NBA: 2014 NBA Free Agency thread

[Thread]

Better to lose out on Frye than pay him $32 million, cubby.

I wouldn't a signed him for a buck. But, they thought he was the second coming of Jesus here and they are bitter.

Close to 6 million per year for 9 and 6 on 43%?

You're loving it, I bet?

& in full force this afternoon before the signing blowing his horn for him like he was the greatest.

This lends more credence to my "Crawford + pieces for Ariza" theory from earlier:

The only reason we would even want yet another shooting guard is if Jamal's gone, tbh....

true... i'm not sure i agree with that direction though. Crawford has been perfect for them. but they just keep stockpiling 2-guards, so something's gotta give

I disagree that Jamal has been "perfect" for us, tbh.... Doc clearly wants to emulate the Spurs, hence his choice to install the motion offense last year and why he's started to value floor spacing and passing above everything else in his signings.... Jamal's iso-chucking and lack of any other skills when his shot isn't falling doesn't fit with the direction the Clippers are going in - that was clear as day during the OKC series when the starters would move the ball at will for long stretches until Jamal checked in and completely destroyed the offense....

We also haven't had a legitimate starting small forward since Maggette left and we have very little cap space, so we would need to do a sign-and-trade to get anyone decent....

Meanwhile, Stephenson's best offer is less than $9 Million a year.

Not even Jordan is dumb enough to offer det boi Lance eight figures.

Our bigs rotation would be insane with Blake, DJ, Hawes, and Ed Davis.... still need that small forward though....

Knowing you guys you'd grab another spot up shooting 2-guard

I don't think Bird does. Might be reading too much into it, but Bird's offer seems to be purposely "low" (although in reality it's really fair) as a means to drive him to go elsewhere. The fact it's a take it or leave it offer as well signals his true intentions.

Looks like Bird was being overly generous with his 44M offer to Lance. Not only did the dummy cost himself money with his antics, he even cost himself during free agency as well.
