Danny Green n Roger Mason interested in joining the Jazz. I really like Green, Mason not so much.
The only thing I'd be worried about is that you're hoping he's gonna play until he's 41 without the help of the Lazarus Pit in Phoenix.

Fuck these teams and their stupid GMs jacking up the prices of FAs

Wolves have league worst wing production...You want Budinger to play 48 minutes?
Signing batum does not keep us from grabbing a SG and Rid can play spot minutes there if he's not traded

B-Roy deserves better that's all.
Can't get a star? Pay a second tier player like he is one and then be shocked that you aren't deep in the playoffs.
Welcome back.
Free agency kicked off at midnight. GMs making the exact same decisions that got the league locked out just last year. Hilarity ensuing.
Well, last year we signed Alex Mckechnie, formerly with the Lakers, to be our head of sports science/fitness (that sort of thing) and he's worked closely with Nash in the past. So I'm not that worried there.

Hibbert-4 years, $58 million offer from Blazers
Asik-$8 million a year offer from Rockets
Nash-3 years, $36 million probable offer from Raptors
Wallace-4 years, $40 million from Nets
Gordon-Looking for 4 years, $58 million
Batum-4 year, $50 million offer from Timberwolves

if you see me in a fight with a bear, don't help me fool, help the bear!
I wouldn't have traded for Budinger in the first place...
Also having him, Williams, and Webster is already logjam at 3 adding Bat doesn't really help a lot... They should invest in a SG at all cost then sign a piece like Bat.. Over paying Bat isn't the way to get better

Williams isn't a three though and Webster sucks and will be cut soon.
Holy fuck....Gordon only one that semi-deserves that.

Williams played a lot of 3 for them because he needs the mins and so does Love..
Batum likely won't help a ton. He can shoot 3's but i would have him more at the SF. At his best, he's slashing his way to the basket or posting up a bit.
Rarely is he taking jump shots at all, when he does it's fade away clunkers. Maybe Rubio is enough of a threat to make him a 3pt specialist but i don't think Batum would be great for you guys.

All aboard! The Love train!
Well, Williams didn't play much 3 last year, but he will this season, if he isn't traded. He's been training to become a 3.
I agree with your premise, though: the Wolves need a 2. More than anything. Malcolm Lee is the only one on the roster and we can't go into camp like that.

That's what makes it hilarious. First he trades a lottery pick for an average player. Then he gives him a four year deal that pays him well over his value at this point.......
Billy King = incompetent GM.......

Yeah i saw that hahahah. Batum really will need to step up this year if we pay him. He's inconsistent and can be soft around the basket occasionally.
But hahaha hell no you ain't getting CP money
Many Bulls fans want him resigned even at that price.
Our fanbase is full of idiots, man!

He played some mins at 3 last season, didn't he? But they have plans for him there this season..
They need to sign maybe two SGs....
Hibbert deserves the money. Pacers lose him and they will struggle to make the playoffs.

This where I would say I am glad we aren't doing anything but deep down I know Spencer Hawes for 10 mil a year is right around the corner...

And he's the 4th best player on a team that was easily bounced in the second-round by an injured team.
someone made you a beal avatar
Who what when quote it.
Also, I told you people that Harden and Ibaka would command max deals on the open market.
Not saying it's justified, but look at the money getting thrown around.
I've also come to the realization that we won't be able to keep Ibaka unless we amnesty Perkins, and we still maybe won't if we do.

NBA Cares, indeed.
Just giving away money.

4th best player? He's the Pacer's best player.

Harden would be overpaid. Ibaka would not. OKC will get both of them to stay.

I forgot how awesome it was when the Jazz made these guys play dressed as beer cans.
I don't know why people are still surprised about players getting "overpaid" in the Free Agency. It's been like this for a while. Truth is, most teams have to overpay if they aren't a contender or marquee market. If every player is getting overpaid in the Free Agency, it's not really overpaying.
psyche lol

unless you are averaging almost a triple double I don't think you can be the best play with 12 ppg
You think if the Celtics signed him he would have been coming off the bench LOL

If he doesn't we just build a pedestal out front of the ACC and make him stand on it before games until midway through the 1st quarter.
Then we can move it inside to bring out for halftime.

Still on his rookie deal. So I expect 4/32. Which is a pretty standard raise.
Nobody is gonna give the deal $10m a season, if thats what you're thinking.
