FA has started! (1 Viewer)

[Draco]

Bill Simmons had good idea for LAL, give Lance 2 year $32 million. Lets them keep pipe dream of Durant or other stud free agent coming to L.A. in two years.

@ESPNSteinLine: RT @SteveBHoop: Celtics have agreed to terms with restricted free agent Avery Bradley, according to source

ugh. his injury history might have scared teams off. Interested in seeing the #s

Avery Bradley re-ups for 4yr/32m. No bargains in FA yet.

 

[cmeese47]

HAHAHAHA please oh please let Lance to LAL happen. I can't wait to see Kobe punch him in the face on the sidelines

Lance could be a flop or he could learn from Kobe and turn into a killer. I would then try and pair him with someone like Lowry. That is a hell of a back court. If you can find someone to take Nash then you open up some extra money for a nice move, if not you can still afford to bring back Gasol and then add a cheap Diantoni style bench around them.

Lowry
Stephenson
Bryant
Randle
Gasol

with Nash off the bench. That team has potential nothing near title potential but borderline playoff team is reachable. Plus then they would have a nice core of Lowry, Stephenson and Randle to add to.

seems to be a 20-25% overvaluation bump early on, there is obviously "risk" in waiting but could be some bargains available if patient, Blazers really can't over pay unless we do a sign and trade and I am thinking it is highly unlikely we can get Hawes for the MLE

Batum would be a max cat if he hit the market this summer.

Ariza to get something near $10m/per?! Gtfoh!

Batum would likely get 4/51 on this market and Ariza should probably get 4/38. Batum's age and passing ability would provide the biggest boost in his salary when compared to Ariza.

 

[Draco]

Batum would get max now. He got 4/44 two years ago when he was a backup.

Bradley and Meeks contracts are shocking.

Sounds like a coach's nightmare with three extremely volatile players who all want the ball in their hands.

I think you need to stick to the Conley lovefest.

With Portland being such a good FA destination because of Lillard, Aldridge and our contebership, I am personally shocked we haven't signed anyone or had a sniff at a real FA. After all, with Olney, things have changed...LOL

You hear about anyone other than Livingston signing for MLE?

Me neither.

Any players that have signed for the MLE that you think the Blazers should have got? Olshey only has so much to work with.

Why do you have to be so negative about the Blazers al the time?

I can't believe we missed out on Jodie Meeks for the MLE!

My father in law has cancer and has decided to just do everything he always wanted to do but held back on because he thinks he going to die. So he's started beating his wife and telling all the women in the homeowner's association they're raving morons.

So if slagging off on the Blazers is the worst MM is doing, I think we should be happy.

If you're going to troll the Blazers, at least don't get our GM mixed up with a baseball reporter.

If we had max available, I bet we could land a good free agent. If we had $12 mil available, those mentioned could easily be had.

If you are going to use this analogy, at least compare us to the other teams that only have mle available

The lord giveth and the lord taketh away, while we all hope your father in law finds solace in beating his wife and acting misogynistic, I am not sure how this story relates to free agency or any potential health concerns MM might have.

I personally want to wish MM the best of health.

I disagree and hope hell has a special section reserved for the abuser. ain't nothing satisfying about domestic viollence

Come now lets try and not get sidetracked by this, FA is here and Portland has to sign someone right.

Avery Bradley just got 8 Million a year!!?!?!?!! I don't want to hear anybody bitch about what our guys make if this league is handing out money like THAT to players like THAT!


Sent from my baller ass iPhone 5S...... FAMS!

your solace statement was inflamitory. deal with it.

Reports of Jeremy Lin coming to Philly circulating. NBA source says "lots of teams trying to unload big contracts on Sixers." We'll see

Thats just insane esp since he has missed about 1/4th of every season he has played in so far.

 

[cmeese47]

If you say so, I have known numerous people who have suffered from cancer, my grandfather has 2 kinds at the moment and my 3 year old half brother also has cancer. I cannot imagine it is easy to find solace in that situation. If I had to take a backhand around around the mouth every now and then to relieve some of their pain I would do it.

I am not advocating domestic violence just hoping that something positive can be found in a difficult situation.

@HCP Bradley plays terrific defense so the next time we sign someone who plays his caliber of defense I promise not to complain about the price.

There goes what little chance we had of signing a quality contributor this offseason (as far as outright signing someone without S&T).

Utah RFA Gordon Hayward is meeting with Cavaliers officials in Cleveland today, sources tell Yahoo. Offer sheet could be forthcoming.

I know you hate to miss an opportunity to engage in a little snarkiness, but you are aware that the July moratorium is underway in the NBA right now, no? With a few exceptions, teams can't sign anybody until July 10th. Livingston reportedly has agreed to terms with the Warriors, but a contract can't be signed until next week.

espousing spousal abuser as therapy is how your statement reads. you have no place in deciding for others,especially the abused
