Bulls will waive Noah Vonleh.

I remember wanting him to fall to the Suns in the 2014 NBA Draft where he was drafted number 9. He has not produced as expected.

Giannis signed a Max extension today. Wow. Was totally wrong on him bolting. Good for the Bucks and the league... but I think he's gonna get LeBron James'd ala his first go round with Cleveland with a franchise that never puts a second superstar next to him to help him win a title.

I'm really pleased but I don't think the Bucks did enough to keep him.

Giannis is now locked in for six years with the five year extension.

Middleton is a huge roadblock, not good enough to get them over the top with that contract.

 

[Mainstreet]

I really like what I know about this young man.

Means nothing in today’s NBA. Guys have years left on there contracts and still demand trades

 

[1Sun]

With Giannis staying in Milwaukee, be prepared to say goodbye to Booker (and to see him in a Lakers uniform) in a year or two, especially if the team continues to look like it has lately...

Middleton is a huge roadblock, not good enough to get them over the top with that contract.

With Giannis staying with the Bucks, they will be able to add another star now that they aren't crunched for time. Middleton is a good player if they decide to trade him. There are worse contracts out there. They will be able to figure it out.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Giannis Antetokounmpo contract reportedly has a 15% trade kicker.

Usually means at least a couple years of that contract are fulfilled.

 

[GatorAZ]

Well I was dead wrong. Good for Milwaukee and overpaying for Holiday looks pretty smart now.

That can’t be real

 

[Mainstreet]

The news seems encouraging about Keyontae Johnson.

The United States Supreme Court will take up player compensation in college. This could impact players coming to the NBA.

Man we had the bidwills and the awful comedy of errors of coyotes ownership. What did Arizona ever do to earn the sports trifecta of awful ownership across three major sports?

Jerry Colangelo bought a championship for the Diamondbacks and then abandoned the city entirely in terms of sports...
