someone will give kj mcdaniels at least $30 million right? philly probably will match it but it's nice to see someone get one over on hinkie anyway
― J0rdan S., Friday, 9 January 2015 16:53 (nine years ago) link
yeah he was v savvy to negotiate his deal like that

bold risk taking for sure
― lag∞n, Friday, 9 January 2015 16:56 (nine years ago) link
if i was a second rounder i'd pretty much try and take that bet every single time
― J0rdan S., Friday, 9 January 2015 16:57 (nine years ago) link
you're only really negotiating away one year (the second year) and the upside is pretty enormous ... & even if you bomb in year 1 and get released you can still bounce around or go to euro and come back balling like hassan whiteside
agreed
― lag∞n, Friday, 9 January 2015 16:58 (nine years ago) link
only downside is teams have less incentive to develop you
And risk of significant injury

From the other thread:
the lakers have only finished below .500 13 times in 66 seasons
They're making up for lost time!
BTW I like how in the Lance GIF he pops up and the chyron flips over at the exact same time.

Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA · 30s 30 seconds agoPhoenix is sending Boston a future draft pick for Brandan Wright, absorbing Wright into an exception, league source tells Yahoo.
― Clay, Friday, 9 January 2015 22:36 (nine years ago) link
this maybe makes the rondo deal look not so sorry for boston in the long run?
― Clay, Friday, 9 January 2015 22:37 (nine years ago) link
wow they got him for a future 1st rd pick?
― pursuit of happiness (art), Friday, 9 January 2015 22:37 (nine years ago) link
i know he's not great on defense but i'm kind of surprised. maybe i overvalue him from his time in dallas
― pursuit of happiness (art), Friday, 9 January 2015 22:38 (nine years ago) link
well he's a free agent, so this is a great haul for the Cs
― Matt Armstrong, Friday, 9 January 2015 22:39 (nine years ago) link
not sure where Wright fits in the rotation, maybe plumlee rides the bench?
― Matt Armstrong, Friday, 9 January 2015 22:40 (nine years ago) link
xp duh/touche. forgot his status, this makes a lot more sense
― pursuit of happiness (art), Friday, 9 January 2015 22:42 (nine years ago) link
split time w plum and also could play the four if they want to go big with a morris at the three
― Spottie, Friday, 9 January 2015 22:44 (nine years ago) link
Boston is nearing an agreement to send Jeff Green to Memphis for Tayshaun Prince and a first-round pick, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.

― Matt Armstrong, Friday, 9 January 2015 22:51 (nine years ago) link
alex len has been playing v well and plums is no slouch so this move does seem a little panicky to me tho
― Clay, Friday, 9 January 2015 22:53 (nine years ago) link
plums may have maxed out in the first 2/3 of last season i think
― Spottie, Friday, 9 January 2015 23:00 (nine years ago) link
Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA 3m3 minutes agoIf Green deal is finalized tonight, Boston GM Danny Ainge will potentially have 11 first-round picks over the next four years.

yeeeeeezus
i love draft picks
― lag∞n, Friday, 9 January 2015 23:01 (nine years ago) link
btw just read that with protections theres a good chance that wright pick turns into two seconds in a couple years fwiw
― lag∞n, Friday, 9 January 2015 23:02 (nine years ago) link
a high second rounder is good
― Matt Armstrong, Friday, 9 January 2015 23:03 (nine years ago) link
I could see the wolves being good in a hurry tho
