Yeah, I agree to some degree. GOod players are good players, but they have to have toughness inside to guard Lebron and other big bruising players. They have let Ezeli go? Honestly it wouldn't have been a bad idea to sign a cheap, defensive minded player like Cole Aldrich but too late.

But it does seem like the days of selling a team tied with a billion dollar TV contract in tow are probably past. If you're DeWitt and can get them sold around 2019; right as that cable money has bumped up their books but before the full onslaught of reduced television deals, you may be wise to do so. It would be catastrophic for the Cards if he did as the debt service would grossly undermine the team's ability to maintain a competitive payroll, but I wouldn't blame him for a minute. (But seriously, Bill - the !@#$ing team is paid for and has been for a decade...can you please get us Bryce Harper? Pretty please?)

BTW, does anyone want to do a CP fantasy league next year? Maybe for about $100. Most of my friends are NFL and MLB guys, and don't follow the NBA like I do. Would be nice to be in something to keep my interest in the NBA, especially with Durant leaving my team, OKC

And Love without offense is a liability even if he can rebound, because his defense is atrocious, even though he did make a terrific stop at the end of the GS game. He got knocked around in the post, which is bad, because Tristan Thompson is a completely worthless offensive player unless he's right next to the basket. I don't think Millsap is ideal for the Cavs, but he's a much, much better fit. If Love wants to play every game like he did game 7 against GS, more power to him. But he will get frustrated as hell if that's how they want to use him. Of course, the better option is to bring in Small Forwards and move Lebron to Power Forward and force him to evolve into a post player. So from that perspective, honestly the Cavs don't need Milsap or Love. Which might actually be one of the more intriguing reasons to trade away Love and consider a Small Forward option like Wade. |

Wade to the Bulls.
I'm cool with it, but no spacing with him and Rondo. |

So basically the Bulls traded Derrick Rose, Jose Calderon, Dunleavy, and Holliday for Wade, Jerian Grant, and Brook Lopez. Not sure what to think though their high priced chip has a much better shot at playing time.

What a bizarre off-season for the Bulls. WTF are they doing? Hire a coach for the pace and space era, then give him a team more comfortable with early '90's basketball. Bizarre.

Well guess I get to follow the Bulls now. I wonder if I can find all of my old Jordan stuff from my child hood.

So they trade a guy that's always hurt to pay someone more that always hurt and about 10 years older?

The Lakers just traded for Jose Calderon so they have that going for them.
