The floor spacing for the Bulls' backcourt is going to be dreadful. This news truly shocks me. I thought Wade was going to be a Heat lifer.

If whiteside hasn't signed yet, he might pull a Deandre Jordan no? Is there a fear of that in Miami?

Does Whiteside even care who his teammates are? Seems like he is most concerned with the paycheck.

It doesn't fit. At all. And your 26 year old all star gets marginalized so two 30 year olds can dominate the ball.

Right. The Rondo signing continues to baffle me. I don't blame you for being a Bulls comments section crusader.

Right. I misunderstood you. I thought you meant his agent should be telling him he's not good enough to get paid anymore and to just live with it.

In other news, I really like what the Jazz are putting together. They sort of fell apart at the end of last season, but they right in thick of it all year without a point guard. George Hill and the return of Exum will certainly help.

Why the hell would Joe Johnson sign there? That seemed weird to me. Exum isn't going to be the same after tearing am ACL.

The Heat should match Tyler Johnson's offer sheet just to piss off Wade.

Totally agree. NBA players tend to become different players post-ACL tears.

Derrick Rose regressed to Nate Robinson....Nate Robinson regressed out of the league, ect. No guard seems to come back right from an ACL operation. There is no Adrian Peterson example to point to that I am aware of. Jamal Crawford launching pull ups doesn't count.

Exum's tear happened early enough in his career where he can adapt his game to it. Guys struggle to adjust their games afterwards if it happens later.

A large man and yes, you should. He is surprisingly useful in a backup role.
