Didn't Rose have a good year?

So you give him a 3 year deal for $43M?

Another team with a rough night... The Chicago Bulls... Lonzo Ball 4/85? Alex Caruso 4/37?

Seems like a steal. 

[mochjas]

Seems like a steal. 

I agree Rose is stealing from the Knicks...

[CountValentine]

Alex Caruso 4/37?

They were looking at Rose.

They know LeBron's tank is getting to "E". Now or never.

Yes, 100%. Lakers should be favored to come out of the West now, are betting sites reflecting that?

Good for Melo working his way back and culminating in him finally getting what he’s always wanted. If they win a title this year it’ll probably be bigger for him than for anyone else on the team, no matter how limited his role is (assuming he gets at least some postseason playing time).

Also, cool stat:

Per Elias Sports Bureau, they have now added six players age 32 or older this offseason -- Anthony, Westbrook, Dwight Howard, Wayne Ellington, Trevor Ariza and Kent Bazemore -- the most in a single offseason in NBA history.

Well, apparently they were already the favorites.

Doesn't look like it or they are not impressed. Nets still favorites.

They’re not far behind and are at least favored to come out of the West. The Nets are obviously as big a juggernaut as we’ve seen since Golden State’s run so that’s impressive as it is (yes I know what happened this year).

Probably too injury prone to be clear favorites.

Rumor has it Lakers will instate a mandatory nap during halftime break.

Is there some type of government incentive for employing seniors?

You are still confused. 
My issue was paying that for an injured player.
Hopefully he will bring home the gold!!!

yes an injured player who you said would never recover.  Now you’re banking in him to bring you home a good medal tonight

...and then I am not sure he will last a full season. 
To be continued...
