Free Agent Rumors Thread

I'd prefer Gobert playing 30 min. rather than him going 15 and Ayon getting 15, yeah no question.

He would foul out before he got to 30 minutes.

 

[Hantlers]

Who on the spurs would you say can't play defense.

Also keep in mind I said can't play defense, not was a great defender.

Matt Bonner, maybe.

 

[Stifle Tower]

He would foul out before he got to 30 minutes.

I say just let Gobert play as many minutes as he can. Don't worry about fouls. If he fouls out in 15 minutes, so be it. Favors can play 30+, Kanter can play some with Booker at PF.

Jason Smith to the Knicks 1 year 3.3 mil

Peyton Siva and Ish Smith were waived.

LOL @ Stephenson being the last cab off the rank.



I bet he's regretting the stunt he pulled during the playoffs now.

Chris Broussard ‏@Chris_Broussard 8m
Sources: Lance Stephenson accepts 3 yr, $27 million deal with Charlotte

Chris Broussard ‏@Chris_Broussard 7m
Last yr for Lance is team option

LOL @ Charlotte...


Seems like they're going for the playoffs the same as us. Let's see who gets there first & come out the better team by the end of next season.

So the Pacers reportedly offered Stephenson 5 years $44 million... = $8.8m per year on average.

He has now signed with CHA at 3 years $27 million = $9m per year (team option last year)



Hmmmm.. he's willing to go to CHA for $0.2million extra per year???



Somebody please explain to me the logic behind this.

Nope for the possibility to hit free agency again in his prime.

So you're saying the Pacers wouldn't have offered him the 3 year deal?????


That's ridiculous IMO.. why lose him just for not getting the extra 2 years? Bird's losing it IMO.

 

[fishonjazz]

I don't see a huge problem. I see Burke, Exum, and Burks as a three man guard rotation, and Hayward and Hood as a two person SF rotation.

This

 

[fishonjazz]

I guess I am not as high on Burks as a starter and Hayward as a starting SF. I think that's a downgrade from our starting SG and SF from last year.

Lol
hayward, burks > hayward jefferson.

Sounds like you might be a hater

I bet he doesn't want to play behind paul george and larry bird. hornet team looks pretty good in the east.

No they didn't.

After he refused to take 44 for 5, they made another offer for 4 years beginning at 7 per year. With 7.5% raises this would have given $31.3M over 4 years.

Yeah but that's my point though - Pacers is build to WIN NOW. They have a small window with West, plus the Heat has just been dismantled with the Cavs not yet at full strength.



To me this is the time for the Pacers to go all guns blazing and they really need to lock up Stephenson if they want to make another run. 3 years is good cos if they don't win it within the next 2-3, they can always just blow it up or simply reload.



Really don't understand what Bird is trying to do here....

 

[mellow]

So Jordan is pretty much still owning the NBA. He beat Jazz, Pacers and Larry Bird.

Saving payroll. They didn't want to strike a deal themselves unless it was favorable for the organisation. Now they're just gonna match it.

Bro, he's an unrestricted free agent. He's gone.

 

[Game6Conley]

Excellent move by Rich Cho and Michael Jordan. That contract is a bargain in this market. Lol at the Pacers, they're screwed now.

Yup. Bird screwed this up pretty, pretty bad.
