Official Offseason News and Rumors

[AZ Sun]

Good player to have for floor spacing though

Channing frye to magic 4 years 32 million. That's a lot of cash 8 million? Frye is valuable to a team but damn that's a lot

Overpay. I am glad the Suns didn't choose to match. But this makes me wonder why they weren't more aggressive with Hawes. To me Hawes is the better player right now & years younger, yet signed for half the money.

Broussard couldn't even get it right. The offer for Bosh was 4 yrs/$88 mil, not $96

Speaking of Suns, I haven't heard anything from them yet

 

[AZ Sun]

Suns need to move on from the Lebron sweepstakes. He's not coming, if he does I'll eat my own foot.

Channing Frye has agreed to a four-year, $32 million deal with the Magic, source tells Yahoo Sports.

Everyone is getting overpaid....What's new?

Outside of Lowry & I guess Diaw/Mills, who the hell got money they deserved or got underpaid?

 

[DJ Fieri]

Not sure what Orlando is doing after their draft and that signing.

SMH.

 

[DJ Fieri]

At most, Frye deserved the MLE, around 5.3 million per season. This is insane.

 

[DJ Fieri]

They have Tobias Harris (he can play either forward spot), Kyle O'Quinn, Aaron Gordon, and Andrew Nicholson.

What's their plan?

He opted out of $6.8 mil. So I assumed he would likely get 3 years at $18-21 mil. But to get a 4th year at an average of $8 mil a years seems like way too much.

 

[AZ Sun]

Dirk is going to make $10 mil this year, Frye will get $8 million. Jesus Christ.

still too much for bosh.

I thought it was a mistake for him to opt out of that deal....I'm not always right. Apparently, his agent knew what he could fetch on the open market.

I'm sitting here stunned.

I know, right?

 

[DJ Fieri]

They are overloaded at PF, unless they are going to pay him 8 million a season to be a stretch 5 and backup Vucevic.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Or trade one of the young PF's. I just don't know what Orlando's plan is.

 

[Davis_Mike]

Broussard couldn't even get it right. The offer for Bosh was 4 yrs/$88 mil, not $96

I was wondering how they could come up with that $96 mil number. The numbers didn't add up correctly to me.

Heat's use of exceptions is a game-changer when it comes to Bosh. There no longer is any need to ask him to take significantly less.

Ira Winderman @IraHeatBeat · 2h
In fact, this is the way the Bosh camp wanted it to go. With Heat not needing space, there basically is no need for Bosh to take any cut.

Ira Winderman @IraHeatBeat · 2h
To sum up: The storyline of Heat asking Bosh for major cut no longer is a storyline. Plenty of room left before luxury-tax "cliff

I just don't understand the continued narrative of Heat asking Bosh to take a major pay cut. By Heat using exceptions there is no such need

This is true. Also they probably laid it out on how much they're going to pay everyone
