2016 Free Agency Thread

[JfizzleBlazer]

Definitely, I like Plums, but there aren't enough minutes to go around.

And i dont see us paying him market value next year with the contracts doled out.

Only way that might happen is if ezelis knees end up being shot and we terminate his deal next year.

Plums will probably garner at least 15 million/yr next year

I'd love him as a backup somehow. Total opposite of what ed davis brings out there. But you are correct.....never enough PT for 4 bigs

 

[Schilly]

Plumlee is too good, we must trade him ASAP.

 

[Harry's Raincoat]

Plumlee is too good, we must trade him ASAP.

Ha Ha!

Seriously. We could cut Dame's and CJ's average minutes down to 33 as primary guards. Turner will be the primary ball handler (backup PG) when Dame is out, not CJ. CJ will get most, if not all his minutes at SG. That's why we signed Turner.

Damian (33) Turner (15)
CJ (33) Crabbe (15)
Turner (15) Harkless (18) Crabbe (15)
Aminu (30) Davis (15) Vonleh (3)
Plumlee (19) Ezeli (19) Leonard (10)

I believe that we won't see these 6 frontcourt players on our team by January, maybe even not by start of camp. Too many players and not enough minutes.

*5 bigs

The frontcourt right now is set up with potentially six dudes taking up minutes.

Aminu/Davis/Vonleh
Ezeli/Plumlee/Leonard

I have no idea how Terry is gonna make that work.

Vonleh will never play outside of injuries.

Vonleh will never play outside of injuries.

I forgot to add Harkless, because if we retain him, it's likely he'll log some minutes at PF.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

 

[KeepOnRollin]

I am not sure how they calculate this but Batum actually has more negative votes than Crabbe.

 

[Natebishop3]

Sweet! Two guys in the top 6!

Actually, I think Lillard and McCollum might benefit the most from cutting their minutes; it might help their defense especially. I would like to see them cut back to 30 minutes.

 

[Boob-No-More]

I am not sure how they calculate this but Batum actually has more negative votes than Crabbe.

And Batum's contract is even more worser than Turner's. Their production is very similar, but Batum got $125 million to Turner's $70 million. The people who vote on this shit are simpletons. They look at PPG and cast their vote. These are the people who think James Harden is better than Kawhi Leonard.

Isn't Turner only $70 million over four? They have $75 million. I feel confident that subtracting $5 million makes him go way down the list of worst contracts!

 

[Chris Craig]

How is Conely not #1 on this list immediatley followed by Batum at #2

 

[Boob-No-More]

This was interesting to me.

That's just weird and seems almost vindictive - but why? No way in hell does 100-year old Manu fit in with the 76ers youth movement. Why overpay a guy you don't need - except to screw over his current team by forcing them to match. It's not like weakening the 2016-17 Spurs will benefit the 76ers in any way. They're in the Western Conference. So, it's not like they will be meeting in the playoffs.

So, why go out of their way to piss off the SAS front office? Seems pretty stupid to me and like deliberately setting yourself up for revenge toxic offer, or three, a few years down the road when all your young talent become RFAs.

Yeah, I thought he was $70 million/4.

They are overpaid, but they are all star level players.

im guessing they legitimately wanted him?

 

[Boob-No-More]

Really? I can't think of one single way he fits their plans. He's not the missing piece that will put them over the top, and would just take minutes away from the young guys they need to develop. I know they need guards, but someone a decade and a half younger would be a better fit on their roster.

[3RA1N1AC]

You know, the old crafty mentor type? And then trade him to a contender? I think they still need to blow some money too.

 

[DUB]

The 76ers are for the most part a very young roster, so Ginobili would be a great veteran presence in the locker room; show the young guys what it takes to win championships. Maybe Ginobili could also be a mentor for Simmons, help him with his finishing around the rim (Parker did wonders for Mills in this regard), help him become more aggressive scoring wise, and just generally help Simmons adjust to the pressures of the NBA. Don't forget 76ers head coach Brett Brown was an assistant with the Spurs for 10 years, so he knows what Ginobili brings to the table, and would feel that he can work well with him.

"Worst contracts in Free Agency 2016? Timofey Mozgov, Allen Crabbe and Chandler Parsons, according to readers."

I believe that the answer to you question is in bold type.

A month before Felton signed with the Clippers for the minimum, this major Dallas beatwriter wrote

Felton, who turns 32 on June 26, earned $4.54 million last season and could possibly double that figure once he becomes a free agent.

[riverman]

I'm so happy Felton is a Clipper...for Wes anyway

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Wow.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Wow.

He didn't turn it down. It wasn't officially offered yet. If they struck out on Mahinmi then maybe they would have...

 

[illmatic99]

Kevin Martin is still available. If he ends up landing a contract for the minimum or a room exception, the Crabbe deal should be looked at as a massive overpay.

Kevin Martin couldn't even stay healthy if you wrapped him in bubble wrap and locked him in a padded room.

Would you take KMart and his production for 20 -25 mpg in 65 games at the minimum, or AC and his production for 20-25 mpg in 80 games at 19 mil?

I get the AC signing and wanted it. But KMart is still out there. The clutter on our roster limits AC's production. His 10 ppg with decent defense and spacing is about as much as you can expect unless there's some movement in the roster.

If Miles plumlee gets 13M a year, Mason is gonna get 17M+ no question
