Nice move for Langston Galloway to Pistons. There are no options on that 3-yr $21 million deal. He opted out of $5.4 mil w/ Sac this season.

Decent backup for Jackson. It's basically the MLE....little less maybe. Think that's around 8 million.

Almost time for food and beer.

How is you talking about LeBron negatively off topic? Not stirring anything you but you're always doing that.

Its really not a negative against LeBron at all.
I said funny.
LeBron had no way of knowing at the time what the Warriors were developing into.

Clippers employees wore T-shirt after Blake Griffin's FA meeting likening him to MLK, Obama, Ali, JFK, Lincoln, Gandhi, MJ,Einstein,Mandela.

Stupid and tacky.

Derek Fisher? Dude has been a shit show since he retired. I'm not worried about Rondo. First of all, I'll be mildly surprised if they actually sign him and 2nd, it'll likely be a 1 year deal.

Plus, Magic and Pelinka don't seem like they're going to be putting up with any bullshit. That's part of why they got rid of D-Lo. If Rondo starts his shit, he'll be gone quickly would be my guess.

Besides, with Lavar as his Dad, Lonzo isn't likely to be fazed by any Rondo craziness. lol

Obviously I am joking with Fisher. He was washed up 7 years ago.

But seriously though, if you want a mentor, get a mentor. There are many good citizens in the league who can play that role. Rondo is not hat guy. Regardless of what the Lakers are willing to tolerate, I just don't understand the risk or the need.

Want a mentor? Get a guy like Deron Williams Shelvin Mack or Aaron Brooks.

First your Heat have to actually make the playoffs. And w/ that disaster of a front office they have & the fact that Whiteside isn't a legit C but Tristan is will only spell doom for the franchise for years to come. You'd be better off rooting for the Magic.

Riley has definitely lost something off his fastball.

PG Michael Carter-Williams got a call from the Rockets last night, a source said. New York, OKC, Dallas, NO & Charlotte have interest, too.

LeBron wishes he had Riley's luxurious hair.

Andre Iguodala's meeting with Houston has concluded. As is almost always the case in these settings, good vibes shared by all.

Stupid and tacky.

Good move to get out of there, CP3.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Not sure how Houston factors in....they can't have that much $ available to offer him.....SA is his best destination if he leaves imo.

LeBron wishes he had hair.

FIFY

Again, I'll be surprised if they actually sign him. I'm sure they will talk to a lot of players. Most of whom, they won't sign either because they lose interest or the player does.

So far, I'm happy with what I've seen out of Magic and Pelinka, so I trust that they will make the right move. I'm not going to criticize them for a move that hasn't been made or for practicing due diligence by turning over every stone.

I heard that jealousy over Riley's hair is why Lebron really left Miami.

Thanks for taking that comment seriously.

Thanks for taking my post seriously.

[TurnUpTheHeat]

At first, I wasn't sure this would be a good move.....but if they were to bring him, you'd have to think they would address that. And Magic is universally well liked by all.....I can't see Rondo fucking that up. He has to know hie's running out of chances.
