Rajon Rondo to Sacto, one year, $10 million, I'm told. - Sam Amick

This will end well.

Edit:

"Update on the Rajon Rondo to Sac deal: being told its $9.5 million. They get their guy."

THANK YOU JESUS. NO RONDO BULLSHIT.

Now hopefully Amare and Lee can get picked up before the Lakers go full stupid. I don't believe for a second that we've seen this FO's final stupid form just yet unfortunately.

Guys guess what every team thinks they are going to get Durant. We already had Woj saying the Clippers can go after him.
@ChrisMannixSI: With DeAndre Jordan on board, Mavs now believe they can be a significant player for the biggest free agent prize next summer: Kevin Durant

That's fucking crazy

Do the Mavs really think that DeAndre Jordan can create his own offense??? He's pretty much Tyson Chandler 2.0 at this point without a pg to feed him dunks

IIRC the Mavs turned around Tyson's free-throw shooting from like high 50% to a solid 70 something. I bet Dirk told DJ that Holger is gonna work with him or something.

I want to watch this team every night. Rudy and DeMarcus and now Rondo. Karl on the sidelines. Its like The Wire meets Modern Family.

If KD doesn't at least get to the western conference finals I can see him leave for a 1/2 year deal to the Wizards
He going home bros

The only way I see Durant leaving OKC is if Donovan turns out to be a complete abject failure.
Click to expand...

Agreed, and if they can add a third piece, just a second tier superstar, or of course even better than that, they are serious title contenders.

I dont understand the obsession with KD leaving, its not gonna happen (unless like you said, Donovan hugely disappoints).

Imagine if OKC added a demarre or millsap type of player. That's a top 3 team right there.

Well Ibaka is supposed to be that third piece and he's definitely capable of it. He was injured last year but OKC needs to decide on what they want him to be exactly. Having him sit outside the arc waiting to knock a 3 completely screws up the floor spacing.

edit: Also I have no idea wtf OKC is thinking if the rumors about them giving Kanter a big deal are true. He's a nice additional piece but it's not worth it giving him a big deal when you got Adams and Ibaka.

Kanter has value to some teams because hes a good offensive player but its not like OKC needed any more offense. Only one basketball on the court, really its like half a basketball on the court when you got Westbrook running the show.

We desperately needed bench scoring which he brings. The only other thing we need we need is a solid 3 and D guy and we'd probably be favorites to win it all this year.

I also don't mind Ibaka on the 3 point line as it gives Westbrook an easier lane to drive or more room to post up smaller guards.

I'm imagining you will have a three way sign and trade between Indiana (hibbert), Dallas (Ellis) and LAC (Deandre Jordan)
Click to expand...

Ew. I'd rather the Pacers sign Ellis outright and hold on to Hibbert. Why not? It's not like Myles Turner is going to be ready immediately. He's under contract for another year, no reason to dump him for no reason.

You may be entering a period of what I as a Dallas Cowboys fan called "The Dark Times"
Constant mediocrity but never irrelevant in terms of media presence to remind you of that mediocrity.

I'm a bit late to the news but...really good signing for the Pacers! Monta should really help with the scoring woes of the team, and with PG coming back, slowly but surely we'll be coming back for contention.

The Donkey of the last half decade goes to Brian Colangelo, who should've drafted him back in 2006.

Cool I guess. Dont hate it or love it. Dont think there are any other FAs left in the market that are decent. Solid offseason, glad we didn't do some BS like Bargnani 2.0 or something.

I was hoping for Lin :( Likely he ends up with the Mavs.
Click to expand...

Out of curiosity why does anyone want Lin? His stats weren't that bad but he looked god awful whenever I saw him playing with the Lakers last year.

On De'Andre though, he actually has some pretty good post up moves, he just rarely gets a chance to use them.

Also does his mom live in Dallas? She was hanging around one of the post game interviews last season when the Clips were playing in Dallas.

edit: lol DeAndre has a pretty great sense of humor, video of an interview on him after his first ever made jumpshot in the NBA https://youtu.be/sSuQ5dYhcHI?t=15

Also do you still have that reporter Clippers fans?

If we can get him for cheap, that'd be cool. I think he would be a solid backup PG. There's a rumor that Knicks already reached out to him so Phil probably thinks he would do well in the triangle.

Agreed with this being a solid offseason
unlike the Lakers lel

Given our lack of assets, and bad contracts (Bargs & Calderon to a certain extent), I'm kinda happy the Knicks didn't overpay anybody like they would do a couple of years back
