Any word on who the other gentleman callers may be? Knicks of course, maybe Bulls?

bulls dont have cap space, i guess chicago is closest to rockford

So would he use the same excuse as Kawhi if he goes to Chicago about how he's "going home"?

At some point...that excuse has to break for Toronto...we should have Canadians that want to "go home"...


Income tax. We'll always be at a disadvantage because our top income tax bracket is pretty steep compared to some states.

Probably going to be a quiet night for us - which puts us at a disadvantage in terms of backup plans.

I think the Knicks could get desperate and throw the truck at VanVleet. It is kind of annoying that he is waiting til tomorrow to field teams. As for Ibaka, I think it comes down to if he wants long-term money or is willing to take a short-term deal to stick with us. But he'll likely want to see what happens with us and what other teams offer him before making a choice.

I guess I could understand Okafor as reclamation projection for a rebuilding team. But Plumlee??

Pistons now have signed Mason Plumlee and Okafor and drafted Isaiah Stewart, while they also have Christian Wood as a pending free agent. What the heck are they building, a Eurloeague team?

They are trying to one up the Knicks by signings all 5s.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Sounds like Detroit pulled out early on Wood. Clearly Casey found Wood isn't has hard as the rock and would't standing the pounding inside.
