Niners Fan in CT Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 I think a Horford/PG/Hayward/IT team would have beat the Cavs but probably not the Warriors unless a key player on GSW was injured. I don't mind not going after PG because he's going to L.A. anyway but it's the passing on Cousins and then Butler and then not signing Griffin.. there aren't many more available pieces out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 You guys realize that, essentially, the Thunder turned 2/3's of Serge Ibaka into Paul George. And how terrible does that trade look for Orlando now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Quote Free-agent guard Jrue Holiday has agreed to a five-year, $126 million deal to stay with the New Orleans Pelicans, his agent Jason Glushon told ESPN on Saturday morning. The deal includes incentive clauses that could push the contract's value to $150 million and contains a player option for the fifth year, Glushon said.

Granted it's one of the Govan sisters involved, but he didn't make it any better. Harden gets around and I don't think anyone in Houston wants Chris Paul breaking up a fight between Harden and Shumpert mid season because James tried to holla at Teyana Taylor. I wouldn't blame James, but hey.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 With Iggy locked up, and assuming KD signs at the expected rate, the Dubs are looking at a $40 million tax bill, and a combined payroll/luxury tax over $177. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brocklock Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Thibs is really trying to make me get league pass so I can not watch this garbage current Bulls team as Minnesota signs Taj Gibson to a 2y/28m deal. Two of my favorite Bulls in the last ten years with my favorite coach and Wiggins/KAT. I need league pass. Even though Deng is completely washed up, I wouldn't be surprised if he tries to trade for him since he talked about Deng as much as Jimmy during the press conference I watched. It makes no sense, since they already signed Teague but I wonder if he tries to go after Rose. I think Rose can still be useful in the NBA as a microwave bench player. He averaged his highest point total on his best field goal percentage since the ACL tear, but his defense is so atrocious that it's hard to play him heavy minutes anymore.

Jiji Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Well, Toronto is going all in. Signed Ibaka to a 3 year deal and will likely bring back Lowry. They'll likely need to move some contracts to avoid the luxury tax. Sounds like they've been attempting to move Valanciunas. Carroll would be one of the harder guys to move. I don't really get it. Best they can hope for is Lebron goes west and they're the weakly western representative in the finals that gets swept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudy Gay apparently came and went without making a deal, and they may not even make a big enough offer to keep freakin' Andre Roberson. Looking at their roster right now, while Westbrook and George are obviously great, there is a pretty massive drop off after Kanter and Adams. And I don't know who they can legit afford right now if they couldn't even fight to keep Taj. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Sounds like the Raptors overpaid Lowry by a lot (~$100m) to keep it at 3 years and not 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roberson and George on paper would be a terrifying defensive duo on the perimeter, and let them stick Russ on the least threatening perimeter player and save him for offense. Edit: I kinda get what Toronto is doing. This is the most successful (and likely most profitable) era in team history, and they are just gonna ride it out before they rebuild, since they don't really have a clear path forward this year even if they had let everybody walk.

Niners Fan in CT Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 I hope Ainge realizes that you know maybe Brooklyn won't be the worst anymore. Chicago, Indiana and Atlanta just folded. Not shocking, I said that this would happen. I expected Toronto to do the same but they've had a full building and still have a slight chance at the finals if say LeBron got hurt. If we thought the East was weak as fuck before... and I do love the young core that Philly has but people need to slow down a little bit. Embiid might be one of these big men who never stay healthy and Fultz/Simmons are rookies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
