We've got the Inside Stuff!

Raps inquiring about Noel. Apparently he wouldnt fit into Torontos "system" but man I'd love to get him.

Their reported offer seemed to me to be extremely weak... Personally I'd rather see Okafor move

I don't know if it has legs yet, but a couple sites have said the Sixers and Bulls are negotiating a possible Jimmy Butler for Jahlil Okafor swap

[shel311]

Durant to stay with OKC, and rumors of Horford meeting with OKC.

Not too shabby top 5 possibility:

Westbrook/Oladipo/Durant/Horford/Adams

no shot the Bulls ever do that straight up

Yeah I'd imagine it would involve picks or other young players as well. Haven't read too many other deals remotely enticing for either Noel or Okafor yet

DD 5/140ish

good lord the money but good for him. based on what ppl like Mozgov are getting, I can live with DD at around 28.

Hassan staying with the Heat.

Didn't see that coming.

If it's for the max, Miami messed up.

Agreed as I would think that wouldnt have been a smart idea but I trust Pat Riley unless it was outside of his decision.

[shel311]

Lakers signed Mozgov last night/this morning, which prompted this tweet:

Imagine if you will that NBA free agency was Black Friday, what the Lakers did just a few hours ago was camp out until midnight at the front of the line and when the doors opened, made a beeline for electronics and came away with a USB wall charger when everyone else was scrambling for the game consoles, HDTVs, and PCs.

Derozan's contract for 5/139 is the 2nd biggest ever. Lebron's career earnings through 13 seasons is $149m.

Still can't wrap my head around these 2 season's worth of cap increases coming.

Silly money this year and going forward

[LetsGoPeay]

4 years $38 million for Delly.

4 years $48 million for Solomon Hill.

Hilarious.

Mozgov is making more than Cousins.

4 years ago, no team wanted Whiteside. Whiteside will make more in the next 4 seasons than MJ did in his career.

Twitter is on fire with these, and I can't seem to get tired of any of them.

I understand what you are saying, that the money is crazy, but it is sort of relative.
I know guys that were good in the NFL that played in the late 70's, early to even mid 80's that made $80k to $160k per year.

In 2016, the minimum yearly salary is $450k, not to mention guys that are making league highs of $20+ million.
