Don't remember seeing here, but Blazers waived Deandre Ayton
Bulls twitter is pretty split on whether or not we should make a run at him.

I don't think it matters thought because I think he wants to go to a contender.

I know nothing of his desires other than I'm pretty sure they don't include Chicago

In a pretty unsurprising move, Ayton is going to the Lakers

Firing Thibs and ending up with Mike Brown is so Knicks.

I suggested they pull a Costanza: call Thibs in for a meeting and pretend they never fired him.

What a complete **** up by the Knicks.

If they had just waited 10 days, they would have realized they lost to a clearly superior Pacers team, which was possibly a Haliburton injury away from winning the championship. At that point, the job Thibs did wouldn't have seemed nearly as bad.

hey clearly had no plan in place after they fired him, and it showed.

I was just talking about that draft bust the other day.
I thought he would be a solid pro. But it turns out he’s only going to be an ex-con in the future. That 2013 sweet 16 game vs Michigan was bonkers.

OKC decides they're either gonna go hard in the paint on tax payments, or break up their team in 2 years by maxing Chet.
