Not only is it real, but Bradley Beal got just about the same contract.

He's not as good at this anymore he isn't the guy breaking these stories usually anymore. Although his 4 tweet defense (and counting) of why he was wrong is interesting.

Not only is that incredibly reductive, his final list of teams was the wizards, hawks, and celtics so that wasn't even a consideration in the first place

I've considered Boston a mediocre team the past couple years even though they've made the playoffs just because it's a team that had such a low ceiling in the playoffs, but this elevates them a lot to me.

Like the Cavs are still your number one. Raptors are probably still your number 2. But I think this makes the Celtics the number three. I wouldn't call them contenders but they are in that position non-contenders want to be in of having a shot to go to the Finals if poo poo goes wrong with the contenders.

Mmmmm new bacon tracts.

Edit for content: This is great and probably positions them well to sign one more big name. Do they have enough cap space for another max?

If Gasol leaves the Bulls there's going to be a lot of unhappy fans looking like:

Where are the Bulls blockbuster deals?! We're really flirting with 1999-2001 Bulls purgatory. People must still be afraid of the Michael Jordan statue.

The stats look very pedestrian. Pau Gasol got maligned a lot and put up better numbers last year.

The Celtics can get near a max with some creativity but I think they're asking Durant to take a paycut unless Danny's willing to spend those assets on people taking salary from him.

From what I can tell they can only offer Durant the max if they renounce Zeller and Sullinger and waive or trade Amir Johnson and Jerebko.

Besides DeRozan I don't think they were linked to anyone who's signed (anyone at all?), nor is it especially surprising.
