LeLakers fail to acquire Vucevic from Magic.

Instead, Orlando gives LeLA the FU and trades him to the Bulls. :P


Chicago gives up Carter Jr., Porter, and 2 future 1st rounders: https://www.sportsnet.ca/nba/article...vucevic-bulls/

Wow, with a legit multi-threat C and LaVine up front...Bulls have not looked this good for a long time.

I think with the overhaul of the front office and putting in Arturas Karnisovas and Marc Eversley to steer the ship was marvelous.

Patrick Williams seems to be a solid pick outside of Ball, Edwards, and Wiseman. Getting Vucevic gives the Bulls a really good duo. There's some similarity to the Nuggets with Joker and Murray.

Heat get Oladipo for peanuts My only concern is that he couldn't get a W during the Rockets 20-game losing streak

Rumors are that we're getting Aldridge as well. So that's Herro/Dragic, Duncan Robinson (3-pt specialist), Jimmy Butler, Aldridge, and Bam. 1 game under .500 with a 5-game losing streak.

Yeah Nets are loaded. Tonight's the first game Heat will play Oladipo vs the Knicks. Let's see if the Meyers Leonard curse continues.

I seem to care less the Nets are loaded like an All-Star team than the LeLakers. Not sure why.

Because you're a hatter But I think the real reason is because they haven't won yet.

Just a curiousity question:

What happened to Whiteside? He was like a pretty solid player for awhile and then, he left Miami and it went poof? Or were his numbers just inflated because of a rebuilding Heat squad?

Like, double-doubles usually every night and 2-3 blocks. That's some pretty good numbers. A bit like Clint Capela.

Plus a great shot blocker. I think his offense took advantage of a rebuilding Heat squad. IDK if effort fell off because I haven't watched him nor tracked him. Even though he racked up defensive numbers, his defense was suspect. Riley overpaid him and I never liked that contract. Plus his attitude wasn't the best outside of Miami. Kind of a prima donna.

Long and good career. Forever remember him as a brief Chicago Bull before the team stupidly traded him away.

While it is not over yet, it seems Clippers are Choking again.

If they get eliminated by Dallas in the first round this year... i dont see how they could stay together...

That's cuz Clippers aren't like the LeLakers and signed everyone under the sun.

Doesn't matter...the fact the LeLakers lost a game this year means they failed. The franchise should fold. LeBron should take his services to retirement.

No, LeBron is too emotionally fragile to go to a city that Jordan is a diety and can't live up to the pressures. In this way, LaVine is >>>> than LeBron.

If Lebron could do it successfully in LA, he could do it in Chicago....

The biggest market and pressure are in LA and Boston...
