The Official 2015 NBA Free Agency/Off-Season Thread

We all heard these contracts were going to be bananas this summer but it's still hard to wrap my head around it.

Shumpert getting 40 mill? Crazy

Anyone decent who didn't opt out took a huge L

 

[SoulController]

2 years with that team option is fine, should help them close in the playoffs more effectively. retain DJ and thats a legit squad

 

[THE MACHINE]

They're also targeting Demar Derozan in a trade

what?


Gilbert really tryna buy a championship



reminds me of old jerry jones

 

[PTBG]

Gilbert bytched about the Lakers getting CP3 and starting a super team, now Cav's have their own super team. Not sure why Cav's are resigning all of Bron's teammates that let him down and were called bums/trash when they lost in the finals.

 

[Serious]

Lma out here collecting frequent flyers miles just cuz

That's what he said he wanted to do this offseason, be as wanted and pursued as other superstars.

EDIT: Double

 

[ReggieFlare]

3 years is long contract, but it's pretty cheap at 10 mil. I'd say it's a win for the Clippers.

 

[Rob's al Ghul]

Can't even fault him, though. Thanks for a fun and memorable postseason, Truth.
Otto....it's your time. (at least for this season... )

Yall niqqas dumb. LA wasn't coming to LA no MATTER WHAT KOBE SAID. They don't have the pieces right now for a championship, Aldridge wants rings and SA gives him the best chance. You niqqas make things more complicated than reality.

None of us know exactly what was said in those meetings, but you niqqas keep talking dumb shyt. One report said it was thr Lakers trying to sell the lifestyle, the other report said Kobe said they would run the Pau/Kobe offense (which is what you do with a pick and pop big man), we don't know.

 

[hayesc0]

50 win team w/ or w/o dj.

I know Id rather give a dleague n1gga a shot over Big Baby and Turk doe

lol they are getting even slower and less athletic on the wing.

If he actually said that(haven't seen any reports he actually said that) then that's different. I guess Shaq would of been the only name that wouldn't have cause such a fury...even tho LMA plays nothing like Pau. And they both would be nothing like Shaq/Kobe.

You keep ignoring that reportedly LMA asked Kobe how they would play with each other. He gave a PROVEN SUCCESS in him and Gasol. People are running with that to make their own conclusions. We don't know what was or wasn't pitched in the meeting. So why assume?? We can only go off on reports by sports writers who weren't even there.

But how many star bigs leaving or not signing with the Lakers do we have to hear about before we come to a conclusion that something just isn't right anymore? Kobe Bryant in the room during player wooing sessions has been a problem more than once now

Kobe telling a better player they can be his sidekick for a year
