How has that worked out for you?

Personally, I don't want him back at almost any price. I'm sick of seeing a guy with that much basketball talent continue to underachieve because he can't or won't take care of his body.

Atlanta flinched at last minute and now Milsap must be pissed. Might as well trade him now. He is as good a small one this off season.

Whats the move with the rockets signing gordon? What position iz he going to play with Harden?

Andrew McCeltic · Post #1007 » by **Andrew McCeltic** » Sun Jul 3, 2016 1:19 am

Harden will be a 3, I guess, his defense is a lost cause anyway

looks like they're going full pace.

Andrew McCeltic · Post #1008 » by **Andrew McCeltic** » Sun Jul 3, 2016 1:24 am

Kings got Afflalo btw, so they got a 1st for Belinelli and then added AA, not bad. Need a Rondo replacement and could trade Gay, should be interesting to see if their new coach can make the pieces fit.

The Beal deal reminds me so much of when the Wizards re-signed Arenas and there were big red flags about his health(knees). At the time i knew it was going to bite them in the ass and it eventually did.

They still have Ariza.

If you want Free Agency Grades, the letter of the day is F.

Clippers, Knicks, Hornets, Kings, Magic, Lakers, Pelicans, Nuggets, Wizards, Grizzlies, the guy in charge of the Costa Concordia was making better decisions.

Mozgov and Deng, in Hollywood, terrible. I don't know who the GM is for the Clippers but a huge pay rise for Austin Rivers makes no sense, and not sure how Courtney Lee gets all that Knicks money, the Magic getting Big Smacks when they already have a very good center in Vucevic, and Sacramento filling up on Tolliver and Afflalo?

The good teams, hard to see. Houston is crazy fun, Harden with four outside shooters, wild stuff. R Anderson, Ariza, Harden, E Gordon, Beverley, they might lose 140 to 135 but at least they scored 135. Utah, should have the piece in Joe Johnson for the playoffs. Bird and Indiana got plenty of value without giving up a lot. Those Celtics you people talk about did well.

How on earth does Crabbe get more money than Rondo? Nets are desperately overpaying.

I concur. In my opinion, you've to trade Millsap to Phoenix or whichever other team you've talked to about trading him. I mean, Atlanta must be doing damage control right now. Regardless, Millsap can opt out after next season.

Maybe Atlanta can pry Booker and either Bender or Chriss away from Phoenix in the deal for Millsap. After next season, you can build your team around Schroder, Booker and Bender or Chriss.

I've lost a lot of respect for Durant after today.

campybatman · Post #1015 » by **campybatman** » Mon Jul 4, 2016 5:34 pm

Well, the biggest winners after the Durant signing are Mark Cuban (signs Harrison Barnes) and Amir Johnson assuming that Ainge retains him.

In my opinion, DeMarcus Cousins should request a trade and Oklahoma City should be the team to inquire about his availability ASAP to fill the void left by Durant's departure to Golden State.

Why wouldn't we trade for Cousins????

Because it doesn't matter. Welcome to the NBA. Make the BKN picks and say a prayer.

Right now Crabbe is a better player. Unlike Rondo, he can shoot and play some defense. And BTW Crabbe is denying that he has a deal with the Nets.

Gonna miss Timmy. He done seen enough of this generation of superfriends. Manu's retiring too. They did it the right way.
