Wade also lost weight last year and finally ate right. All accounts were that he has been kind of lazy about his weight and it has been reflected in his injuries.

Could be that the Bulls were just trying to not completely lose momentum while ditching Noah and Rose.

Meanwhile, the Cavs get Dunleavy, which is a solid pickup for them.

I actually like the Bulls current roster mix of young and old players same with the Jazz. They are very interesting roster constructions with a ton of different lineup possibilities. They didn't go too old or too young, and both can still be competitive. Granted probably not championship competitive but still will be a tough out and that's really all you can ask for next season if you are not one of the 3 teams that has a shot.

Was looking forward to seeing the game at Sprint Center this fall. That's no longer the case.

Ezeli signs with the Blazers, 2/$17M (2nd year team option). That's a smoking deal and a nice fit. Lakers have to be thrilled with the Mozzy deal by comparison.

It's sickening.

Who was bidding on Mozgov? Mitch and Jim Buss really are like Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunn.

If Bosh retires or is traded Miami can go after Westbrook and Griffin next year to pair with Whiteside, Winslow, and a lottery pick.

Who's trading for Bosh?

Depends upon if he's cleared.

Jim Buss trading Russell and Ingram for him.

Word on the Wade deal is he will get traded to Cleveland in December when he is eligible. Chicago gets Shumpert, Frye and multiple draft picks.

As a Bulls fan I hope that's true, but I'm not exactly holding my breath. I can see the argument for signing either Rondo or Wade, but both of them doesn't make a lot of sense. I don't know how they can get by in the modern NBA shooting 3s that poorly. I guess they could play McDermott as a stretch 4 with Mirotic at 5, but that would probably make them the worst defensive team in the league.

Hoiball. You don't have to shoot threes for Fred's spacing, but his spacing and quick play makes it easier to make 3's.

This roster suits him a lot better than last years.
