tOfficial 2015 NBA Draft/Free Agency Thread

[wildturkey]

it opens up larger market for other players. i saw it discussed few minutes ago if he's worth that then what would a player like damarre carroll command?

12 to 15 would be my guess.

That's roughly 8 mil per year for a good defender and rebounder. With the cap going to 90 mil next season and over 100 mil in 2017, that salary is pennies. It's a slight overpay but he's better than people give him credit for. He just doesn't stuff a stat sheet

18 a year

I'll believe it when Woj says it.

Exactly but I did see it on the Free Agency show on NBATV

 

[WiggyRuss]

He hasnt. But I wouldnt take his word for it about rumors. He would be one of the last on my list

YAh- I saw the same thing about Sheridan- who is usually rock solid- saying pretty much what I have been saying as well- Love is most likely going back to the CAvs but there is still a very real and legitimate shot he leaves....2-1 pretty much.

We shall see!

The Los Angeles Lakers were the first to sit down with LaMarcus Aldridge when free agency opened Tuesday night, and their meeting lasted nearly two hours, sources told ESPN.com. The meeting went “really well,” a source who was in the room for the Lakers’ presentation told ESPN.com’s Ramona Shelburne.

Dragic 5-yr $90 mill

Dragic 5-yr $90 mill

Wade's next..no doubt.
Then a little maneuvering to acquire a shooter or 2 and then we will have a VERY GOOD roster, with depth, top to bottom.

They need a better bench. Wade will sign.

Bulls about to sign Dunleavy for 3 years 15 mill. Very happy with this deal. lets just hope he isn't a starter. He is a nice role player off the bench.

IF Wade resigns.....He will, bank on it.
IF Dragic resigns.....Done
IF Whiteside stays sane and healthy (that goes for any player in the world)
IF Bosh stays healthy both with on court stuff and the blod clot stuff(you act like he's coming off of knee surgery).
IF Deng resigns and has not lost 3 steps. Done.
IF they can find some shooting for the vet minimum They will, bank on it.
IF Winslow gives more than the typical late lotto pick

Steal of the draft by EVERY expert.




Lot's of "if's" falling in line rather quickly for Riley.

Meanwhile, Love has scheduled a meeting with the Lakers... WHY?? If he knows he's going back to Cavs.
It can't be about money because he KNOWS exactly what the Cavs have to pay.

Chris Broussard: Sources: @Paul Millsap met w/Orlando last night, was offered Mac 4 yr, $80 million deal. Millsap will decide Btwn ATL & Orl.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Which means nothing because salaries escalate every year.
Why not bring up what Jordan was paid?

 

[purguy12]

Miami paid way too for him. WOW

 

[purguy12]

If Im millsap stay in Atlanta

 

[purguy12]

Going to be a busy day today. Sorry boss no production from me today. LOL all about Free Agency today.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Miami paid way too for him. WOW

Probably so. Maxed out a guy at 29 that has probably hit his peak already. The way the contracts are going, it probably isnt more than expected honestly.

$18 mil is a lot for him, he got the same as Leonard lol

They need a better bench. Wade will sign.

Well, as of now...
Winslow, McRoberts, the other kid they drafted, Bird, UD, Chalmers, Ennis, Nappier, Johnson...

I mean, nothing spectacular this year, but the starting 5 is arguably the best in the league (depending on what happens the next couple of weeks).

We still need a shooter or 2, but at least the bench brings some youth, energy and defense so they can hold their own against other second stringers,
