Gabriel has something....

 

[Natebishop3]

I have a feeling that because it has been so quiet and we haven't had our usual signing right out of the gate that Neil is chasing someone big.

Ringers crossed my friend....fingers crossed.

CJ about 32M/year

Fox about 33M year

Yeah and right after Ibaka commits with Toronto we get

"Portland has agreed to a 3 year/30 million dollar contract with Markieff Morris"

 

[MickZagger]

De’Aaron Fox.

I’ve never understood the hype. I mean yeah he’s good. He’s limited if you have a good time protector.

I don’t think he’ll ever be a top tier PG.

Fox has a higher PER, higher offensive, defensive and total rebound percentage, almost double the assist percentage, double the steals, more blocks, barely more usage, over double the defensive win shares, almost 50% higher total win share percentage....so a slightly higher contract?

I love that folks set themselves up like this for a hard fall every... fucking... year.

I don't mean that as a dig at NO. It's just been this way since the beginning of time. Or, at least, since the departure of Trader Bob.

 

[blazedanugz]

Man this has been boring so far today. Love the Kanter move..
Dwight Jaynes said crowder has already turned down 12 mil from two teams...millsap feels like that’s what it might be right now or we split the MLE up...

Dwight Jaynes don’t know shit

Duuuuude, I threw up a little in my mouth and then I blew chips all over the floor. Getting either Morris brother would suck.

I'm not saying he's going to GET a big name. I'm saying he's probably chasing one.

Maybe sh!t....but not much else it seems. He does snuggle up to Neil every chance he gets though.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

De’Aaron Fox.

Small market teams have to overpay, or players leave.

Oh, I know.

I just love how people read into things. Someone else will take the same thing you're reading into and read it differently (like, nobody wants to sign with us because we haven't spent our MLE yet).

I remain cautiously optimistic but trying not to read much into anything. Basically, I just expect a minor trade or two and someone mediocre signing our MLE. NO does well with making some minor moves that turn out better than expected that move the needle just a small amount.

Bigger name FA's nothing yet, IMO gonna be some deep discounts coming. these players were smart enough to take the money now instead of trying to negotiate. Patience may be smart here

Man great signing for them. Was hoping we would sign him. What reclamation project that would have been.

 

[illmatic99]

How the hell does Meyers keep getting these 10 mil/yr deals

Imperative you can shoot in our system.

I guess when you're 7 feet tall and can shoot the ball, it makes a difference.

lol yeah that’s not true. Dwight and Neil communicate a lot more than you think

And have him eat up Nassir's minutes? No thanks.

Idk man, personally id take Jackson over Little any day of the week.

I think they do as well, but Neil has Dwight on a muzzle. Then when it comes time to do a deal, Neil texts Woj and leaves Dwight in the dust.
