On the one hand I'd enjoy seeing Aldridge on the Spurs... But at the same time I'd hate seeing Green or Splitter leave.

Sounds like it will be Charlotte vs Golden State on Marco. Charlotte likely will offer the full MLE for Marco whereas GS may not. But GS is obviously the defending champs, so that in and of itself is alluring over the situation in Charlotte.
Hope we can snag him though. He'd fit well.

Just glad Jordan Hill is off the team. Cost way too much and was probably my least favorite player.
He's also a Wildcat, but that doesn't really sit well....given that Luke Walton was a good role-player.

the only way Calipari is leaving Kentucky is for a front office position, coach/GM or a maybe team like the Spurs once Pop retires.
he has it made there. Some stat at the draft that showed he has more first round picks than any other school in history, or maybe it was lottery picks. why would he walk away from that at all? let alone to coach some dysfunctional team like the Kings

... would have helped if they didnt give Kobe 25 million.
Also not surprised Tobias Harris is going to get paid by someone. Magic would be making the biggest mistake in the world letting him walk honestly. Feel like its going to be like letting Ryno walk only to try to replace him with Channing Fucking Frye a year later (and the Magic wouldn't even have a problem resigning Tobias if Frye didn't have 3 years and 24 million left on his garbage contract).

If they can open up a little more space they can pontentially add a max guy (LMA, DeAndre) and either a lower tier guy like Danny Green or a vet like Tyson Chandler. Would still leave us with Max space next offseason too. That Nick Young contract is the real killer though. Might need to attach a future 1st to get rid of it. Fucking bum.

Current day NBA is a joke, everyone talks a big game, but no one leaves to go anywhere.
We are going to be stuck with a team of nobody's.

Oops didn't see that.
Question for me is....if we had an equal chance at getting both DeAndre and LMA, which would you take? As in, both would go to us definitely.
this whole kings debacle is fucking magnificent
everytime i see more news come out of it it just blows my mind

I'm tempted to say DeAndre. Younger and easier to build around, though Russel really has to deliver on his potential as Jordan seems to need a good PG to maximize his production. The problem with getting LMA is that 5s to pair with him don't grow on trees.

Heres a really detailed article explaining why Tobias Harris is legitimately a star in the making (and hes only 22). Wouldn't say hes the most underrated player in the league but whoever is signing him knows what they're getting and wouldn't be surprised to see his contract be way higher than what the average public expects. Has easily been the best player on the Magic since he got here and the team they put around him doesn't really help him either.

His agent literally took that article and sent it to GM's or they obviously wrote it themselves...

Supposedly there is a way the Spurs can sign Aldridge and keep Green, but it is contingent on Duncan taking even less money, which is always a possibility. I know Duncan said money doesn't matter to him at this point but that was before he lost $24 mil to that scam artist. Will be interesting to find out if the Spurs can pull off the magic trick.
Lol its a joke b/c every star doesn't leave their established playoff team for a lottery team in LA?

You know Duncan and the Spurs have an "Under the table" deal for when he retires.

Ugh, I'm starting to sell myself on the idea of giving Tobias Harris a max contract. I hate the NBA.
Sign Crowder 4/28 and a cheap rim protector. Offer Harris 12 per and if he says no move on. I'd much rather have Middelton but Bucks will match everything.

The Magic would probably match that.

Damn Pelicans just open the bank.
Only 30 million a year. That sucks. When he's old at 27 he will probably only sign for 45 million a year. He's getting robbed.

Wtf have the Blazers done? Iman, JR and Lou about to be paid. Scared to imagine the figures.
Fuck. I don't want to pay Crowder that much. It's going to be hilarious when they pay Lilliard a zillion dollars and he's not even that good.

Crowder is probably worth that much given how much the cap is going up. That Aminu deal looks like an over pay now but it'll be fine eventually.
Tobias is almost definitely getting a max contract.
Immediate change to DeAndre Jordan's meeting schedule: ESPN sources say Mavs having dinner with Clippers center as we speak
DeAndre Jordan initially supposed to start meeting teams tomorrow. Mavs' standing in the DeAndre race gets them sitdown right after midnight
Also hearing Mavs have split up their recruiting posse and are conducting two meetings at present: One with DeAndre; one with Wes Matthews

Avery Bradley's contract will be a steal in a year 0_0. I really don't want to be the one who screws up on Harris. Players getting stats on bad teams is always questionable.

Isaiah Thomas just started following Tobias Harris on Twitter. Plan the parade.
I assume when there's a new CBA teams will get another amnesty so I don't mind risking it on someone as young as him.

Man Clipps D is going to go in the toilet if they lose DeAndre. Blake gonna get exposed badly on that end. Tyson Chandler would be a good fit there but no way they can afford him.
