Are the Laker oblivious to the fact that they're in complete rebuild mode? You can go get a big out of the D-League and get about the same production for a fraction of the price you're paying Mosgov.

He was a bad talent evaluator but he sure hosed other GMs in trades.

Bruh if they giving that kind of money to a center that got benched for the corpse of Richard Jefferson then wtf is Whiteside gonna make?
No, this is amazing. The Lakers can't possibly be worse then last year, right? Next years draft is loaded not only with talent, but with a lot of good PG's
That's why I'm glad Colangelo refused to trade the pick for Dunn. Next years pick if it falls to like 5-8 is way more valuable then Dunn

Whiteside is getting a full max. Anyone that thought guys would take paycuts, or that you'd be able to get "steals" was delusional.

$110m cap. No hard cap. Deals below 20m per year aren't a big deal.
I'm assuming he'll get a job probably next year. It won't stop Sixer's fans from building a statue

This Mosgov deal set the precedence for the future of Center contracts. Unbelievable
Each one of the Warriors bigs should be able to command as much.

It's going to take some time for people to wrap their heads around these numbers. Marginal players getting $10-15 million is going to be the new normal. Good players will make $18-20 million. Stars will get $25+ million.
Same thing happened in baseball when revenue sky rocketed. People freak out when a team gives $15 million a year to a number 3 pitcher, but that's where the market is now.

Warriors owner is shook , a no center team would be his vision of revolutionary though 🤔

I think he wasn't bad. He didn't had the number 1 pick so he took risks. I give him a passing grade on that.
All things considered he prob deserves that recognition.
He's ok when he's healthy, IF he's healthy.

Wonder where Rondo goes now? Nets picked Jennings over him
I think the Kings only option at this point

Don't forget to ask how his knee is. I'm glad the Mavs are walking away from this experiment.
In my worst nightmares he joins the sixers

This isn't the worst point as Stotts comes from the Carlisle umbrella. He could be falling for the same things.
Still:
Lillard/CJ/Aminu/Parsons/whichever Center Portland has
GREAT lineup.

Hassan Whiteside told at least one Heat teammate earlier this week that he was staying in Miami, AP is told. We shall see.

Not a bomb. We shall see what happens tonight. I wouldn't bet on him staying. But I found it interesting.

The Joakim Noah-to-NY deal isn't done, but I'm told the fourth year of the $72 mil deal - as currently discussed - would be guaranteed.

Mozgov and Lakers have agreed on the deal.
Celtics have at least called Luol Deng.

Crazy that they were paying MJ $33 mil nearly 20 years ago, and the #1 guy from this year was Kobe, with a paltry $25 mil.

fuckin Knicks just let Kristaps be a stretch 5! EMBRACE YOUR FUTURE!
I'd jump on the Jeremy Lin's of the world first if I were the Kings.
Waiters just meshes with the Kings' selfishness.
They do need a backup. But yeah this deal isn't great

This doesn't make sense why you taking away from Jaylen Brown's minutes at the 3.
Unless you using Deng as a stretch 4.
He is a decent playmaker as I recall. Health is the main issue here :S It makes me nervous
lol holy shit

I'd like the Lakers to get a vet 2/3 bench player and then call it an offseason. No need to get involved in some crazy bidding wars.

Gasol would be a great pick up for GSW if they miss out on Durant.
That's probably not true. I imagine the Pacers built through trades namely because they balked at shelling out so much money. There are other small market teams that will similarly be scared to dole out massive contracts for marginal players.
He's versatile and 6'10'' but he's a surprising choice given our supposed focus on BIGS (which may or may not have been a media run).
We're keeping Crabbe it seems.
I think Harkless and Leonard maybe out of the picture (in that order) I wish we could keep both and spring Parsons.
Looking at Gasol too. I like that for the roster but not at the price. He fits the framework well though he's kind of LMA-ish.
