i have something to say about the offseason THE 2016 NBA OFFSEASON

unless he's willing to take less than max

did cuban offer dwight the max yet isn't that destiny

they seem to be putting all their eggs in the whiteside basket

might as well max out d will too

chandler parsons to memphis would be......... really weird

i am pretty okay w/ this parsons thing but ugh that a guy on that level gets the max and i'm doing all i can not to picture pdx's perimeter D with lillard, mccollum, and parsons as starters yeesh

parsons is an ok defender iirc

parsons is fine if he's like your second best perimeter defender. but if he's your best then that might be bad.

yeah that's more what i'm getting at

lol i'd been hearing for months 'fans gonna be shocked at these numbers', i'd been hearing 'kent bazemore is gonna get paid more than ppl suspect' for the past six months, i thought i was ready, then i look on twitter real quick before i go to bed and realize i ain't ready for shit

yeah this is truly insane

would still be surprised if he gets offered that much tbf

not even sure he's a starter

lakers 4/64 for moz.gov confirmed

he did pretty well as a starter for us and love the dude as a person, will miss that baze gaze, but at the same time i'd feel weird about letting demarre walk (and i was cool w/ that move even though he was my favorite player on the hawks) but betting huge on bazemore.

ha i thought that mozgov lakers stuff i saw was a joke. goodness.

so based on all this i guess barnes is still getting the max despite the whole shitting the bed in the finals thing

i really liked baze this year but it's hard to reckon w/ that number. i think he'll be good for whoever signs him tho.

if barnes doesn't get the max it's only cuz he turned down the max to play for a better team

what is the new max tho?

25-30?

If the Warriors match Barnes getting the max they're nuts

25ish for someone of barnes' experience I think xp

if barnes is intent on making max money he'll be wearing a different uniform imo

parsons offer is apparently 4/94 btw

lol

derozan 5/139 w raps
batum 5/120 w hornets
clarkson 4/50 w lakers

it's lit for sure

Byron didn't die for this! FFS lakers

whiteside staying w/heat i guess

and the one we've all been waiting for...

...ish smith to detroit for 3/19

i like that clarkson deal

i was sort of interested in what the heat would do if whitesite left but i think they'll be happy getting him for under $100m

that's............. a lot of money for derozan

probably a deal to toronto felt like they had to do. the front office was on the ropes until they made it past the first round, now they can kind of coast a few more years on lowry/derozan 2nd round+ exits unless the east cobbles together greater competition somehow.

i like that clarkson deal

i have no problem with that deal really

and hey maybe this is the off season when he finally develops a 3pt shot

Xp to self

ya clarkson def looking like a steal

the knicks are trying to sign eric gordon to a longterm deal u_u

lol knicks never change

knicks are spending a lot of money for a 1 in 10 chance at a good team

trainers going to earn their money in NY this season

Hearing Jeremy Lin landed a three-year deal worth $36 million from Brooklyn

this is actually far less than i expected given it's the nets

becoming the jeremy lin show while you wait out your penance is not the worst idea

for real
