Most disappointing news I've had since the election.

Maybe wait with judging someone from an out of context one-liner

You're one to talk. You are in no position to lecture anyone.

Hopefully your article is true.

Golden State Warriors have signed Matt Barnes and he will be in uniform tonight against Chicago Bulls.

Former Suns draft pick Bogdan Bogdanovic signs with Fenerbahce for the 17-18 season.

I'm not so keen on draft and stash at least when it comes to the Suns. However, they made use of the selection to acquire draft rights for Chriss.

Corrected tweet: Sixers' Dario Saric named East rookie of the month (17 points, eight rebounds, three assists per game). Is he now ROY?

Waiver claim on Jose Calderon for Atlanta is $247,991. Golden State is now off the hook with the Hawks responsible for the contract.

 

[Hoop Head]

The NBA is open to ideas about fixing the annual buyout market that pops up after the trade deadline at the end of February. I hope something gets done to fix things regarding the annual buyout of vets at the end of February. I like the idea of moving the date before the trade deadline because nowadays players like Deron Williams and Andrew Bogut weren't getting traded because teams knew they'd be bought out and available for cheap after the trade deadline. The way the buyout system works now just gives the contenders that much more and widens the gap between the haves and have nots. A little over a decade ago this wasn't really heard of. Players stuck out their contracts, bad team or not.

However, it ends the same.

How in the world did the Nets beat the Grizzlies on the road.

Just looked at the stats from that one, Sean Kilpatrick with one of the more bizarre lines I've ever seen: 3-5 fg, 16-17 ft, 23 points. Umm... so... he basically got fouled every time he looked at the hoop? I gotta wonder if that is the fewest field goal attempts in a game where a guy scored over 20.
