Didn't realize Moore signed elsewhere for a reasonable deal. Bulls moving every enjoyable piece of their franchise. Financial champions.

I know, they were one E'twaun Moore away from being true champions.

They didn't want to go 4 years and I don't blame them.

I f***ing hate Rondo. Probably my least favorite player in the league. Can the GarPax era please end already?

I hate him too, but the thing is, when his head is on straight, he is pretty good. The Bulls problem is they are a lottery team, but not a top 3 lottery team, so immediate team changing draft help probably won't happen, and if they are relying on max free agents, well that plan hasn't worked this century. So basically they are screwed.

If I didn't hate Rondo (dating back to '09 Celtics-Bulls) I'd be all about this. He can still dish and still has a great defensive mind, just needs to use it more.

 

Rondo-Butler-McDermott-Mirotic-Lopez ain't pretty but it's balanced (much more than last year) if Rondo can keep his f***ing head on straight.

 

Guess they're gonna try and be as appealing as possible next year for a start. They'll still strikeout.

Clippers sign 36-year old Jamal Crawford 3/42. Worst signing of the offseason so far. Just awful.

 

 

Worse than Mozgov?

 

There's an article out there today stating Westbrook is worth $344 million.

 

With the NBA being about on par with revenues and total franchise values, it seems they're really going to shoot themselves in the foot financially with all these mid-tier guys getting huge deals.

 

We talk about Bryce Harper being a $500 million contract, but there's only a handful projecting in that territory.

I hate everyone playing for Chicago teams.

 

 

What about Maddon?

 

Him too?

 

As much as all this media coverage this season is over the top, it's hard to HATE that guy. He's a very good manager. Not God, but the MLB equivalent of Pop or Brad Stevens.

Someone has fallen for the Maddon hype machine. But this isn't the right thread.

I didn't know there was so much hatred for Rondo. People on twitter were like furious over the signing. It doesn't really matter but the Bulls got better at C and PG and this deal doesn't really hurt them next summer. What did people think they were going to do? Should they have given Tyler Johnson $50 million? I mean for christ sakes.

Who thinks the Celtics are actually going to be better than the Cavs in the East?

 

That's really pushing it.

 

 

Anyone heard exactly when Durant will announce? Supposed to be Sunday night/Monday morning....any rumors?

 

Warriors? OKC?

 

 

I'd be stunned if it's not OKC

This was one of the better signings of the offseason. Absolutely love it. Gets us to the floor without long term implications and he is an upgrade at pg over rose last year.
