    Now that Dwyane Wade has signed with the Chicago Bulls, maybe Hassan Whiteside is reconsidering the contract he agreed with Miami.

    What if he decides to pull a DeAndre and sign with the Mavs?

    This would mean the Mavs wouldn't be able to complete the trade for Bogut or sign Barnes to the max.

    Which would mean the Warriors don't have room to sign KD.
    That's such a crazy, surreal scenario of that happens.

    GSW would still figure out how to move guys around and sign KD either way though.

      I kinda think having D-Wade around will be a good thing for Jimmy.

        Maybe Chicago signed Wade figuring he'll sell some tickets, regardless of baseball fit.

          It stinks of Forman trying to save his job. He can point to attendance after the Bulls do not meet expectations for a second straight year.

                "Strong internal debate"

                My question is how long before Paxson punches Hoiberg and/or Forman? This front office is a trainwreck.

                  I'm banking on Rondo punching one of them first.

                    Why not dig up Sprewell while they're at it? I can already hear Forman's empty platitudes about how he fits what they look for in a player, he'll fit right in with Hoiberg's system, he'll give us quality minutes while we maintain flexibility for the summer of 2026.......

                    Remember, he justified the trade of Rose by getting "younger and more athletic" two weeks ago. Now we've added Rondo and Wade since then.

                      I like Wade in Chicago. But I don't like him with Butler.

                      I don't like anyone with Rondo.

                          But they are all starting together!! I can't wait for the aggregate 28.5% 3-PT percentage from that trio. Will really keep teams honest on the perimeter.

                          It's like the GM hasn't been watching any NBA basketball for the past decade. The teams that win are the teams that can really shoot it from deep and/or have LeBron James. This team fails on both accounts.

                            Bottom line is he bolted for $7 million more than the Heat.

                            Wade and Gabrielle may miss that warm Miami weather when they're spending the winters in Chicago.

                                Lakers will get two future 2nd-round picks from Chicago while giving up rights to an undetermined player (someone likely drafted long ago.)

                                If true that's not bad at all.

                                Needed a veteran guard who could shoot, needed to reach the salary cap floor, so took on an expiring 7.7 mil. mentor backup PG, and got 2 picks, yeah, not so bad when looking at the big picture.

                                Do the same thing tomorrow. And the next. Now do it forever.
