Huh. Given their lack of size, seems like a dumb move. He was a good insurance piece.

Chet is due back today and Theis might not be better than their 2 way, 4th option center Branden Carlson.

They acquired Theis.

I think it's hilarious that OKC as the best team in the WC is absorbing contracts in exchange for picks, and the Bulls aren't.

AD down again, non-contact groin injury. Day to Day Davis goes down in his Dallas debut. Tell me again Nico what you envisioned?
KC: Do you still think you're a championship-caliber team?
Gar: I never said that and correct me if I'm wrong.
KC: You were asked that question at the news conference announcing Thibodeau's dismissal and you answered yes

It does explain things really well. But it still doesn't tackle to why its killing the game. What they did over the years is buff the offense and nerf the defense.

The Illegal defense, the hand checking etc, has made it that the offense has full autonomy.

I think this year, the league is in early stages of panic. They are trying to do everything to re-spark interest. It didnt work for the in-season tourney, and It certainly wont work for the allstar game.

All the networks that just signed up to have the NBA are not happy.

Looks like Mark didn't pass the physical. I guess his medicals are worse than we think.

I wonder what will Lakers do now?! Who is even available on centers market, Theis?

Fred Katz: The Lakers are now left with Jaxson Hayes as their only center. And one piece to note about this: Since they are above the first apron, they cannot sign any buyout players who were previously making more than the midlevel exception -- X tweet

This could be very good for them in the end, Hayes is playing solid lately and they can always use a good shooter like Knecht. Markieff Morris and Koloko are their backup C options. Kleber is out for this season pretty much.

And hey, maybe they are desperate enough to take Vooch in summer lol,even tho Williams probably will be healthy by then and they will make a trade again if possible.

Mark Williams went from the next Hakeem to Greg Oden in a couple of days.

I thought they overpaid for Mark Williams. They'll get someone serviceable in the buyout market and someone better in the summer.

Just heard that Embiid said he thinks he may need another surgery. This dude just needs to lose 50lbs.

The Bulls have lost 11 of their last 15 games and are STILL sitting in the final play-in spot and have the 8th worst record in the NBA.

The East is so bad.
