2017 NBA OFFSEASON

they're also in the western conference

though i guess its thibs so the starting lineup will play the entire game regardless of when in the season it is

jrue holiday 5/126 to stay with NOLA. absurd overpay obv but iirc their cap situation meant they had to overpay to keep him or they'd be left with no options at PG. he's still surprisingly young (26)

other people who are surprisingly only 26: kawhi, rubio

they should just make wiggins into a harden-in-okc style 6th man on that team - he only brings scoring and i'm not sure he's even the #2 scorer in that lineup

gallinari's asking price is reportedly 4/100 😬

NOLA is becoming the Nu-Clippers, a purgatory where lottery picks live out their futile lives until they can escape.

gallo's one of those players who's not possible to sign to a fair contract because he has all the overvalued skills and not the undervalued ones

WHAT

gallo does all the important things on offense (shoots well, gets fouled a LOT and makes his free throws, is very much above average at creating his own shot. and his defense is solid tho not as great as pre-ACL. mediocre rebounder and passer.

honestly a healthy gallo is probably worth something close to 4/100, but we haven't really seen healthy gallo so it's defintely too much. i'd love to see denver keep him in the range of 3/60 or 4/75

the other thing gallo does well, which is just a part of his super efficient offensive style, is he never turns the ball over. just a very reliable good player when healthy

also he is my beloved son

i think he's a good player but i don't think he's worth more than 20% of cap, is what i'm getting at

i predict he will not get that much money

its really hard to build a contending team unless you're paying some guys less than they're worth, which only really happens with guys who are worth more than a max and guys on rookie/first contracts that were signed before they broke out. free agents like gallo who are good but not worth more than a max are the most dangerous signings.

^ shld apply for knicks gm job

reddick 1/23 to 76ers

huh

Kind of like it

They need shooting and a couple veterans who know what the fuck is going on

Btw if Danny doesn't sign hayward or make a real trade this summer I'm going to sit outside his house every day until he gets it together

danny has made good offers and teams r turning him down in favor if chis dunn lol

Should be on that hoarders show tbh

ppl might be afraid of Danny now bc he is a known swindler

Smart move for philly. They have money to spend but don't want to cripple themselves w long deals. Solid vet, will allow them to run some offense and his gravity will be important for the youngsters slashing

that reddick contract intrigues me.

that reddick contract intrigues me.

Free agent Amir Johnson has agreed to a one-year, 1M deal with Philadelphia, agent Kevin Bradbury tells ESPN.

philly overpaying short term for vets

wonder what other offers reddick was looking at mustve not been much at this stage in his career youd think hed be looking long term, maybe he thinks he has as bounce back season in him

reddick certainly could have gotten more years/guaranteed money (from phi if he wanted!), makes me think he wants to see how next years free agency shakes out and chase a ring.

and btw good for amir squeezing out $11m considering he can't really move

Inside Wolves echo chamber paying an extra 5m/yr to have Teague over Rubio feels really horrible and inexplicable but there's definitely part of me that's aware that the Wolves lose 36783421 close games every season because when teams actually play real defence (which they would in the playoffs/if we were good) having a non-shooter at PG is really bad

i think it's okay. rubio is more valuable than teague on the right team but the wolves ceased to be that team with their other upgrades

i know no one wants to admit it but rubio is a pretty limited player.

If he could play like he did the back half of the season then that's not true. But if he just plays to his averages then yeah I agree (most likely).

maybe redick is contemplating retirement. hes 33 and has media podcast etc interests

I read he wants to play 15 seasons

If the nuggets sign Millsap that's kind of brilliant imo

Reading jingles 4/52 to stay

Golden State offered Andre Iguodala a 3-year, $45 million deal and he's deliberating, league sources tell ESPN. No options are attached.

seems about right. they may have to move him after year 2 to makeroom for klay contract

In addition to GS's offer, Andre Iguodala deciding between multi-year deals from Houston, San Antonio, Sacramento, league sources tell ESPN.

have a hard time believing any of those teams offered him substantially more. and lol if he goes to the kings then ooooooookay.

Sources close to Andre Iguodala reporting agreed to terms to return to the bay....
