2016 Free Agency Thread

[Chris Craig]

I was scared Cuban would get so desperate he would sign Crabbe to a max.

He still might

 

[santeesioux]

We should offer what we're offering to Pau to Dirk when Pau turns us down. With the shit going on in Dallas he might finally leave (but he won't).

 

[BonesJones]

I may be wrong, but I think the Bulls would be foolish to trade Butler, it'd be like us trading Dame last offseason...

I don't know... For that package they'd have to think about it. They'd be awful and likely get 2 top 5 picks next year. Imagine adding a Harry Giles and Jayson Tatum to a Brown/Valentine/Portis core, and then having some $70M in cap space and another high pick from Brooklyn the following year. That approach is more likely to help them build a contender than keeping Butler surrounded by a bunch of bleh.

 

[Blazinaway]

Courtney Lee to Knicks 4/48

 

[Chris Craig]

The nets might still, my gut says they will offer Crabbe something like 4/62.

Yeah they are waiting till we make one more signing then they are gonna drop a poison offer sheet on crabbe

 

[santeesioux]

Mahinmi to Wizards.

 

[Chris Craig]

Mahinmi to Wizards.

Ah fuck

 

[Boise Blazer]

If for nothing other than curiosity I wish there was some news on Larry Sanders

 

[Chris Craig]

Why don't the mavericks do the offer sheet on Barnes now, and get the Warriors while they have their pants down, waiting on Durant

The draft is such a crapshoot though, Butler is a proven all-NBA type player, those guys just don't grow on trees, if I were Chicago I'd be talking to him and asking what he wants around him. Chicago does have assets to make moves themselves.

 

[Schilly]

Mahinmi on a big contract would have been desperation.

 

[santeesioux]

64 mil for Mahinmi, glad we didn't pay that.

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Courtney Lee to Knicks 4/48

Damn. Thats a good deal for Lee.

 

[Chris Craig]

64 mil for Mahinmi, glad we didn't pay that.

Wow, yeah that's outrageous

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Damn. Thats a good deal for Lee.

That should be Crabbe's ball park.

 

[Natebishop3]

Damn. Thats a good deal for Lee.

Kinda brings crabbe's value into focus though.

 

[0-Our!]

Damn. Thats a good deal for Lee.

Meh. It's Lee, HE should b thrilled

 

[Natebishop3]

That should be Crabbe's ball park.

If lee can get 12 and he's a pretty limited role player, I think crabbe will get more.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

He's not a limited role player when he plays us... *Memphis flashbacks*

This last season he looked like ass.

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

If lee can get 12 and he's a pretty limited role player, I think crabbe will get more.

Hes like a perfect fit on that starting 5. Great deal for both parties.

What do they have for a bench?

Rose / ?
Lee / ?
Melo / ?
KP / ?
Noah / ?

 

[Schilly]

One thing I think is pretty clear is Neil has a pretty clear vision of the players Terry needs for his style of coaching. A player like Mahinmi would be virtually worthless to Stotts, he wouldn't use him.

 

[ripcityboy]

Allen and Olshey leaving the Parsons negotiations:

Justin holiday, langston galloway, lance thomas, hernangomez is coming over.

They have a room exception to use.

Not great, but obviously they arent done. I could see rose and melo convincing some guys to take a one year vet minimum

 

[Cippy91]

Fall back and sign our RFA's. That's what I think should happen. A big can happen later with a trade. Evan turner is an upgrade to the team despite what others think. Just bounce now, focus on the RFA's

I think they still have $10M-$15M in cap space.

We still have $8M that we should use.

Because the clock wouldn't start until end of moratorium.
