Celts would have had 17 on the roster if they kept all their picks haha

Also, Bill Simmons landed a deal with HBO! Expecting heaps of great content from him now

Luc Mbah a Moute failed his medical - Kings have voided the contract.

Divac just said that he failed due to a shoulder issue.

We dont have roster space at the moment. We currently have 16 players signed so we still have to cut someone. From memory 2 contracts have expiry dates and then they become guaranteed.

Portland are bad but with Lillard I don't think they are that bad

True, that's one I'm struggling to place. Are they better than Minnesota? I'm not sure...

I reckon they are better than the lakers though. Timberwolves easy over both though.

Towns Lavine Garnett Wiggins Rubio is solid. Probably a playoff team in the east

Heat trade Z Dragon to Celtics

Even a healthy kobe cant do that much. Depends more on if Hibberd can be somewhat close to what he was a few years ago. Along with Russell and Randle.

News that Jayman will be happy to hear - Celtics did make a play to move up the draft order to get Justice Winslow

Just some NBL updates.

Jordan Mcrae and Scott Wilbekin could be playing for the 76'ers this year.
Perth Wildcats have signed former Florida Gators amd D-League player Casey Prathers, highlight reel looks decent although his numbers aren't incredible. I think the prerequisite at the Cats is to find a SF who can dunk, no other experience necessary, haha.
