Rondo and Wade together in the Bulls backcourt....I hope they fight frequently.

And the dozens of loyal Heat fans have to be crying tonight....

does this news possibly say anything about Bosh? Wonder if we hear some sad news on his front in the near future.

I wouldn't think Wade would up and leave him if he thought Bosh had a realistic chance at coming back healthy and playing.

Dirtiest backcourt in basketball.

and bulls do another trade because Calderon made too many 3 pointers for their liking.

I'm probably in the minority here but I actually like what the Bulls have done. Rondo-Wade-Butler will be very interesting in the backcourt and are far better than Rose or Calderon. They've added much more depth in the backcourt to pair with their stretch forwards than they had last season. Advanced stats show Rose was one of the worst players starting for an NBA team last year.

DWade to the Bulls could've happened in 2014 but I guess now isn't the bad time either.

Probably best for Miami - Wade is 35 and declining as all get-out.

In 15-16, he shot 45% from field and 15% from 3 for 19 ppg. Woohoo. Almost every stat on Basketball Ref is at a career low after trending that direction for years.

Blessing in disguise for Miami.

Relevant clip of D-Wade trying to break Rondo's arm a few years ago...

NBA revised their estimated salary cap from 107 to 102mm for next summer.

Excellent:

quote:
The league previously projected the 2017-18 cap to hit $107 million but lowered that number to $102 million Thursday and lowered the luxury tax line projection from $127 million to $122 million.

This will affect teams' planning for 2017 free agency -- specifically the Warriors. Kevin Durant is signing a contract Thursday that will allow him to re-enter the market as a free agent next summer. Because the Warriors will not have his full rights at that time, they will have to create $33.5 million in cap space if Durant wants a new max contract.

Stephen Curry and Andre Iguodala are also scheduled to be free agents next summer. The Warriors retain both players' full rights, but it will be a challenge to re-sign them while also leaving room for Durant. That challenge was just projected to be $5 million more difficult.

Kinda creepy...

quote:
Kevin Durant didn't take long to make himself at home with the Golden State Warriors.

"It's been hectic. A lot of attention comes with being in this position," Durant said of the free-agency process. "When I met these guys, I felt as comfortable as I've ever felt. It was organic. It was authentic. It was real. It was feelings I couldn't ignore.

I guess he liked Westbrook, but he didn't "like-like" him.
