    He’s restricted, not sure what he was expecting. Probably bring him back on the QO and then he’d be a UFA next year.

    That's how restricted FA usually goes. Don't think the Bulls have extended an offer to LaVine either. Doesn't help that there's like 3 teams with cap space at the moment. You either sign an offer sheet with Sac/ATL/Chi, have your agent find a sign & trade, or just accept the qualifying offer and become a UFA next summer when more teams will have cap space

    Celtics should fairly easily win the east imo if they stay relatively healthy.

    Think Warriors Celtics is by far the most likely finals match up next season.

    The RFA market is horrible this year. Teams really regretting giving out Mozgov money 2 years ago right now lol. Sucks for players like Smart and LaVine who deserve more than the QO’s they’ll probably end up signing for. I especially thought the Kings would be offering one of those 2 a big deal. I think Smart, despite his horrific offensive numbers, is like Draymond in a guard’s body and is super valuable to any team. LaVine is still super young and a walking 20 ppg but like Poohdini been saying, he’s quite the r----- and plays no D lol. Smart is definitely who I’d be targeting but yeah, probably not gonna happen for either of them.
    Agreed. Never thought I’d see myself cheering for Boston in the Playoffs, let alone the finals, but it’s gonna happen unless the Sixers get Kawhi. Then it may at least be more interesting.

    I'm passing on Zach for anything above $10 million per, he can do all the work in the gym but that isn't gonna help his IQ or defense. Lauri was so much better when he was out. I think before he tore his ACL the Wolves were like 10 games under .500 when he played lol

    Yea like you said I think he’s an ideal 6th man who can get you 17-20 a game real quick.

    Gonna be so disgusted if the Lakers end up signing Melo. Pretty much the last guy in the league I’d want on the team right now.

    Sign Brook Lopez back to the squad and call it a year, wait till the trade deadline at least or more likely next offseason. But signing Brook would help cuz he’s a center and a shooter and they could use both.

    Reporter for the Chicago Tribune who's seen as a mouthpiece for the FO says Bulls have floated an offer around $18 per lol. Him not accepting that tells you all you need to know about how far removed from reality Zach is

    Pre-ACL tear and a year or two ago’s market... that’d be pretty realistic lol but not this year.

    Maybe we're finally done seeing the Spurs win titles in the Pop era, guess we could have assumed that a couple years ago(maybe) but I dunno, I felt they still had a shot in recent seasons at least compared to basically every team besides the warriors and cavs.

    i mean, we play pretty great against every other team but the cavs lol, celtics the clear favorites though but i think it would be closer than you're making it sound, especially if we get rid of fa---- a--- ibaka

    Yea but their haven't really been any other legitimate teams in the East since the Celtics big 3 disbanded/got old. This Celtics team really should have just beat the Cavs, while missing two all stars. I mean really as a tandem most ppl would take Kyrie and Hayward over Derozan and Lowry, w/o batting an eye lash. Yet we don't have those 2 and take the Cavs to 7, while y'all have Derozan/Lowry and can't win a game. What do the Raps win 25 games w/o those 2?

    IDK man I know how you Raptors fans are, but its a reach to say they'd even compete with the Celtics.

    I wish Tony Parker would have retired. I like seeing a player play his entire career for one franchise

    @Poohdini Kings offered 80 mill 4 years to LaVine, Bulls have 48 hours to match.

    Looks like you get your wish, hard to believe the Bulls match that so he’s gotta be gone.

    I’ll believe they don’t match when I see Zach holding up a Sacramento jersey. Still skeptical that they’ll let him go

    I just don’t think he’s worth that kind of money. Obviously I hope he proves me wrong but I don’t see it
