Never too early to start now that teams are getting eliminated.

It seems like George to LA is a forgone conclusion but him and Philly is such a perfect fit for player and team the rest of the league should pray he goes to LA.

Lots of other interesting FA’s. I’m assuming Cousins will be back in NO but he’s be better off elsewhere IMO.

Sounds like Carmelo wasn't happy about what happened in OKC (big surprise!) and is not interested in a reserve role if he goes back to OKC. He'll probably just team up with Lebron wherever he goes.

Cousins is unrestricted. The Bulls are one of a few teams with enough cap space to make an offer. They’ve got $41 million to spend. Only second to the Lakers ($60 million). I’d rather have Cousins for $20 million a year than LaVine at $20 million.

I think Cousins will cost more than that. Jalen Rose stated that he doesn't expect Cousins to play next season and I'm inclined to believe him.

I wouldn't pay Lavine. He's a worse version of Wiggins. You don't need those types of guys.

My exact feeling. Let Sacramento or Atlanta pay him. Good riddance.

Carmelo ain't walking away from the $27 million he'll get in OKC.

Signing 34 year old former superstar Carmelo Anthony is as Reinsdorfian a move as they come.

How do you think Timberwolves fans feel about their future? Minnesota has no money to spend this summer. They’re $20 million over the cap. The resigning of Gorgui Dieng was Thibs’ first move and a really bad one. $16 million a year until 2021. Averaged 3.5 points and 4.5 boards in the Houston series. Wiggins’ extensions kicks next season. 4 years, $146 million. They’re fucked.

I’m absolutely fine rolling with Dunn and Lauri. Let LaVine get his 25 a night in Sacramento or Atlanta. The Bulls got more than the Cavs did for Kyrie. And Kyrie is the better player.

Yep Thibs has fucked that franchise completely up. Funny how he got absolutely nothing out of the "coveted" 16 pick either. Completely screwed that pick up.
