Is Chris Bosh a FA? Can he sign with anybody or is there a waiting period for him

Yep someone will sign a player who may literally die if he keeps going on the court


Yep someone wants to deal with that

Morey is like one signing away from GM's version of Pop, he's the Rockets' best asset, not Harden. Nene deal is sweet.

Atm Meyers-Buford-Morey-Ainge-Masai-Presti(?) seem like the top tier for GMs. Presti has the Harden trade weighing him down.

I love Dork Elvis though, he's great. He, Les Alexander, Harden, D'Antoni, and Bzdelick have a really great ring where they all mutually respect others' opinions and also leave them to their jobs going on.

I honestly wonder.

How long until we get a player that only plays home games. Could that be worth something? Bosh's issue is with playing after flights, right?

I don't think he could be cleared medically. The NBA and NBPA agreed he suffered a career-ending illness so his salary could be covered by insurance for Miami.

Wow, this a weird image 🤔🤔🤔

Shit with the way the East lookin LeBron may play once or twice a week and that's it


But seriously I don't think that's gonna happen, ain't no one wanna be the one to deal with that

Steph Curry to become first NBA player with average annual salary of $40M+. Jordan's inflation adjusted 97-98 salary though is $50M.

Now that Blake Griffin is going back to Clippers, expect Phoenix to go hard for Paul Millsap. They're fans.

But I mean, why not?

Fuck, Bosh would be great on the Rockets. Sign him for a cheap-ass contract and let's get him playing at home court.

 

[TTG]

15 straight finals for Lebron if he stays in the East, 3-15 record.

 

[Caddywompus]

So Teague is reported to get 3yr/55mil contract? So they gave up a 1st rd pick to pay their starting PG more?

We've had tons of fun on here Basketball Twitter. Especially this month. And we'll have fun together again someday soon. Promise #thisleague

My money is him ending up with the Vertical, and ESPN somehow making Woj not the defacto anymore and Marc Stein ends up being the main bomb-dropper

 

[FZZ]

15 straight finals for Lebron if he stays in the East, 3-15 record.

I wouldn't even care how weak the east is

if he makes it to 17 straight finals that would be fucking insane

even if he wins 0

If he dies after you signed him, that's his blood on your hands. He can be an analyst, he's gonna be in the HoF, I think he literally needs to sit down and be a family man

Here you go @NBA

How can Hayward leave this dude?

 

[Kickz]

Thibowolves received a 1st rounder

 

[Hyperactivity]

Looking at the inverse of the Eastern tanking teams/Western playoff hopefuls situations, imagine how great you feel if you're the Kings, Suns, or Celtics/Sixers. You're basically guaranteed one of the worst records in the league, no questions asked.

If the Jazz lose Hayward, they get a top 6 pick, near-guaranteed.

Marc Stein's final tweet.

He's not dying as far as I know.

 

[GraveRobberX]

There is too much goddamn money coming to the players, Holy Shit

Good job on getting it guys, you deserve every penny

These contract numbers people are dropping are ABSURD!

Fucking Bestbrook getting 41+ million per season if he takes that extension, GOD DAMN!

 

[Lionel Richie]

The PG trade actually lowers OKC's payroll by about $4 mil next season, giving them more room under the tax to re-sign Andre Roberson.

 

[TTG]

If the Jazz lose Hayward, they get a top 6 pick, near-guaranteed.

And like 100 mil in salary, what a deal!

 

[Sandfox]

He's not dying as far as I know.

This is his final tweet before he's officially laid off and replaced by Woj in 10 minutes.

But always keep this in mind, the players are rich, the owners are wealthy. Hopefully less and less stars end up on a 30 for 30 talkin bout where there went wrong

Nah, it would hurt, but they're still a solid team and obviously committed to not bottoming out. Other than the Wolves, the teams that have added players are already playoff teams.

I can't see them being worse than: Lakers, Sixers, Magic, Suns, Net, Knicks, Bulls, just to start.


Who is everyone's bet for the Mozgov award of worst contract right at the 12:01 marker?

 

[Caddywompus]

Thibowolves received a 1st rounder

Ah that's right, I was thinking they were trying to shed Rubio's contact because they could get someone equal a bit cheaper.

 

[TTG]

ESPN thing is live, I don't see Woj at the table. Windhorst must have stabbed him in the back room.

Someone on twitter said it best "I don't know how, but that run by Lavar was racist"

 

[Hyperactivity]

The Pelicans added Boogie and will have a full season with him.

The Nuggets won't have Jokic on the bench and their young core will have more years together.

The Blazers will have Nurkic.

The Mavs, before they got eliminated from the playoffs and after they recovered from their mess of injuries, were playing well, and restocked on young talent (Carlisle has also done more with less many times before)

It's not a question of if the Jazz will be that bad, so much as who can they be better than?

Well I mean you cut out at least 7 teams I listed.

Windhorst, with all disdain in the world, reminded me just how shit Oladipo's contract is. I totally forgot they're paying him 80+ mil. Oh Indiana.

 

[friskykillface]

4 minutes until Ainge signs Mozgawd

Ainge really about to do it

he's gonna marry his assets

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Milsap going West too? East is truly in shambles.

 

[LyleLanley]

"In addition to the huge offers BOS made for Paul George, @WindhorstESPN said ATL offered four first-rounders for George at the deadline too." -@AlexKennedyNBA

Bird really fucked the Pacers by not trading PG at the deadline.

Gawd that would be such a Milsap move the go to DEN

 

[Hyperactivity]

Was it possible for the Thunder to have signed Durant and Horford while keeping Oladipo and Sabonis for Paul George?

Jeff Teague has agreed to a three-year, $57M deal with the Minnesota Timberwolves, league sources tell The Vertical. 3rd-year player option.

Sources: Tony Snell has agreed to 4-year, $46M deal -- $44M guaranteed -- to return to Milwaukee. Player option... http://www.espn.com/espn/now?nowId=21-0672652326451811732-4 …
