Joe Johnson gets 2 years 22 million from the Hawks. Honestly that looks good compared to what we've been seeing.

He's going to the Jazz no?

How does Evan Turner get paid that much money yet so many people seem to think Denzel Valentine (who can actually shoot) was not worth a top 20 pick? His potential is higher than Evan Turner...

Pelicans ruined their team.

Yeah, and I knew that at the time of posting. Misspoke.

It's actually a good deal. I just don't know why he wouldn't go to more of a contender

Man, I can't believe the only piece we're adding is weak a#s Ish Smith. We need a starting caliber 3 or 4 in the worst way.

You don't consider Harris and Morris starting caliber??

I didn't realize free agency was over already.

Lakers are out of their minds. I can maybe see doing a 2 year deal or something, but that's straight up terrible.

At this rate I wouldn't be surprised if they offered Kobe a max contract to come back.

Grizz are talking with Eric Gordon. I don't think they have enough left to sign him. But if they do, that team becomes very interesting when/if healthy. Parsons and Gordon finally add some legit range to the solid core of Gasol, Randolph, Conley, Allen.

Harris? Yes!
Morris? No!

Nobody that's relevant is left in the free agency pool. Horford is going to OKC or Washington, Durant is going back to OKC and the Lakers just made me faint with that ridiculous Deng signing!

Morris is better than Tobias imo.

I really like that move for Orlando. Either to pair with Vucevic at center or to replace him with Nikola possibly on the move.

Getting Fournier for $85 million over 5 years was good in this market too. The rest of their moves weren't good.

So your starting frontcourt is Biyambo and Ibaka? That would be brutal as hell on offense.

Holy hell.

The Magic seem utterly directionless.

I have never like Vucevic as he is one of the worst defensive bigmen in the league. I know some like Orlandos younger players but they are as far as you can get from a playoff team without having seen them play yet.

Maybe that changes when I see that group but man, they have let go of so many players and added Ibaka, DJ, and Biyambo. That to me is BRUTAL.

Bucks definitely making some solid moves to address their biggest issues.

Wonder if they'll be back in the mix next year. They're better spaced, might get some internal improvement from their young core. It could be.
