Differs in that they aren't small markets.

And their owners aren't bragging about specifics of the deals on league wide calls

Which nobody on that call remembers happening.

Shams is running a train on Woj right now lol

Per Shams, the Bulls signed Lonzo at exactly 5pm. They get these deals done so fast.

The biggest news for me is Sham is really crushing Woj so far.

Woj strikes back:

Also that's a lot of cap space drying up. Knicks had 55m.

50 million at age 36 for a guy outscored by Forbes

Knicks re-signing all their "ok" rotation guys to 3-yr deals reeks of the post-FTD Bucks offseason. Good luck with that.

What is New Orleans doing?

Is Mobley more of a 4 than 5 because I'm confused at what the Cavs are doing with him and Allen.

Looks like they were going to strike out on the PGs they wanted so they locked in Sato and Temple instead.

I think butler was still hurt but yea he can’t shoot, short arms, getting older and less athletic and depends on creating contact to score which comes and goes in the playoffs. That team is going to be old and expensive.

He's a 4 for now until he bulks up/might always be a 4 due to his base.

Just keeping Ball seemed like the best option to me.

That 13 million for Brook is looking like a steal.
