Blazer sign ET, 4-year, $36 mil.

Funny

 

[Chris Craig]

Is anyone getting the feeling that the Clippers might turn into a dumpster fire?

There can't be two good teams in LA. One has to absorb the other

 

[SharpesTriumph]

I'm not trying to be a downer but it would suck if we were in the middle of trying to sell Wood on coming here instead of somewhere else and in the meantime Millsap signed elsewhere and then we lost the Wood sweepstakes.

That sadly sounds like a realistic outcome.

Then we sign Jeff Green for $30 million

[Cugel]

I am not satisfied with the roster. And no I dont have suggestions.

 

[Tince]

Holy mother. What a deal. 16 million a year for someone that can't play defense.

 

[B-Roy]

What is New York doing? I swear nothing they do ever makes sense. Why spend cap space on this dude?

 

[DDolla]

No team signing Hassan?

 

[BlazerX]

Holy mother. What a deal. 16 million a year for someone that can't play defense.

Further evidence that front offices today are obsessed with shooting and spacing the floor.

I just saw, just now catching up to things. Wood should be able to get more than MLE

You would think but he is young and still fairly unproven. Raising your salary by 8 million isn't too bad for anyone. If a GM could sell him on the team and him being able to have a role that could prove himself to being worth more than two times the MLE in three years, the guy might take it. I don't know a lot of places he can go that have a chance at winning and more than the MLE.

Can Detroit sign and trade him? If yes I don’t know who would do it though?

^^^^^^^^^^^^That is SHOCKING!!

 

[B-Roy]

HOW?

 

[B-Roy]

^^^^^^^^^^^^That is SHOCKING!!

Don't even know where the money is coming from. Must be a deal.

I like this though as it means the Nuggets are getting worse. Millsap probably re-signs in Denver.

I actually like Jeff Green but steam would shoot out of my ears if we overpaid anyone like that... now for the BAE? Hopefully we get someone much better at forward with the MLE and use the BAE on someone who can have a greater impact on the team.

 

[Cugel]

Wow. Detroit city. That hurts denver. They must be gunning for a star. Plumber was solid backing up jokic and grant is the man. 20 a year. Not too shabby

 

[Blazinaway]

Wood took the full MLE. Damn.

27 mil for 3 yrs is NOT the full BL

No team signing Hassan?

there was a rumot early Sac was

whoa, now we know why Wood was gone, I did not think Detroit had that much cap - bummer for Denver but if he's not coming to us better Grant goes to Detroit- he got PAID

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Would have loved Harrell....

They don't. It has to be a sign and trade. Probably Dedmon and some other pieces going out.

There was a report yesterday that Detroit traded for Dedmon to use him in another trade. Guess we know now...

So who do we get?

 

[Titan]

I thought Grant would get a 3 year 56M, so kinda close I guess. Glad he went East

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Things seem to be going slow this year. I think it's good that Olshey has made a few moves to strengthen the club already, Kanter, Hood and Covington. Because I think we have a bunch of clubs after a few guys and all they have is the MLE. So it might not be about money. Now the GMs (and hopefully Lillard) are out there selling their city and their team as winners. And I think Blazerkor might be right it's a tough game; you don't want to be caught putting too much effort into a guy who might not sign. I might want to have more than one management team out there working on different guys and trying to get a sense of how they are leaning. One good thing; since all meetings are virtual, it can't go on so long, like when guys used to fly from one city to another having dinner with different teams.

 

[blazerkor]

They don't. It has to be a sign and trade. Probably Dedmon and some other pieces going out.

Hell, maybe Ariza is on the move again in a Grant sign and trade.

 

[TBpup]

So who do we get?

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.

[MickZagger]

^^^^^^^^^^^^That is SHOCKING!!

It’s good for us. Denver losing good players I like a lot

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

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.
