RJ thought the Wizards were going to get Lebron, and instead they are going to get washed up, broken, walking injury and not even good when healthy Joakhim Noah on a MAX contract for 4 years

Thibs will turn them into a contender. Maybe just 5-8 this year, but I would say in the top 4 in the West within 3 years.

I'm pretty sure that report is bogus. Shot down by a few actual wizards beat guys.

Also Noah for about $8-10 mil a year is not bad under the new tv deal.

They should have INTENTIONALLY entered that territory. Instead they will be stuck as the #6-10 seed in the East for years. Fucking horrible. Not even in a middle level of Purgatory where they have exciting games or series now and then. Just a perennial bottom of the East dweller is what GarPax is shooting for.

While I would have been pissed had the Bulls traded Butler for Rubio + trash, I wish they could have unloaded him and just started the full rebuild. I don't know.

The NBA draft sucks probably more than any other draft to be completely honest. It's not because of the lottery, it's because unless you get a Lebron you just will never be a difference maker. Gah. So frustrated with the NBA.

I agree that the Bulls are setup for mediocrity or lower going forward. No offense to Jimmy Butler but he's not someone you build a team around.

That said, you can get some steals in the draft. Wasn't Curry passed over by a bunch of teams?

A lot of players would be good in that price range. Don't see your point unless it happens.

Trust me, Noah is borderline done as an NBA starter. 2 years ago I could see a max deal, he was so damn good 3 years ago. But his injuries have killed him. He is frustrating to watch. I'm so glad he will be gone.

[CrashDMB237]

Bulls would love to be in Knicks territory. I mean at least we aren't trying to dump our star in the making (Butler already is one, which is even worse).

[Tiduwho]

Careful now, you might actually convince people being a Knick fan is anything but a brown paper bag day.

[CrashDMB237]

I mean you literally just said the Bulls should have intentionally tried to be in Knicks territory. Did you just get butthurt because I said it?

[justinandimcool]

Noah to Spurs plz plz plz

There is no way anyone gives Noah a max. I fail to believe any team is that dumb. I too would sign him to $8-$10 million, though. Would be cool with the Deer giving him that.

That's not even in the top three of dumbest things a team did this week. You know what team did make the cut though? I'll let you figure it out.

That's number 1 by far dude. Rose and Melo together is a disaster waiting to happen. If Kings got Rose, you'd be all over me. You know it's true.

Yes and at least the top players on my team aren't tweeting for strength from up above

Not even close.

1. Magic trade
2. Celtics draft in general
3. Kings/Suns trade

How much yall paying Derrick next season? Combine that with Mel's salary and that's something else.....

[Lee3691]

Durant not taking meetings with Washington or the Lakers.

It's the last year of his deal and the Knicks have $35 mil in cap space still. Try again.

Good. I don't want his fragile ass in LA.

[BotheLaneFan]

Lakers are going after Whiteside/Horford and DeRozan. Tall ass team if they pull it off.

[kydmb99]

Knicks and Kings fans arguing over who's not as stupid as the other is tiring.
