It's for Jae Crowder and the Nets pick, no doubt!

League sources say the team made it known weeks ago through backchannels that shooting guard Jimmy Butler is available for the right price.

League sources say the Bulls have been uncertain about building around Butler even after signing him to a 5 year, $95 million extension.

Hawks should definitely try and see what they can move Joe Johnson for. I bet that contract's untradeable though so it's probably not even worth talking about.

It is clear Millsap is going to leave the team so why wouldn't they trade a 35 year old white dude too.

Really interested to see what they get when they trade Millsap though. Probably not a great FA signing but would be awesome to have for this year.

For fucks sake, no one on this team can dominate other than Lowry and Derozan because the whole offense is 'feed them'. I mean it mostly works, but it doesn't work as well come playoffs and Casey is just not interested in getting role players going. You know how to other teams have random guys that go off for twenty points sometimes? That pretty much doesn't happen with the Raptors because there's no plan B if the Lowry and Derozan show isn't working.

People talk about the measure of a good coach being getting good performances out of your role players. Popovich is great at it. Carlisle is great at it. Casey isn't interested in it. For fucks sake.

everything you are saying is correct, although sometimes Ross goes off. That has nothing to do with Casey though.

Either way I try not to go full gently caress-Casey till at least February/March. It's just too much to stress about the Raps while their good AND when they look like poo poo in round one

The Bulls have a borderline top-10 player in his prime and jack poo poo else; they need to retool as quickly as possible because they're going to have to burn it all down in three years if they don't

The importance of this mission cannot be overemphasized
I don't really watch the Hawks much but see that they are 19-16 and in the fifth seed, yet from the general vibe around them this year I'd have guessed they were below .500 and a fringe playoff team. Why blow it up this year when you didn't last year in basically the same position, when you could've gotten something for Horford rather than letting him walk and more for Millsap than you will now?

It just comes across as a front office that hasn't had a clear plan since the 4-0 utter beatdown by the Cavs in the 2015 playoffs. They just ran it back last season and got exactly the same result and now are panicking, presumably because Howard didn't magically turn back into Orlando MVP level Howard.

Hey remember when Mo Williams called LeBron a bitch, then posted a photo on instagram with a caption of something along the lines of "no one and I mean NO ONE care about my injury but me", then decided to retire the day training camp opened, then elected to have knee surgery without filing retirement papers or negotiating a buyout with the Cavs, forcing them to keep him on their roster and pay him?
