Wow. A lot of embarrassing quotes in that thread. The portion debating if dragic was better then Reggie is just absurd.

It was painfully obvious Reggie was the better guard from the get.

WOW that thread.

Yup some off the wall comments, even after people said the cap is going up. If the cap didn't go up still a good deal tho.

Have to read through the thread on our own board to see what our fans were saying. That things like 28 pages tho

Doesn't make sense though. The Knicks have a PG now that they traded for Rose... :wink:

Go to Atlanta please.

Doesn't that take away our, "Al Horford come to Detroit, we have Andre so you won't have to play center" argument tho?
No. Howard is a shell of his former self.

The next few days are going to be interesting.

Howard hasnt done himself any favors with his recent attitude, and play. I dont think he will inspire anyone to do anything.

I'm not saying I buy it, just saying it gives them that angle to try

Lin signed with the Nets for 3/36m. A decent contract for the Nets. Seems like Lin's main goal was to be a starting PG, so Detroit (and many other teams) never had a chance.

I like the deal though as it will hurt Charlotte.

Yeah, not too happy we weren't able to land Lin. He's one of the best shot blocking PGs in the league and hustles hard. Not to mention, he can run the PnR better than any backup PG will as evidenced by his Tyson Chandler PnR during Linsanity.

Otherwise, the Nets got a steal. 12 million is literally nothing in this new age cap era.

Charlotte looks so dumb right now. 120 million is star money, Batum isn't worth it!

Al Jefferson only got 3/30, even with deals skyrocketing.

Goes to show what's happening to big men like him.

That said, Pacers have added Teague, Young, and Jefferson. Not sure those are the right moves, but they're making a push, to be sure.

I am not a huge fan of Young and Jefferson, especially not together. But yeah, they've definitely added talent, and good chance it makes them better.

Lots of money being thrown around so far, but that Mozgov deal takes the cake for being the most ridiculous. What are the lakers thinking paying him 16m annually over 4 years? Good lord.

It can certainly be argued that Beal, DeRozan, and Batum aren't worth the max, but at least they're solid players. If that's what it took to retain those guys, I can't really fault the contracts too much.

I know, he better not be banned for maijuana or I'm going to be pissed! It's basically 2017, that sh#t should be legal or people shouldn't be given a life sentences for that anymore( 2yrs without NBA activity probably means he's done with the NBA).

I like the moves Indy has made. Not sure how it will all fit, but they are getting solid value and upgrading on talent.

I'm glad the Pacers signed Jefferson. Before we struggled against the Pacers and the Hornets, with Jefferson killing Drummond in the paint, but now that Jefferson is on the Pacers that gives us a shot at beating the Hornets at the very least even though the Pacers will own our souls for the next couple years.

Well, now we know why Ish Smith got tired of waiting for Philly.

They sign Jerryd Bayless for 3 years and 27 million. Would you rather have Ish for what we got or Jerryd for 3 million more per year?
