The Warriors have agreed to terms on a five-year, $85 million deal with their free agent forward Draymond Green, a source told Yahoo.

Draymond got his munny

 

[Ninja Scooter]

West would be a good fit with Houston if they miss out on LMA, maybe SA too.

 

[catpurrcat]

I dunno if I missed something but how did Toronto get worse?

Lol yeah that comment confused me too. Raps swept, yes, but won 49 games with derozan missing like 20 games and Lowry seemingly playing hurt going into April.

Adding Carroll and a year extra of experience for JV, kyle, derozan, lou, Patterson, and a new assistant coach sounds like a better team for 2015-16.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

What washed up PG will the Bulls turn into a star this FA?

Seems like Aaron Brooks will be gone.

 

[h1nch]

Draymond got his munny

GSW got a good deal. 5 yrs 85 mil is less than the max.

 

[darkside31337]

Weird to see Asik resign with the Pelicans. Didn't think he or the team would want to do a new deal. Hes a really poor fit for that team.

 

[Shamrock7r]

Can't believe we have to wait around for the LMA announcment because he wants to listen to a Knicks pitch...

 

[Dreams-Visions]

$40m for Shump. Everyone getting paid.

that will be looked back at as a bargain if he learns how to shoot more consistently.

that's the only real deficiency in his game and he still hella young.

Miami's got a great starting 5 (if Whiteside doesn't turn out a to be a one year wonder) that I'd probably put right up there with Chicago. They might need to make a trade or two to reinforce their bench though.

yea I really like their starting 5. best Eastern Conference also-ran team. But I don't think that starting 5 is enough to carry them past a healthy Bulls or Cavs by any stretch of the imagination.

I look forward to seeing Goran vs Irving, though. Oh and the battle of the soft bigs: Love vs Bosh.

Cavs still need a backup PG and SF. Gilbert/LeBron pls get to work.

Can't believe we have to wait around for the LMA announcment because he wants to listen to a Knicks pitch...

I mean, he'd be king of New York. That still means something. LMA and Melo would be a great core for the next several years. Wouldn't be winning right now, but 2017/2018? I'm sure they could bring in enough talent to be a problem.

 

[Tom Penny]

It's insane to me that Curry make 11 million but in 2 years the won't be much of a problem...

Miami does have a good starting 5 but how did Bosh half a season, Wade Deng and Whiteside be sub .500 half the season?

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Can't believe we have to wait around for the LMA announcment because he wants to listen to a Knicks pitch...

Why turn down a free dinner on James Dolan's dime?

 

[catpurrcat]

Knicks seemingly are going to have to overpay for talent or draft their way to competitiveness because players don't seem to give a fuck about going there. So much for being a big market team.

I forgot which analsyt said this, but they said that with the social media environment and the global nba game with lots of reach on the Internet, it does not really matter to play in a large market anymore.

 

[Fjordson]

Draymond back to the Warriors

The Warriors have agreed to terms on a five-year, $85 million deal with their free agent forward Draymond Green, a source told Yahoo. - Marc Spears

Thank you. Woo!

Now wonder if we can add someone like Belinelli for the bench.

Warriors are the champs and have their three best players signed under the max. Damn.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Speaking of Amare, isn't he a free agent too? Don't do it, Mitch.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

The Knicks haven't won since the early 70s and have been a laughing stock for most of the lifetimes of the current players who are in their 20s. I mean, the Lakers are struggling with convincing guys they'll be competitive and they won a title 5 years ago, it's just that much harder for the Knicks. Being in a large market is an advantage, but it can't be your only advantage.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Do it, Mitch.

 

[jbug617]

What will be Philly's starting 5 look like?

@WojYahooNBA: Sacramento is trading Jason Thompson and Carl Landry as part of a salary dump to the Philadelphia 76ers, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.

 

[rando14]

Philly continues the 100 Year Tank

 

[Face it Tiger..]

Draymond back to the Warriors

The Warriors have agreed to terms on a five-year, $85 million deal with their free agent forward Draymond Green, a source told Yahoo. - Marc Spears

meh.

I always thought of Draymond as a 2nd stringer.

 

[darkside31337]

NBAPA should fight for a stipulation that every player in the league gets a no trade clause to Philly in the next CBA. Its sad to see careers sent to die like this.

 

[jbug617]

Philly continues the 100 Year Tank

They are also getting Nik Stauskus

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Philly continues the 100 Year Tank

What if this all pays off...in 2076?!? Hinke you genius.

They are also getting Nik Stauskus

You've got to be fucking kidding?!?! Draft a guy 8th overall and a year later trade him in a salary dump? Stern should have just told Vivek, Kevin Johnson and the city of Sacramento to get fuuuuuuuckt and let Seattle have the Kings.

 

[Shamrock7r]

Why turn down a free dinner on James Dolan's dime?

I suppose you're right, but I need to know if I should start celebrating, or convincing myself that the Spurs don't need LMA and we are going to win anyway.

 

[darkside31337]

Such a crazy deal. Drag Stern out to veto this shit for basketball reasons.

 

[RedAssedApe]

They are also getting Nik Stauskus

was that the dude getting bullied by boogie? lol

 

[h1nch]

Oh man did anyone catch Windhorst on ESPN absolutely shred the Lakers for their poor FA recruitment efforts?

 

[Tom Penny]

Philly continues the 100 Year Tank

They probably got to the cap floor. Well worth it.

 

[LyleLanley]

Philly wanted Stauskas? They really are committed to the tank.

 

[Tom Penny]

Please max Rondo Kings...do it.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Oh man did anyone catch Windhorst on ESPN absolutely shred the Lakers for their poor FA recruitment efforts?

The only expert opinion I would trust Windhorst about is what LeBron had for lunch. Fuck that clown.

 

[infiniteloop]

Stauskas?

 

[unknownstranger]

Stauskas?

The white guy that got drafted high last year.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

it's crazy how Vivek swooped in and quickly took "Worst owner in the NBA" status. I mean, granted it helps that Sterling is gone but this is a pretty incredible run he's on.

 

[jbug617]

Please max Rondo Kings...do it.

Rondo only wants a 1yr deal.

 

[rando14]

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA
The Kings clearing the salary cap space to pursue free agents Rajon Rondo and Wes Matthews, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.

Holy mother

EDIT:

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA
The Kings are seriously interested in free agent guard Monta Ellis too, league sources tell Yahoo Sports .

OMG Monta Ellis too

I can't.

 

[unknownstranger]

Holy mother

Karl should just quit if they sign Rondo.

Edit: :jnc if they get Monta too.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Holy mother

EDIT:


OMG Monta Ellis too

I can't.

I can understand teams not wanting to play with Melo in NY, or play with Kobe and a bunch of rookies in LA, but it says a lot about how dysfunctional Kings that they have a legit franchise center in DMC and they can't seem to get elite or even great FAs to come and play with him.

 

[Sifl]

Monta and Rondo reunited, because it worked the first time.

 

[jbug617]

Zach Lowe says that Philly is also getting a pick in this trade. Kings better have lottery protected that.

 

[darkside31337]

Monta and Rondo reunited, because it worked the first time.

They should get JR too while they're at it. Greatest league pass team ever.

 

[Tom Penny]

Rondo, Ellis, Gay, Cousins, Trill is must watch TV. Definitely car crash potential.

 

[Officerrob]

How can Windhorst report on anybody else when he's got his head all the way up LeBron's ass?

 

[Ninja Scooter]

had no idea the Grizz signed Brandon Wright for the MLE. Good signing for the price. Good change of pace big for them.

 

[darkside31337]

Rondo, Ellis, Gay, Cousins, Trill is must watch TV. Definitely car crash potential.

George Karl beat cancer twice. He wouldn't survive that.

 

[Tom Penny]

Sixers will receive a protected 1st-round pick from the Kings, and swap rights w/ Sacto in the 1st round of two other drafts, sources say.

Kings gunna King.

 

[LyleLanley]

Kings gunna King.

God damn the Kings are fucking incompetent.

 

[darkside31337]

Kings gunna King.

Is the swapped picks optional or mandatory? Because if its the latter then the Kings got themselves some #1 picks.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Kings gunna King.

All this just to get Rondo? Who the fuck else even wants Rondo? Fuck off Stern. This blood is on your hands.

 

[LyleLanley]

Is the swapped picks optional or mandatory? Because if its the latter then the Kings got themselves some #1 picks.

It's worded kind of strange but it certainly means that the the Sixers have the right to swap first round picks in two drafts.

 

[Darknight34]

Hmm... Kings could be... interesting. I almost think Rondo could work.

 

[Sifl]

I wouldn't be shocked if I woke up tomorrow and the 76ers pulled off a trade to own every pick in the 2016 draft.
