Barely. It's crazy, these two are suffocating the remaining teams.

Can we get an update on which teams have money left? I don't think Schroder is getting the deal he thought he was getting.

San Antonio, OKC, technically Chicago if they renounce all their cap holds.

All three have point guards. Schroder should fire his agent.

Schroder should definitely fire his agent.

How did Derozan get $85 million from the Bulls? No one else was doing that surely?

When you've been crap for so long, you do anything to acquire talent.

Bucks could win 3 chips in a row and most players will still prefer to not come to Milwaukee.

That's not a bad contract. The bulls will have a pretty good starting five. They lost front court depth in that trade though.

When the majority of the team is eying up that night's "Murder She Wrote" re-runs instead of concentrating on the task at hand (winning basketball games), please exercise the requisite humility and admit your opinion was misguided.

Half the players arent even that old and 90% of this board was crying we didnt resign 37 year old Tucker. Tell me how this team is worse than last year. Enlighten me

I don't think they're worse, but I don't think they're all that great.

I also doubt AD will ever stay healthy for a full season, so that colors my opinion of them.

Also, when did Malik Monk become some key piece?

:lol:

In free agency you can get better, while locking yourself in to a team with a very low ceiling. Ever since the trade deadline, the Bulls are sort of hell bent on owning the 5th seed, at any cost. But what’s the master plan? Sure they are better, but a team with Vuc, Lavine, and Derozan will struggle to guard. Ball and Derozan can’t shoot on the move from deep. I don’t get it. What is the plan? They will score a lot I guess?

Every FA going to LA/NY and a little bit MIA only shows how dumb are all those discussions on the GB about what is a big market and what is a small market

But Atlanta Metro population is higher than blah
Toronto is not a small market
Dallas is huge!

Nobody gives a **** about your census results, you still not getting any good FAs and that's what makes you a small market.

Yea I’m in the camp that thinks the Lakers will be overrated. Unless we go through a big break again and start the playoffs with everyone rested like in 2020, I don’t think the Lakers get to the finals.

Nets current favorites at +220.
Lakers +375
Bucks +950
Warriors +1000
Suns, Sixers, Jazz +1600

Warriors at +1000 seems weird.

Damn is Collins really baulking at signing a 5/125m deal!? Take the damn money, John!

Bulls actually have a pretty pesky team. Possible trap team if they get the 6/7 seed

I’m so pumped for Keifer Sykes. What a night for the guy. My family has had season tickets to UWGB for 20 years, he was so damn fun to watch.
