Free agent Julius Randle has agreed to a two-year, $18M deal with New Orleans, league sources tell ESPN. Player option second year.

Can you imagine Davis and Randle jamming on us all game.

 

[dviss1]

I’m sure Nik can start at 3

See? Just more crap from you.

Empty, meaningless words.

Post something with some substance...

 

[dviss1]

Like he becomes there what Ed Davis became for us but even better. He has the physical abilities.

Lol no. That dude has been nothing but injury prone garbage since he came into the league.

I'll bet dollars top doughnuts if Neil picked him up you'd be saying just that. But since he didn't and you want to keep shitting on him, you emit negativity...

Nobody in this forum wants Noel except maybe you now...

Well as you have stated emphatically I cant tell the future when it comes to Neil so I highly doubt you can tell me how Noel or anyone else will play next season. For the record I’d take Noel on a min contract over Nik on a min contract any day of the week.

This type of defensiveness is the weakest.. dudes not acting worked up bro, so quit with the false attribution of it.

 

[Scalma]

Hold up, Mirotic might be available now

 

[BonesJones]

Hold up, Mirotic might be available now

According to what?

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

yeaaaaa, no

Boogie is gone

 

[BBert]

Wow is right, I wonder if that means they are signing someone else big (other than Rondo).

Is Boogie big?

 

[BBert]

Uh oh - Indy just released Al Jefferson - DON'T DO IT NEIL!!!!

So the Lakers are getting Jefferson, too?

Folk like to point at me and say chill on this board. MFs don't know me.

ESPN Sources: Portland and New Orleans had discussed the possibility of a sign-and-trade for DeMarcus Cousins, but a road block existed since he shares the same agent as RFA Jusuf Nurkic.

7:25 PM -



gotta say, if Blazers were considering this I have to wonder how much they believe in and want to pay/keep Nurk? Hmmm

According to what?

Since Pelicans have Randle, there aren't as many minutes for Mirotic.

 

[Blazinaway]

Since Pelicans have Randle, there aren't as many minutes for Mirotic.

he'd be a nice fit and his 12.5 mil salary fits in our TPE

 

[RR7]

There's 96 minutes for Davis, Randle and Mirotic. No need at all to dump him

This free agency is batshit crazy. Teams who have some degree of cap space can have fun as players are going for next to nothing thanks to the summer of 2016.

 

[Scalma]

Tyreke is gonna be a bargain for someone else and it’s going to infuriate me.

 

[BonesJones]

Tyreke is gonna be a bargain for someone else and it’s going to infuriate me.

Should be us.

 

[Sarni]

Thunder or Warriors I guess.

 

[Sarni]

Should be us.

It’s gone with the signing of Seth Curry.

 

[BonesJones]

It’s gone with the signing of Seth Curry.

Nope. Use the BAE on Curry, and the full MLE on Tyreke.

 

[Scalma]

Nope. Use the BAE on Curry, and the full MLE on Tyreke.

How would that work? Not saying it can’t, I’m genuinely curious.

 

[theprunetang]

I bet he goes to Houston. They need someone like him after Ariza left.

 

[Sarni]

Nope. Use the BAE on Curry, and the full MLE on Tyreke.

Can we actually do that?

We cannot use full MLE anyway though, just taxpayer’s. Most of the league is operating with just that though so it’s not a problem

Yeah I thought we used part of the mle on curry.

As of right now we'd have to make a lopsided trade. Something like Aminu to Philly for the rights to Jonah Bolden would be f-ing fantastic and save us about $5.5 million if Bolden came over. Of course Nurk would have to take the QO too for it to work.

Curry could slide into the BAE and Evans could be offered almost exactly the Full-MLE. We'd be hard capped but our roster would be full anyway.

Dame, CJ, Tyreke, Collins, Nurk

Curry, Baldwin, Harkless, Swanigan, Bolden

Stauskas, Turner, Simons, Trent, Leonard

Cut PapaG if Bolden comes. I feel like I'm missing someone but that's a pretty solid squad.

Philly have no reason to trade Bolden for Aminu. They are apparently quite high on Bolden, they can get him locked down for a longer period for less money compared to Aminu’s one year contract at $7million. I actually think we’d find it hard enough to deal Aminu in current climate plus we have no reason to as his experience and defence will be key.

I know it's unlikely, I am saying that would be the type of move we'd need to make. BTW, it was rumored just a day or two ago that the 76ers were looking to trade Bolden so I don't think they are really that high on him.
