So who signs KCP and for how much.

their defense is atrocious.

INets might throw him a big contract after Washington matches Otto's offer but hopefully they take their sweet time (collusion time) and wait until tmrw night so we have 24 hours to full-court press KCP

I don't think he's getting anywhere near the max now--his leverage is gone--but Brooklyn still might do something like a 3+1 for 60 million. Can't turn down that for a one year offer.

Bradley would be more expensive to resign next year, we actually TOOK ON salary in that deal, and just gave Langston Galloway 3/21 for no apparent reason. that move also hard capped trm because it was more than the MLE.

this HAS to mean youth movement and i pray to god its because they really believe in Ellenson, Stanley, and Kennard. Kennard basically has to be ready to start in 18/19 for this not to look super dumb. for that matter we also dont have a 3 unless the coaches are ready to start Stanley. Tobias is best at the 4 and Ellenson has to play now. so Leuer gotta go.

SVG loved Marcus, so something else must be coming. Im hoping its moving Leuer.

> Im hoping
>its moving Leuer.

and i dont know why they signed the basement projection for their 1st rd draft pick

its all a bit odd

Boston just lost their best defender....They couldn't trade away one of the many SF's they had to create max money for Hayward? I'm not sure I would have made that deal....

Crowder is on a very team friendly contract and I'm sure Boston was looking for more in exchange for that reason.

C's are faced with re-signing IT and Smart next summer - I doubt they sign the latter but they already have replacements on hand with Jaylen/Tatum and 2 lottery picks next summer. Their entire plan is to keep costs controlled by signing top talent to max deals and then surrounding them with high talent on cost controlled deals via the draft.

>We usually do this once he go >>>> 300 for phone users.
>

have all sorts of money to go at KCP.

Sucks this couldn't have happened a little earlier, would've killed for the Wolves to take a shot at him.

Boston moves Bradley for the Hayward deal, but they pick up Morris.
They say Bradley only had one year left at 7M, I think. Morris has 2 years at 10M, I think I heard.
So where's the cap relief?

It's not about the full contract - it's about what they have to spend this year.

this gives them room to give Heyward his max.

fixed

.

thunder making some big upgrades from last year...oladipo/sabonis to george & patterson, plus felton. still not touching the top 3 in the west, but an upgrade

I know he's had injury struggles but with what some of these dudes is getting out here this is an absolute steal

would have liked to see the clips take a stab at him

They could play Fultz and all wings everything, switch everything, and be ready to make a really serious run at the warriors in 2-3 years. They're going to try to do it anyway with smart--I'm not even sure they're going to chase the midget that hard, and they shouldn't.

This draft was their chance to get a guy who could drive the offense, provide the scoring they need, still fit into the defensive scheme. And if they really needed that other wing, they've got the Brooklyn pick and an excellent chance to draft luka or porter next season,

They fucked up.

I think that trading Avery Bradley this turns the Hayward pickup into a lateral move or even a step backward. Having the best defensive guard in the league on your team is a factor that can propel your contending team to a championship level, and Bradley is the best defensive guard in the league.

I would've traded Smart *and* Crowder before losing Bradley.

Whatever.

and neither will we (Pistons)

he is getting a 200% raise next year

he gives them front court versatility...and bradley was gonna get a max deal. i think the dropoff from him to smart is less than the increase from hayward to bradley

so they're moving the anderson contract but what else is NY getting?

got PAID.

$228 million extension through 2023.

if he's maxing out in the mid-40s that's going to be much more common when westbrook, kawhi, pg, etc. get new deals, and whenever kd decides he's done serving.

That's whathe all the sites were reporting

and texas don't have state tax? he's caking

Not bad I guess.

It fills a positional need.
Carroll is overpaid but nets have the room
And get a 1st (lottery protected) and 2nd for it.

Carroll gets reunited with Atkinson

good move. nets aren't doing anything in the next 2 years so it's not like he's really clogging anything up, they get an extra pick, & could always flip him in a year & a half to a fake contender looking to add depth

Makes sense, as we still didn't have a starting center.

Zaza was about as good as he was expected to be, not better (like, say, McGee). So he gets a slight pay bump, with hopes that he can sign one more big contract somewhere after this.

good for zaza.

I don't really like this move. Still a 40% shooter but he's been dropping off significantly since his first couple seasons with the Clips and he would seem to be inconsistent with the "look at how good the defense will be, though" moves.

at this point, he's a poor man's Zach Lavine

CJ Miles gets 3/25 with a player option in the final year.

wow, good deal for CJ...gonna help w/the spacing that left w/patterson

.

getting more over the same period of time. How the hell is Otto worth over $100m?

Sure, young buck! Gget paid if and while you can but DAYUM... How the hell is Otto worth over $100m?

I don't see it...

than Hardaway currently does with the Knicks. It's entirely possible Porter will regress and get worse since he in effect was playing in a contract year last year and perhaps there is some small glimmer of hope Hardaway will improve upon how he played for the Hawks last year, but based on their recent bodies of work, the Porter contract makes a ton more sense than the Hardaway deal, especially since the Knicks probably could have spent roughly $10-$15 mil less for the overall deal to 'win' him from the Hawks.

ive been saying since he came out that his work ethic will carry him to a lot of improvement over time

hes a legit starting NBA 2 guard right now

the only negative on him is that averaging 20 ppg over 5 games could mean 33, 7, 25, 11, 24 instead of consistent even output. been that way since Michigan. it evens out well over time, but there will be 4/17(1/7) nights

and became a better team through acquiring more depth for their bench. Porter ain't helping them win a damned thing but some regular season games.

Will still suck. Seems like it makes more sense not to lock up 18 million for the next 4 years, especially assuming we trading melo

Hardaway, Jr.
KP
Hernangomez
(And the young French dude if he can play)

They're gonna have to do it the old fashioned way by continuing to draft well and grabbing depth through free agency.

Ain't no star free agent heading to NYC anytime soon. I can't see it.

I'll fucking take it.

Looks like the market dried up for him with that late entry into UFA...but as you said, we'll fucking take it and run.

He's such a good fit - fills our biggest need at the 2, huge defensive addition, great in transition on the wings, by all accounts an extremely hard worker who at 24 will be very relatable and impressionable on the younger kids, and you have to figure he gets into the high 30's at min with Lonzo setting him up.

I'll be surprised if we don't use the MLE on Rajon and call it a day. Ganguli (LA times lakers beat writer) mentioned last week that FO had reached out to Kobe regarding Rondo and he only had glowing things to say - additionally, he was the one vet in Chicago who stood up for the young kids and had their backs.

He got 10 mil in Sac and 14 last year. Surely he's worth at least 8 right?

After they overplayed their hand and the market dried up like you said

We offered the remaining cap space on a 1 year deal to Hill, Waiters, and now KCP. The latter took it because of the timing and fortunately for us may be the best fit due to his 3 and D ability and age.

not a long term deal
a shooter for lonzo
get to appease lebron/klutch


perfect deal really.

i thought they signed KCP

He was right on the border of top 1/3 in the league on set shooting and was good coming off screens/hand-offs as well. That bodes well for his production with Lonzo feeding him in those spots.

He was really poor when attacking rotations and his shot selection can leave something to be desired.

BW characterizing him as "a shooter" was a bit much

Which is the league average. Regardless I agree that labeling him as a "shooter" is silly lol, but I do believe his numbers will go up for the reasons I mentioned above - I think he'll come up to the high 30's from 3 with the same or more attempts as last year per game (6.2)

for SGs it's closer to 38-39

this past season his 3p% ranked 50th out of the 60 qualified players at his position

http://www.espn.com/nba/statistics/player/_/stat/3-points/sort/threePointFieldGoalPct/position/shooting-guards

but yeah, it should improve with a better PG feeding him

Even then, he'd likely be our best shooter lol

Guess I have some motivation to keep my eyes on the Lakers to see how good this guy is.

hope he can parlay this into something long term

4/80 from us probably looks a little better than it did last week

langston "hard cap" galloway was the difference there

Smart

Definitely a cheaper replacement for Howard. Still has definitely had a weird career.

Eric gordon can't be the centerpiece unless we getting rid of Noah and we can't take back Ryan Anderson under no circumstances.

And at least 1 1st rounder obviously

With nothing but those players coming back..which is a garbage deal unless they're just hitting the reset button.

But how they gonna make such a big franchise trade with no real GM in.

So I'm reading rumors the Knicks and Rockets are potentially involved in a four way trade to get Carmelo Anthony on the Rockets.

Has a four way trade ever occurred before? The logistics involved sound quite complicated.

I will be amazed and shocked if the Knicks front office don't Knicks things up and get screwed in the end.

Edit: it was 5 teams, 13 players:

really REALLY liked what he gave us in the playoffs, and I thought after the KCP deal it sounded like we had more of a shot to get him for Spurs money, but I guess not

.

play and sign him for whatever he requests. After all, he was arguably the most consistent and productive player after Kawhi and certainly post Kawhi injury.

The problem is that he will be turning 28 next season and has limited NBA (playing big minutes) experience. He wasn't nearly as impressive during the regular season so it's really tough to evaluate and determine his future.

I'm sure he wants to maximize his future earnings as this may be his one and only chance to land a lucrative deal. I don't fault him one bit for that. The Spurs are cash strapped and imo, still need to invest some $ in a rim protector. They're really not in a position to overpay Simmons.

Tough spot. I wish Simmons all the best if he signs somewhere else though.

best of luck to him

i was assuming he was gone when gay came on board but gay's not even cheaper.

Probably a good thing.

didn't make me too happy when I saw this news after work last night. Most of the article I skimmed on the dude appear to be positive, so I suppose there's some room for muted hope.

With the way David Griffin pulled himself from contention, I have the worrying feeling this dude was hired because he won't do too much to rock the boat of dysfunction that is the Knicks, which doesn't make me too happy.

I hope the Knicks don't have to give up draft picks as compensation to hired this dude and it's strictly money from Dolan's checkbook. Also curious to see if this means anything in terms of Carmelo Anthony moving on from the team.

It's not like they need him to do anything more than Deron Williams last year.

The post return payout from ^^ this agenda is priceless.

Now we've got some insurance in case Ky leaves. TJ Williams is hopefully signed and plays in on our dleague team. Ky starting with DRose backing him up running the fuck out of the second unit, and TJ developing.

This isn't enough help but we're screwed anyway so might as well start trying to gun for a title while prepping in case everything is dismantled next offseason.

. Dude played like a selfish ball hog last season to land this contract. Spools have played more like a point guard

they'd been better off hollering @ butter.

Nicholson getting waived and stretched

crabbe 18 million a year now more like 12 million for BK
They have a 2/3 they can switch in a bit.


How does this clear space for the Portland deal to help get harden to Houston?

I loved watching Lin last year and if he stayed healthy all year they could've maybe made a run at the 8 seed, they played real well down the stretch when he got rolling.

BUT, their backcourt now is surprisingly deep, and due to Lin's age, and him having one of the biggest bargain contracts in the league, I can see him fetching a nice haul come deadline time. They will give D-Russ every chance to the be man, with Whitehead backing him up and a rotation at the 2 of Crabbe/Levert/Skilpatrick (unless he goes)

Just runs and take any small wins you can get.

None of the marquee free agents that will create a crazy buzz, but this is pretty damn good

Does this set up the Melo trade to Houston?

I think this means hes URFA next season.

So hell be betting on himself big time.

Hopefully he takes advantage then bounces on Mavs


https://twitter.com/ChrisBHaynes

that said this magnifies colangelo's fuck up, the sixers got nothing for him.

He screwed up not taking the reported 4/70 offer.

so he would need to make 21 million a year on his next contract over 4 years to make up for this years lost 13 milly
