NBA Draft & Off-Season News 2016

Orlando are shambles. How does Vucevic, Ibaka, Gordon and Biyombo work?

It doesn't  :-X

Reports are that Clipps have been told Durant won't be signing for them, which resulted them in using the cap for Austin Rivers and another FA..

Here's what Al Horford's dad (Who played in the league) said about Al leaving the Hawks:

“There wasn’t as much motivation for him when he saw all the empty seats when they were winning,” Tito Horford said. “He said to me, ‘Dad, when we were playing Boston, they were down 15 points and they were cheering their team like they were winning the game. They’re so into the game.’ This is special for us, especially for him.”

But it seems like money was the only think that kept him from staying.

So maybe us coming back vs the Heat in that final regular season game and booking a matchup with Atlanta has turned out to be a good thing! ;D

If you'd offered me a 5% chance of KD at the start of the year I would've been absolutely stoked!

Crabbe report has since been refuted and Tyler Johnson has been offered an offer sheet so Heat have the right to match

[Jay]

Dammit the Nets are doing well :(

[valkorum]

Apparently Kings have signed Matt Barnes for 2 years $12M.  2nd year is a player option.

[valkorum]

Something has to give at the Kings in the SF spot

Gay - $13.3M, $14.2M
Casspi - $2.9M
Butler - 1.5M
Barnes - $6M, $6M

Gay has been linked to Indiana a lot this trade period and he has always been in trade discussions.  His contract seems like the one that needs to go. 

Casspi is a steal at his price and his 3pt shooting has improved out of site.

Butler provides great depth and locker room presence... plus his contract is sweet.

I like Rondo at the Bulls, this could reignite his career as long as he's not a cockhead.

Gay at Indiana is insane, but how would they play PG13, Gay and Thad alongside each other??  PG13 would have to play SG, Gay SF and Thad PF.

Can't see KD leaving OKC now that I think about it.  Clips definitely out of the equation signing Wes and Jamal.  OKC still need another piece though I feel although they are genuine contenders with Oladipo added to the roster...they were before, but just fell short.

Is Ellis still at Indiana? Or is he the one being traded for Gay?
