The Official 2015 NBA Free Agency/Off-Season Thread

They've got 6/7 different deals lined up for Haywood's contract.

Derozan is only an option if the Raptors are serious about Wes Matthews.

I doubt it happens.

I refuse to believe that...But if it's 100% fact we grabbing that title this yes

I want to know what's all on the table

LeBron returning alone put him 300-400milly A YEAR in the green....to have to pay 75 back milly is nothing....that's over a billion or 2 in revenue over 5 yr while paying 200milly back...and being in the topic of discussion/TOP attraction in the NBA..while in a position to WIN titles..this is a NBA owner DREAM....

wasnt saying it wasnt worth it..moreso that the number is astronomical..at least just for this year

tom penn made a good point..cap going up so much raises the floor too. philly is gonna have to get to around 80m two seasons from now

@Blackthoughts what up with ur boy draymond not being able to seal the deal with GSW????

No need to bid against yourself, see what another team thinks he's worth on the open market.

Kobe didnt want Dwight, that was no secret. Delete Dwight.

Pau didn't like the way the brass and dumbass D'Antonio treated him, nothing to do with Kobe. Delete Pau.

Melo wasn't coming to a broke down team with no coach and direct when you have PHIL JACKSON making all of these promises to him.Delete Melo.

See how easy that is? But let dudes live

If I was LA , I wouldnt come to LA either, I WANT RINGS NOW. The Lakers can't offer that for the next few years. Delete Aldridge.

Youth will have to build and carry the Lakers until we get a young veteran to lead them.

LMA made the right choice if wants a chance at winning rings NOW. I still hope there's an outside chance the Suns or Blazers with Monroe gets him...but I doubt it.

I wasn't even concern about FA. Just want to enjoy Summer League and looking forward to the youth core growing. The next two seasons of FA is what will get my full attention. At least next year we'll have a better understanding of what our young core will be like(If we don't funkin trade them for a quick fix).

Can't believe im watching a NBA where Shump is gettin 10 mili a year.

-Cavs have the Haywood contract they are concentrating now. They have a hell of a front court and they will probably move him for a perimeter player. Keep an eye on the Toronto Raptors, they used up all their cap space on Carroll. The Raptors are talking to LMA and Wes Matthews, they could do a sign and trade. Kyle Lowry and DeMar Derozan are guys the Cavs like. He has been told Derozan is not available by someone on Derozan's side and he is getting vague references from league sources saying he could be in play. - Windhorst

lowry as another point forward with lebron itll allow lebron to stay on 3s..lowry guards the 4s

wasnt derozan in on these free agent pitches to carroll and wes? hes lobbying for his replacements?

Yeah Bro I agree...this is uncharted territory...

 

[Sensitive Blake Griffin]

Is Derrick Williams (former #2 pick) still free?

i honestly forgot derrick williams existed

Shump can't even dribble. But he can defend, which is good because:
Wade
Paul George
Dragic
Jimmy Butler
Beal
Derozan
Carroll
Wall
Lowry
Oladipo
Rose
Teague
Are all potential 20ppg scorers at the 1-3 positions in the East
