If you can get that deal, I'll be impressed. Jerry Zgoda reported on his blog yesterday that Flip Saunders has asked the Bulls for Taj Gibson, Jimmy Butler, the rights to Nikola Mirotic, and Doug McDermott. Where these players wind up (especially if Chicago is the destination for one of them) could also have a big effect on the Love situation, as the Bulls seem like a natural trade partner. Pau Gasol was deciding between the Spurs and Bulls as of this writing, and no word from Carmelo Anthony. There was momentary thought that this might open the way for Bledsoe or Dragic to wind up in Minnesota, but word has it that the Suns are planning to keep all three guards. Whether they mean it or are just posturing remains to be seen.Įlsewhere, Isaiah Thomas signed with the Phoenix Suns for 4/27, which seems like a good deal for the Suns, though if they also keep Eric Bledsoe (currently an RFA), that will be a talented but pricey and small back court along with Goran Dragic. The Cavs, as of last night, were insisting they would not trade Andrew Wiggins in a Love deal, which makes a deal all but impossible. They.aren't going to be very good, having spent their cap space on mediocrities. The Lakers were also very active, re-signing Nick Young (4/$21 blech), acquiring Lin, and also re-signing Jordan hill (2/$18, 2nd year team option). Unfortunately, Parsons is no longer eligible for a sign and trade, meaning the Rockets would have a hard time putting together an appealing offer for Kevin Love. They also now have two days to decide whether to match the Mavericks' offer sheet to Chandler Parsons. They dumped Jeremy Lin to the Lakers earlier in the day to prepare to pay Bosh, but it never happened. Not a place I would want to be.īosh returning to Miami is a blow for the Rockets, who were looking to add him to their roster. Miami will be paying for his decline, and as they appear likely to re-sign Dwyane Wade, they will be paying for his as well. That announcement sparked several other moves, headlined by Chris Bosh agreeing to return to the Miami Heat for a 5 year contract worth roughly $118M.īosh remains a terrific player, but is also over 30 years old. Yesterday was a monster day in NBA free agency, as LeBron James announced he was returning to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
