Interesting video about the process of free agency from the point of view of a player who just got annihilated by Joe Ingles...

Hassle of moving, hassle of juggling priorities in FA(money, fit, wife and family, etc.). Clippers didn't even try to get him back... seems like it was between Philly and Houston, he waiting until the end for HOU to offer him long-term deal but they didn't... Wife wanted him to go to BKN... 1st, 2nd and 3d option - BKN, she said. And in the next clip he was like... yah, it sucks wifes are like single moms for 9 months of the year and you want to make it easier on them... but I picked Philly... lol.

Another thing - he confirms that "we will think about free agency after the end of the season" narrative is BS. Said those conversations are being held throughout the year with the agents. I'm listening to his podcast right now and he goes further and confirms that the back channel conversations with other teams happen before FA actually starts.

I like JJ... this stuff is cool and really honest. He still has to call Joe Ingles his daddy, but I do like him.

Spotrac is a good site for contract info.
A lot of the mid-tier vet contracts are 1+1's - not just for the Jazz. Depending on what happens with Favs, Hood, Exum (and Burks), the development of Bradley, etc., some or all of the FA's might be let go next summer.

I checked that site, but wasn't able to find any info on team options. It does say that all contracts are guaranteed for the full amount though I'm not sure what that means necessarily.

Would've been better with less whining. But interesting nonetheless.
 
Something to consider when it comes to who the Jazz cut - Bolomboy is a Mark Bartelstein client. The Jazz might be done doing him any favors.

He has been around as an agent for years. He is the CEO of Priority Sports. I doubt the Jazz are going to let one player handling things poorly ruin a long standing professional relationship with an entire firm. Especially one that they will most likely want to be on good terms with for future free agencies.

Plus I think the agent has probably already received his commission when bolomboy signed with the jazz so if the jazz cut bolomboy then it wouldn't affect the agent anyway I think.

Why do people always use barometer? Why not say "How is that a thermometer of class", or ruler, clock, fuel gauge?

I think that using barometer puts too much pressure on people.

Because barometers measure atmospheric pressure, which tells you more than simply "what is". Air pressure patterns are used to forecast storms.

The NBA is so damn frustrating. For years Boston media and fans talked about getting hayward like he was theirs and the Jazz were wrongfully holding him. Now they have set their sights on Anthony Davis. Like Haynerd, Davis is still under contract with his current team, but no matter, the boston-centric media is pushing the stories about how the Pelicans had better trade with Boston soon. The constant stories will create pressure on AD and the Pelicans even if there was no pressure before.

David Stern envisioned a league with two marketable stars to a team, where most teams could make a convincing argument they could make the playoffs.

The league now is mess, where media, fans and players get bored in the season, teh offseason draws more attention than the games, and teh league is imploding into a handful of super teams and an unwitting farm system.

Adam Silver is riding The NBA haywagon down a hill, shouting "Look at me, I am going faster!" Painfully unawares of the cliff he is racing towards.

-Step off soap box.
