I guess Delaney is going to be on an NBA team.

Wizards sign Barcelona's PG Satoransky to a 9m/3yrs deal.

Due to the cap rise, it's indeed much easier to compete with European teams. I'm still confused why Vesely is reportedly demanding a salary of 10+ M per year when he makes less than a third of it in Europe.

My gut feeling is that KD goes to Boston and the Nets are screwed for a long time. It would be the final send off from Billy King.

I can't see much logic in switching from OKC to Boston. If he wants to do that, he can do it next year.

He either takes the easy way to the rings with the Warriors or he stays another year with OKC and then decides his future in 2017.

With that said, it's scary how close the Celtics have got to landing him or at least some people have tried to make it look like that.

Rondo has found a taker.

So Doc overpays his son them overpays Crawford ($42m/3 years) to make his son's deal look less outrageous.

Shall we go after Seth Curry?

What is going on in Chicago? I feel like they need an intervention or something.

Why on Earth would KD go to Boston?

If hes leaving hes going to the Warriors. Al Horford is not going to bring him to the promised land.

That would feel like us getting Travis Outlaw after LeBron chose to go to the Heat. :lol:

They had a huge hole at point guard and there was no other starting point guard left on the market, I think they got him on a fair deal.

Fair deal because Rondo can't find another taken either.

Can't wait to watch the Rondo/Butler power struggle :lol:

Yeah I agree

But I remember a couple of weeks ago they were thinking of trading Butler to Minnesota and go into rebuild mode Now they have Butler who likes the ball in his hands and has said either he or Rose had to go, in backcourt with Rondo? I used to have an impression Bulls ran a tight ship but recently they seem to be lurching around -- making decisions late after they run out of all good options

That's a great deal to get Rondo on, still question how he works almost anywhere though, he's such a handjob.

Like on paper they're a fantastic fit, but in reality they're likely an epic train wreck.

Kind of like Harden and Dwight situation??
