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

evan turner has been an NBA twitter whipping boy for too long for many people to accept that he got pretty decent

are you guys sure

hold on lemme get his permanent record on baskref

my two cents on the evan turner deal: what

im really sad parsons is going to memphis

it would be hilarious if conley doesn't come back

but if anyone was gonna risk $94 million on those knees the grizz make sense

re: turner by "pretty decent" i mean "works well under proper supervision in good system." which i think stotts can offer; it's not dissimilar to brad's

re: turner'n hooch
he def improved his offrtg...93 at its nadir to 102 last year. career high 4 win shares last yr. terrible 3pt shooter, though he's shooting it less often from distance. def an incredibly shrewd move to give him almost $20 million each year while he figures out some basic shit abt basketball.

I was v cool with parsons choosing memphis until 2 seconds later when it meant the blazers slipped and dropped their rainy day fund on evan turner's agent

werent they like just scraping the salary floor last year? they got even more space than most teams

delly 4/38 to the bucks

WACKY DELLY

they were just at the floor but this year dame's supermax kicks in and there's a bunch of rfa's (harkless, Crabbe, Leonard) who are gonna get big to decent offers that Portland will likely match so afaik the big prize is evan turner

teletovic 3/30 to the bucks too, that sounds pretty good tbh

bye delly
bye moz

fournier re-up with magic at 85/5, that's a bargain

delly and mozgov combined for over 100 mil, my head is spinning

Are you even IN the NBA if you don't make more money than Steph Curry?

Do teams not realize Evan Turner is below average

can't decide if that or the delly deal is worse

I don't understand how clarkson got 12m/yr in this environment

def the biggest steal so far

probs wanted to stay by his jenner gf

Solomon Hill
‏@solohill
Thank you to the city of Indianapolis, the Pacers & the Simon family for making my dream of being an NBA player come true!

despite what i read a few posts ago i really thought this meant he finally made it to the nba

haha

hoping the dubs can nab Andrew Nicholson on the cheap

This guy is on the top of my list of guys who will slip through the cracks and be wildly underpaid.

Beating a dead horse but that's the most fascinating thing about this era to me. These teams all go crazy the first month and then good players get contracts that are actually lower than what a fair market value would have been before the insanity.

bucks are cornering the market on syllables

the only difference this year is that a lot of teams are signing guys to $17 million per year contracts in the first 48 hours and still only using up like half their cap space

lowe zing

And so he were are, in 2016, with the Knicks building a team designed to make the 2012 conference finals.

otm

Yeah we'll see. It's hard to keep track of what's going on, but this feels like Wes Matthews writ large

that solomon hill contract is unreal
