If the Heat do get him, then I hope you're right.

But a guy can't that unlucky 4 years in a row haha

Oden will never be healthy. His body is a train wreck. As Bill Simmons put it, the day before he was drafted, "Greg Oden walks like an old man."

His right leg is longer than his left (though that could actually be a hip disparity that causes his leg to appear longer when it’s really not), his feet turn out (evert), his right shoulder is lower than his left, and his knees do not line up with his ankles and hips. All these imbalances are a recipe for endless injury & pain. Quite simply, Oden is not built for the NBA.

and here I thought the only reason why he kept getting injured was because he was really 65 years old..

Bulls to begin negotiating with Hawks about sign-and-trade deals for Jamal Crawford, Nuggets for Arron Afflalo​

They’ve reached out to a number of free agents, but sources close to the situation say that the Bulls are also exploring the possibility of a sign-and-trade for either Jamal Crawford or Arron Afflalo.
Chicago has been in contact with representatives for Crawford and Afflalo since Wednesday morning, and now the team is “getting creative” as they try to land one of the highly coveted guards. The Bulls will contact the Atlanta Hawks and Denver Nuggets to see if either team is interested in a sign-and-trade deal, and sources believe Chicago will offer a package that includes Ronnie Brewer.

crawford back to bulls?

or will every bull fan get their wish (except SP94) and get afflalo?

I'll take Aaron Afflalo for $1,000 Alex!

Please include Korver in that package....

Caron Butler is drawing interest from more than a dozen teams. Clippers and Bulls would be great fits.

If Battier's down to Mia, Mem, Tor and Indy as reported, and he hopes to join title contender, doesn't that narrow it even further?

Yes it would.

If Miami gets Battier and Dalembert (somehow squeezed into their pay-roll), I don't see anybody able to stop them. Dwyane Wade is not going to let that team fail.

I don't think there's anyway that could happen unless both of them take half of the MLE. And somehow it will happen. Thank the NBA owners for caving in on the MLE restrictions. Oh & the extend & trade. :smh:

 

[Anytime23]

I used to love Vinsanity but the dude is past done. He'll lose you more games than win you.

I hope they can get a sign and trade done for AA. If Miami gets two more players i'll kill myself

There's going to be a shit ton of rumors tmrw

Teams reportedly interest in David West include Indiana, Golden State and Washington. Young said the Hornets have told him they'd be open to a sign-and-trade for West if West decides not to return to New Orleans. "The Hornets want him back first and foremost," Young said. "That's their priority."

I get the feeling that they'd take a pay cut. You can complain about the MLE all you like, but if players are actually willing to make that sacrifice to get a ring, then there's nothing the league can do. If 9 million dollar talent agrees to play for 3 million, what can you do? I just hope that some of that talent goes our way instead of Miami's...but maybe I'm just a dreamer....
