I'm surprised too. Couldn't they get a back up for less?

Odd move. The Rockets now have three centers.

Is it good or bad that a deal with Giddey hasn't been announced?

Probably good because it means Bulls aren't obviously overpaying.

It depends. If you are a fan of retaining Giddey, it’s a good thing because that would mean that no team with space is interested in tying it up with him knowing the Bulls would likely match. This may lead to a more favorable deal for us.

However, if you aren’t keen on retaining Giddey, it’s bad news for the reasoning mentioned above.

Don’t love it. Ayo played all last 2 seasons with an increasingly degrading fractured shoulder and when he returns he would have been returning to a team planning to play the way he was born to play.

Better get a decent return if we are picking Jones over him. 1 first rounder, mandatory.

And the Nets spent their cap space on the Cam/MPJ trade.

kind of weird roster construction. i liked where they were headed into free agency but i'm not sure why they prioritized DFS or another center


DFS is an odd signing. They have Sengun, Adams and Capela at C. Then Jabari and Tari at PF, but KD and Thompson can also play there (if need be).

They've also got Kelly Olynyk (I think).

Edit: Wait no. He got traded to Washington.

:banghead:

I wonder how much of a discount we could get from Vuc on a buyout? If he thinks he can get Capella or BroLo $, he should be willing to give us at least $5M off his deal, right? We'd then have our full MLE to use.
