Well you knew someone was going to give it to him given the way this FA period has gone so far, but I'm a little surprised it was PHX

Eric Gordon and the Phoenix Suns agree to a Maximum Offer sheet worth $58 million over 4 years, sources said.

I'd give this one a WTF, but then I see what Toronto's paying the guy Gordon's replacing.
Stupid money being thrown around. 90% of these teams will regret their offers within a year at most.
So what the have the spurs done so far this offseason?
It's scary when you see a scrub like Landry Fields getting 6m/year. He is a SG that can't shoot.
Danny Green is better in every aspect of the game compared to him.

Free agent center Spencer Hawes has reached agreement on a two-year, $13M-plus extension with Philadelphia, league sources tell Y! Sports.
Hollinger and Lowe are reporting just that today, he got taxpayer MLE.
Bruno is a monster, tbh.
Nets working to get Teletovic for taxpayer MLE; key implications for Howard chase (Insider) http://es.pn/NmFm57

How exactly do you work to get a player to take 9M when you already agreed to give him 15M? Russian billionaire funny business.
Okay, since I've been cagey about it all day, but now the news is spilling -- yes, the Nets got Teletovic for the $3.09M non-taxpayer MLE.
...and when I said "non-taxpayer MLE," I meant "taxpayer MLE." In other words, Nets will NOT have a hard cap at about $74.3 million.

My guess is that there have never been a $15M offer. It's likely the result of a misunderstanding. You can really well imagine the journalist source saying it's a 3 years deal for the full MLE with the journalist thinking of the non-taxpayer MLE while the soruce was talking about the taxpayer MLE.
I'm not one for conspiracy theories, but if that was the case, why all the reports of working to get the player to take the lower figure? Why not simply a report that the initial account was erroneous? Also, there's the fact that a 2M buyout of his European contract was required. That's much easier to swallow on a 15M deal.
At any rate, if there was any funny business nothing will come of it. If Brooklyn's owner has managed to leverage his tremendous wealth in ways that are not quite within the letter or spirit of the CBA, those ways will not be scrutinized. A superteam will emerge in Brooklyn to serve as a suitable rival for the one in Miami.

Just going up online & via SportsCenter: Sources say Suns have consented to sign-and-trade Steve Nash to Lakers for package of future picks
Just going up online: Michael Beasley has committed to sign with Phoenix Suns on a three-year, $18 mil, sources close to situation tell

Marc J. Spears @SpearsNBAYahoo
7-3 center Hasheem Thabeet agrees to two-year deal with @okcthunder, source tells Y! Second overall pick '10 draft joining his fourth team.
Insurance against the possibility that they can't keep Ibaka or have to amnesty Perkins? Otherwise, every minute he plays means a better player is on the bench.
Curious move by Mr. Presti.
Grant Hill will either join Steve Nash and the Lakers or retire, a source close to the veteran forward told me.

LOL no free agent here yet, this sucks so far. I was hoping for something to happen, but damn nothing yet.
Oh well, Hill is softer than I thought. If he is OK physically then I think he has plenty of game left, but to tie himself to Steve Nash like this is pathetic. There's plenty of good teams that can use him, but it sounds like he's too soft to play with anyone other than Nash. If he doesn't get to play with Nash and retires because of it is just silly.

Going online now: Suns move quickly after Steve Nash trade and strike four-year deal with Goran Dragic worth $34 million, sources tell ESPN
Awesome. Suns trade Dragic and a first, then sign him a year later.
I wouldn't want to give Dragic that, but that's the market price for him.
