Ok, so let’s just… let’s try and make some sense out of all of the mess that’s gone on so far in NBA Free Agency.
- Kevin Durant has left Oklahoma City and signed with the Golden State Warriors, creating some sort of hellish multi-headed megabeast in the process.
- To account for Durant’s contract, the Warriors offloaded a mess of fringe players, including Aussie Andrew Bogut who is now a Dallas Maverick.
- Chicago‘s favourite son Derrick Rose left Illinois for the bright lights and big city of New York, becoming a Knick.
- Matthew Dellavedova is more than likely gonna land at the Milwaukee Bucks.
- Dwight Howard continues his “nobody wants to play with me” greatest hits tour, and will pull on an Atlanta Hawks jersey next season.
- Pau Gasol is a San Antonio Spur.
- Rajon Rondo is a Chicago Bull.
- But Joakim Noah isn’t anymore, following D-Rose to the Knicks.
- Jeremy Lin is a Brooklyn Net.
- And Tim Duncan looks set to finally stare that portrait of Dorian Grey in the eye and bring an end to one of the greatest NBA careers of all time.
Dwyane Wade has informed the Bulls he plans to sign a deal with them, sources tell @TheVertical. Bulls sending out contracts now.

Wade, who previously spent 13-years at the Heat in a career that netted him three NBA Championships, is likely to accept a two-year deal from the Bulls worth somewhere in the vicinity of $47.5million. The deal includes a player option for a third year, which no other team courting Wade offered. This, reportedly, was a big sticking point in the break down of the relationship between Wade and the Heat.
