Ruh-roh. Hope it's just drama stuff and nothing actually bad's happened to him. But this can't be good either way.

Through 1 quarter, Butler has 1 point, 2 assists and 2 rebounds in 12 minutes.

Bulls down 31-20 to the Thunder.

I think if I were a Thunder fan, I'd wake up every morning thinking - "We had Durant, Westbrook and Harden...."   I realize there is only one ball, but these are possibly 3 of the top 5 players in the league (I just viewed a power ranking that had them 3 of the top 4 in the league) -- all within one year of age of one another and all still young. Despite still having Westbrook, I would be shaking my head daily.

If Woj has no clue where Derrick Rose is.. then he's gone. Really hope it's nothing bad

I'm sure the Kings or Suns are doing the same with Isaiah Thomas lol now.

Kings let him go for nothing and Suns traded him for peanuts.

Not saying they would win a championship with IT but they definitely regret it.

It always shocked me they traded Harden but who knows what they were thinking. And can't blame OKC for Durant leaving, that was all his choice.

No one can even get in contact with him. This is kinda crazy...

I guess he was benched last game, so he might just be ghosting everyone for a day or two and pouting somewhere, but it's not a good sign regardless.

Start the Melo to Boston rumors! 😉

Makes you appreciate how stable and mature our team and overall environment is. That's just crazy that this legitimately might be him pouting about not playing a fourth quarter.

You'd think his agent or close associates would know that. Even they seem to be at a loss.

Knicks getting booed as they leave the court. Fair to say someone is on the hot seat in New York.

And call me crazy, but I'd still like Anthony here at the right price. He's pretty much an ideal fit at the small-ball 4 for us.

It should be Phil's for half-assing this rebuild. They sucked for one year, got Porzingis, and then went "all-in" with a flawed roster of declining players. Instead of just properly rebuilding around Porzingis, he decided to retool around an aging Melo.

I was thinking the same for a while now! Melo would be a great fit for us for this year and next year or two. He still has enough left in the tank.

He better not end up on the Cavs.

Please for the love of god don't start these Melo-to-Boston rumors.

Plays way too much iso-ball and is not the alpha we need.

In other news, the Pelicans winning is great for the Boogie Watch. I think they're probably the most reliable team to try and get that 8th spot in the West over the Kings with the Blazers so terrible this year.
