Leaguewide Free Agent Rumors

[green_bballers13]

I like ET resigning, Pau Gasol, Al Jefferson, and Amir Johnson option picked up.

IT/Rozier
Bradley/Smart/Hunter
Crowder/ET/Brown
Gasol/Olynk
Amir/Big Al

2 Euros stashed, Bentil, Young, and DJax winning D-League championship.

I would overpay Gasol, Jefferson, and ET but only on 1-2 year deals. I'm not sure ET does this.

Sources: NBA's been calling GM's today, probing on reports of FA meetings already set for Friday. "Rules" prohibit contact before midnight.

Practice of pre-set 12:01 AM meetings among teams/agents/players has been going on for years -- and rule has seldom, if ever, been enforced.

Might be in wake of the rumored $18M deal already agreed upon for Noah

$18M per year??  I mean the "near-lock" report suggested the Knicks were going to seriously overpay, but unless that's for one season that's a crazy figure.  Knowing the Knicks it'll be for 4.

I posted a tweet above which IMO is insightful. Expensive but short contracts will probably be the trend this summer.

Yeah I've said the same elsewhere.  $18 million would make sense for Noah for 1 year; I'm just interested to see how many years the Knicks were dumb enough to add to that.  Since it's the Knicks I'm pretty sure they'll be adding at least one.

Hearing that Dwight Howard is leaning toward either Boston or Atlanta. Doesn't look like anybody else is left in the picture.

Please don't tell me that that's why he drafted and has, for some reason, elected to keep James Young, lol .

This is funny.

As is the inability of some people on this blog to consider opinions other than their own. Creates paranoia, which is also funny.

Uninformed narcissism also is funny.

Grow up.

There's absolutely no connection between those two things, but whatever .

You guys getting stoked for $50 million per year to Dwight Howard and Chandler Parsons?!?!?!?

If they are 1+1 Team option.   I could live with it.  Not my first choice but I can live with it.

Well Look at AB. Very good friends with KD, went to church together the last time KD was in Boston.

He drafted him and he couldn't play for the first two and a half years. Dribbled off his foot constantly. Every one was telling DA to trade him, and a crap pic. Then he gets hurt a lot, but Allen goes down and AB gets his shot. Plays well, but get hurt again during playoffs. Lands a contract that is more than he was worth at the time, every one goes nuts about it, even though right now its a REALLY good contract because he thankfully got good and cap has risen.

But we wondered why when AB was so bad for the first half of his career why DA held on to him.....

I'll just be over here drinking my anit government chip non gluten, bio wheat grass tonic keeping the sun out of my eyes with my tinfoil hat.

Me thinks your timeline is a little off, there.  Two and a half years into Bradley's career was the midpoint of the 12-13 season, where he was a starter, and Ray was no longer on the team, having left for Miami during the previous summer.  Avery actually started midway through the shortened 11-12 season, which was his sophomore campaign, after Allen injured his ankle, and Bradley remained in the starting lineup until game 4 against the 76ers in the playoffs, iirc, when he was lost for the rest of the postseason due to a shoulder injury.

I'd also like to point out that Bradley was hurt for much of his rookie year, so he wasn't even with the team that much, iirc.  In the final game of the regular season, however, he showed his potential on both ends when he scored 20 points against the Knicks.  Have a look at his performance, below.  There's more in that one game from Bradley than we've seen in two years from James Young.

He's still not a good ball handler or passer, though.

The Knicks are totally going for it this season, LOL. Phil is quite old, I guess he is in a rush to see his team win before he's done. Unfortunately for NY fans, the end result is classic Knicks management. Overpay a bunch of washed up, old superstars, sell a lot of tickets, lose a lot, disappoint the fans, rinse and repeat.
