Official 2017-18 NBA Free Agency/Offseason Thread

[ISO]

Complete list of free agents: 2017 and 2018

Big summer y'all. Post all news, updates, observations, predictions, and opinions here.

Am I the only one who thinks Gordon Hayward could end up in Indiana? Everyone is talking about a Brad Stevens reunion with Boston getting their new age Bird at the 3.

Indiana is a dark horse team when you factor in the tandem that he could form with Paul George if he decides to stay as well as Hayward being born, raised, college educated in Indiana.

I don't really want Hayward. I'd like to let Teague go and bring back some combination of Collison/George Hill.

I'd really like to bring in KCP but his price tag is going to be too high, same with Otto.

Also, with Steph and KD getting their extensions, it's going to be tough to bring back Livingston and Iguodala. Those guys are huge parts of the team and they can command bread on the free agency market. I personally still think Iggy has juice to start in this league and could command $15-18M a year on the open market.

What y'all think of a potential Iguodala return to Philadelphia?

They could use a professional, veteran, champion to add to that young core...
Andre Iguodala Believes Philadelphia 76ers Bound For Greatness

Also back to the Dubs those are not their only key free agents. I think Ian Clark has played well enough to get a pay day elsewhere, ZaZa, JaVale, David West (possible retirement after ring chasing ), Matt Barnes are all free agents as well

I like Otto a lot, but the Wizards will match anything

I'm thinking George Hill reunites with Pop in San Antonio, the CP3 stuff out there is just gas

Why don't you want Hayward though?

He doesn't make us contenders. I want to take Jarrett Allen and build around him and Myles.

Plus, Hayward lowers PG's chances of making an All-NBA team.

I believe Kevin Durant saying he will take a little less is so they could keep Iggy and Livingston. I think I heard one of these basketball writer nerds breaking it down on a podcast last week.

All those other guys are super replaceable. Plus I'm sure it won't be a shortage of role players will to go to GS. I expect a few vets that will take less to be interested as. They the top destination for "ring chasers"

I think they can bring back one if Durant doesn't take max probably Livingston. But both? I really think teams are going to offer a lot for Iguodala.

Who is going to overpay Redikk?

I've heard Philly rumors and Brooklyn. Hopefully the Sixers don't do it.

brooklyn kinda makes sense with what they're doin

that and they still just need "guys"

Oklahoma City was the worst three point shooting team in the league at 32.7%. Westbrook could use some spacing...

But those Victor Oladipo and Steven Adams extensions capped them out, that team is in a bad position

Phil wanted J.J. back for Melo, but I'm unsure if we'd pursue him as a FA but Phil loves his cacs

Philadelphia could really use the shooting and veteran presence though, Simmons needs shooters around him and J.J. one of the best in the league.

New Orleans is another team they have to put some shooters around DMC and AD, they are one of the teams to really look out for in free agency because they need to fill out that roster around those Twin Towers. DMC is a FA in '18 too, they need to show him they can contend.
