The Vertical is reporting that Luol Deng has signed with the Lakers for 4 years and $72 million. Interesting fit, not sure I like it but I do think he's got a couple more very good years in him
Please keep all discussion in the discussion thread. For now we won't set a time limit but I'll put one if it's moving too slow, or I'll pick for someone if they haven't made their selection after a while, hopefully it won't come to that.
Try to post a picture of the player and if possible do a...
Now that we have the lottery draw behind us and we're starting to get more info/scouting on prospects and on what each team might do, we're getting started with the SI NBA Mock Draft. We'd like to get fans of each team to represent them in our mock draft, and will find guys for remaining teams...
Figured I'd introduce myself while I'm sitting at home sick while my friends are out celebrating the end of finals, some of you have probably seen me around a little already. I'm Stray, NBA mod by way of ADFS and recent Mizzou grad by way of Detroit. Will be a Detroit sports fan until I die...
Hey guys, new to SI (from ADFS) and haven't had a real sig in a while so anyone who wants to help me out I'll love you forever, and no rush.
Used to do these myself a little bit but no longer have the software. Would love to see what could be done with this amazing picture of SVG. Ideally take...
If you were an NBA GM with the #1 overall pick in this year's draft, who would you take?
Providing some DraftExpress info because I love their work, the Mike Schmitz video breakdowns (linked) are the best quick way to get a full idea of a prospect rather than going off reputation or a select...
Tough call after he dealt with so many injuries this year and still got them to the playoffs, but there had been rumors he was almost fired at midseason. Also hearing this makes Conley leaving that much more likely

He was going to leave last season but was persuaded to stay for one more. Also learned that he played this last year on cadaver tendons after blowing his out. What a warrior, what a...
He has two ways to try to gain eligibility. First, he could try to gain entry as a 19-year-old international player since he's Sudanese-Australian and plays in Canada. If that doesn't work (since he played two years of high school ball in the US) he could try to exploit a gray area in the "year...
I don't even know how there can be an argument at this point. Been watching the NBA twitter video of all 12 of his threes on loop and, my god, he's covered as well as possible for most of them too. His handles give him that much more of an edge over Ray, Reggie, etc and he can shoot from aaaanywhere
Doesn't really surprise me, but I wonder where he's gonna end up. Can't go back to the Warriors until July 27 and I doubt he waits that long (but it's definitely possible)
Pistons trade Brandon Jennings and Ersan Ilyasova for Tobias Harris. Jennings is expiring and Ersan has a team option for next season, so I think the Magic did this just to get rid of him and clear cap space, but for the Pistons this changes their plan significantly.
And as a big Pistons fan, I...
Hearing the Bucks have had conversations with a few teams (no real guess on how many) about Greg Monroe, apparently they're asking for a "decent" 1st round pick per Zach Lowe of ESPN
New Orleans is one of the teams that had a discussion about Monroe and imo that's a great fit since AD-Asik has...
The Grizzlies clearly aren't winning it all this year, and especially with Gasol out for the year my vote is yes. I know he's been amazing for them but I think it's time to move on
Multiple sources reporting that the Rockets are shopping Dwight Howard, and that Dwight wants a max extension from the team to whom he's traded. I've heard multiple reasons for why the split has occurred but sounds like Dwight and Harden can't stand each other anymore. Credit to Dwight though...
Should've thought of this last night but anyway damn was anyone watching that MSU-kU game? What a finish by the Spartans, the freshman center Deyonta Davis looks to be a force turning shots away and the freshman guard McQuaid looks to be another deadeye shooter with competitive fire which is...
I'm sure we'll still have threads for individual events but figured we needed a place to post/discuss rumors of signings/trades/hirings. I'll get us started.
Tigers had a great meeting with Soria and are almost certainly going to get one of him or Darren O'Day
Marco Estrada nearing a two-year...
