One of my peers just the Hungarian Spurs draftee Ádám Hanga. The # says: #TimDuncanwillstay
Don't read too much into it, but likely Hanga won't be taken over until Manu and Duncan won't retire, that's what he is told and he won'tget a contract
these Boston Celtics are very interesting, hmmmm.......
they have long-term planning, a very good basketball vision
they have a very smart coach, a young Coach Pop-like human
and they have a basketball system in place......
SPURS OF THE EAST??!! HMMMMM
It's great for Ian. He's put the work in, and after being set aside as a nothing or emergency player, then as a backup, when he was finally freed he made the NBA recognize his talent. In the think tank free agency thread I speculated it might take 4/60, looks like I was too short.
It feels like it was only yesterday there were threads where I argued with posters who swore Ian couldn't play, and swore by Pop keeping him out of the way, and him never getting a chance. So many were sure he wasn't an NBA player, justifying the judgements without watching and thinking for themselves. They just couldn't see. Just like they couldn't see with Scola. Couldn't see with Splitter. Can't see now with Boban or Simmons. If Ian had returned to the Spurs i could bumped my "Free Ian!" thread, but that's okay.
Ian sucked for years. That he's finally a starter after being in the league for a decade means little.
Wow...great deal! Jealous Spurs couldn't have nabbed him for that price, but I know.... waiting on Durant.
Here's a list of FA's that have signed, their salary, team, and % of the cap:

There was posted somewhere, same list with additional row with salaries in $ for old cap space.

$3M a year seems like a bargain for arena janitors right now. Ennis showed he could light it up, but only for about 9 games at the end of the season. He's either going to be a huge bargain, or a huge waste of 6 Million dollars. I'm really starting to think that it's either Durant, or a bunch of Euros and a D-League call-up or two. I'm sort of getting comfortable with the idea.
I don't know how good their basketball vision is. They destroyed The worst GM in history in the trade with the Nets, Ainge is a decent drafter, and they planned their cap room, which isn't really that hard to do. Their real genius is in their coach. Brad Stevens makes his players better. He's taken some sub-stars and near scrubs and made them look way better than they are.
Boston is terrible. That Thomas guy at 5'7 and Al 15 points per game horford? Common
I don't see how the addition of Horford changes much. He's barely star level, didn't produce in the playoffs. Hrs not a game changer and is 30. The rest of the roster is just okay. Only elite thing they have is their coach.

Free agent forward Andrew Nicholson has agreed to a four-year, $26 million deal with the Wizards, league source tells @TheVertical.
Dedmon is going to get paid.
One thing that might make this more likely than it might otherwise seem is the fact that two years ago, Gasol faced the same choice -- Spurs vs. more money -- chose the bigger payday, and ended up in a disappointing situation. One would think that will bear upon how he resolves the situation this summer. That's not to say that the Spurs are clearly a better situation than anyone else who might offer him money, but if the choice is between the Spurs at a smaller payday and an iffy situation with a bigger payday, the Spurs may have an advantage.
Very sensible, solid take.
Wow - Burke dumped for just a 2nd round pick. Things change quickly in the NBA.
God damn, a second was all it took to get Burke?! Meanwhile we bring back a 40yr old mummy who's worse.
You don't have much to say, do you?
Good point; the only thing that cuts against this is that Pau isnt the typical ring chaser, since, well he has two. I think his desire to win/good situation thing might be a little overstated especially if someone could offer him above 12m.
And it's not like the Spurs can't pay him either. A couple of seasons ago, they were limited to only offering Pau the MLE. This year, we can clear enough cap space to offer him at or near market value.
What's wrong with Timmy coming back?
can you stop posting? it makes my brain hurt.
Entirely too much, in fact.
Put me on ignore. Don't even know who you are
