Free Agency & Trades Thread 2 **NOW OPEN**

[douggood]

So Clipper essentially replace Norm with John Collins and Beal on a 2 year deal. Really great bit of business for them. Phoenix, well don’t know what the **** the plan is with them now.

They’re kind of ****.

Suns got under the tax and aprons. That's what they wanted.

Beal must have wanted out of there badly enough that he gave up salary, in addition to having his remaining salary stretched out over 5 years.

Suns got under the tax apron but extended Booker for 150 million on the back end. They should be getting grilled for this. At least the Bucks bought out Lillard to sign Myles Turner and appease Giannis, Suns don’t get a huge benefit because at some point they’ll have to resign their rookie guys and free agents

suns saved $200 million dollars this season with this move.

We should have let go of Boucher years ago. He still can't find a home.

We should have let go of Boucher years ago. He still can't find a home.

He should play in Europe like JV.

What tf kind of drunk ass logic is this?

Trying to understand… you’re implying that because no GM has yet realized that Boucher is their best bet left on the market that somehow that means that (despite the eye test and mounds of evidence to the contrary) he should have been out of the league years ago and were the idiots/losers for having employed him as an NBA player post ‘ship?

Did you bang your head? How many fingers am I holding up? ☝️

He's been a waste of a roster spot for years now. But yes, it seems no team is interested in Boucher.

If Boucher has been a waste of space then what about the many others he was playing ahead of and better than? Boucher isnt perfect but hes been one of our best bench players in recent years.

Its also why we've been a joke lately but that should tell you hes far ahead of many players in terms of skill level. Just horrible logic to trash a guy who has been very professional during his raptors tenure and is canadian on top of it.

Boucher is an extremely valuable bench piece. He instantly makes an impact pretty much whenever he comes into the game. His only problem was they drafted Scottie Barnes, who’s best position is also PF. Then they decided to rebuild and play the kids to look ahead for the future instead of trying to win games last year. So he fell out of the rotation in favor of developing the kids… and then traded for Ingram, and drafted CMB. They just dont have any need for another PF.


Now they have insane depth up and down the roster. That second unit is going to be a nightmare… for other teams….. and for the starters during practices

So his 2 year 121 mil deal is now essentially 2 year 150 + 1 year player option for 16 mil
All while rehabbing for the 1st year.

Portland got a pretty sweet deal for missing out on Dame for 2 seasons…

Shams Charania: Portland traded Damian Lillard for Jrue Holiday, Toumani Camara, and assets in 2023 -- then Holiday to Boston for Robert Williams III, Malcolm Brogdon and assets. Now, the Blazers have both Lillard and Holiday, plus Williams, Camara, a 2029 first-rounder and two Bucks swaps.

Keep feeding talent to the West and let them beat up on one another.

[Son Goku 25]

He isn't the same and isn't gonna make a huge difference but a timely vet and big shot maker in limited mins can be big for them.. they got great defensive pieces to protect him.

[Zeno]

Dame is not playing and is probably a negative asset for the 2 additional seasons but out of reverence for his past people will pretend is is a good deal for the Blazers

[treerollins]

once yang makes a few highlight plays they’ll sell an MLE worth of lillard jerseys in china so it’s not a crazy idea. they’ll probably try to flip holiday again next offseason and put dame in the role anfernee simons had last year

Boucher has actually been pretty productive in his role for us.

He's so done

On the morning of March 23, 2023, a bettor at a sportsbook in Biloxi, Mississippi, placed $13,759 in bets on the unders on Rozier's statistics in a game that night between the Charlotte Hornets and New Orleans Pelicans, according to the documents, which ESPN acquired through an open records request. All 30 bets won, after Rozier, an eight-year veteran with the Hornets at the time, exited 10 minutes into the game, citing a foot issue.

He didn’t Play again that season. Could have been anyone with knowledge of a pre-existing foot issue that spread the info. I don’t think this is an open and shut as Porter or how Beasley looks to be.

Washington should definitely pick him up. New Orleans should too. Can we sign and trade him to New Orleans for Karlo Matkovic?
