Paul George and Other FA signings

[Jack Strop]

Free agents aren't waiting for Lebron to make a decision. They're gobbling up what little money is out there. Probably a good sign for those wanting us to keep Favors and Exum.

Paul George is staying with OKC: 4 years and $137M
Another FA spurns Utah! Sorry, Donovan. "Push-off P" isn't your best friend.

Chris Paul gets 4/$160m with Houston

Ariza going to the Suns for $15m on a 1 yr deal.

Ilyasova signs with Milwaukee for 3/$21m

McDermott to Pacers

DeAndre Jordan gets 1yr/$24m. Let's hope Favors doesn't think this is a comp.

Joe Harris re-signing with Nets

Barton stays with Nuggets

Durant signs 1/1 deal for $30.5M. Gives the Warriors a discount. I read his deal allows GS to use the taxpayer exception.

 

[Jack Strop]

Utah has a meeting set up with Favors tomorrow in Atlanta.
Also meeting with Exum, but I didn't see a date cited.

 

[Shad]

Gay back to Spurs for a 1 year 10 mill deal.

 

[Jack Strop]

OKC also re-signed Grant. As it stands, they'd have payroll/tax penalty costs of >$315m next season. Absolutely crazy.

Have to think Carmelo is being shopped.

Not surprised with all the 1yr deals. Players and teams maneuvering for the free agency lollapalooza next summer.

Enes Kanter trolling the Lakers.

He just earned back a point of respect in my book. Now at -99.

 

[enchilada_style]

Big fan of Enes for the first time in a long time

 

[tleikheen]

Ilyasova signs with Milwaukee ,does that signal Parker can move on

And

Phoenix for who knows what reason spends $15 million on Ariza ,that means no run on Exum OR Favors by the Suns

Hezonja maybe to the Knicks ...slim hope the Jazz go after him

 

[Chargers Jazz Angels]

Hezonja maybe to the Knicks ...slim hope the Jazz go after him

sad news unless Hezonja is doing the rounds

It's nice that PG decided to stay with OKC. Feels like a win for all small market teams.

Agreed. And as much of an ego the Westbrook, there's some vindication that he can play with other superstars too. Whether that's a victory or not, I don't know.

 

[jope]

Also feels good that okc just hamstrung themselves for years to a team that couldn’t beat a rookie led team of no all-stars. They are slated to pay the largest luxury tax in NBA history for that team.

 

[Engorged On Unborn Gore]

PG is dumb. He deserves to Play with Westbrook.

I came on to say basically same thing. I hope this puts that " players don't want to play with Westbrook " narrative to rest.
