tOfficial 2015 NBA Draft/Free Agency Thread

[purguy12]

Clippers and Dallas might be talking sign and trade deals with Chandler and Jordan.

 

[ducky]

Miami made a good move in keeping Dragic. I had hoped the Lakers had gone for him before they drafted Russell.

See I don't see how people think that.

Goran at 29 was not a top 10 PG. What is Goran at 30-34 going to be? Slim chance he gets better and a big chance he gets worse.

 

[purguy12]

Knicks are going to miss out again. LOL

 

[WiggyRuss]

I'm surprise Heat fan's are excited about bringing back the exact same team that missed the playoffs last year and in the process completely capped themselves out to the point that improvements moving forward are going to be next to impossible.

lol....anytime you can give a 29 year old point guard who has started 3 years in the NBA and has yet to make an all star team 90 million dollars to come back to the team he couldnt get to the East playoffs after getting to the team while they were at the time IN the playoffs- you HAVE to do it ...

Duncan will likely be "unofficially" promised some sort of cushy front office job.

I am not sure the legality of it....but its probably a "wink and a nod" lifetime security blanket gig.

I think he will take less money if it means they can bring in Lamarcus Aldridge for a title run.

Although, if they dont get LA..... It will be interesting to see why they traded Tiago Splitter for cap space.

There might be somebody else out there they covet instead.

Ellis to Pacers 3 years 32 mill deal. Not 100% yet. that would be a steal for the Pacers. The way contracts are being thrown around that is cheap.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Easy. Just kick their walking aides out from under them.

How many games are 30+ Goran and 33+ Wade likely to play together in the next 4 years? Not enough to justify $40M between the two of them.

Wade/Whiteside/Dragic lost ground to the Celtics and Nets during the seasons last 2 months and went from being in the playoffs- to being on the outside looking in---- BUT dont worry- its ALL going to be different this year!!!!! NEts and Celts are in trouble. lol

 

[purguy12]

Lillard 5 years 120 mill. Wow these contracts are just too crazy now. 24 mill a year. insane.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Bulls got Butler and maybe Snell that can guard LBJ. Im hoping Bulls land Wesley Mathews. That would get us a legit SG and Move Dunleavy to the bench where he belongs. starting lineup of:
Rose
Mathews
Butler
Gasol
Noah

Bench:
Dunleavy
Brooks
Gibson
Mirotic
Portis
McBucketts

Watch out

Maybe if we can combine roster for the playoffs we can dethrone James?

True. and lesson learned.
You think THAT will repeat itself?
IMO, it worked out GREAT based on our projected draft results.

And you didn't learn your karma lesson last year?
Keep bringing up age/injuries....then look at your bench when it mattered.
James' turn IS coming. Not an IF, just a matter of WHEN.

Tell us once again how old Kyrie is, then explain why it matters?

They couldnt even beat the Cavs without Varajeo, Irving, and Love what makes you think they can with the same team lol

Bullshit. The drafted Russell because the team thought he was a better player than Okafor. Both Mitch and B.Scott have said the league is guard-driven and wanted to compete with the likes of Curry, CP3 and Westbrook and hope that Russell can reach elite status one day.

Truth is prob in the middle.

 

[Demonjoe93]

If Millsap is going to play for the Magic, he needs to tell the Hawks real soon so they can have a chance at getting Monroe.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Jeff Zillgitt: Raptors interest in Wes Matthews has led to a scheduled meeting between the two sides, per person with knowledge of meeting.

Just signed Carroll now looking to get Matthews. Damn, Raptors doing work

 

[LAD]

Dethrone him from this :second:?????

 

[Shanemansj13]

So the Raptors can afford to pay Carroll, Matthews, and still keep DeRozen. How much cap space do they have???

That's a SF and 2 SG's.

Watch out

Butler can guard James, he could not guard the other four guys on the court that he forced Lebron to pass to who hit wide open 3's. It used to be based on D, but Garpax has gone and filled the roster with offensive players.

I think Butler takes the 4.5 so he can walk anywhere he wants next year.
