seanz25 Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 (edited) Hope the C's stay away from Dwight unless it's a 1 year deal and we're not getting Horford/Durant. I kinda hope they do sign him, purely to stick it to Bill Simmons after he ripped the Knicks this week! Shouldn't be bitter about Bill preaching the truth Art! Watching Sports Centre for the past few hours on and off, I really love this KD deal, it's so intriguing. To a point there's a few teams each with there own pros and cons for him to sign that really could potentially throw a spanner. Edited July 1, 2016 by seanz25 Quote

Really Big Shoe Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 (edited) Mozgov getting paid, surprised the Lakers signed him to such a big deal. Would have made more sense for them to offer big money to say a KD. With Ingram, Clarkson, Swaggy P and if they got a good centre in I think that's a starting unit and one which can grow into a solid team overtime. But if Durant wants a ring I think the ideal place for him to go is the GSW. I think some more big moves will happen before the season begins. The KD to the Wizards story I mean they don't have a bad team, they have John Wall but I think it's a stretch too far for Durant and he'd be leaving a Western conference final team for one which is Playoff quality but I don't think they have the players and the experience to get through to the latter rounds of the Playoffs. One move which could work is Durant to the Clippers or to the Heat if Bosh leaves. But depends upon how they manage to move players around to fit in with the new salary cap.

Art Vandelay Posted July 1, 2016 Author Posted July 1, 2016 Do we think Bosh will be back? I'm guessing they are waiting for further medical opinions? It's all been strangely quiet and it's odd since he's tying up so much of their cap at the moment. Regarding the Lakers...I think it's telling that they are not big players anymore...at the moment, anyway. I don't think it's an attractive destination anymore. It's going to be a process for them. They'll be better this year, so hopefully they can make some good moves next off-season. Quote

Think the stuff you spoke about LA is telling, the clippers are tempting KD with being "the man in LA" now Kobes done and Lakers aren't signing big names. Although there was some glimpses of the Lakers showing some nice early development signs throughout this season, no matter how small they may be. Quote
Really Big Shoe Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 The Heat have apparently been touting CB4 as being close to fit and are using his progress to help attract free agency players and they have hopes he will be back for next season. How much of that is spin I don't know but well see. LA Lakers aren't the team they were that's a given but historically they have been great as have been the Celtics. There no Red Auderbach or Phil Jackson on the horizon who can lead them to a new era of greatness but I think if they give him time Luke Walton could and will be a successful coach. Lakers goal now should be to make the playoffs and regardless if they make 8th seed that's still a huge leap in progress. I think the Lakers could have thrown but money at K Love as I think he would be suited to the three point line based offense plus he's from Cali. But I'm guessing they are going with Tim at Centre and bringing in Ingram to work with the other young players. Maybe they aren't the draw they once were but the whole recruiting of free agents and such should be based on making the Lakers great again. I'd imagine if they had Phil on board or Pat as their GM they'd be able to recruit better higher echelon level players. I'm sure when Bron went to Miami Pat Riley sold him on the team and about building a dynasty. I'd imagine Phil's trying to do that with the Knicks. Quote

Art Vandelay Posted July 1, 2016 Author Posted July 1, 2016 Apparently Whiteside has said that he'll take less money than the agreed-upon deal he got this morning IF Durant decides to sign there. I still don't see it happening, but it's interesting to say the least. Quote
Art Vandelay Posted July 1, 2016 Author Posted July 1, 2016 Holy shit, Chandler Parsons to the Grizzlies - 4 years, $94.8 mil! That's crazy, I was sure he was off to Portland after all the news today. Quote
Art Vandelay Posted July 1, 2016 Author Posted July 1, 2016 More news! Even Turner inks 4 year, $75M deal with the Blazers Even Fournier gets 5 year, $85M deal from the Magic On that Parsons contract. That's a bad one for Memphis I think. How much of the year will he spend in a suit? Quote
seanz25 Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 Fuck, I actually had a soft spot for Tuner. He pulled a few games for us at times and even one of our short lived playoff games. That's a lot of money though. Quote
Art Vandelay Posted July 1, 2016 Author Posted July 1, 2016 The Milwaukee Bucks and Matthew Dellavedova have agreed upon on a four-year, $38 million contract. He's a restricted FA, but LeBron has already tweeted a congrats to him, so it doesn't look like the Cavs will be matching the offer. Quote
seanz25 Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 Isaiah Thomas has followed Al Horford on Twitter... He's either coming to Boston or ITs doing a troll job... Quote
