2017 Free Agency Rumors/Signings Thread

Rudy Gay to the Spurs for 2/17 with a PO per Woj. Gotta say, the fit's a bit of a head-scratcher.

Not really, imo.  Gay, even if he loses at least some of his quickness/athleticism should still be an absolute cannon off the bench and always seems to play his best, on both ends, against the best.  If they could get Afflalo, too, they could very well beat the Warriors, imo, depending on what happens with Parker (I still don't understand how and why they could pass on Jawun Evans at the end of the first round, but whatever) and Ginobili, respectively, of course.

Fwiw, it would also be pretty funny to see the Spurs, as opposed to the Kings, get the most out of Tyreke Evans, Afflalo, and Gay.  San Antonio really isn't that far away from being able to win it all, imo, but yeah, they really need to get Afflalo, in addition to a couple of other pieces, to be able to so.

Even for a vocal critic of Rudy, I have to admit the Spurs got excellent value. However, he's got to be the least Spursy player in the entire NBA. He's a ball-stopper who doesn't play defense. Then again, if anyone can take Gay's skills and translate them into positive NBA basketball, it's Pop.

Honestly don't think they're in the same stratosphere as GSW, nor would they be with a new and improved Gay-Afflalo-etc.  Club is so well-run that they seem to overachieve like the Celtics do even after losing so much of their talent.  I don't see it.  Rudy Gay is dumb, the Spurs are not.  But whatever, there's till only two real teams in the NBA.

Pretty steep fall for Tyreke

Evidently, neither does Kevin Pritchard.

Tyreke Evans signs 1 yr 3.3 mill deal with grizzlies

What a bargain for Tyreke Evans.

Shocked Sacramento let him go. He would have worked great with George Hill.

Now the rejected Boston offer makes sense. He apparently has an aversion to quality draft picks.

With Bradley gone a guy that can create some offense may be pretty useful if it is cheap. Although he is terrible defensively and would need to play along side Smart and never IT....

The 2nd year is only 1.5M guaranteed.

I don't know if it's been mentioned or not but Atlanta has agreed to a buyout of Jamal Crawford. Is there any chance we can sign him? I have no idea how buyouts affect the cap and how much we would be liable for that's even IF he wanted to join us. He is buddies with IT. Sorry I see it now 2 posts above.
