2017 NBA Offseason Thread

Gordon looks like a POS to be honest. He basically acted like his decision wasn't made because of all the reports came out how he didn't inform the Jazz of his decision. The tweet from Haynes 6 hours ago was accurate all along.

Not a huge Rudy Gay fan but Riley needs to offer him a nice deal.

Durant, Horford, Hayward.....

Teams are going to start pulling the trigger on trades faster to avoid letting their stars leave with no compensation.

If I were a GM....

Westbrook, George, Wall....sign those deals or get dealt.

Deal allows Hayward to get 10-year veteran max deal after third year of new contract with Boston

Weird seeing Woj on ESPN

Hayward can be a decent piece, that's it though.

2018 Free agents for the Celtics

IT and Bradley are both UFA while Smart is a RFA.

Three straight 4th of July big time FA moves?

That's a little rough on the guy.

He maybe could be handling it better... but dude probably had a plan about how he wanted to go out... with respect to a former team that he holds no ill will against... and now he's just, in hard headed fashion, trying to salvage that plan in some way.

That's not POS.

There's speculation that Bradley will need to go right now to make room... both monetarily and in terms of playing time... for guys like Hayward, Brown and Tatum.

Just read that and have nothing but respect for that kid....it could have been handled better (whomever leaked it) but he gave a really nice Dear Utah letter.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

I have to disagree with that statement. He's probably not even gonna be a starter this year, assuming we re-sign Hardaway Jr. He won't even beat out Prince.

Yeah, you are right.

It does look like the report was correct. Still, I disagree.

Imagine being in his shoes for a second. There are a lot of people he would want to talk to, family friends, both organizations, etc before it goes public.

If he or neither of the teams involved officially gave the word, then the person who leaked it is the POS. Not Hayward.

Especially after all the drama we see ensue when a player does not notify all parties involved. Hell, Westbrook said that was his beef with KD. Not that he left, but that he didn't tell him personally before the announcement. Hayward tried to do this right.

He should have done it 6 hrs ago.

WhAt move does Boston have to make to get max money before he signs?

They can agree without carving out the space. But, in 3 days they need to have the room.

 

[The Derski]

Wait, what did Hayward do?
