2016 NBA Off-Season Thread

Fournier just resigned with Orlando for 5 yr/85

I didn't even know who that was.

Evan Turner got PAID in Portland.

Things moving quickly now…Evan Turner to POR, 4/$70 mil via @Adrian Wojnarowski and Evan Fournier stays in ORL 5/$85 mil via @Marc J. Spears

I'm glad the Lakers didn't commit that to Turner.

3rd & 4th seasons are team.options on Mozgov's contract.

I didn't even know who that was.

He's pretty good

 

[Heatles84]

Ah, so your memory is that short. Mozgov had 14 ppg, 7.5 rpg, and 1.5 bpg on 55% shooting in the finals in 28 minutes. If you disregard game 5 where Blatt benched Mozgov to go small (for JR Smith, who went 5-15), those averages climb to 16.8 ppg, 9 rpg, and 1.8 bpg in 33 min on 56% shooting.

You could've put anyone in at center and they probably would've put up the same stats. Lebron was practically the only offensive option. Lakers made a bad signing.

Turner got 17.5 millon per? That's the worst contract yet.

White guy
Strange hair
He's actually pretty good though..
From what I've seen, its a good signing.

 

[Heatles84]

I'll take your word for it.

 

[lakersrule]

Are the folks banging on the Mozgov contract also banging on the Noah contract?

 

[Heatles84]

Mozgov was simply unplayable down the stretch for the Cavs this year. I think they would have liked to play him a little more- but Tristan and Frye were outplaying him big time that it just was a farce to have him on the court. He was legitmiately the Cavs 4th (or 5th) big behind Love, TT, Frye (And James if u count him).

I am not overly surprised he got 16M- but its just such a depressing move...its buying a frying pan for a Christmas gift....a no-upside center that cna guard the rim pretty damn solid, shoot a little, and will drive you insane with how he fumbles with the ball...

Basically this. ^

Wade's getting 4 years $90 mil.

 

[lakersrule]

3rd & 4th seasons are team.options on Mozgov's contract.

Getting even better!

Winning lotto tickets being punched in the NBA today

Only 23. Got better every year he's been in the league and avg 15 PPG on 40% from 3 last year. Considering his age not a bad deal imo

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

here ya go

 

[avalon2423]

Who is Wade getting that contract from?

 

[lakersrule]

Ah, the old 'stick in anyone' argument. Always a strong one.

I honestly don't know much about him. I'm not arguing with you just so we're clear.

Also, here's this gem:

@ buying a frying pan.

Ah, the 'I'll go ahead and look purely at stats rather than look at the situation' argument.
