Williams was trash. No interest in him. Not sure he is an upgrade on DJ at this point



He's not what he once was. That's a given. He is an experienced player that was at one point for several years in the conversation of one of the best point gaurds in the league. I think he would potentially be a good veteran teacher for elf and the other young guys. He probably won't come here nor do I have any clue if there is interest from orlando. He is still definitely an upgrade over dj

his game and Elf's are completely different. Not the player i would choose to teach Elf. Williams is done.

Im not even being sarcastic, of all the real FA (curry/durant/hayward/blake/CP3 arent coming here), he would be the one that would make me the happiest to be an orlando fan.
But i honestly think he will end up on the cavs replacing JR Smith and be that shooter that lebron/kyrie need


i would love this. doubt he would do it though. He is a pros pro that could mentor the youngsters. One of those guys who started out his nba career barely getting any playing time and yet became a fantastic player because of it.

So we have evan+Ross and you want to splash money to JJ?

Listen to your brain not your heart

23 million dollar price tag too

That's the price you have to pay when your team sucks and your center is made of glass

Yeah, shame we don't sign every scrub who's getting a contract elsewhere.

Mbah a moute:

2016-17 Per-Game Stats: 6.1 points, 2.1 rebounds, 0.5 assists, 1.0 steals, 0.4 blocks

Top 100 Ranking: 51

Either the league is skeptical of Luc Mbah a Moute's shooting rates, or he's asking for too much money after declining a $2.3 million player option. Something is holding up the signing of a player who last season looked like an asset in the modern game.

The Clippers fared 10.7 points better per 100 possessions with him than without, and while the talent around him helped, so did his two-way play. He didn't take a ton of threes (1.4 per game), but he made a high enough percentage (39.1) not to spoil the spacing. And his defense was stout as always—he finished with a 2.32 defensive real plus-minus (ninth among power forwards), while opponents shot 3.4 percent worse against him than their average.

If his shooting holds up, he's a bona fide three-and-D forward who can play and defend multiple positions. Given the high priority placed on versatility right now, it's tough to tell why he hasn't spawned more chatter.

That's odd statement considering he started at SF next to PF Griffin. I like the guy but I'm not sure we should consider signing him. We got AG, Isaac, Mario and Fournier/Ross occupying SF/PF positions. I'd rather take a look at some SG with good offense to replace Meeks. MGH won't cut it. Not too many to pick from though (Terry, Henderson, Rush, Morrow?) and the best option left - Ian Clark - probably will be too expensive.

I m happy with those 3 signings
Happy with the Isaac draft pick
The trades were weak

Not a bad start from our new management
