Good deal and for a great team. Thanks for everything Mook!

Say what you want, but he was a good player for us these last two years and he was one of the only guys who consistently stepped up for us in the playoffs (even during that tough Bucks series). His grit and toughness were a breath of fresh air for this team at times.

gotta miss Morris

Is the Kemba/Rozier S&T finaled yet? I see no reference to it anywhere.

Four-time All-Star center DeMarcus Cousins agrees to a one-year deal with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Lol the Lakers didn't learn after last year that filling the locker room with a bunch of questionable characters is not the way to go. They now have the following questionable characters/big personalities in the same locker room:

Lebron
AD
Cousins
Rondo
Stephenson
McGee
Caldwell-Pope

I'm sure things will go as smoothly as they did last year, especially with adding Cousins lol Also better hope they have health than they traditionally have, because that's a pretty thin team

I can't imagine DeMarcus responding very well to brain-cramps like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKP2guVoYis

Per Shams,

The Milwaukee Bucks and Thanasis Antetokounmpo -- the older brother of the NBA MVP, Giannis -- have agreed to a two-year contract

One of the more important signings. Gotta keep Giannis happy.

Thanasis is of course nowhere near Giannis' level but he plays hard defense. He could be useful. His previous team Panathinaikos (Pitino's team last season) is pushing hard to sign Jimmer Freddett

BROOKLYN – The Brooklyn Nets have signed forward/center Nicolas Claxton, the 31st overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft, to a multi-year contract. Per team policy, terms of the deal were not released.

#31 signing with BKN, wonder if/when Carsen Edwards will sign?

The Milwaukee Bucks and Thanasis Antetokounmpo -- the older brother of the NBA MVP, Giannis -- have agreed to a two-year contract, league sources tell @TheAthleticNBA @Stadium.

Cheap enough way to keep Giannis happy.

Rockets interested in Tyson Chandler

Source: Tyson Chandler is likely target for Rockets in their search for backup big. Chandler, who turns 37 in October, was effective defender and rebounder as reserve for Lakers last year. He has a rep as a great locker room guy and strong relationship with CP3 from N.O. days.

Is the Kemba/Rozier S&T finaled yet? I see no reference to it anywhere.

Yes, the Celts pick up the lower of the NY/Brooklyn second rounders next year in the deal.

[Birdman]

I want Tyson Chandler!!

I'm going to hate watching Isaiah Roby on the Mavs all year. He was my draft pinkie and I think he'll be good in the NBA.
