Oh yeah, also hear the #Pistons reached out to John Lucas III.

poor pistons losing Monroe and this is all they have to look forward to.

LOL - I saw the Nuggets had a meeting with Fransisco Elson earlier today, and Yahkouba Diawara.

The love affair people have with Thompson is beyond me.

He is an on-court coach and mentor. SVG loves him.

I'm seeing Love also signed for $100 Million.


Sam Amick@sam_amick
Can confirm Kevin Love will sign five-year, $110 million extension with the Cavs. Also, as was noted, it could be more if the cap is higher.

But JR Smith expects to part ways with Cavs. (I see the clippers or Dallas in his future)

 

[fishonjazz]

That is a really good deal for the Pelicans.

Ya, I like ajinca

So between Irving, Love, Varejao, and if Tristan signs for around 80 mil won't that be around 60 mil for just those 4 players? Some days I think I understand the salary cap, then other days it makes no f@$%#$ sense. How can they afford to sign Lebron with that much money tied up?

Word is the most hated man in Utah will get near max.

They can go over the cap for their own dude? (I have no idea, just guessing)

Who, kanter?

Thank god we traded him then. (In addition to the other reasons I'm glad we traded him)

Luxury tax?

AK retired, dude.

So the Spurs got Kawai on a max, green on a discount and are going to land Lma because a former spur employee agreed to take on Tiagos contract.

I was afraid that all the Spurs offspring (coaches, front office guys) were actually moles sent out to work for the evil Spurs empire.

Waiting for the Jazz to trade Derrick favors and Dante Exum for Boris Diaw next week.

That wouldn't happen.

The Spurs aren't dumb enough to trade for those guys now. Wait until they are all stars first. Sheesh.

I heard with luxury tax, they will be around 200 million. Blows GS's 180 million out of the water.

No hard cap = no cap and the big spenders win. It's pretty simple.

WTF?

Amir Johnson 12 million dollars per year?

If this is how bloated contracts are going to be this year, I don't even want to think about next year.

Jazz should go out and max Tobias Harris pronto.

I mean, I like A.Johnson, but god damn.

Bravo, Lindsey, Bravo. You knew the NW division would belong to the Thunder as long as they had Durrant and Westbrook. You found a way to make them beatable, handcuff their ability to get better, and created a fierce rivalry on your own squad.

Brilliant move sir. Brilliant.

Draymond Green has broken off talks with GS.

He could have 5 max offers before midnight.

Jazz should be one of them. You know, just to help the Warriors organization out.
Maybe a one year guaranteed and 3 years of players options.

Amir Johnson: 2/$24M Boston
Goran Dragic: 5/$90M Miami
Tyson Chandler: 4/$50M Phoenix
JYD Carroll: 4/$60M Toronto
Aminu: 4/$30M Potland
Danny Green: 4/$45M Slytherin

Utah Jazz....
