If you guys want to laugh and take a break, here's Stephen A. Smith after the Knicks missed out on like everyone  :P

Durant $164 million
Kyrie $141 million
Kemba $141 million

Knowing the Knicks won't land a difference making free agent and Stephen A. Smith might completely lose his mind.....priceless.

$36 million a year for tobias harris? wow.
Considering some of the other contracts given so far I wouldn't consider that a wow.

Remove your Sixers fandom for a few minutes and reassess.

Thanks.
He actually took a bit less than his full Max.  If you all thought a near all-star was going to sign for much less than that, you need to go back to remedial NBA financials course.

It's a lot of money, but not a surprise - I fully expected Harris to get the max (or just about). At least Philly didn't lose the MIA pick and Shamet for a rental; Harris will be a big part of their team moving forward. He is a really good player (still probably overpaid, though).
Most of the contracts given out so far are overpays.  The value contracts are for the true stars and good rookies.
"It isn't the high price of stars that is expensive, it's the high price of mediocrity."

Bill Veeck

Exactly.

Overpaying for a guy that is more talented, but not as good a fit for a guy you had on a much better contract (Covington) is a horrible trade off.
They didn't trade Covington for Harris.  They traded Covington and Saric for Butler.
Covington is a really nice role player but we exposed his limitations in the playoffs the previous season.  Covington's streaky shooting and inability to drive by a blind, lame girl scout made easy to layoff him at times.  Can't have that when you've also got Simmons.

I understand they weren’t traded for each other; however, Harris is the Covington replacement going forward. I hope the 133M extra you guys are paying him is well worth it.  ;)

Bit random - but why wouldn't Favors just go back to Utah? Because Rudy is taking his minutes?

This lineup is nice:

Mitchell
Bogy
Ingles
Favors
Rudy

According to Stephen A Smith:

Quote
[The Clippers] believe that the Lakers have no shot, and it's between them and Toronto.

Not necessarily true, but interesting...
