2019 Summer Rumors official thread

Just some really stupid money going to players that shouldn't be getting that money. Silly season in full effect.

Yeah this reminds me of 3 years ago, like when LAL gave Mozgov and Deng like 130M combined (good times...)

Man, I love the fit of Malcolm Brogdon in Indiana with Victor Oladipo.

Guys getting stupid money

[Who]

Malcolm Brogdon has agreed to a four-year, $85M deal with Indiana, league sources tell ESPN.

Nice. I love Brogdon and Oladipo together.

Oladipo needs to dribble the ball a lot. A low usage combo guard like Brogdon is perfect for him. Those two should have great on-court chemistry together.

Indiana has agreed to a free agent deal with Jeremy Lamb, league sources tell ESPN.

Good get by Indy. However, can Brogdon, Oladipo, and Lamb all play at once?

[Phantom255x]

Indiana making moves. Now Lamb to Indiana.

This was my first thought too. It seems like some teams have learned nothing from 2016. But I'm also not sure some of these teams have an alternative to obtain talent.

Defensively, that's a tough backcourt to beat.

There are going to be some big regrets.  Expect some more to come.  Don't think the Knicks have made a stupidly overpay signing yet.

I think so. Brogdon's shooting helps space the floor. I think Lamb can get by as a smallball 3.

Utah getting rid of Derrick Favors. I wouldn't mind him on the Celtics

Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba

With the move, the Jazz will have to say goodbye to Derrick Favors. Very tough day for the organization, but a move the Jazz clearly felt was needed

[tazzmaniac]

Per Woj,

Thomas Bryant has agreed to a three-year, $25M deal to return to the Washington Wizards, agent Todd Ramasar (@tramasar) tells ESPN.

[Vox_Populi]

On an unrelated note, why would Kawhi not sign a short-term deal with Toronto? Milwaukee lost one of their best players. Boston will be worse. Philly might be worse, although Simmons and Embiid will get better. Durant is out for a year. Oladipo will need time.

They should reach the Finals again if he stays.

Yes. Me too. I would be very happy with Favors as our new center.

Assuming we get the full MLE, I'd offer him the whole thing.
