Olynyk is another in the string of vile Celtics I cannot absolutely stand but would also fit well on the Bucks guys.

Aldridge being a free pickup for the Heat is going to be annoying.

It has to be a top 5 worst trades in NBA history. Just a horrid haul for Harden.

Short-lived PR points covering up for cap savings.

Jeff Teague traded and waived. I'd much prefer him to Austin Rivers if we just have to pick someone up.

Bad day for Boston.

LMA completing a buyout today with the Spurs. Any chance he comes our way along with a guard?

A writer on a Bulls blog just wrote that while the Bulls might have overpaid for Vucevic, that is the going rate and that Vucevic is a similar level star to Jrue Holiday. Hmmm...

Not what I expected to for potential buyouts but still some guys that could really help. Teague, Bradley, Olynyk, J.Johnson & Rivers presumably. I'd take any of those guys.

Can't stand Olynyk - glad to see he's relegated to the basketball abyss. He also gave the Lopez lineups a lot of trouble

At the end of trading season, it feels like the Bucks came out ok. I feel like Tucker is more impactful than George Hill for the Sixers and Griffin for the Nets who already stink defensively and have no trouble scoring (I know he was an early buyout). Now the last minute touches come via true buyout season. Got to match or beat what the other competitors pull off.

Also Austin Rivers isn't the answer. He better not be who they have in mind.

BOS seems pretty confident that they're getting LMA.

I highly doubt it but you never know.

Jeff Teague and Austin Rivers I think will firmly be on our radar. And Otto Porter if he gets bought out but I imagine a lot of teams will be in on him.

Olynyk is a great fit here if bought out. I'd have that target and of course a G. hopefully one better than Rivers.

Teague and Porter would be nice

I'd rather have Porter. Promise him big minutes. Jrue/DDV/Midds/Giannis/Lopez/Porter/Portis/PatC/ComboGuardWhenNeeded is a helluva playoff rotation.

ETA- Tucker as well.

If you're not sure, or just think the two of you might be nervous, maybe just meet up for coffee.

I didn't say DATING questions! I know all about dating. You just say, hey baby I have a good-paying job and a house, and the girls love it. Until they find out your wife and kids live with you.

Oh, my mistake- just reread it. Yes, look they naturally have a fairly high sugar content but they're actually quite good for you. They're rather high in fibre, surely a positive for a gentleman of your advancing age.

So...are the Heat really going to give Oladipo the contract he wants?

Maybe it's more a lifestyle move for him heading to Miami.
