It seems to me that the Kings are trying to cash in with KK's contract -- given the ridic contract Mozgov got.


Kanter looks like a bargain based on Noah and Mozgov right now. Koufos is beyond good value.


no kiddin! Koufus 4 yr 33 mil deal signed last yr looks a huge steal - hard to believe but we are seeing insanity

Maybe waiting until Sunday to meet with Durant wasn't such a smart move.

Lin to Nets for 3/36 - I actually think that's a great price and would have done that for the Sixers.

That's a great deal for any team but for the Nets it's incredible.

Someone please explain the Magic to me. They worked really hard at the deadline clearing off salary. And I think we all expected them to make major runs at big free agents--yet we aren't even hearing about meetings. Then they add Meeks and Augustin? What's the plan here? Ibaka was a clear win-now move, but they need more than him and a couple of mediocre backup guards.

I would expect Fournier to get a lot of that money. And I guess they would go hard after a wing, but the SF market is sort of crazy right now.

I'm asking myself the same thing about the Kings.

Dallas really needs Deng at this point so I shouldn't say this, but....

Deng to the Wolves would be perfect. He helps on the court, he provides great leadership, and can help teach Thibs' defense. I hope the Wolves can get that done. If Rubio can stay healthy again they could be sneaky good as soon as this upcoming season.

I heard Skiles left because of Elfrid's lack of shooting & Vucevic's lack of defense. It appears that their primary goal is adding players that fit them. Serge is one of the few defensive Bigs that can spread the floor. DJ & Jodie are elite shooters, when healthy, if nothing else. They are obviously scared of aiming high and striking out. I am guessing that certain promises where made to Vogel when he was hired.

Seen it. Parsons would be a good addition for Memphis. Plus it makes their pitch super easy:

Uh $40M more money, oh and we just signed the other's guys 2nd best player. The end.

At this point he is and should be our #1 free agent target. Would be fine with 3 years, 20m a year with a TO for the 3rd year, which might be an overpay, but with some of the deals being handed out, it makes sense. I think he's a perfect fit. I think a lineup of Rubio/LaVine/Wiggins/Deng/Towns wins a lot of games with a solid bench.

Yeah, supposedly the Jazz are interested in Deng also (looks like our top FA priority is a wing defender) but I doubt we'd be the top bidder financially, and he wouldn't even start for us, so why come here?

So I agree Minny is the perfect spot for him.

Loul Deng would be such a good fit on the Wolves. A guy who can guard SF and PF and not liability from three and moves well off the ball.
