True, but is Noah at this point any better than Lopez was?
Yeah it's a wash imo but without Lopez they need someone. The price tag is a lil steep but it's the new climate.
I told you guys, Thunder will go for him. And I will say this - if Warriors get Durant or Thunder get Horford and keep Durant, it does not matter what we do. Those teams would straight up be better than us.
Horford is one of the poorest rebounders in the league man, at least we'll have that going for us. I'm going to feel bad for whatever team pays him max money.
Pop doesn't know what he has in Boban..... Better than Whiteside.
I am not going to argue about his contract he will get but he is a solid player, and he has played out of position his whole career, including the last few years with a undersized pf next to him. Playing besides Adams, a legit 7ft force, and two dominate scorers, would be extremely difficult to match. It would take Thunder losing Kanter and another minor piece to get the right numbers to work. Essentially it would be trading Ibaka and Kanter for Victor and Horford. That is a clear upgrade with better balance.
Joakim Noah to the Knicks is confirmed. They're reportedly going to pay him $18M a year...

Wow... Noah is garbage!
That's a scary team. It's actually not good for the league to have these mega teams that are going to come out of the sudden rises in cap.
I could be humble and tell you if it was my team that was facing the possibility to gather that much talent in one off-season, I would be ecstatic, bc I would. But there are teams in the league that are entirely role players in comparison and it's not just the 76ers. The current Magic, the Lakers, the apparently rebuilding Bulls... just Jimmy Butler and he's in the trading block reportedly, the Bucks, Phoenix. And these are team whose best players are pretty much by themselves with a weird cast of youngsters. Too much concentration of talent in a couple of teams. I definitely don't want to see Atlanta go to too.
How can they negotiate before the moratorium ends?Phil Jackson
How does Noah at 18 mill makes Pau Gasol look? How about Boban?
Maybe our big FA acquisition is Boban. I am all for it but if that's the case: play him Pop!
DMC telling me Duncan isn't worth 6mil
Eric Gordon is crap

Get used to the ridiculous FA salaries this year. Good players will get the max, useful role players 10-20mil. It'll break your brain if you don't prepare for it, but the new NBA has a $100mil salary cap. $10mil+ will be standard for 4-7th players from here on in. That's why Green is such good value.
Anyone have any ideas on how OKC would be able to make room for Horford?
Kanter will be dumped, then they are damn close. Renounce Waiters for example. And they are pretty close to being complete.
Cheers.Spurs are looking for every import possible.
With Duncan potentially getting paid not to play, I don't think this is all that realistic. He didn't make a lot of money last season, but still, I don't see the team having that salary open.
What's it say!? Translators assemble.
