Just watched a few videos of press conferences with Luke and Mitch and interviews with Ingram and Zubac, and I really like the personality of these guys. I kind of hope Zubac stays but I have only watched one highlight video. That said, how many players can a NBA team have? And who are the good and not so good ones on our team?

Good
Russell
Randle
Clarkson
Ingram
Brown
Nance Jr

Not so good
?

Sacre is a great personality, but he's considered one of the least talented players in the NBA overall. Nick Young is decent, but he's streaky and getting old. Lou Williams has shit defense, and Hibbert is outdated. Truthfully, I think Byron brought everyone down last year, so the next two years are a more accurate metric.

 

[LyleLanley]

A day later and I'm still shocked that Chad Ford accurately predicted Thon to the Bucks at 10.

 

[Cybit]

I told everyone free agency was gonna be crazy this year

Yeah, people do not get how insane it is. Instead of thinking X mil per year, think of contracts in % of total cap space, and then scale up, and you'll get your contracts.

Duke's Marshall Plumlee has agreed to a guaranteed undrafted free-agent deal with the New York Knicks, league sources tell The Vertical.

Rookie of the Year

Rookie of the Year

It's good they will have a backup for Dwight

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Heat picked up the Serbian Porzingis Stefan Jankovic. The Don works in mysterious ways.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

If Noah gets that deal, he has the greatest agency in sports representing him next to Rich Paul.

 

[Oozer3993]

Just had one of the greatest Google Rewards surveys ever:

 

[darkside31337]

I know I've said the FA pool was insanely thin this year and 20 teams in the league can easily add a max contract but... the notion that Noah is going to get the max in 2016 seems a bit hard to believe. 4/60 would be believable.

The Wizards still have time to reconsider.

Let's be real, a NBA gm giving someone like Noah that much money wouldn't really be the most unbelievable thing, it's just fucking dumb.

Spoiler

Which is exactly why I still believe.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Chad Johnson is playing for the Heat summer league. Haha

 

[Ninja Scooter]

The report is false....but it's actually Dwight they are going to give $140 million to.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Wonder why the Kings didn't trade for Derrick Rose?

Boogie and Rose on the same team would be sick.

We're in the Brexit timeline. Anything can happen.

The knicks are gonna overpay Noah aren't they

reddit said it well, since the Bulls couldn't get Melo, you bring the Bulls to him.

 

[Tubobutts]

I like the version of Jaylen Brown in the 2K roster I downloaded so I assume he'll be good in real life too.

When I was playing MyGM mode a few months ago Jaylen Brown kept going second and Ingram wasn't even in the lottery so you must be right.

 

[LyleLanley]

Marc Stein just tweeted that the Warriors, Spurs and Thunder are the first three known teams to land recruiting meetings with KD.

 

[friskykillface]

KD X players that have already got paid X have endorsements should do 1-2 year deals until they retire

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Stein forgot to list Charlotte.

 

[Ronin Ray]

If ray allen came out of retirement I wonder how much a team would pay him

 

[jbug617]

Woj got the list. 6 teams

Durant’s representatives at Roc Nation are working to solidify invitations with the Boston Celtics, Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Clippers, Miami Heat, San Antonio Spurs and Thunder, league sources said.

https://sports.yahoo.com/news/sourc...-agent-meetings-at-single-site-164954322.html

Boston was listed first, surely he's coming to the Celtics.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Damn skippy. Riley in the room with The Whale. Let's see if he can reel it in.

 

[Jarate]

wheres the sixers though?

 

[LyleLanley]

In the trash.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

That hack Woj also forgot to list Charlotte.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

That hack Woj also forgot to list Charlotte.

Lol please..Hornets will be on the list for Harrison Barnes for sure.
KD, Where the invite for the Raptors?

 

[Face it Tiger..]

I bet Toronto is there along with Portland.

I think Toronto's just leakproof though.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Oh shit that LA team is the Clippers Woj posted.
Doc the GM was able to get a meeting with KD and his reps. Probably the best thing he did as a GM to date.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Lol please..Hornets will be on the list for Harrison Barnes for sure.
KD, Where the invite for the Raptors?

Raptors' #1 priority is resigning Biz. Not sure where KD fits into what they're doing. Not like Charlotte, which would be a perfect fit. Like a glove.

They're leaving Biz in the dust unless he extremely devalues himself. I guarantee that, those draft picks we chose guarantee that he is gone.

 

[jbug617]

Here is the list of teams that are interested in Durant but don't have a meeting.

Several teams that have interest in Durant – the Denver Nuggets, New York Knicks, Los Angeles Lakers, Houston Rockets and Washington Wizards – could still find audiences with him, but appear to be outsiders in the process now.

 

[Chase17]

Here is the list of teams that are interested in Durant but don't have a meeting.

For some reason I thought this was just going to be "the rest"

I don't see how Boston could land him, but I'll foolishly take this meeting as a good sign.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Biz had that one good game against Cleveland. Toronto should be preparing a max deal.

 

[tiggerkiddo]

Nuggets interested in Durant? It's nice to want things. Only the Broncos can attract big names in this town.

 

[Magilla]

I've already started planning the parade. Isaiah the recruiting god. Fire Ainge and get IT in the GM chair.

 

[h1nch]

Spurs aren't getting him, but it still feels nice to be on KD"s short list.

 

[Hitta93]

He's staying one last season before he chooses Harden over Westbrick.

 

[Kastrioti]

Marc Stein just tweeted that the Warriors, Spurs and Thunder are the first three known teams to land recruiting meetings with KD.

*Phew* KD on the Spurs.

Still think he stays one more season with Westbrook until they hit free agency in 2017. Especially with the trade they got. They already have Kanter and Adams down low and now a legit SG with Victor Oladipo? That is an NBA title team on paper. Better than the Warriors, Spurs, Cavs if the team stays healthy.

Still can't believe the Magic gave up the rights to Domantas Sabonis. Guy is going to be an impact player day 1 off the bench and a great NBA player eventually.

The Ibaka-Vucevic is actually a nice pairing as a PF and Center but I don't know what else the Magic are trying to do. They probably won't make the playoffs, even in the East, which makes the Sabonis trade even more questionable.

Oladipo is a young, solid SG but Sabonis will be great NBA player for a long time to come so I don't know why the Magic gave up his rights.

 

[Bread]

Durant is actually considering Boston?

*Faints

 

[Fjordson]

Really want Durant in Oakland. Don't think it happens, but damn that'd be dope.

 

[Jarate]

If Im Durant, im going to Golden State tbh

 

[Exodust]

I'd like my Lakers to get Durant, but we just drafted an SF as our number 2 pick so I don't think it's happening. Even if switching roles could be a possibility, or having the new kid play off the bench for a while which I'm guessing is unlikely.

 

[Servbot24]

I doubt KD even considers GSW if they had won the finals this year. Not that anyone there is happy they lost, but hey, could be a silver lining.

But damn... Steph and KD on the same team would be insane. Not to mention Klay and Dray.
