If the Knicks were to somehow get Wade... they'd be a walking med recovery unit - Rose, Melo, Noah, Wade, even the youngster KP got hurt last year.

Brittle. Seriously talented but brittle as hell.

[cd98]

Howard signing w Hawks. Yikes

[Kindergarten Cop]

If Atlanta signed Howard, I assume that means Horford is gone... If Horford goes to Boston, the Celts probably release Jerebko-- a good option for the Spurs...

I had heard that Atlanta's plan was to pair the two of them together. They still have the flexibility to make that happen, unless Horford states that he Dhaka no desire to stay.

I always thought Horford would be better served playing PF next to a real C, but it seems like this is too little, too late... Plus, what happens to Paul Millsap? He's too good to come off the bench.

Rajon Rondo indeed had a free-agent meeting today with the Bulls in Chicago, league sources tell marcJSpears and me

[SAGirl]

Not only yeah, but hell yeah. And they aren't going to be putting any big pieces around him this offseason. You guys are starting to see the pinch I was talking about, and why I thought taking a year to re-build. Free up a shitload of cap space, to bring in a top-tier FA, and manufacture a 40-win season to score a lottery pick.

Making the playoffs isn't enough. Aldridge didn't come here for second round (or first round) bounces. I was talking about a quick, controlled re-build. The Spurs need to pull a rabbit out of the hat, or they are going to be forced into a real, and much more ugly re-build. Right now I'm down to hoping for them finding a few over-achievers from the D-League or Europe.

But, yeah, they damned well better put some pieces in to be serious contenders, or they'll never get any big name players to come. The worst thing they could do is be a 50-win team for the next couple of seasons. Either find a way to be better than that, or commit a year to re-build and get the pain over with.
If they were desperate for winning now at all coasts a minitank is not it because it takes time to develop picks, even lottery picks into reliable help in the playoffs. Its more likely than not that you will get someone who can help a little bit but is not going to be a difference maker.

What you are really wishing for is trades for veterans that can help right now. Trading Tony Parker is a need in a scenario like this, maybe Diaw too bc he's coasted long enough.

[Kawhitstorm]

Whatever it would take to get either Hill or Ian, just throw it at Dedmon.

Dedmon averages 6 fouls per 36 playing against scrubs.:lol (Willie Reed better)

In any case, Jordan Hill got paid 10 mill under the old CBA & Ian is in the 15 mill territory.

[SAGirl]

Apparently, Kawhi Leonard has a personal matter and won't be attending the meeting. What could be more important than meeting with a generational talent like KD and trying to convince him to join the team? Unless, of course, that generational talent plays your position.
I am guessing his child is about to get born...

[Kawhitstorm]

I always thought Horford would be better served playing PF next to a real C, but it seems like this is too little, too late... Plus, what happens to Paul Millsap? He's too good to come off the bench.

Millsap is better than soft ass Horford.:lol

[Kawhitstorm]

749019507029602304

Knicks have no space unless he want to play for close to MLE & he has stated that he HATES playing in cold cities including his hometown Chicago.:lol

Players don't even want to use the Kings as a leverage.:lmao

[Tully365]

Millsap is better than soft ass Horford.:lol

That's why I think Horford is gone... What's the Hawks' pitch gonna be? Re-sign with us and come off the bench?

I can imagine a sign & trade in the works with Boston that brings back a player or two.

[look_at_g_shred]

Wonder who that big man is who had us #1 on his list (thinking emoji)

[RayTdropout]

Why not try to get wade? He's still has 2 solid years left in him and is clutch performer in the playoffs. I just don't think he'd come to San Antonio after being in Miami his entire career

[Kindergarten Cop]

They said earlier on ESPN Radio that the Knicks had around $15M left and a hole at SG (which would be a perfect fit for both).

[Leetonidas]

So no real buzz about Pau and SA so far. probably means he's coming tbh

He has 20 mill sitting on the table from the Heat but he want the MAX which starts at 28 mill for him plus there are no state taxes in Florida.

Are you sure about that $20M? I hadn't heard any numbers coming out of Miami regarding Wade.

Evan Turner got close to 20 mill, do you realistically think he's being offered less than Turner?:lol

[NASpurs]

So last year, more or less after the Spurs talked with Aldridge, they sent Splitter to the Hawks for cap space without even knowing Aldridge's decision. Aldridge was torn between Spurs and the Suns for a while and Splitter was gone. Do you think something similar is going to happen tomorrow?

Nope.

[Kindergarten Cop]

A player is only worth what someone is willing to offer - Wade is tired of taking discounts with the promise of being paid later (which is what Miami wants him to do again as they chase Durant and max out Whiteside. Now, there might be a team that WOULD offer him more than what Turner got, but he obviously wants to find a team that he would either have a chance at a ring or have the opportunity to play with his friend(s).

[Hoops Czar]

Yeah, I suppose that could be a reason however, there's no reason to hide it unless you're not the father (JK). I just find it very puzzling that your best player would rather attend to a personal matter rather than help convince one of the 3-5 best players in the game to join your team. My definition of a personal matter is one in which the player doesn't want to disclose publicly. A birth of his child doesn't fit that description.

On one hand KD seems less likely to join the Spurs, so the Spurs would be foolish to prematurely trade or cut players.

On the other hand, the moves they have to make are less severe/impactful than trading Splitter, so maybe the risk is worth the reward.

[tonight...you]

Well we did all hear he got a "very aggressive offer" from the Blazers and nothing since so it obviously wasn't aggressive enough.
The man's holding out for some reason since Portland is a pretty good team with a cosmopolitan city... So... There's that.

The Nets are setting the market for low-tier fliers at multiple millions of dollars. That's going to make it extremely difficult to for the Spurs to even get value there. We'll see what the Euros get, but it seems like the odds of picking up Bourousis on even a slightly risky contract are very long.

This thought process is what I was alluding to in my initial reaction. Once he meets with the teams he'll likely have a different outlook.

My personal opinion is that this tweet was meant as a set up for the next set of tweets sounding something like "Sources say Durant was 'blown away' by (insert team name here). Seriously considering joining up with (insert star players here)". It's all a ratings, click-bait game.

The medical situation of his girlfriend is nobody's business. For all we know the girlfriend is bedridden at this point or something is up.

There are reasons to miss obviously, but if it's really that he just doesn't want to go, it's a bad look. It would be very similar to the shit Derrick Rose pulled in 2010. But as SAG said, lots of reasons that could tie him up.

Probably on a two year deal with some option in year two. Bertans is good, but let's not act like he was an MVP candidate last year. And let's also not forget he's had two ACL surgeries on the same knee.

why do a lot of people make fun of Chris Broussard? Just curious, don't know much about that dude

[Chinook]

In which case he'd take the QO option for the minimum and be a FA next season right? That's still not desirable IMO.

It's a tender, not a QO (they are very different offers, not trying to be a jerk), and it's complicated. The Spurs have to buy Bertans out for him to sign, so him forcing the team's hands would also mean finding $650k of his own money to pay to his team. THEN he'd take the $543k tender in hopes of getting more a year later. It's an extremely unlikely scenario.

Mavs trying to make a run at the 2006 Finals w/ the Wade/Dirk duo.:lol

After agreeing to an estimated $70.5MM/3yr deal with the Dallas Mavericks, Dwyane Wade stated in a press release,"I am excited to join the Dallas Mavericks. I believe the Mavericks offer the best opportunity for me to play on a championship contender, and I expect to lead my new team to the NBA championship next season. Money was never an important consideration."

He probably was impressed. But the Clippers don't control their own destiny; they would either need to dump a bunch of salary (i.e. Paul, Redick, Durant, Griffin, Jordan eat up literally the whole cap, leaving the room exception and min deals) or do a sign-and-trade, to which the Thunder could just tell them to fuck themselves.

Thanks for clarifying. :tu I am admittedly very ignorant on these issues. I just don't think it makes sense to lowball him. I don't think he'll be anything major specially his first season. I am not convinced he'll even be durable, and I am reminded on the Daye's of the world. Until we see him in the NBA we don't even know if he can defend at this level. He has red flags like poor rebounding numbers etc. but 6'10 guys who can hit a 3 and are not Bonner do have a market. 6/2 is at least a starting point. If I were the Spurs I'd try to get a 3rd season out of that but we might not be able to.

Bertans is slated to make more than LJC and Murray combined. I don't think he's getting low balled at all. In fact, it would triple his salary from last season. Don't let these NBA salaries skew your perspective.

Dirk staying with Mavs all these years shows he's not a front runner so hopefully that means he would go to a team like the Spurs over GSW.
