I think there's going to be some great deals to be had after the initial spending frenzy. I think the smart GMs will sit back and fill out their teams on the bargains that are left over.

George Hill turned down 4/$88 mil


Hill wants to cash out and if you can make a team in your division weaker you try

Yep definitely. And plus he knew there was a risk of Hayward leaving so turning it down and waiting for FA was most certainly the better idea.

Yep, you know San Antonio is going to try making one big move (Point guard) and then wait out the hurd and do what they did last year by randomly finding people like David Lee in late July to fill out the roster.

How do they explain signing Teodosic then? Makes no sense

Hes a dope player (that is prob past his prime), and Ive been wanting to see him in the NBA, but he makes no sense for this team

@tremonthustler1 help me understand this

At best Teodosic would bridge you to Dunn but Teodosic has never played in the NBA so I really don't get the move. Teodosic in Utah or Denver makes more sense.

I think we have about 29mil in cap room after we released Pek. Im not sure if that includes Bazz or nah

Lowry would be a good look but yall are going to run into cap issues in 2 years,its basically going to be a 2-3 year run,maybe less...You think they are willing to max out Wiggins ? If he goes RFA next year he could sign an offer sheet with the Wolves right to match correct ?

So I'm watching this magic interview. He truly fukked up w the Russell trade.

-says Lakers won't be major player in FA, but will look for a shooting wing
-says Lakers got brook lopez cause pick n pop potential with lonzo
-traded Russell cause he was a score first, and they preferred ball movement with Lonzo leading the show (as if Russell couldn't play SG)

The fact that it appears PG is headed elsewhere this summer, its apparent that like any decent basketball mind would conclude...dumb fukkin trade. They sold low on Russell expecting to bring in PG immediately. If Russell broke out next year, we could have moved him for a much better haul than brook lopez. Getting rid of the mozgov contract wouldn't be hard next year, shedding salary in the NBA isn't some impossible task.

Looking past that, we traded our best shooter and now they want to bring in another shooting wing....problem is, who? Regardless they're gonna have to spend next years coveted salary to bring in a shooter.

Next point, if PG ends up with Boston or Cleveland there is a strong chance he won't leave. A PG, Hayward, IT, Horford core would be tough to leave. And players just don't leave LeBron. So that's scary.

We miss out on PG, the only reasonable superstar option in '18 is Cousins, as Westbrook is expected to extend.
