I will update this when the schedule is announced in a couple of weeks, but I will open with the new uniforms for the Charlotte Hornets below.

You realize trade exceptions are rarely used right? Of course you don't.

Agreed.

Yeah I just saw that. Pau is Tiago Splitter on performance enhancers. Would be a great system fit and a great signing overall.

Spurs dont have the money. They want pau on like a 5 million a year. Im hearing he wants more then that, at least 9-10.

Bulls and Lakers are completing a sign and trade for Gasol. Bullet dodged there

[okcchief]

The Thunder are more interested in resigning Reggie than paying Gasol apparently. Hopefully they can do it before October because I have a feeling his stocks going up next year.

@chicagobullsbot: Chicago Bulls and LA Lakers are finalizing a sign-and-trade deal that will send Pau Gasol to the Bulls. (Source: Jesús Sánchez/Marca). Will help persuade Melo.

Really like Vince to my Grizzlies. It gives them a finisher at SF, something they haven't had in a while.

@BullsSource: Chicago Bulls basically offering Melo $15m-$16m/yr for two seasons, and then a full 4yr/$97m max the following season. This could happen tomorrow

Lol Melo is a paycheck player. If he goes to CHI I'll be shocked and proved wrong.

No, I didn't; that's why I asked you the question. I heard they had one and figured you, of anyone, might know.

What's with the need to be a dick?

I figure he takes the 120M+ that NYK can pay him. 2 yrs 32M would easily be the biggest paycut a star has taken in their prime or otherwise.

It's been an odd market for guards so far. Pretty much everyone is getting paid more than you would expect and then the Kings let Isaiah Thomas go for 4 yrs 27M.
