If they lost him two seasons from now, it wouldnt be that big a deal. He avgs 9 and 7. #shrugg.

Would we not be excited for Russell and Kevin if Serge bolted during his free agency? Simple answer is no.[/QUOTE]

9 7 and over 3 blocks..

What does you being excited for your team have to do with ANYTHING about free agency?

Yes, the dude helps them win. But, they still have Kevin and Russell. Serge's 9 and 7 would be made up elsewhere.

They can even run Kevin at the 4 during the second qtr. A few more minutes for Harden and Ibaka wouldnt be missed.

82 game season. Back2Backs. Two players capable of avg 25. They gonna find ways to win without the dude. Would be nice if they can extend him and a decent price. As this conversation is all about.

It wasn't a "contract year" by any stretch of the imagination.

Except for it being a contract year and all

 

[jordan0386]

$12.5 million for Batum? Kahn can have him. I wouldn't expect Batum to be much different from the player he is now. He's a role player on a good team. Easily replaceable at his position.

When the fuck is Wes Johnson and Derrick Williams gonna play. Two guys who make way less than this supposed deal.

What is Kahn doing, man.

His numbers weren't better. He was just getting more playing time. I don't see how you can say he had a contract year.

This is sarcasm right?

 

[Rodeo Clown]

Wes Johnson should never play.

Ken Berger ‏@KBergCBS
One more time for clarity: Matching period for RFA offer sheets does not begin until offer is signed, which can't happen until July 11.

Ken Berger ‏@KBergCBS
This is backwards. If NBA/union wanted to speed up restricted free agency, matching period should take place during moratorium.

Ken Berger ‏@KBergCBS
Now, shortening of match period from 7 to 3 days has limited effect. Team waiting 11 days for process to begin loses out on UFAs.

Pretty stupid.

 

[DY_nasty]

Wes Johnson should never play.

But how else will we see his winning smile?

 

[jordan0386]

If you're gonna rotate fringe NBA players every off season, just sell your draft picks.

Are bad teams out the business of developing players?

 

[Adam Blade]

Did someone say smile?

 

[Rodeo Clown]

But how else will we see his winning smile?

Move to Turkey where he'll be playing in a year?

 

[Brinbe]

Woo...

@ESPNSteinLine: Raps still meeting w/Nash in NYC as we speak. Also: Told Raps already trying to trade Calderon so amnesty not needed on expiring deal

 

[jordan0386]

While we're at it. Go get Ray, OJ, and Humphries and try to have a winning season up north.

Just cut the bullshit, Andrea will never be shit.

 

[thekad]

McGee is a great player. That's not what I was getting at.

And why the fuck are you so infatuated with making everything about Ryan Anderson? Your Garrity joke is so freaking stupid, the two players are nothing alike other than the fact that they are both white. Thats it.

RB has finally pulled darkside into the muck.

One of these is Wes Johnson. The other is Chase Budinger. One of these guys should never be allowed to play. The Budinger pickup was a really smart move by the Wolves.

 

[Omega]

Yummy.

LMA and Hibbert would be a great big man duo.

 

[Adam Blade]

Hey guys, what were John Wall's shooting percentages last year?

 

[Rodeo Clown]

@PhoenixSuns

Suns President Lon Babby, GM Lance Blanks & coach @AlvinGentry are in L.A. to meet w/ free-agent forward Michael Beasley

B-Easy is about to get paid.

It's going to be okay, giri.

I'm gonna say it was somewhere between 20-30, iirc.

Edit: Yup. 20 games in. Against the Bobcats.

[thekad]

Am I crazy in thinking that a 4/$32mil deal for Asik isn't that bad? It's better than paying Roy Hibbert the max, at the very least.

It's a better deal than Desuckdre's.

Frank Isola ‏@FisolaNYDN
Maybe Chris Paul turned down the Clippers deal because he really wants to play with Carmelo.

Frank Isola: Lot of NBA execs believe Chris Paul is still hoping to find a way to get to the Knicks…won’t happen this summer. Maybe next July Twitter

SOMEONE'S GOT A PLAN.

How fucked up is it that Nash would come to the Raptors to improve his front office situation?

 

[Adam Blade]

o no u din dy oooooo no

The Lakers are targeting a handful of veteran point guards including Chauncey Billups, Jameer Nelson and Kirk Hinrich, the source said.

Really?

 

[jordan0386]

Asshole 3s from the other side of the locker room. Sign me up.

 

[thekad]

Kemba & Biyombo for John Wall. How long until the Wiz hang up the phone? Over/under is 5 seconds.

If the Rockets decide to blow it up:

Dragic or Lowry
Lamb
Parsons
Motie
Asik

I could live with that. Lamb might actually have a shot a ROTY throwing up 20 shots a game.

Not keeping Lee? Wonder if the Clips could pick him up for cheap...

John Wall went 3-42 from 3-point range last season...

Holy fuck. That's even worse than DeRozan bad.

Courtney Lee wants $7 million a year or something ridiculous like that. He's got no place on a rebuilding team.

I asked @CourtneyLee2211 to compare other @NBA players' deals to his 'range'. He named @arronafflalo, @JJRedick & @trevorariza.

Yeah.

[Truphenom]

This is some 2k level free agency going on here. Billy King should trade for Amare.

Derrick Rose was just as bad. Always time for the gym.

Except for that fact that, you know, Derrick Rose never demonstrated such poor shooting percentage in his entire life. Ever.

 

[jordan0386]

I'd rather pay Courtney Lee than Brandon Roy.

He's alright. His niche is second guard off the bench, bang out some corner 3s.

3 years 15 million.

 

[jordan0386]

Edit.

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

Gotcha, kad.

Hey, DeRozan made significant progress in that department this year:

Year 1: 4-16
Year 2: 5-52
Year 3: 24-92


I think we can safely extrapolate that at this rate he'll be shooting .749 by year 9.

 

[SamuraiX-]

oh.

Is that why he shot below 27% his first two seasons?

That's a helluva lot better than 7.1%

 

[DY_nasty]

oh.

Is that why he shot below 27% his first two seasons?

I think he's pointing out 7% from 3

 

[jordan0386]

Yea, I tried to gtfo with the edit.

Forget I said anything.

Raptors offer Nash 3yrs/36 million........ according to Chris Broussard.

Same.

haha, think it's funny huh. Wait 'till Wall comes back with a vengeance next year.
