    It would be nice if Bosh retires and they moved Dragic. I hope KD signs with Miami but at whose expense? They already have expensive players signed and are wanting to get Wade, Whiteside and KD. I just don't see it happening as far as getting those 3 and keeping the other big contracts they have at the moment. If they only are able to get Wade and Whiteside i think they will still be very competitive next season as in top 3 in the East. Deng and Joe Johnson aren't expected to come back either. It should be interesting in the next few days.

    DeRozan back to the raptors on a 5 year deal. Also apparently Pau is open to returning to the Lakers.

    *edit* Batum 5 year 120 mill back with Charlotte.

    Clarkson 4 years 50 mill to stay with the Lakers, Clarkson's underpaid and Mozgov is overpaid, lots of players gonna be overpaid in this market.

    No idea, curious to hear the details. Maybe Clarkson didn't know how crazy the market is somehow or just wanted to leave room for the Lakers to do more? I don't know, definitely happy about it though. Lakers still have plenty of cap room to get someone else, not sure who it'd be though.

    Must have been before he heard what they gave Mozgov lol. Sounds like he only talked to the Lakers, what a dummy.

    Jeremy Lin to the Nets 3 years 36M, beautiful...

    Can't stand Jeremy Lin, glad he went to a s--- team I don't care about like the Nets.

    *edit* since this was tweeted basically right after Lin was signed, gotta assume it's Jack's response to the nets cutting him and getting Lin.

    Nets were an awful team with healthy Jack, Joe Johnson and Thad Young. Lin is a slight upgrade from Jack, but they still need to replace the other two (just to be the 3rd/4th worst team in the league) and their will be more competition as everybody has PG's (well outside Philly lol).

    Yeah I'm surprised somebody like the Knicks, or any team really, didn't try maxing him. Maybe they knew LA would match and the teams who were interested decided not to bother? Ever since the new CBA restricted FA has been pretty boring.

    Pacers about to sign Al Jefferson for 3 years 30 million. Not bad.

    Looks like OJ is on the juice again. Suspended and can apply for reinstatement in 2 YEARS. d---.

    Parsons and the Grizzlies have agreed on a 4 year 94 million dollar deal. Always thought he was a good player, but I can't believe he got a max with those knee issues.

    Wow I wanted Turner back but he'll be making almost 19 M a year next year while Crowder/Bradley/Isaiah make a combined 21 M.



    A lot of money for a guy who has FT line range

    Jeff Green to Magic for 15 mil/1 year. Not bad I guess. We're pretty stacked at the wing positions now.

    Celtics are punting if they don't get Horford or Durant. Expect more 1/1 deals with Kris Humphries or Luol Deng types. Other teams are ecstatic to be the 2 or 3 seed in the East, Ainge isn't.

    We got Jaylen Brown, next God on the court. He just needs to improve (insert everything here) and we'll be great.
