Hopefully Thad gets traded today so he can be bought out and we could simply grab him off the buyout pile
Thought someone said somewhere that we can't sign him this season due to some rule.

Imo if it ain't confirmed by Woj or Shams it ain't happening. Those two know everything about everything when it comes to this stuff

Yeah, Woj is historically pretty accurate, as far as insiders go.

But his reports on this one have changed a lot in the last 24 hours.

It went from no conversations happening, to no meaningful conversations happening, to Harden wanting to play in Philly but the conversations haven't been serious to this point and it's possible a deal gets done today.

And now it's "James Harden wants a trade, but won't formally request deal due to concern over public backlash"

I'm actually really glad the Bulls are all quiet right now, with Wins at a premium due to injuries and such anything you can do to keep distractions down is a positive at this point to me.

They can if he gets moved to another team other than the spurs first

The Kings hand reveals itself.
Target White Chocolate…they couldn’t help themselves.

Flipped for a chance to 7/2 the Warriors or 8/1 the Suns. They didn’t want to wait for a PG to develop and choose someone else.

The Lakers and Kings are going for the playoff chance.

I know I’m in the minority on this, but I don’t hate what the kings are doing. Sabonis and fox make a nice duo. And davion Mitchell and dicincenzo are two solid complimentary wing players…and they still have Barnes for now lol. Considering the kings can’t use FA to attract stars, they managed to get an all star in sabonis to build around

Haliburton's ceiling is much higher than Sabonis'.

Maybe so. But they have Fox already, and IMO it’s easier to find a really good guard than it is to find a really good big man

Boston just got under the luxury tax. Unlikely a Schroder deal happens

How you guys feel about signing Goran Dragic? He’s getting bought out by SA. He could help fill in till Lonzo and Caruso get back
