Why would we want to? That's 30+ extra mil iirc

Because he'd choose us if we could.

I wouldn't want to pay LA 29 million a year.... He isn't even close to that value....

AD is though.

 

[tiredhunter]

AD $145 million 5 year extension. Why can't we offer that much to Aldridge?

AD had a higher base salary due to being the #1 pick at a guess.

And digging into it, nope, looks like rookie extension allows them to offer 25% of the cap, +7.5% each following year. So, I change my guess to "This is the first taste of crazy money under the 2016-2017 cap"

To be fair, DeAndre probably can't count high enough to realize they only sent half their normal team.

That's because anthony Davis is the goat.

Can you imagine a crazy malcontent like Rondo being added to the already crazy as shit Sactown situation?

I'd love it!

So why are the Nets trying so hard to remain the 8th seed in the East? They're in that dreaded not good enough to compete but not bad enough to get any picks range, and they're walking right back into it by re-signing Lopez and Thad Young.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

I'd love it!

Nobody else is interested so this doesn't shock me.

I'm interested in see DMC and Rondo together. Can we sign that up for reality drama or what?

They owe Boston a 1st round draft pick in 2016.

Lmfao kg and Pierce for one season... They gave up their future for that.

Not sure if we should laugh. It's starting to look like we gave up our 1st round pick for half a season of Afflalo. At least, our pick is lottery protected.

They gave up multiple picks though. And the Joe Johnson trade FUCKED them too.

I HOPE A CERTAIN FREE AGENT DIDN'T JUST SIGN WITH AN EVIL TEAM, WHAT WOULD SUCK.

@Vincent_Ellis56: Pistons have contacted Danny Green as free agency begins http://on.freep.com/1LTW5Lt via @freep

Good point. I'm so glad Billy King isn't our GM. We should do more trades with the Nets.

I'd deal Kaman and Hendo for Joe Johnson. That's a great expiring contract and he can still ball.

No Lebron is coming here, that's why Twitter crashed.

[santeesioux]

Yo dawgs, I think someone turned off NBA Twitter for the night.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

I guess the meetings were at the Beverly Wilshire. Aldridge's agents probably rented a suite for the pitches. I might try to roll through tomorrow in an aldridge jersey and just walk around. They probably won't let me in the hotel in a blazers jersey though haha.
