Wade is not restructuring anything. He didn't leave Miami over money just to come here and take a cut again for the good of the team. This was his big payday, he isn't giving any of it away. The Wade family is not running a charity for other NBA players.

Not saying he will, but it is something worth exploring to allow wiggle room for a max player if he truly wants another ring. Another option will be to trade Lopez.

Do we really want Wade on the team for another 3 years (or whatever the new contract would be)?

It will be better for Grandpa Wade to leave altogether, but I doubt he turns down that money. Only a detonation (trading Butler) may cause him to leave.

Wow, literally no one has shown up but Giannis for the Bucks.

27 for Giannis, 26 for everyone else, 3 quarter time. (nearly)

when a team goes on a run like this you need your stars to get to the foul line and slow the momentum.

Hit your FT's Bucks!

The Raptors are about to choke a 25pt lead.

Finish them!

somehow I thought they would catch themselves after that timeout when the Bucks took the lead.

Vince Carter with a massive throwback dunk then swishes a 3 a possession later. Is he permanently 29? I've been saying I stopped counting there for years, but my body has stubbornly become older.

that was pretty rough Tony .. for an otherwise impressive and meaningful playoff stint

I'll still take Tony over MCW.

Bulls03 · Post #694 » by **Bulls03** » Fri Apr 28, 2017 1:56 am

Wade
Snell
Butler
Niko
Lopez

That would've been a nice lineup to have after the Rondo injury.

The bucks make some noise in the first round ala 2015, lets see if they can actually build on it now. As i said, Raptors were always the better team. For some reason they still have confidence issues.

Bucks down 20+ fight all the way back to take a 2 point lead then lose the game on their home court, sounds familiar.

I know I have a biased favorite player in Jimmy Butler... but I took those "Bulls Glasses" off, Kawhi Leonard is my favorite player in the entire NBA.

I think he is the best player since last season. His clutch offense is so incredible now.
