Around the NBA 10

The superteam stuff doesn't bother me at all. It's not like the league hasn't had superteams before. The only difference this time is that it's not just management building them, free agency has introduced an element of player choice into their creation in addition to what was done before.

I just can't find it in me to get mad at players for deciding who they want to work with and where they want to live. Those are choices that are important to me too. I'm not weak for working at a good company with good people and neither are they.

I seem to recall plenty of backlash, especially toward LeBron after the decision mess. Don't really blame the players on a micro/individual level, but the Durant thing is on them as a whole for rejecting the cap smoothening proposals.

Damian Lillard to Lakers or Knicks per Stephen A. Smith

Where did you see this? It's not on the ESPN App or his Twitter page.

They discussed Lillard taking the Blazers off of one of his social media accounts or something this morning on ESPN, just speculating more than anything.

Lillard is a fantastic fit with LeBron

I like BAll at Portland as well, a different look for that team

They'll make it work but the ripple from this would be hilarious.

Now that Melo is free to sign with any team he needs to be headed on the first plane to Los Angeles. He and LeBron play well off of each other and Melo was at his best in the Olympics being the scorer after LeBron facilitated the offense.

Just take back the trade, buyout Dwight and not spend the MLE this year. I'd rather do that at this point. Say Mozgov failed his physical

We get the TPE as well. And that could be earmarked for Beverly. Or the MLE could be earmarked for Shabazz. Or the Nets might have an agreement deadline where they move Dinwiddie to the Hornets to create the space to.facilitate the trade.

already official btw. Dwight is already finalizing his buyout with BRK and signing with WAS

Where will Shabazz Napier land? I hope he wasn't waiting on Parker to return to the Spurs.

I think I heard LaVine belch all the way here on the East Coast after he gorged himself on the Bulls' cap space.

I like Zach LaVine, but I'm letting him walk if I'm Chicago. They're one of the only teams with cap space, and can do a lot with that space if they want to

MasterIchiro · Post #1096 » by **MasterIchiro** » Sat Jul 7, 2018 1:03 am

LaVine is a poor defender. If the Kings acquire him, they will need defense on the wing. I'm hopeful MKG can moved there for Shumpert's expiring contract.

So Dwight ended up giving up 5 mil. Does this mean we took on an extra year of Mozgov for no reason whatsoever?
