Official Offseason News and Rumors

Dear Lord, I don't ask you for much. Please make sure that 'Melo goes to the Rockets. The idea of him, Harden and Dwight fighting over "touches" and watching Dwight in constant foul trouble because of opponents constantly driving past 'Melo and Harden and into the paint unchecked will make for some incredibly entertaining basketball.

Amen.

I see another first round exit in Dwight's future.

Minny should take that deal in a heartbeat. They are not going to get better than that unless some GM loses his mind.

Barea is an overpaid backup, Martin is a role player/volume shooter - I fail to see what they're giving up outside of Love. They are getting a solid player in Lee, and a great young talent in Thompson, as well as a draft pick.

TAKE THE DEAL

Martin is a solid 6th guy but no way he starts with steph curry

Given Hairston's history, him and JR Smith have disaster written all over them. Ladies and Gentlemen, the New York Knicks!

According to a league source, Anthony is intrigued by the idea of playing for Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau. During the season, Anthony sought out multiple ex-Chicago wing players—separate from the widely reported conversations he had with Bulls center Joakim Noah, the NBA's reigning Defensive Player of the Year—about Thibodeau, according to the source.

I would take that we should have never let Lee go to begin with.

Golden State Warriors' pursuit of Kevin Love hits impasse - ESPN

 

[Hambombs]

"The Warriors have an 'organizational split' on whether to trade Klay Thompson in a package that would acquire Love. Steve Kerr and Jerry West have voiced opposition to surrendering Thompson and a first round pick for Love.

"Others in the organization are more willing to trade away Thompson."

What's the cap situation if they get Afflalo? Can they still swing Melo? If both those moves can happen, Chicago is flat out winning the East next year even if Rose is just 65% healthy. I might even make them title favorites. Rose, Butler, Melo, Gibson, Noah with Afflalo as a 6th man is flat out filthy.

Might not be able to make that happen given Melo will likely want a max deal.

Thunder going after Afflalo too.

 

[bksballer89]

They really need him. Need another perimeter scorer who can consistently give you 13-16 PPG and take the pressure off Westbrook & Durant

Anthony, according to league sources, has already done some homework on the Bulls and the city of Chicago. He's talked to more than one high-profile person who lives in Chicago about what it's like to be famous in the Windy City, league sources say.
