the nets have done this without giving up most of their playoff core (d'angelo russell aside)

What a quick bounceback from that legendary fleecing. Props.

Somebody check on Evol J

Free agent guard Terry Rozier plans to agree to a three-year, $58M contract with the Charlotte Hornets via sign-and-trade, league sources tell @TheAthleticNBA @Stadium.

OH MY GOD

that is.... lmaooooooooooooooooo

its bad

fully guaranteed

WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

ahaha

He’s their best player now! Definitely gonna push them from 15 wins to 19 wins next season.

Terry Rozier out here getting damn near Brogdon money, what a country

given the other options charlotte was going to have to looks at for pgs....i get it.

i get wanting to find a new PG, i dont get shelling out $20M per annum to a guy who's never shot above 40% or averaged more than 12 ppg yiiiiiiiiiiikes

Charlotte is gonna be capped out while not having a single top 100 player on their roster. I don’t know how that’s even possible.

JJ to the Pelicans I like that

oh rozier’s going to be terrible in all likelihood. the alternatives were worse.

thad young to bulls. nice move for them.

jj to pels is fantastic.

Fully prepared for Kawhi to Clippers, fully unprepared for Kawhi to Lakers

the magic are signing al farouq aminu for some reason.

sac signing dedmon and ariza huh

a lot of nice players getting sucked up by borderline teams.

yeah am im not sure it makes them any less borderline, either

rubio a los suns

brogdon to IND wowwwwwwwwwwwww

indiana is out here spending money

3 years 51 mil for Rubio??

phoenix suns!

Jeremy Lamb also to Indy. Tell me again why Charlotte is not bottoming out.

Bogdanovic to Utah, legit title contenders I think.

am i correct that brooklyn will be paying KD $41m to not play in 2019-2020?

Yup. There’s a more than decent chance this pairing is a complete train wreck especially now with KD being out for an entire year, and I am very much here for the drama

Knicks are furiously working on a sign-and-trade with Warriors for Quinn Cook

— Peter Vecsey (@PeterVecsey1) June 30, 2019

not lmaoing at Quinn Cook but man Knicks fans

The Knicks and owner Jim Dolan were not prepared to offer Kevin Durant a full max contract due to concerns over his recovery from the Achilles injury, league sources tell me and @wojespn. Knicks officials are in Los Angeles tonight, meeting with free agents such as Julius Randle.

Free agent forward Tobias Harris has agreed to a five-year, $180M contract to return to the Philadelphia 76ers, his agent and father, Torrel Harris of Unique Sports Management, tells ESPN.

— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) June 30, 2019

wow indy just blew away the market on brogdon.

i like it a heck of a lot better than rubio to phx!

if jimmy was going back to philly he would've already agreed by now no?

if they just gave the farm to harris it makes me think jimmy isn't coming back

jimmy def gone. miami or clippers prob.

hes trying to go to miami but they need to do a deal some reporter said on twitter

tell

Free agent Julius Randle has agreed to a three-year, $63M deal with the New York Knicks, CAA agents Aaron Mintz and Steve Heumann tell ESPN.

— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) June 30, 2019

wow that is a lot of money for tobias harris. one of my best friends played on his HS basketball team, I should see if he can get him to pay my loans

middleton also got big bucks

As of now, the only players to ever sign for more than Middleton's $178M deal are Russell Westbrook (5 yrs/$206.8M) and Stephen Curry (5 yrs/$201.2M).

Middleton was the 39th overall pick in the 2012 NBA Draft, making this the largest contract for a 2nd-round pick in NBA history. https://t.co/KKJgAaxQ86

so much for the kincks only blowing their cap space on 1-2 year deals

nice player movement all around this is what i like to see

lets get that jazz nuggets wcf

kawhi, butler, horford still out there

there was buzz on horford staying with the celtics wasn't there

it's been reported and denied but he's running out of places to go. i wonder if he's waiting for kawhi.
