Hornets.

Bogut. Take on his contract and a 1st or whatever

Every move that has occurred thus far has come out of left field. As far as I'm concerned, if we're tied to a certain player in a rumor, we're not getting him. However, I enjoy them for conversational and hypothetical purposes.

Nah, Mahinmi is a great C off the bench. Will be perfect for when Vucevic has his semi-annual ankle sprains and concussions

Whiteside back to Miami. Dallas strikes out on a big again lol

Problem is going to be Bazemore's price tag. Too many teams involved, so someone will overpay, most likely

A bench of Crawford and Meeks would be fun for a handful of games

Ask Luke Ridnour

Not a bad shooter to have off the bench

Happens a decent amount in baseball, too

Didn't realize Allen Crabbe is an RFA. That would be a nice under-the-radar-like signing if you could pry him away from Portland.

Strange. Guessing it was due to having a diminished role on offense?

Seems like a Jason Smith-esque guy

Sounds similar to December of 2010...

Oladipo would still make less than Ibaka if both are given their respective max contract situations iirc but I know what you mean. Depends on your value of Serge. In this market, I'd tend to lean towards Oladipo being worth the max, but I also think he was asked to do a lot on a bad team.

Difference between RFA and UFA

My only "issue" with the deal is the inherent risk that it entails. If Hennigan flops in FA and can't manage to swing another decent sized deal to balance the roster, this could very well blow up in his face. Right now the roster has a lot of question marks and with a bunch of other teams ready to splurge on max contracts in FA, I have my doubts. Hope I'm wrong, of course. Ibaka 3 years ago would be great, but unfortunately (and oddly) he's shown regression... Over multiple seasons. Can Ibaka turn it around? Sure and Hennigan has shown he can swing deals that are much better than they look on paper. I don't know, I'm just more confused than anything. Oladipo was a good player who was asked to do a lot more than he should on a bad team and that shouldn't be held against him. Hard to dislike the guy, but people still find a way so whatever. Kinda hope to see Vucevic sent elsewhere, too so Gordon can continue to develop.

His regular season was dreadful.

If you have Ibaka, you probably don't need Horford, FWIW. I disagree on Oladipo in OKC. I think he'll be great there. Less focus on offense and more on what he should be: defense. His major adjustment will be learning to play off-ball.

Ibaka has never been more than the 3rd best player on his team and players will want to come to Orlando just because of him?

I don't post here enough anymore to really feel like changing it

Literally how I feel right now

Eh, Chicago's front office is weird and the city still loves Rose since he's the hometown guy.

Try less.

Seems realistic.
