Yeah the Bucks just need to cut some dead weight and they'll be alright.

Teague/Mayo backcourt is pretty affordable and promising, Sanders/Ilyasova/Henson are also a great frontcourt.

I don't know about Ersan I'd rather the Bucks trade him for picks and start Henson this year. Can't wait to see Giannis.

Totally forgot about Giannis, I'm excited to see what he can do. He's definitely raw but with a developed skillset could be a great two-way player.

What is Detroit doing? These roster moves make no sense.

Tbh I like the Billups move. Brings some leadership and experience into the locker room.

I'm talking about signing Josh Smith, just because you have money and cap space that doesn't mean you have to blow it on guys like that.

Definitely. I think Smith is a good player but I don't like the fit on that Detroit team. Idk what makes them think they can have a 3/4/5 none of whom can shoot the basketball from outside the paint. Talk about a lack of spacing.

Hard to find a guy who's an elite rim scorer (77%) and still takes 5 midrange shots per game.

Pistons roster looks messy. I like Drummond, I like Monroe...everything else...messy.

[ralaw]

Maybe Billups will eventually do a Jason Kidd and be the next Pistons coach? Mo Cheeks should be able to last longer than two years though....IDK. Maybe this is just Dumars looking out for Billups.

Nets sign Andrei Kirilenko.



But unfortunately, can't get Bojan Bogdanovic to come over.

AK47 opted out of 10 million this season to sign a 1 year, 3 million dollar deal with Brooklyn. Either he was really unhappy in Minny or Prokhorov pulling that mafia shit.

Nick Young and Kobe on the same team? The ball will never leave the SG position

[Juggernaut]

Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov, like Kirilenko, a Russian native, did speak with Kirilenko during the courtship. But the chance to win was just as big a factor as nationalistic pride.
"At this point of his career, he's fortunate to have made a lot of money," said Kirilenko's agent, Marc Fleischer. "And while money is important, I think they convinced him that signing with a team that had a chance to win -- and that had Russian ownership -- was too good to pass up."

Wonder what else AK47 gets out of this deal.
