It turns out that post-All Star break Josh Giddey is just the real Josh Giddey. If he carries on averaging 23/10/9 he’s going to be an All Star himself.

What a win-win trade this turned out to be. Caruso played a key role in getting OKC a title. Bulls now 20-5 in their last 25 with Giddey running the show.

The man might have been a Jet but he was a great player, an absolutely rock solid center you could set your watch by. A sad loss for anyone who watches AFC East football.

Nice to see the Steelers running the same defense on Hunter Henry as they used to on Rob Gronkowski

Immanuel Quickley got $32.5m per year, RJ Barrett got $27.7m. Giddey’s ceiling is higher than either of them. This is a good deal. It can still go sideways if he doesn’t continue to develop but if you believe in post-All Star break Giddey’s 20/10/9, this can look very cheap very soon
NEWS: Josh Giddey and the Bulls have agreed to a four-year, $100 million contract, a source tells The Athletic's @jxlorenzi.bsky.social & @samamick.bsky.social.

The deal comes after a prolonged standoff between the team and the restricted free agent forward.

ICN in Korea. Convenient, fast rail link to downtown Seoul. Great food options. Bath house in the basement where you can sleep and shower for $5, great when you have a layover long enough to be tiring but short enough to not want to pay for a hotel.
Actually, you know what? Let’s stop complaining for a second. QT this with a GOOD airport. Defend that title as much or as little as you like. But let’s hear about airports that don’t suck.

RIP Terence Stamp. For my generation it’s his brilliant performance in The Limey that we remember best. Just tremendous in its intensity.

Trading in your car at a dealership was always paying for convenience and we understood that. These days they just take the piss though - offering £3,000 less than the Motorway price? I might pay for convenience but not to the tune of three grand.

Glad to see the Bulls get this deal done. $8m p/a is a great price for a high quality backup PG who played some really good ball last season. Means we can still push the pace and generate transition buckets when Giddey is off the floor. And that’s a very tradeable contract if needed
The Chicago Bulls will re-sign Tre Jones with his Bird rights to three years, $24 million.

They project to be $39 million below the luxury tax line.

Plenty of room to re-sign Josh Giddey, and use either the $14.1 million mid-level or their $17.2 million trade exception.
