Ring chasing time for free agents that want a ring
If you are a big man you are basically on the team if you want

Lol you think zaza takes that contract anywhere else? Nope

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Zaza to the warriors, 1 year 2.9M

Incredible deal when dudes like Mozgov getting paid tens of millions of dollars. He traded all of that away for a chance to be on THE superteam.

 

[Two Words]

Zaza to the warriors, 1 year 2.9M

Mavs should have matched it just to keep Javale off the floor.

Hibbert waiting on that Cuban money

 

[Xplatformer]

This is a very real problem the NBA will face.

General apathy is gonna set in when you already know going in you hot no shot for 95% of the league.

Explain the popularity of La Liga, Barcelona and Real Madrid then.

The most fortuitous eras for the NBA have been the ones with the least parity.

Yup. It's a players league that thrives on it's Star power...not it's team name (the Lakers/Knick/Spurs being the exceptions).

[FZZ]

Can Thunder trade Westbrook to Spurs?

Oh well. Is it true that Nike made him do it?

LMAO

my bad

 

[Xplatformer]

I'm not gonna hate on Durant, great player and I can understand his choice.

But I hope the Warriors win nothing and I'm not sure they will. The karma gods are strong.

Hope the Celts move to Gasol.

You do realize the Warriors were below average for a long period of time right? They were the Lakers' bitch for years.


I wish I could see Steve Balmer's face when he heard the news. CLASSIC.

Tbh I will probably hate 16-17 Warriors more than the Heat Big Three now. Lebron has redeemed himself in my eyes with the Cavs.

But what if this move leads to OKC going back to Seattle? Still bad?

 

[darkside31337]

That Zaza deal is insane.

Folks begging for a hard cap are missing the fact that there are guys near the end of their career who will actually take way less money to win a ring.

NOTHING EASY...OK MAYBE A LITTLE EASY

 

[LyleLanley]

I hope Ben Simmons never attempts a jump shot.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I hope Ben Simmons never attempts a jump shot.

how is he going to learn?

 

[Tom Penny]

And it begins. ZaZa for 3 million. He could have made 10 or more.

 

[infiniteloop]

GSW + Durant is going to be great TV. Sucks it'll almost always be late EST.

 

[LyleLanley]

how is he going to learn?

Why would he want to?

 

[Cooter]

Wait... they picked up Zaza for 2.9? This day keeps getting better.

 

[XxRampage07xX]

Wow Zaza gave no fuck about the money. He just wanted to play for the best team in the league.

 

[ViciousDS]

GSW + Durant is going to be great TV. Sucks it'll almost always be late EST.

Lol pretty much.....they would have had an insanely bigger viewing audience if he joined Boston. Games on average start at like 9-10pm CST come fall for warriors. Might as well just watch the Knicks.....that will be entertaining. Let's see who sits first due to soreness

 

[phanphare]

damn was hoping the hornets could get zaza

can someone take spencer hawes' contact? please? no? ok fine

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Can the Mavs off-season look any worse especially after this ZaZa signing and trade for Bogut?

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

The ring chasers are coming boys. David West is next or what?

 

[spyder_ur]

Simmons' passing is really exciting.

 

[LyleLanley]

Simmons may not be able to make a jump shot but his passes are nice.

 

[Tom Penny]

Can the Mavs off-season look any worse especially after this ZaZa signing and trade for Bogut?

Sure they are about get Max Barnes.

 

[spyder_ur]

RJ Hunter lighting it up.

He has also committed 5 fouls with 4 minutes to go in the first half.

 

[jbug617]

2 highlight passes by Simmons. Rozier shooting is great.

 

[Tom Penny]

Combine him and Young and you're talking worst defensive player awards.

Next year's free agency definitely got more interesting though. Clippers fans in particular should probably start clenching their butts.

 

[El Topo]

Oh God, Dirk hasn't signed a new contract.

 

[spyder_ur]

Combine him and Young and you're talking worst defensive player awards.

Young is unpolished defensively but he has some promise. Hunter may be just a hopelessly atrocious defender. Gets bodied out of position every time.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Oh God, Dirk hasn't signed a new contract.

Apparently,

Dirk And Mavs Agree To 'Rest-Of-Cap-Room' Salary Of $9M-to-$12M

 

[darkside31337]

Oh God, Dirk hasn't signed a new contract.

Dirk can choose between signing with GS Rejects or signing with actual GS.

Get another ring Dirk, you deserve better than this

 

[friskykillface]

The ring chasers are coming boys. David West is next or what?

I'm surprised he hasn't already signed with them
He's thirsty af for a ring and he'd actually help against Thompson X bigs

 

[LyleLanley]

Young is unpolished defensively but he has some promise. Hunter may be just a hopelessly atrocious defender. Gets bodied out of position every time.

Lol, Young has some promise. We've been saying this since he joined the team in the early 90s.

 

[El Topo]

Apparently,

On one hand I'm glad he doesn't go to GSW, on the other hand I'm sad he didn't manage to squeeze out more money.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Oh God, Dirk hasn't signed a new contract.

Warriors lineup is going to be fast as hell with their four starters, they need someone athletic that can run/dunk and grab rebounds.

 

[LyleLanley]

Hibbert to Charlotte per Woj. You have my condolences Hornets-GAF.

 

[spyder_ur]

Lol, Young has some promise. We've been saying this since he joined the team in the early 90s.

It's incredible that he's only 20.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Man the Warriors management knows what they are doing. Plus you got consultants like Jerry West and Steve Nash.

 

[eBay Huckster]

Explain the popularity of La Liga, Barcelona and Real Madrid then.

Who? This is America, I'm not familiar with any of those.

(In any event, looks like LeBron and Kyrie get to do the impossible again)

 

[darkwing-buck]

Hibbert to Charlotte.

God awful last year for the lakers but dude has a good heart.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Charles Barkley is the worst 3 pointer shooter of all time, statistically speaking. I think this is core to his hatred of 3-point shooting teams.

 

[Jarate]

Watching this Summer League game and Ben Simmons looks like a man among boys right now. His passing ability is absolutely insane holy shit

Christian Wood is also playing surprisingly well

 

[Misterhbk]

If the Warriors dip into the Luxury Tax to sign a couple more vet minimum guys like David West, would it fuck up anything in terms of them maxing Curry and Durant next year?

 

[darkwing-buck]

Summer League started already?

 

[LyleLanley]

Heck of an airball by Simmons.

 

[phanphare]

it's the right move honestly but......yeah

honestly I think cho and co. did a great job this off season, all things considered. our core is locked up to long term deals, most under their market value. did the best they could for this season without fucking over the future.

 

[Gully State]

Man the Warriors management knows what they are doing. Plus you got consultants like Jerry West and Steve Nash.

I know we all joke about Lacob being cocky as fuck but he's smart enough to surround himself with brilliant basketball minds.

Chief among them,

Jerry West is your consigliere/closer
Hiring a talented sports agent as your GM in Bob Myers- who better than someone who made a living negotiating player contracts on the other side.
Kerr- coach who apprenticed under both Phil and Pop.
Larry Riley- the GM who drafted Curry and Thompson- Kept him on board as lead talent evaluator

The list goes on...

 

[victreeb3l]

Knicksbros we got Lance Thomas back. Whoo hoo.

Now lock in Galloway.

 

[Bread]

Heck of an airball by Simmons.

He's such a bust
