2020 Free Agency Thread

Dwight Howard back to LA. Crazy I completely forgot about Howard as a backup C.

 

[craigehlo]

Trying to avoid tampering?

Pretty sure it wouldn't be tampering anyways since Howard is LA's own free agent.

 

[B-Roy]

Howard literally tweeted himself that he was coming back and now he's considering options? What the fuck is this dude on?

 

[TBpup]

Haha

Can we do a S&T and get Richaun Holmes out of that?

[B-Roy]

If headaches were a person, they would be Dwight Howard.

 

[wizenheimer]

is it possible that Portland won't use their MLE?

 

[DDolla]

LOL Kings just gave Fox 163m... really?

 

[MickZagger]

This free agency shit is wild

 

[Blazinaway]

I would say 99.9% likely they use MLE, don't think I have even seen one MLE signing yet league wide

Holy rainmaker Batman!!

Favors got the full MLE from the Jazz.

Wow!

3 years 30 million.

He was someone I would have liked here.

Ibaka, Favors, Wood.....doubt we get either.

So far, solid moves, but not a contender yet.

that figured, only Q was where'd he go

 

[B-Roy]

Really hoping we secure someone with the full MLE today. Would make a nice tradable contract later on as well.

Come on, you guys can get a free rap concert from Dame!

Sorry if I am falling behind, but what did the Blazers wind up doing with Gabriel and Hoard?

Nothing yet. That will likely come later. I expect Hoard on another 2-way, and Gabriel with a minimum.

Beat writers have sources as good as S2’s — none of them have broken any news.

Butt.

Cheeks.

I will surprise if Neil use that whole MLE on one player I think he will break it up.

Perhaps, but breaking it up is not what we need. Nice role player in Covington and very good backup Center in Kanter.....but this team needs someone that can really move the team forward. I think both Ibaka (veteran defense and ability to shoot) and Wood (great athleticism, energy, ability to shoot, and great length) could move Portland forward.

Right now they strike me as a team that could contend for HCA. Another good move and they move up closer to the Lakers/Clippers.

SAC cutting ties with Harry Giles, might be worth a shot if cheap, he's still just 22 and did some solid stuff last yr

I'd love to see NO pursue Giles. Bet he's another dive that Portland could get something useful out of.

Quite a bit of talent, just a huge injury risk. Also, he doesn't shoot '3's....at all.

I wouldn't mind to take chance on him.

I'd rather give him a shot on a relatively cheap contract then Hoard/Gabriel

I'd take him over Hoard. Gabriel has something....
