    Good for Raptors to have him back well rested. They will be much better set for the playoffs this season with Ibaka and Tucker.

    I like them a lot too. It's a shame Parker got injured in the same game Middleton came back, I really wish we got to see them line up with Parker, Giannis and Middleton all at the same time for an extended period. This could have got them into playoffs and even made them a threat there. If they draft well this season and get a good playmaker they will be good next season. Maker is a nice talent too and they hit lottery with Brogdon. They basically only need playmaker because all remaining 4 spots they have talented players in. They won't get high enough to get Fultz or Ball unless they have amazing luck in lottery but some of Fox, Smith and Ntikilina could well fall to them.

    They are just a few pieces away from being scary good....I think they have enough youth....like to see them fortify the bench with a couple vets...Thon Maker is great...Giannis is going to be a bona fide superstar and Brogdon is super talented....all in all I'm impressed with Jason Kidd's progress as a coach..Parker and Middleton are franchise players...

    If this doesn't get at least 1000 likes, I'll be severely disappointed in my fellow forum members.

    Any waiver wire predictions as to where Bogut, Brandon Jennings and Jose Calderon end up signing?

    Deron Williams has officially signed with the Cavs, as expected.

    UTA wants PG depth, so I could see them going for one of Jennings or Calderon.

    I think there is also a chance Calderon ends up in TOR. Lowry is out for the regular season, and while Cory Joseph is one of the best back up PGs in the league, with Lowry out, they lack dpeth at that spot and it's where Calderon had the best years of his career.

    I'm sure the Cavs would love to have Bogut, as would BOS. It will be interesting to see where he goes.

    I heard someone say Bogut has committed to CLE but it is just a matter of time (I don't think he has officially be waived yet - I could be wrong on that though).

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Yeah, I read that it was expected as soon as Calderon and the Lakers worked out a buy-out. The Warriors dumped D-League legend Briante Weber to make room.

    I'd think the Spurs, Heat and Hornets would sign some of these guys...Bogut would fit on the Hornets really well or the Spurs

    Bogut was officially waived by PHI this afternoon. He has to clear waivers and then he becomes a free agent and can sign anywhere he likes.

    Andrew Bogus to the Cavs, Jennings to the Pelicans, Eurotrash to canada.
    Prolly won't happen but predictions so.
