Free agency starts / reported signings (merged)

[Who]

Sacramento Kings All-NBA C Domantas Sabonis has agreed to a contract renegotiation and extension for a total of $217M over five years — including $195M in new money, his agents Greg Lawrence and Jason Ranne tell ESPN.

After how he played in the playoffs? Why?

Make him prove it next year. Too much money for a guy who no-showed in the playoffs and failed to beat up on a tiny Warriors team that he should, as an offensive orientated 3rd team All-NBA center, destroy.

They got pretty dang close to beating that Warriors team which is a pretty huge turn around in the space of a year.

This will look like a steal in a year or two, because he will age like his dad.

My problem is with the Barnes deal.

Because H Barnes is not a true PF?

Pretty much. I understand that Sac are always going to struggle to get high caliber free agents, and maybe he becomes a good piece for another trade to land a 3rd all-star... but I've just never been high on him for some reason.

Now that I really think about it, he's probably a good safe option at 18 million per, until they can make another really strong move.

Problem resolved.

I like Sac, and like all small market teams (except the Spurs) want them to succeed.

Why do Memphis want Patty Mills? Where does he play?

They signed D-Rose as well.

G: Ja Morant, M Smart, D Rose, P Mills
G: D Bane, L Kennard, Konchar
F: Z Williams, D Roddy, J LaRavia
F: J Jackson, B Clarke, S Aldama
C: S Adams, X Tillman

They have GG Jackson to add as well. Maybe he will be a two way contract.

They are already at 15 players (without GG Jackson) and haven't signed a starting level SF to replace Dillon Brooks yet. All 3 of those SFs are question marks heading into next season.

Might they start Luke Kennard at SF? Or go small with M Smart and Bane at SG & SF?  What are they doing?

Z Williams has been a disappointment for them so I doubt he is slated to start unless if he turns it around. My guess is Kennard will start at SF, and when Morant comes back you might see Morant, Bane, and Smart all in there at times. Up front Clarke will miss most of the season with an injury, and I’m not sure if Adams will be ready to start the season. Aldama was a pleasant surprise for them last season, and he should be getting of playing time as well.

I say Memphis would start Smart, Bane & Morant together with Adams & Jackson..weird putting Smart name on another team

Mo Wagner stays in Orlando for 2 years, $16 million.  I did think we gave up on him too quickly, although I’m also surprised at this contract.

Also, 4 of Orlando’s 16 players under contract went to Michigan, which is a bit odd for a school that’s only got about 10 players in the NBA right now.

Anyone getting Prokhorov vibes from the Suns owner and his spending habits?

You mean he’s a rich dude who will get tired of spending so much in two years?

[Birdman]

Kings getting Vezenkov is pretty good..MVP in euro league

When will PBS make his next move? Almost all the guys are being picked up in the market. Let's make some noise again, besides Porzingis and Brissett.

I think he's done except for Grant.

Thats what it seems like to me. If Grant loses his market and is back for a year it really does set the rotation.

and if he leaves it kind of guides you with what position you actually need here.

I think he's done with anything major honestly. Probably vet-minimum guys to round out the bench who can play spot minutes. maybe Blake griffin is back..

San Antonio is the 7th largest city in the US.

But it’s the 31st largest media market and 25th largest metropolitan area, which is much more relevant to its size compared to other NBA teams than the number of people in the city limits.
