2016 Free Agency Thread

[BonesJones]

After Pau turns us down, Greg Monroe, come on down.

Nope. Nikola Vucevic should be the next option. Then Gorgui Dieng. Then Mahinmi.. Then maybe Monroe.

 

[santeesioux]

I kind of hope Durant goes there now to get him out of the West and make OKC irrelevant and have Westbrook leave next year.

 

[Chris Craig]

Dislike button pushed

 

[Mediocre Man]

After Pau turns us down, Greg Monroe, come on down.

Turner and Mahinmi....both overpaid. Championship

 

[illmatic99]

Seriously. He went to BOS over about 1.5 mil per year?

 

[santeesioux]

The Hawks wouldn't pony up an extra 6mil and that is why he left, what a cheapskate franchise. Good job, Dwight, have fun being irrelevant.

 

[BonesJones]

wow, nice coup for BOS, do they still have cap for Durant?

Yeah, Amir Johnson has $12M in ungaurunteed money and Jerebko has $5M ungaurunteed. They'd have to waive both.

 

[Schilly]

No he went because they replaced him with Dwight before he decided.

 

[theprunetang]

Seriously. He went to BOS over about 1.5 mil per year?

Maybe he didn't like Atlanta signing Dwight. I don't really think the two of them would play together well.

 

[Blazinaway]

Nope. Nikola Vucevic should be the next option. Then Gorgui Dieng. Then Mahinmi.. Then maybe Monroe.

have no reason to think Dieng is on the market, he payed really well for them last yr and he's cheap - gonna have to pony up for him if you want him

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

After a couple small trades, yes

 

[Chris Craig]

We will probably miss out on all of them, and sign David Lee out of extreme desperation

Kinda bad look on Horford as well. He's clearly out for the money

 

[Chris Craig]

Yeah he is staying put in minny

 

[Blazers Roy]

I'm happy for the Celtics and Stevens.

 

[BonesJones]

They have Towns at Center. They need shooting. I'm thinking a Meyers sign and trade would get it done. Maybe throw in the CLE 1st Round Pick. Would give us $13M in cap space after the deal. That's pretty close to what Gasol would want.

 

[santeesioux]

I bet we will see Portland sign a big now with the floodgates opening on the big man market.

 

[Schilly]

So when has Olshey signed a player out of desperation?

 

[Chris Craig]

I bet we will see Portland sign a big now with the floodgates opening on the big man market.

Yeah we will settle for Mahinmi

 

[Chris Craig]

So when has Olshey signed a player out of desperation?

Evan Turner, yesterday

 

[Mediocre Man]

Kinda bad look on Horford as well. He's clearly out for the money

Not at all. He was insulted ATL didn't offer max.

 

[santeesioux]

Yeah we will settle for Mahinmi

I'm still keeping that Gasol dream alive, homey.

But yeah, I'm surprised we didn't see Woj tweet that we had signed Mahinmi five seconds after the Horford news like yesterday.

 

[Blazinaway]

Yeah we will settle for Mahinmi

I'd settle for that, he's a very solid C and very good defender. as long as he's not crazy expensive

 

[Schilly]

I don't think that was desperation signing. Desperation signings don't happen in the 1st 12 hours. Some people don't like the signing so they label it as desperation, but clearly Olshey made those arrangements as a plan B to Parsons. He fits our needs. A desperation move is last minute "crap I need to sign someone". I know a group of you will continue to call it that , but regardless that's out of character for Neil.

 

[Chris Craig]

But yeah, I'm surprised we didn't see Woj tweet that we had signed Mahinmi five seconds after the Horford news like yesterday.

Yeah, I just see him going to the Spurs. You think Durant wants to play with Lazy ass LaMartha Aldridge with Ginobli retiring...Durant is going to sign elsewhere and Spurs will give Gasol his lollipop

 

[tester551]

I'm not so sure. Between Boston & Atlanta - I think Boston is a better situation.

 

[santeesioux]

I really hope Durant goes to Boston, The Spurs are going nowhere but down, OKC might lose Chuckbrook next summer, and going to the Warriors would make him seem like a total beta.

I would love that.. Give the east another contender and take one away from the west. We'd be gunning for home court advantage. The Clippers will get worse by losing Rivers, Green, and Aldrich, and I don't think the Thunder would be better than us. We would compete for a 3rd seed.

 

[Chris Craig]

Yeah I think if he leaves OKC, it's to go be besties with Tom brady

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Danny Ainge cementing his legacy.... of making people really hate him.
