Had my sights set on Graham for Durant straight up. Wouldn't even make the Nets give up a 2nd. Thats just the kind of guy I am

I always enjoy seeing the insane contracts thrown around on the first day of free agency. Guys always get way more than everyone expected.

I'm glad we've managed to avoid making it rain on a role player (so far)

And now you see why Wagner and Kispert were high draft picks. Shooter specialists with size are hard to come by. Here’s hoping Kubolka looks like an NBA player.

One trick ponies, Robinson and McBuckets made bank. Imagine Kispert when his rookie contract is up. He'll probably sign for 1/4 of a billion by then lol.

Well Richaun Holmes is still out there, thought he'd jump off the board.

Any other notable FAs still uncommitted?

Yikes.

OG last year. Trent this year. FVV recently.

I feel like Toronto has panic spent ever since Kawhi cut bait.

I think teams get too wrapped up on losing their players for nothing and they overpay badly instead of just cutting bait.

Siakam, VanVleet, Anunoby and now Trent will account for around $90mil of their salary next season - and then a little more every season for the next 3 seasons.

If the salary cap is set at $112mil next season is Siakam, VanVleet, Anunoby and Trent the four guys you want taking up around 80-85% of it?

I like that for them. Still young with some potential.
