WTF is Sac doing? Instead of a matching a very reasonable 4/44 offer for Evans, they are giving Iggy 4/56? Out of their minds if this happens.

11 mil for Evans is not reasonable

Especially since I don't see that team actually competing. Iggy would be a nice pickup for a fringe playoff team, or one of the lower seeded playoff teams. Not a team like the Kings who have almost no shot at the playoffs this year.

 

[Rhal]

we simply disagree then, yeah he's a good guy buy IMO not worth that

Oh i'm not disagreeing they overpaid for him, I just don't mind that franchise overpaying for him.

Both those contracts are bad.

Do you get the feeling that Neil will sign someone completely from left field?

Like who? I think we've discussed most of the realistic guys.

He won't do nothing. He is just waiting for the best deal for the team. Olshey is an aggressive gm, we are in good hands

Dwight Howard, obviously!

I think asik is a very realistic opportunity

 

[magnifier661]

Dwight Howard, obviously!

Wouldn't that be funny?

Spencer Hawes time?

I like that Reke deal. It's a lot like Nic's.

 

[Blazinaway]

I like that Reke deal. It's a lot like Nic's.

overpay IMO

 

[B-Roy]

I like that Reke deal. It's a lot like Nic's.

Well....nobody said Nic was a bargain either!

 

[illmatic99]

It was market rate.

 

[santeesioux]

Robin Lopez isn't looking that bad right now tbh, especially over guys like Zaza and Kaman. I don't know if we'll be able to wait for Asik with DH being so indecisive.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Too bad Tony Allen is gone.

I thought maybe Olshey was waiting in the grass, hunting. I'm starting to think he fell asleep and will settle with whatever is left (Kaman, Zaza, etc). I can tell, these moves are exactly what LA had in mind.

The Rockets continue to gauge interest in Jeremy Lin and Omer Asik around the league. If they sign Dwight Howard, both players may be moved

fine with me, let these teams with cap load up big contracts on overall a weak talent pool IMO, this is where it's smart to be patient for the longer term,

Exactly right. Let other teams spend their money and overpay. When the money dries up, there will still be players on the market willing to settle for the vet min. We're not winning anything this year, so why handcuff ourselves with bad contracts?

im starting to fear our successful free agency is hinging on what Dwight does and I really didn't want that

be careful how you decide what "success" really is, are you a short term or longer term thinker?

 

[maxiep]

Patience guys. These other teams are blowing loads early. Give it time

Exactly right.

 

[RR7]

Oh son of a bitch Neil, we need a RF, not a LF. We're fucked.

 

[MickZagger]

Timberwolves signed Kevin Martin? Lets go after Budinger.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Timberwolves signed Kevin Martin? Lets go after Budinger.

They got Budinger signed as well.

 

[B-Roy]

Timberwolves signed Kevin Martin? Lets go after Budinger.

They signed both.

 

[maxiep]

Who would be a difference maker we could realistically get that would keep LA here? I can't think of a name. Therefore, I think he's gone. And if he's gone, why would we burden ourselves with a big contract that wouldn't be part of our future?

 

[MickZagger]

They signed both.

Shitty. Budinger's a baller.

 

[magnifier661]

It seems asik is #1 target; while dalembert is plan B

 

[craigehlo]

Asik can keep LA here. Dalembert likely won't make him happy.

Pek or Asik are the only big names left that can really get us to the next level at the center position. If we strike out on both, LA is gone by the trade deadline.
