more than he's worth under this salary cap...but the Bulls aren't playing for cap space any more. If he hit the FA market under this agreement, he'd make considerably more than that.

Were you genuinely expecting Boozer to play >70 games a season on average?

No, not at all. Starting out with best-case scenario of 67 games played means he'll probably play less than 50.

 

It just seemed like Jeremy was saying 15 games as if it were no biggie.

It's not as much of a "biggie" as if it would have happened on opening night and he'd have been out for 30+.

OTOH...then he'd have had the chance to practice with the team for a month. Gibson and Noah could have benefited hugely from that. Johnson and Asik possibly as well.

Just when you thought ESPN couldn't get any more ridiculous...

 

ESPN's Eastern bias taking talents to South Beach

 

Already weary of "Miami Thrice" and ESPN's incessant spotlight on LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and the highly touted Heat?

 

Brace yourself.

 

ESPN.com is set for an Oct. 11 launch of "The Heat Index," a special section on the site devoted to daily, season-long coverage of the Heat and their trio of superstars. To that end, they have hired longtime Miami Herald beat writer Michael Wallace and Brian Windhorst, who has covered James since middle school for the Cleveland Plain Dealer and written two books on the two-time NBA MVP.

 

Site features will include "Chase for 72," an automated, daily forecast of how many games the Heat will win, including a projection of the odds of the Heat matching the 1995-96 Bulls' record of 72 wins; "Tracking the Big 3," an automated tracking of how James, Wade and Bosh stack up against the best trios in NBA history; and "The Scene," covering the culture, scene and lifestyle angles tied to South Beach as it relates to the Heat.

 

All well and good, if you're a Miami fan. For everyone else, perhaps "The Hate Index" would be more appropriate.

what if the heat struggles with chemistry and rhythm right out of the game, or if wade goes down. If they lose 10 of the first 25-30 games or so, ESPN would have to shamefully take that section down. what a shame on those bastards.

Plenty of people believed the same kind of stuff when Boston brought in Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett. I hate that team, but there is no one who can touch them barring something insane. They will win the NBA title this year.

Not quite that sure yet. As it stands right now, I feel the Lakers will tear them apart in the paint.
