But I do wonder if they've given him a deadline if they gave him an offer.

I was in a meeting and the future of the franchise just altered. Darn work-- I should just buy the team and hang out in the stands like Cuban does.

*Looks at crypto portfolio*

...hmm, anyone want to go splitsies? :lol:

Maybe just out of price range. I would have liked a 2 year deal in Boston for him.

Well he also has familiarity with playing for the Clippers. And there was a article a couple yrs ago where Batrum said he wanted to keep playing for the Clippers till he retires and that he think Ty Lue saved his career or something like that.

Seems like Batum and Lue are *tight*.

So this is one of the least surprising signings of the offseason..

Get it done and let's do this thing! I'm happy if they sign Tillman, leave a spot open, and see how summer league goes.

Damn, he would be a great fit with us! I could see us moving on from older guys because of the way our money is set up tho, the younger you go the longer you can keep people together (less money if it’s rookie scale).

Dubs asking for that protected 2nd round pick to sweeten the deal.

Did we decide to not cap threads at 100 pages? Post padding post either way (I’m not on that Wall, you don’t need me on that Wall)

Looking to get the last post in before the lock. Great couple days. All I need is Tillman or Bamba.

I like the risk Dallas takes here. If Klay can return to some semblance of his former ability, he'll make a nice compliment to Luka and Kyrie. That and the Naji signing.

Would be happy to run it back in the finals, but I think it's going to be a harder path for both finalists this next season.

Can't wait until the Mavs are trying to dump all their new signings again.

Always thought this year would be a tank year for Ainge. Acted like they were tanking the last two and then kind of didn't, then said he wanted to go for it now this off-season, only to turn around and pilot for the bottom.

I think it's happening - though Philly now that would get some attention.

This seems like the year. It looks like Juhann hasn't developed that much, at least the 3 point shot hasn't improved. I think it's time to bring him over and see what he is made of.

But Begarin may not want to come over to play in Maine for lesser pay.

I could see Markannen to PHI actually.

They can keep KJ Martin's cap hold on the books and still sign PG/Drummond with cap space. They can use BBall Paul's $7.7M in a trade and sign and trade KJM for a bloated 3 year deal with the last 2 years non guaranteed. They have to make it double whatever the difference is needed to match Markannen's salary because BYC. Then they send Utah all of their picks.

Then they sue room exception to go for Oubre, minimum to Gordon, etc.
