i have something to say about the offseason THE 2016 NBA OFFSEASON

Tim MacMahon
ESPN Staff Writer

Text message from Chandler Parsons on why he chose the Grizzlies: "I really believed in Coach Fiz. Nobody in the league has coached better wings than him. I trust [assistant coach J.B. Bickerstaff] with my life. They have nobody like me, and their veteran, experienced players are a perfect fit with me.

"Toughest decision of my life though. Portland is incredible."

Carlisle maybe the reason no one wants to sign in Dallas?

oh?

just spitballin

Dwight 3/70 to the hawks

not bad!

DWIGHTLIENS

...whos gonna get horford?

horford not coming back, oooooooo....

would be nice symmetry if he went to houston

3 years is smart

Darell Arthur 3/23 to stay w Nugs

Jeff Green 1/15 w orlando lol he thinks he's gonna get paid NEXT year?

NBA Bulletin @TheNBABulletin
These 2 are getting a combined $102M. They both combined for 21 points in the Finals. Amazing.

^^^ strip clubs

A third of your cap on the 19th best point guard

just like everyone predicted, mike conley is the highest paid player in nba history

that is a crazy deal

...whos gonna get horford?

So the grizzlies are spending roughly 80 million on 4 starters. And will win 48 games.

conley's PER rankings at PG season-by-season since '08-'09, according to hollinger:

13
14

there's no way wade leaves miami right

seems like a major long shot. his agent is playing the game tho

apparently they super lowballed him with their first offer maybe he got mad

I mean this has happened two years running with his agent leaking shit about his dissatisfaction, but it's the first time I can recall actual suitors being named

Listen someone said up thread we were warned all year that this was gonna be wild but goddamn this shit is LIT

Wades not going anywhere

That moz.gov contract is some serious mismanagement

Clay you will enjoy and also kind of hate the Evan turner experience but I think he will be a cultural hit in pdx

lowe zing

And so he were are, in 2016, with the Knicks building a team designed to make the 2012 conference finals.

lol just scrolling through this thread waiting for clays reaction to the turner deal

i'm actually pretty excited about dwight. he seemed to want a better situation and the hawks are def a better org than houston or la.

think id rather have horford

yeah not even close

really struggling to figure out what portland cld possibly be thinking w this turner deal

he does a reasonable impression of a backup pg for one season and now hes making ~$20m a year

Sad to lose horford but also sick of getting manhandled by dudes like Tristan Thompson. I'm not sure if I'd rather have sap and horf or sap and Dwight

srsly, the deals this year are just the most twisted combo of crazy cap inflation and not that many quality players out on the market. im still trying to remember that the cap is ~30% higher than in years' past, but even factoring that in, some of these deals are just fucking bad. especially some of these 10mil+ deals for backups who will never be more than backups.

i've been trying to figure out what olshey (who i generally think is a really underappreciated and canny GM) was even thinking with the turner thing and i can't figure it out at all. i guess when chandler spurned them he panicked? had to spend the money somewhere. but you'd think you could get turner at like 4/50 even in this climate idk.

hearing baze and hawks agreed to 4/70
