WHAT THE FUCK, DWADE SIGNING WITH THE BULLS, I'M OUT

Sounds like Miami didn't want to pay up, which is a bit of a bitch move since Wade took less money for so many years.

LOL WADE

Wade wants to play in his hometown but without the hometown discount in a contract. :lawl:



Bulls need to trade Calderon and Dunleavy in order to clear cap space to sign Wade to a 25 million per year contract.

lmao this fuckin offseason has to be one of the craziest in recent memory

Miami dun goofed, offering Wade $10 million after he took so many paycuts already. I would be choked too, especially seeing all the other contracts being signed around him.
Delladova $9.5m?? Joakim Noah $18m!... and he was offered half a mil more than Della-fucking-dova?...
He already won 3 championships so he doesn't have to chase rings, it's a nice move to go home and play where he grew up. He's still effective and will be amusing to watch how Rondo/Wade/Butler/Lopez gel or implode. That team suddenly got interesting and could compete for a top 3 spot in the east.

they offered 2 year/$40M btw, not $10M

No the initial offer was $10m then when Wade got pissed at the insulting offer and started meeting other teams; the Heat then panicked and bumped up the offer to please him. Too little too late.

Report: Miami Heat offered Dwyane Wade $10 million per season

Good luck in the Bulls coaching staff in trying to build an offence with dominant ball handlers who don't have a reliable outside jumper in Wade and Rondo.

Rondo's knees are wonky at age 30. Wade's body has quite a bit of mileage on it.
Rondo also had past issues of arguments with coaches like Doc Rivers. This dude is high maintenance.

Then you have Jimmy Butler who needs possessions for his offensive game.

How are they gonna share the ball? :lawl:

bulls created a roster that i would expect from the knicks ... did they hire issiah thomas as a consultant? :lawl:

IF the Bulls somehow click it will be entertaining, if not it will still be amusing to watch lol. I still remember he almost joined the Bulls the last time he was a FA and when Rose was still really good. Too bad that didn't pan out.

It's official. Tim Duncan announces his retirement after playing his entire 19 season career with the Spurs.

One of the most productive, and low profile superstar players in the history of the NBA. :thumbsup:

-admire him for his old school style of play with his bank shots off the backboard after shooting his jumpers.

His exemplary behaviour on and off the court is the definition of class. No finger wagging, chest thumping, or shameless self promotion from T.D. He just played the game under the "team first" mentality and playing system under coach Pop. :thumbsup:


Duncan is so low key that only the Spurs made the official announcement about his retirement.
He's the complete opposite of Kobe. :lawl:

His playing days back in the day with David Robinson bring back good memories. Twin Towers. EleGiggle

T.D. is a first ballot hall of famer for sure! PogChamp

Tim Duncan announces his retirement after a 19-year career - SBNation.com

One of the greatest careers in basketball history has come to an end. Tim Duncan, a five-time champion, two-time MVP, three-time Finals MVP and 15-time All-Star announced he's retiring on Monday.

Duncan's career will be remembered for many things, but his ability to consistently be great is what separates him from nearly every other player who's ever stepped foot on an NBA floor. During the 1997-1998 season, as a 22-year-old rookie, Duncan averaged 19.4 points, 11 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 2.3 blocks per 36 minutes. His PER was 22.6. As a 39-year-old during the 2014-2015 season he averaged 17.3 points, 11.4 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 2.4 blocks per 36 minutes. His PER was 22.6. Duncan never played fewer than 61 games in a season (excluding the 50-game lockout season in 1999) and his team won at least 50 games every year of his career (again, excluding the lockout-shortened '99 season).

He, along with Gregg Popovich, transformed the small-market San Antonio Spurs into a powerhouse of a franchise, a team and organization, that every other one in world of professional sports has looked to emulate for years. And it all started with the man known as the Big Fundamental.

His game was never flashy, though to true basketball enthusiasts it was more beautiful than anyone else's. The impeccable footwork from the low block. The genius-level understanding of defensive angles and positioning. The automatic bank shot off the glass. And, perhaps most important of all, the ability to lead by example and desire to empower the revered man now commonly referred to as Pop.

"The truth is we all work for Timmy," Spurs general manager R.C. Buford is fond of saying.

That right there tells you all you need to know.

bullshit, get a discount contract and sign with the cavs and replace love

:lawl:

Damn he could still be productive if he signed a vets minimum to play. What a sad day, losing 2 NBA greats in 1 season. First Kobe now Timmy. :okay:

There are rumours about Westbrook getting traded to the Celtics.

If this trade happens, this might be actually be good for the NBA. A rebalancing of the star players between the East and West. :lawl:

Report: Thunder eyeing Westbrook trade, Celtics most likely partner - CBSSports.com

Isiah Thomas to OKC?

Is Boston, Sacramento, and the Clippers involved in a big trade?

This is the latest news of the deal:

Griffin to the Celtics, Rudy Gay goes from the Kings to the Clippers, and Boston gives up draft picks to the Kings.

Spurs give Manu 1 year 14mil. What a class organization.

There initial offer was only around $3mil for the year, but then philly threw $30mil over 2 years at manu so spurs had to drastically increase their offer.

the thought of manu in philly DansGame

These organizations... so badly run. Like why the fuck would you give Manu 2 years 30 mil? Just SMH. So many draft picks years after years, squandering them all. Like the Cavs, if wasn't for LeBron falling on their laps, probably still shit tier "rebuilding".
