2020 Free Agency Thread

[Chris Craig]

If Millsap goes back to Denver (which they need now), and we miss out on Ibaka and Wood, it gets pretty thin after that in terms of an impact player at an MLE level.

Yeah...and that sucks

Fuuuuck how the hell the Lakers get Montrez Harrell for so cheap!!

It’s the NBA’s darling Lakers. What did you expect?

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

That's why they're saving their money!

 

[AldoTrapani]

FML.. This just puts a damper on our good free agency news day.

How about Bobby Portis? Brought him up a few days ago. He's a guy that nobody is talking about. The way dollars are flying, there are some guys that are going to fall through the cracks.

It’s cause he sucks.

 

[LayneStaley]

Crowder, Millsap, Ibaka.

After all the years of being cursed I don’t think it’s asking too much to land one of those

 

[TBpup]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

 

[B-Roy]

Where is this money coming from????

 

[illmatic99]

how are they paying more than MLE

 

[TBpup]

Where is this money coming from????

I believe that is the MLE with max raises each year? Seems too high though.

there will be IMO some decent guys who can be had cheap, guys like Portis, JaMychal Green and Crowder still available as is Bjelica

Wood gone
Grant gone (which puts Millsap back at Denver)
Gallinari gone
Harrell gone
....it's getting thin.

 

[TBpup]

That makes more sense.

 

[illmatic99]

Wood gone
Grant gone (which puts Millsap back at Denver)
Gallinari gone
Harrell gone
....it's getting thin.

why would grant going back to DEN affect millsap?

 

[B-Roy]

how are they paying more than MLE

I bet it’s a sign and trade as part of the Ariza deal.

 

[Titan]

That deal makes more sense, but sucks he is going to the rockets, especially after reading clutchfans all nut over him today

 

[illmatic99]

oh hell no. Blake Griffin to Denver?

 

[Wizard Mentor]

why would grant going back to DEN affect millsap?

Grant's not going back to Denver, hence they need to re-sign Millsap - and they can pay him more than we can, as I understand it.

 

[Titan]

That makes more sense.

Ok yeah I get that now

 

[TBpup]

why would grant going back to DEN affect millsap?

Because they have a huge hole at PF now with Grant gone. So they bring back Millsap instead of letting both go.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

It’s cause he sucks.

He's better than anything it looks like will otherwise be left for us....

 

[blazerkor]

This makes sense that he would get more than the MLE. Too bad he's going to a dumpster fire. That being said, if the Rockets can get young pieces and picks for Harden and Russ, then it could be an ideal situation for him down the road.

 

[illmatic99]

Grant + Plumlee to Detroit for Blake. jesus

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Crowder, Millsap, Ibaka.

After all the years of being cursed I don’t think it’s asking too much to land one of those

Millsap has been sapped.

 

[illmatic99]

Because they have a huge hole at PF now with Grant gone. So they bring back Millsap instead of letting both go.

Read that as Grant to DEN. my bad

 

[illmatic99]

fuck me, we overpaid the hell out of Derrick Jones. that's who we spent our MLE on?
