Around the league: June 2014

You guys have to just come to terms w/ Bledsoe getting the max. It's going to happen. We just need to make sure we don't go sign Monroe to the max or Deng to $12M/yr as move #2.

Yeah, I've been getting ready since about 1/3 of the regular season. Once the Lakers are rejected by Melo I think they go after Bledsoe. And agreed on Monroe/Deng.

No to Deng period - no matter what he may cost. Better to keep Tucker.

More overpaying. The full MLE is being dished out like candy.

And Sebastian Telfair is going to the Thunder to play one year for the vet min.

Personal favorite Thabo Sefolosha to the Hawks for 3/12.

That could bode well for us keeping Tucker.....

[wpmiller42]

I've always like Thabo, and 3/12 is not too bad of a deal for him. Maybe the insanity is starting to wear out...

[Gladiator]

It often goes like that - after the initial crazy rush things settle down a bit and you get some quite sensible deals.

Yep, I'd do the same deal for him NOW. Get 'er done.

Dirk stays in Dallas. 3/30.

Kaman goes to Portland. Two years 9.8M total, second year only 1M guaranteed.

Sounds good, but Thabo's stock was clearly on the decline after a lackluster season where he probably fell from 3D status to just defensive specialist. Exactly the opposite to Tucker.

[Aztec Sunsfan]

Kaman is out, there goes another posible target for the Heat, they are running out of options, even if they retain the Nice 3, they won't be favorites to even get out of the East

[Ring_Wanted]

There is still a lot left, and it's not like Kaman would have been the ultimate difference maker, but yes, Riley must be sweating profusely right now.

This only helps the Suns chances with Lebron right?

[Aztec Sunsfan]

The longer it takes for Wade to accept a real pay cut, the higher the chance of Lebron leaving. At first, I tought they had a plan, but either is a very crappy and disorganized one, or they are really on diferent sides of the discusion here. When I heard that this guys more than make up on sponsorships, any money they would lose on salary, it just doesn't make sense with situations like this, where Wade clearly is not willing to left on the table his "hard earned" 40 mill, and stretched them over 4 years.

Tell ya what, if Houston come calling with a max deal for Boshosaurus I think he goes home to Texas and it wont matter what Wade does.

That would be sweet, Lebron and Bosh, dissing Wade and leaving him behind after he refuses to take one for the team.

[Ring_Wanted]

Mori, you know one stupid contract where the agent is certainly a main factor? Ben Gordon. Shares agent with Dipo. Oh, and second year is team option.

[Ring_Wanted]

Oh, and Carey, remember that tweet about the Suns spending the MLE after making all the FA signings? It's not the MLE. They were refering to the 'room exception', which is 50% of the MLE for two years, and is available to teams after using their cap space. That's how the Bobcats signed McRoberts after getting Jefferson, for instance.
