The Houston Rockets are interested in every free agent. I'm waiting for the WOJ tweets to come out saying the Rockets are trying to sign free agents from the NFL too

 

[LionPride]

It came out that a lot of GMs believe it.

It's him and Kanter and maybe Thon with that right?

 

[FZZ]

This dude about to have a 70% fg% with all the open shots he's gonna get

Does Jeff Teague have a big butt like IT and Lowry tho

 

[Crazy Diamond]

@AdamJosephSport

Per sources, Joe Ingles has big interest from the Memphis Grizzlies & has a meeting with the Los Angeles Clippers tomorrow.

 

[Lionel Richie]

Just mean like what he's done for the franchise. Steph's been here his whole career and we don't have either of the last two rings without him.

Yeah and let's be honest here, the Warriors had some fun teams with the Run TMC and the second Nelly Ball teams, but they weren't really relevant since the 70's. Steph is the definition of a franchise player in the NBA and he's one of just two guys currently playing who can claim that (sorry KD).

 

[GraveRobberX]

FA is lit 🔥

Adam Silver must be doing some sacrifices to certain blood gods that NBA is becoming this huge at this time

They fucking made MLB and NFL talk feel worthless
Even NFL shows were segueing to NBA talk lol

If everyone just signs reluctant deals and begs off long contracts, next year will be lunacy, this year will be nothing compared to next year if players have opt out and no long term signees

 

[Kickz]

Fuck, the third year in Livingston's deal is only guaranteed for $2m. Why did he take such an awful deal?

He's probably got an offshore bank account being lined up for him with his real money by one of Lacobs guys

 

[LionPride]

@AdamJosephSport

Ingles in Memphis?


I'm down

$15 mill a year tho? For a 29 year old RFA? Fuck it sure they need shooting

 

[Tom Penny]

Fuck LeBron and fuck the Celtics?

Sounds like an impatient incompetent GM. Olidipo future 👍

 

[Caddywompus]

nah yall might not even make the playofs lol.

There could easily be a 60 win team in the West and not make the playoffs with the exodus out East.

As I reported earlier... #Spurs made contact with Rudy Gay. Now he's on the verge of joining.

https://twitter.com/KeithSmithNBA/status/881008498041028609

Sources indicate that incumbent teams with RFAs are attempting to reach deals immediately to thwart BRK situation repeating from last year.

https://twitter.com/ZachLowe_NBA/status/881009032106061824

Third year of Shaun Livingston's deal is partially guaranteed, source says. Deal structure appears to be: $8M, $8M, $2M guaranteed

Wtf. Unreal.

 

[LyleLanley]

He's probably got an offshore bank account being lined up for him with his real money by one of Lacobs guys

That's the only way this makes sense. This was his only chance at a huge NBA contract.

 

[FZZ]

Okay but for real

No more conferences

cut number of games down to 60-something

playoffs seeded 1-16

have each team face one another like 2 or 3 times depending on proximity

there is no more parity, like there is nothing close to parity anymore

 

[Crazy Diamond]

Ingles in Memphis?


I'm down

$15 mill a year tho? For a 29 year old RFA? Fuck it sure they need shooting

Yup! They were really high on him when he was coming into the NBA, he'd probably carve out a really nice role here!

 

[Cooter]

If the Spurs sign Gay that's one less team in the mix for Iggy.

 

[friskykillface]

Durant will pay everyone under the table

Right now he's using his Nike money
2 more rings and he's better than LeBron

The end is near

 

[Syphon Filter]

spurs arent going to sign him lol.

Never has been parity bruh

 

[RedAssedApe]

mmm yeah...with the way things are going they probably should change how the playoffs work so that all the best teams aren't beating up each other in the west.

 

[Cooter]

spurs arent going to sign him lol.

But that 12:01 meeting...

 

[Lionel Richie]

Durant will pay everyone under the table

Right now he's using his Nike money
2 more rings and he's better than LeBron

He will then be upstaged by the Big Baller Brand and the Lakers will buy everyone soccer style to still lose to the Warriors in the WCF.

 

[MegaManTrigger]

That's the only way this makes sense. This was his only chance at a huge NBA contract.

Money isn't always the motivation for these kinds of deals. Some guys want to get paid, others might just want to stay in a good situation. Can't really blame 'em either way.

Seconds after the Paul George trade broke, an agent texted me: "😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂" The NBA is as stunned as you are. https://theringer.com/nba-kevin-pritchard-indiana-pacers-paul-george-trade-eac571cec6c9 … @ringer

Can confirm Joe Ingles will meet tomorrow with the Los Angeles Clippers

https://twitter.com/GoodmanESPN/status/881010723320717312

Told the third year is a player option with Teague, per source.

You want parity? Do the playoff seeding 1-16 and make it a single elimination game on every round.

Hayward to Miami hype train is gaining a bunch of steam. Ainge really going to strike out.

Source tells me he hopes to decide by Tuesday or Wednesday

https://twitter.com/daldridgetnt/status/881011223936069632

Thunder played long game, didn't bombard or crowd Indy because OKC knew Pacers liked Oladipo/Sabonis. Waited them out.

https://twitter.com/AlexKennedyNBA/status/881011181829316608

Rudy Gay's camp is pumping breaks on reported agreement with Spurs. They have meetings scheduled over next few days. Rudy weighing options.

 

[Bronx-Man]

I definitely agree that conferences just be eliminated and have the playoffs seeded 1-16.

Where are you seeing this?

[Marks] Golden State could possibly catch a break for the 2019-20 season. The NBA projects the luxury tax to be $131m in

Man I don't wish for injuries

but if Currys ankles explode and he still gets his money

I wouldn't mind

How does this happen to y'all so effortlessly

Not single elim

but yeah I said seeded 1-16

Source says Rudy Gay "agreement" with San Antonio Spurs is "Not True".

https://twitter.com/daldridgetnt/status/881012007079731200

Pacers just didn't like offers they got this time around. Cs wouldn't give Brown/Tatum; Indy wasn't interested in Boston vets/non BKN picks.

 

[Kickz]

[jbug617]

Where are you seeing this?

Windhorst hype and a Ringer article quoted a agent that said he think Miami is the fav.

 

[Crazy Diamond]

I just read a joke post on RealGM that said Joe Ingles could be an All-Star in the East and I laughed, but then I realized he would probably make it by default.

 

[Hyperactivity]

https://twitter.com/jwquick/status/881012140349337600

Blazers tried to get in. They made offer to Indy last Monday that was better than what Pritchard took from OKC.

 

[golem]

Not single elim

but yeah I said seeded 1-16

Worst team goes to the D League

 

[FZZ]

Worst team goes to the D League

tbh they should do that

have the top 2 D-league teams compete with the NBA as well

 

[LionPride]

I just read a joke post on RealGM that said Joe Ingles could be an All-Star in the East and I laughed, but then I realized he would probably make it by default.

Deadass DLo may make it

Any player will make it at this rate

 

[jbug617]

Indy really wanted the OKC deal.

@daldridgetnt: Pacers just didn't like offers they got this time around. Cs wouldn't give Brown/Tatum; Indy wasn't interested in Boston vets/non BKN picks.

No PG.. no taxes and great weather. They are behind Utah and Miami at this point. Only draw is there is no chance you will get out of the West playoffs.

Guard position too loaded. Wall, IT, Beal, Kyrie, DeRozan, Kemba, Schroder, and only a max of 6 spots to give to them

Joe Ingles will also meet with the Jazz this weekend, per sources.

Utah's Joe Ingles has yet to start negotiations with any team, agent Mark Bartelstein tells ESPN. Starts taking... http://www.espn.com/espn/now?nowId=21-0672665842697115197-4 …

Alright cya my friends, hopefully when I wake up the Cavs have done it.

I've been saying all along the Celtics weren't getting George without throwing in Brown/Tatum.

 

[Hyperactivity]

https://twitter.com/JADubin5/status/881013477866967040

Expect the Knicks to move Courtney Lee if they can get George Hill to agree to a deal. They're looking into it.

Btw, Celtics meeting with Hayward is on Sunday, and Jazz get the last meeting on Monday

 

[GraveRobberX]

Alright cya my friends, hopefully when I wake up the Cavs have done it.

Blowing up the team and start the race to the bottom for 3-5 straight years and get #1-3 pick straight?
