All the talk about his fit with San Antonio is all well and good but if they can't afford him then it's kind of a moot point Holz.

Also, it's Hayward - HayWARD!!!! :P

I have their salary cap at $75,443,190

so im pretty sure they could have done a sign and trade.

the cap is 99/119

Paul is Making
$24,268,959

So in total thats under $100 million

so that gives them $19 million to resign Patrick Mills, Jonathon Simmons

they can dump Pau Manu, perhaps trade parker.

im not sure if they had the assets thats the bigger question. Perhaps this is why they traded to move on LA for a top 10 pick to send it to LA.

upon reflection it would have been tough. This probably came a year too early. next year they get parker off their books only have LA Leonard Green Anderson Murray

Happy with this. He was good, durable and played a role on a winning team. Was worried that Saric was going to win it.

Because he was so much better than Embiid and Saric ::)

If people are going to complain that JoJo who was the best rookie by a mile didn't play enough it had to go to Dario. I've won as many rookie of the month awards as Brogdan. And the whole 'he was on a winning team argument is BS'. It's rookie of the year not MVP. Brogdan would have made no difference to the Bucks success, that is all Giannis.

Shocking move by the Rockets

Agreed. First off they could have got him as a FA. 2nd of all, he and Harden are playing the exact same position. Harden can go back to SG but he has always been the main ball handler, even at that position.

On the houston could have got him in FA.

I think paul instigated the sign and trafe. Didnt he notify LA.

Also for cap reasons isnt it better to trade for paul rather then sign him.

They might land another guy

Griffin re-signed with the Clipperd for 5 years.

Mat0369 · July 01, 2017, 12:55:55 PM

And George has been traded for Sabonis and VO. Even if it's a 1 year rental that's a great trade for the Thunder. No word of picks yet.

Looks like Teague is on his way to Mine... Teague, Butler, Wiggins, Towns, Dieng is a mad lineup.

Jay · July 01, 2017, 03:59:05 PM

So Indy didn't want Bradley or Crowder but wanted Oladipo on $21 million and Sabonis w/ no picks. Get the flower out of here.

Jay · July 01, 2017, 04:20:27 PM

Clippers got a better return for CP3 WHO WAS A FLOWERING FREE AGENT than the Bulls or Pacers did for Butler/George. I need to lie down.

Especially considering Oladipo is owed $21m next season where as PG13 is only gonna get $19m

6'ers signed Reddick and Johnson to 1 year deals. A lot of money but they have a ton of space and it has no long term cap effects.

Kings just offered Otto Porter 4 year max. Otto hasn't signed the offer sheet yet (he is a RFA)

I dont mind this, he is only 24 and would fit in with the re-build.

Sacramento Leverages at it again!

Before Otto arrived at Kings for a meeting, the Wizards said they would match any offer. Let's see if they can back up the talk.

Kings also meeting with Vince flowering Carter. I already have a nickname for him - KingCarter

ha, ha! valk! :D

sorry I've been away, busy at work and going to head off on LSL soon (i'm an old man, my 2nd lot :P) ...

so what have I missed? everyone happy with their teams draft/FA signings so far?

i'm ok with Phoenix since we got the rookie we wanted at #4 and McDonough apparently even pulled a 'swifty' on Ainge to sway them to Tatum over Jackson just in case ... :P

so my "it's a conspiracy!" mood from the NBA draft lottery has been appeased but won't go away until they televise the ball-drop ...

CP3 to Houston - how many more years does he have on his deal??
