Probably the only guys that interest me are Meyers Leonard, Andrew Nicholson, David Lee, Thomas Robinson, Quincy Acy, Jared Dudley, and David West.

That was on the back end of a contract he signed when he was healthy(ish.) To your point though, it's not his reputation it's his health and his production. He missed half the season two years ago and there were rumblings of microfracture, then he bounced back to play in 71 this season. I think $23M/yr is a massive overpay for 14 & 12, but then again, I have no idea what's going on with these deals. Mozgov and Noah just got insane contracts. I just don't understand why you wouldn't rather have Horford. You could probably get him for a little bit less and he actually hits his FTs so you can play him in the 4th Q. Maybe Horford already told ATL he was out of there? I'm enjoying all the free agency randomness though.*
*Just as long as the Suns don't do anything freakin' stupid.
It's more the "just" 14 and 12 that blows me away. In Orlando, especially as he left, he was a defensive alpha who teams thought could give them 20 & 14 if properly used and motivated. He was a franchise player, at least as much as Derozan. But between injuries, bad chemistry teams, and his own lack of motivation and leadership, now he's just a piece of the puzzle. Maybe not even a great piece.

JMZ IA Baccccck. I love this move. It's a great move for the young guys, it's essentially for the new age MLE. Dudley is an absolute pro.
Edit: for nostalgic reasons I love this move, for basketball reasons I just like it. He isn't going to put you over the top, but its good use of money to have Duds helping the younger guys o and off the court. You know what ypu are getting plus it's a movable contract in yr 3.

Mike Conley, 5 years, $153 million. Grizzlies. 15 ppg and 6 assists per game. $30 million a season. Largest contract overall in NBA history. Couldn't be more deserving for a more productive guy. I'm glad the new revenue structure in the NBA isn't leading to ridiculous contacts being handed out to marginally good point guards. He's going to make as much per season as Knight, Bledsoe and Booker, combined.
Unbelievable.

Let me type this again so I know it's not a typo and my eyes aren't fooling me.
Mike Conley, 5 years, $153 million. $30 million per season. Highest overall salary in history and first $30 million per season deal.

Seems a long shot, but there you go.

So with Conley getting $153 million, it's safe to say LeBron extends for $500 million?

My question to Memphis is: what do you honestly think this team can do? A big 3 of Parsons, Gasol, and Conley?! Where is that taking you. $300 million sunk in three great role players. And the team is still a fringe playoff team.

Sometimes you have to go all in if you want to chase that 5th seed perennially. No risk it, no biscuit, as my favorite coach likes to say.

Thomas Robinson?! That really surprises me. Yuck! You really want to bring FOE back to Phoenix?!

Hornacek got a pretty good cast in NY. It'll be interesting to see what he does with it.

Jordan still holds the record for the highest salary in a year. He made 33.1 mill in 97-98.
