What a hot hot time for NBA

The big 3 of miami are now free agents, all of them

Lebron, Wade and Bosh.. Wonder what will be heat's future? It seems to fall apart.

Carmelo is also a free agent, and I am watching all of their moves.

As in for the new players from NBA draft

Andrew Wiggins, talented fella, yall should check out his stats.

Yeah, all these moves and rookies are making me excited for the next season. I also hope to see a different Finals matchup this year, Spurs & Heat is worn out.

As you guys know I am a Bulls fan, and getting Carmelo is one of my dreams for the team, but, I think this is going a bit too far, they look desperate. (Which they are, but they shouldn't look like it)

Nets hire lionel hollins as coach

#welcomecoach

Gasol might end up in Miami

Carmelo melo still flying around undecided. If you ask me two best options for him are Lakers and Bulls. He might do good in Lakers after Kobe retires (which will happend soon), because atm Kobe just won't let him play properly. As for Bulls, I am not sure how will D. Rose communicate with Carmelo who is also a player with a known name in the league.

Summer league in action, rookies showing off

Chance of Melo going for LAL is 0.00001%.. He's deciding between NYK, Bulls and Rockets, and NYK are most likely to resign him.
About James.. looks like he got 3 options: Cavs, Rockets and Suns..
Suns might blast off this year, since the owner decided to finally untie his moneybag.. They got a salary cap high enough for at least 3 top-notch players.

I also heard Jordan might split ways with clippers cuz he's asking even more money to be added on a already ridiculous contract. If he goes his replacement will be Spencer Hawes.
I also read somewhere that Luol Deng might go for LAC.

However I can't wait for new season to start.. Falling apart Miami, rising Rockets and Suns, stagnant Lakers.. It's going to be one of the most interesting seasons for sure

OMG I jizzed

Lebron James heading back to Cleveland Cavaliers!!!

Welcome home lebron.

Cavaliers fans weren't being so delusional after all.  

We got the things moving on in the league right after LeBron made his move.

-Lebron signed a 2 year contract with cavaliers
-Carmelo signed a 5 year contract with Knicks (Best decision for him to make seriously)
-Pau Gasol will move to Bulls
-Paul Pierce will move from Nets to Washington..
-Bosh will stay in heat, signed a 5 year contract

I'd jump on the wagon for this...

Boston signed EVAN TURNER!! OMG IM TRIPPIN WE GOT A CHAMPIONSHIP SQUAAD!!

Wtf Paul Pierce to Wizards, and they're also preparing the field to get Durant when he becomes a free agent next year. With the same John Wall, the same beast that played last season.. MR JOHN WALL.. and a good center they're going to be the new Miami Heat

The Wizards aren't getting Durant. I just can't buy it, he's staying in OKC if Russel and Ibaka are both healthy, it's just that simple. But the Wizards could be beast with that amazing backcourt and some cap space. Also, Gortat is a damn good center. It don't even matter, Spurs 3peat im feelin it.

My man paul george suffers serious injury. I can't watch this without feeling it myself :S



#paulgeorge, no doubt he is out for most of this season, pacers won't go far this time without lance and now george as well.

fast and easy recovery to paul

Stay strong #PG24

now that pg is injured, pacers gonna win it all and hibbert finals mvp.
#facts

That injury really is something hard to see, I've even read somewhere on how those basket cushions are much closer to the court in that arena than they should be.
And why are there reports so closer to the court, where in football they stand behind those barriers? I can't understand why the NBA doesn't change this.

Why can't there be a season where everyone is healthy and playing their best? Seriously, hoping my man DRose and other deserving guys stays doing their things, but yeah, he seems good so far. I don't even ask for championships anymore, just play and enjoy yourselves Bulls, go until you can't go anymore.
