2016 NBA Off-Season Thread

Heat sign Ellington 2/yr 12M.
I'd assume they aren't matching Tyler offer.

Solid move. I loved Ellington when he was with the Lakers. He has a nice outside shot and he is a pretty solid defender. They got him at a decent price, considering how crazy contracts have gotten this summer.

 

[WiggyRuss]

If he signs for a min contract, I think they should let him eat whatever he wants on the bench. Very low risk deal there and Golden State offers the type of locker room culture where Sanders might actually succeed. Many positive role models there.

ehh...i duno

i think their is a difference between being a little bit goofy and being a little bit of a fool- kind of like Jr Smith------and then being like Sanders who you cant count on to do his job and work like a pro is supposed to work.

Sanders to the Cavs has been an off and on rumor for years- since he was released out of his Bucks deal- but it never happened- because i think this guy is kind of a joke...ive heard the same thing lately too...i highly doubt he plays again- all though- i could see people saying that about Whiteside at one point...

how old is Sanders?

Wouldn't it simply be risk vs reward?
Whoever signs him can just release him.

Exactly. On a min deal, there is zero risk and a potential Whiteside like reward, although that is extremely unlikely.

Lol this guy

This kid is pretty cocky for being out of the league for a year lol. He will fit right in with GS lol

 

[Mecca]

Talk about a blessing in disguise.

This is top 20 pick pay and he landed in a great situation.


Memphis Grizzlies rookie Deyonta Davis – the No. 31 pick in the 2016 NBA draft – has agreed to a three-year, $4 million deal, marking the richest guaranteed salary for an American-born second-round pick, league sources told The Vertical.

 

[Mecca]

Unlike Jimmy Butler, Harrison Barnes....He Bet on himself and lost.

Last fall Meyers Leonard turned down a "considerable" extension offer that was rumored by be worth $60 million over four years. Can he get that much on the market right now? With his recent injury history and the plummeting amount of cap room available around the league I doubt it.

 

[Mecca]

dude's already got super athleticism and court vision. Philly got a good one IF he can become at least a decent shooting threat...

Brandon Ingram I hope shakes off last night's effort. will say that the way he played shows exactly why he needs to gain more muscle. he got bumped around way too much...

Not surprising that he struggled a bit. Back to back, big minutes.

The kid will be fine when he gets in NBA shape, adjusts to the grind.

But, there is no way that he should start over Deng....yet.

He's gonna be really good down the line. No need to throw him to the Wolves.

He was a savage on defense.

That's all they need from him.

So are you saying we are cocky? Thats more like cavs fans

 

[Hambombs]

Yep. The dude was a fucking monster on the defensive end with the bucks and hes long and athletic

 

[Mecca]

Man....Thon Maker looks like a player.

Yes, he is a project.

Yes, he looks like his leg will snap if you lean on him.

But, a 7 footer that can handle the ball and move like that?

Scratch that..

The Bucks have two 7 footers that can do that.

Good grief..

He's got 8 and 8 in the first half so far.

 

[bksballer89]

Crabbe back to Portland

Rough day for Brooklyn if the Heat matches Tyler as well

Harkless didn't re-sign so he may start at SF
