OT Free Agency Round The League

[Rastapopoulos]

I'll only feel bad for him if he DOESN'T sign with the Warriors

 

[Chris Craig]

...Tony Parker going to the Hornets, watch out!

Really?

 

[Chris Craig]

Nothing will justify letting Davis walk.

Not only did Neil let Ed walk he counseled him to do so. Fuck Neil

 

[julius]

Nothing will justify letting Davis walk.

Nothing? what if Zach Collins averaged 12-8 next year, and it's because he needed minutes that would normally go to Ed?

 

[A$AP Meyers]

I guess I understand letting Ed go. But boy, am I going to miss that guy.

Does anyone know, can we void the 1 year minimum contract for Baldwin and sign him longer term right now?

I'm not sure how it works because he was technically a two-way player that we promoted if that is different than normal but since he's only played one season with us we probably wouldn't have his Bird Rights so he'd have to sign for the remaining tax-MLE. That probably isn't enough to get him to stay long term.

Will we have his bird rights after next season?

That's a very tricky question. At worst we'd have his early bird rights. Technically he'd be a 1st round pick entering his 4th season so we might have something there that protects us but since we weren't the team that drafted him, I'm not sure. On the flip side there are provisions to re-signing 2-way contract players and he originally did start out as one with us but I can't find a rule for players that have been promoted in the new CBA.

So what kind of contract can we give him with early bird rights if he blows up this year?

I can't find an answer to my other questions therefore I can't answer this question. My guess is that both he and PapaG would be unrestricted free agents and the best we could sign Baldwin to would be the tax-MLE. However if he agreed to a one year deal, we would have his full bird rights at the end of the 2019-20 season and could sign him to whatever contract he wanted.

Then we should've let go of Aminu or given him some of Turners minutes at SF.

What da fuck ? Mozgov get's traded 100 Times with that shitty Contract???

What a garbage trade for all 3 teams

...yeah, seriously, what's the point of this nonsense?!

I have no idea. It's garbage for garbage for garbage

I don't understand why the Bulls are in there. Well, none of it makes sense, but they give up a decent backup PG for...Julyan Stone?

They're probably getting 2nd rounders or another unnamed prospect. They may be looking to sign a backup PG as well. I wouldn't be surprised to see them test out Isaiah Thomas. Apparently they aren't too happy with Dunn and Isaiah could actually steal some minutes there and he doesn't really have a suitor.

Spending money to tank...the Florida way

 

[Wizard Mentor]

From espn:
2016 coming home to roost
Though front offices have certainly seen it coming, even the most grizzled among them are impressed by the sheer tightness of the free-agent market. The money and years are simply not there for anyone other than top-flight talent, somewhat a function of the decision not to implement cap smoothing.

"2016 basically hosed two years worth of free agents," one exec said. "The restricted free agents are really feeling it."

But it's not just the fact that 40 percent of player salaries are being paid from deals that originated in 2016. A confluence of other factors exists. For one, the dominance of the Warriors has persuaded several teams to lay off big deals. There's also a strong belief that teams are getting smarter about the allocation of resources, and the majority of contracts are for one-year terms. An interesting wrinkle in this regard: The league loves to talk about the value of roster continuity but doesn't love continuity enough to make it a priority when there's legal tender and cap space at stake.

He was traded along with a #2 pick, then traded twice for bad contracts.

 

[TBpup]

Nate never trusts rookies..he'll always play his starters into the ground..

This message is Tom Thibodeau approved.

...yeah, seriously, what's the point of this nonsense?!

It's a tank race!

 

[Pinwheel1]

Next summer we will have three expiring contracts worth close to 40 million dollars to help. Someone will be traded.

 

[Sarni]

Exactly. If we wanted to trade Meyers for an equally bad contract we probably could.
