Bogut, no! Anywhere but the Cavs! Would be a good pick up for the Celtics or Wizards.
Yes to the Cavs! Helps them beat the warriors
Lol it’ll just be sad seeing him in a Cavs uniform. Wish that stupid rule wouldn’t exist so the warriors can just bring him back for fun.
The Warriors signed Anderson Varejao last year after he was waived. Turnabout is fair play.
And he single handedly lost them the championship lol /obvious slight sarcasm
That would have been so amazing
Matt Barnes to the Bulls. Maybe he’ll knock Some sense into Paxon
It’s nice to hear Kanter is practicing already. We really miss his scoring punch off the bench, no pun intended.
If you really want Barnes on your team. Just give him a call and tell him you saw D Fish and Barnes girl in your city and he’ll be there ASAP lol
