I was hoping I could sneak a Davion Mitchell reunion with the BAF Timberwolves but eventually got outbid before the it was a done deal. I loved seeing his resurgence in MIA. He’s a crazy good defender and I really, really like his game

Read on Twitter


With a limited budget this offseason we were pretty quickly out of the running for some of our top targets.

Jaylon Tyson is someone I think is well worth the swing. Smooth player who can score at 3 levels, good handle, solid passer, and a quicker release. I liked his game a lot coming out of Cal and hope with some changes in personnel he can become in key piece of the IRL Cav rotation

Bidding window #14 is now open. It will remain open until 4:00PM tomorrow.

Free agency will officially end tomorrow after bidding window #16. At that time, all Bird rights free agents will officially sign their deals and all money will count against the cap. Any team who has Bird money will need to complete any final deals prior to tomorrow evening in order to use that extra cap space.

Any free agent still on the board who has not had a bid placed on them after window #16 will become an UFA subject to normal free agency rules. Teams can begin placing bids at any time after window #16 and the player will sign if no counter bid is given within 6 hours of the offer appearing in the free agency post.

Damn.

I just read like the last 10 pages or so.

Interesting moves. Looks like Hoffa pulled it off.

So is Hoffa the team to beat in the east?
