I am liking it, too. Waiting for the stoopid money to get spent to see what more reasonable deals are to be made. Plus, teams will start renouncing RFAs who will be late arriving UFAs in the market. Perhaps we can even pick up a little gravy by being a third team trade facilitator.
If they sign him now it puts pressure on GSW. They will have only 3 days to match. That would put pressure on Durant to make a decision.No one wants to play long term in Oklahoma
Please Dallas land Barnes so you can even be more terrible than you already are and committed long term to an average player. Why are they waiting so long to sign him to an offer sheet?
No Im saying the best decision is for him to come here and its pretty obvious. Its a very easy pick. If he cant see that then he is low IQ.
No wonder the spurs been looking at many low key bigs. The good ones are out of the budget.
The fact that these MONSTER deals are being thrown out for bigs and Pau is not among them gives me comfort. Seems pretty clear he's holding out for a deal from a contender.
Golden State would be re ed to match regardless of KD's decision
The league is just making more money. The owners are also making more money.
i need to be an agent tbh
Exactly. Better deals this route.
I agree completely. Harrison Barnes made some sort of deal with the Devil. The dude is even on the Olympic team.

Free agent Ian Mahinmi has agreed to a four year, $64M deal with Washington, league source tells The Vertical.

He'll probably get an offer the Spurs don't even come close to matching. I wouldn't get my hopes up if I were you.
Exactly. So the FO needs to move on and sign Pau before the MoFo signs elsewhere. Free agency will be over with before Durant makes his decision.
actually going to the Warriors would be even better for him.
The teams contending for him aren't big players otherwise.
To be fair, OKC lost Harden for a 6m difference (he wanted 60m and OKC was willing to pay 54m at most).A few notes:
Woj bleeds!! First time I've seen him back peddle.
How does it make sense that ATL is ok paying Horford 130M but they draw the line at 6M total (1.2M a year for 5 years)
Interesting that Horford nixed OKC because KD didn't commit long term....interesting.
But yeah, it was funny to see Woj trying to fix his 1st tweet when he said that Boston and WAS were basically out. 2 minutes later Horford tweets a bunch a green stuff finally choosing the Celtics.
He probably already has. Portland reportedly went after him hard and made him a major priority. No deal.
He's the Warriors plan B so if the Spurs want Gasol, they'd better act quick.
Disagree, He wouldnt be first option there. He would face the highest taxes and cost of living and get absolutely destroyed by the media.
Nothing, including offer sheets, can be signed until after the moratorium. KD will make his decision long before that.
I don't see how that pressures the Dubs. Durant will almost certainly decide before the 7th...
uhhhggggg I forgot about that yuck. Dwight has a reputation for getting coaches fired.
Good luck Bud!
Bigger surprise of free agency...the ridiculous amount of guaranteed money being paid to middling NBA players, or Woj throwing out an inaccurate off-base tweet?But yeah, it was funny to see Woj trying to fix his 1st tweet when he said that Boston and WAS were basically out. 2 minutes later Horford tweets a bunch a green stuff finally choosing the Celtics.
I'm going with the latter.
Definitely, the amount of money being paid out was entirely predictable.
That's be great news for the Spurs if Bud got fired.
