Wade gives back 8 mil for the buyout.
I'm sure he'll end up in Cleveland but would be cool to see him go to OKC.

I hope he doesn't end up in OKC. Even though I'm not a Melo fan I'd like to see OKC do well. Wade isn't helping anyone any more, particularly a team with 3 guys already having that high of usage. He could possibly work well as a 6th man or if a team didn't have a primary ball handler to handle that role.

I agree. They have enough hero-ball with OKC's new big3 and adding another ball dominant G wouldn't help. I also want to see OKC do well just as an FU to KD

Wade to Cleveland makes sense. They lost a huge secondary ball handler/scorer in Kyrie and with IT's hip a bit up in the air, adding Wade should help their depth. Not necessarily saying he's their missing piece, but he should have a bigger impact with the Cavs than with OKC. It's also the surest route to another Finals appearance for Wade.

If they sign Wade, im going to laugh when Bosh gets medically cleared to play and also signs with the Cavs for the veterans minimum.

Alan being out really strengthens the tank. Looks like God is on our side this year.

Still unsure about duration though, could be back in November or might be out for season.

Wade sucks now. Bulls fans couldn't stand him last year. He barely shot over 50% last year, his ast/to ratio is terrible. I mean Rose was better offensively than him and he was awful as well. Wade is slightly better defensively. Then he misses 25% of the season on average. I don't think he helps a team at all.

Jared Dudley has said that Tyler Ulis has been the most impresive player out there in the practices.

The second one for him has been TJ Warren. He said that no one can stop him.

I think last year he had two guys as well. One was Len.

As long as Booker and Jackson stay healthy our overall plan stays in tact even with 5 lengthy injuries.

One big change with Alan going down: I think this forces our hand with TJ at the 4. I think we'll see Bledsoe/Booker/Warren/Quese/Chandler to start, but I see Bender playing almost exclusively at the 5 and a lot of TJ "backing up" Quese at the 4.

The Suns want to begin dialogue with Warren’s representatives about an extension when McDonough mentioned it to me in July (sic), and it makes a ton of sense. Warren is the perfect fit for a team starved of scorers

This sounds like just this guy's opinion, but would be great to see.

And I think whether it is at the beginning of the season or after the All-Star break, we will see both Chriss and Bender starting.

Tyler looks bigger. Dragan too.

It sounds like Alex's focus this year is on improving his midrange J and adding some post moves. When asked about a go-to move by TC, he says "running hook." I've seen that running hook. The nickname for that hook could be "The Fifth Pick." Jesus, Alex.

If he really uses his running hook, he's going to be unemployed next year
GOD knows how many bricks he can throw with that move. DAMN
