    Blazers will not Practice tomorrow until after the Trade deadline.... I don't know about you but that sounds like a team that is preparing for some potential changes.

    Will Lebron have time to get here before the Golden State game?

    Did this change just now, or was that schedule decided long back?

    I have no idea who this Carlos Douglas is, but this offer is reported by a number of sources.

    The Kings are looking for a better offer, it seems. Or they're willing to stand pat.

    That seems like a lot for Gay and McLemore.

    Bulls bench hot garbage plus expiring plus a 1st.

    Sacto goes from Gay and McLemore to Mirotic and Snell. Seems like a significant downgrade.

    Chicago is desperate.

    Talk about a dysfunctional organization.

    They were so sure the team as constructed was a contender last season and with the new coach they'd do much better this.

    Now they're going to blow it up.

    Even Jimmy Butler has been rumored available. Only DRose isn't available for a trade, from what I've read.

    We aren't getting Rudy Gay if that's what is being offered for him.

    If Butler is available, you do everything you can (outside of Lillard) to get him here.

    What would they give us for Henderson?

    Is this a standard thing? Or was this a change in schedule?

    The Chicago Bulls are aggressively shopping All-Star forward Pau Gasol, league sources told The Vertical.

    Gasol, 35, can opt out of his contract this summer and become an unrestricted free agent, and Bulls general manager Gar Forman seems determined to move him before Thursday's trade deadline with the hope of bringing back value.

    Gasol is expected to decline the player option on the $7.4 million owed him in 2016-17.

    Gasol is averaging 17 points and 10.9 rebounds for the struggling Bulls.


    How much would a Pau rental cost, do you think?

    If I had to guess, Snell plus some sweetener.

    Snell has good handles so he'd be fine at SG. He's a solid defender. I think he was MVP of the summer league, but has been ineffective in the Bulls scheme of things. Better under Thibs, but this year he's been pretty bad.

    Gasol gets rebounds and blocked shots, but he's an utterly horrible defender.

    Still, the Bulls aren't going to give him away. My guess is that they'd want a young player (Plumlee) and a pick. At least.

    Why even bother though? Dude is 35 and would not resign here (and we might not even want him to due to that age).

    Well, he was expected to be one of those sleeper picks by the Bulls that turned out really well. The guy has 3pt shooting range and excellent effort on defense. He's got big wingspan, etc. The summer league MVP was at least a sign that he might actually pan out.

    Saying this for years
    Disagree from this perspective: You already are defensively-challenged at the 1 and 2. If you put a guy at the 3 that struggles with defense, opposing teams are just going to kill you on the perimeter. Aminu's value is accentuated by the role he plays and how it fits into the whole scheme of things.
