Usually someone like him hires a fund manager but it's wiser if he's the one and his wife manages it. I don't know the background of Deng. But his investing skills is good. There were a lot of them including Kobe.

AFAIK, he's already good and Reebok saved him just this year.

Mavericks' J.J. Barea: Back with Mavs.


He did contribute very well during his stint with Mavs, and since he is back, I'm sure he can come out from the bench and could spark some rally specially if he still have that magic touch in 3's (which I think he does at his age).

I think that is J.J. Barea's home the Mavericks, he enjoyed his best season with the team and if I'm not mistaken he was part of the team when they won the championship back in 2010-2011 so it's just a going back home party for him.

And yes, he could come from the bench if needed and there will be no chemistry issue, he just need to familiarised with new plays and rotation.

Here's the preseason scheduled of the NBA.

That's only two weeks from now, the preseason seems to be a regular season to me since I can't wait to see the NBA to come back.

Kings sign free agent Hassan Whiteside

They might have declined to match the offer for Bogdanovic but they got a big man now.
Fox, Hield, and Whiteside.
They need more firepower now that they have a rebounder on the inside.
I think this will build a lot of confidence with the outside shooters.
Just having the thought of someone trying to take the offensive rebound will make them shoot more.
Defense? Not a problem for Whiteside too, which averages 2.9 blocks.

Honestly there were too many trades, few draft picks that were good but I doubt it would be big deal, and it was also free agency craze as well, I have seen all of them, I have checked famous places with lists of all the trades and free agencies and all that, yet I keep forgetting some stuff. Biggest news this year is that Lakers are getting deeper and deeper.

Right now, they have point guards of schroeder and caruso, shooting guard of KCP and JR, SF of lefreackingbron james, and kuzma, PF of AD and Morris, and Center of gasol and harrel. That is literally 10 person deep roster. I am sure schroder/kcp/caruso trio will exchange places all game with anyone else taking very limited minutes, and lbj/kuzma/ad will switch places a lot with Morris playing not too much. However this is really too deep to even joke about, they can play 10 players, 24 minutes each and they wouldn't be still a good team with bench getting minutes.

These players really know how to handle money since some of them started from nothing. They know on how to properly utilize their money so they would not worry about the things of tomorrow which is not normal for some players since that really needs discipline. Having a business while playing basketball would be really helpful once you retire.

Yeah. Damn, they can all be rested well even in a game.  
Clippers are trying to rebuild too and I guess they will try to match this Lakers team.
But, I doubt that.
Lebron and AD combination is like the Great Wall and then they strengthen it with the addition of Harrell.
It will be difficult to break through that kind of offense and defense.
I said that. Lebron can do "D" if he will concentrate. We all saw how he shut down Murray even when he's on fire.
And now they added firepower. Ergh, even the Nets will have a hard time defeating them.

This is true, before Durant is stoppable but if they will ever meet the Lakers in the finals, they don't have to double Durant as Lebron will take care of the business and Lakers also has a lot of good guards that could slow down Kyrie Irving.
