Around the League: The Off-season

Did not expect that

Did not expect that

I'd rather not play for the Suns as well.

Darren Collison: Hmm, my only choice is to play with the Suns next year.

"I have decided to retire from the NBA."

Gambo says Lakers’ top target is Russell, but that they won’t offer him the max.

Gambo reversed himself today and said the complete opposite lol. He said that Russell is not their top target but that they will offer him the max (if Kawhi goes elsewhere).

He said Kawhi is their top target, then Russell, then Collison (no longer an option now apparently), then Goran Dragic.

Now it makes sense that he only wanted to play for a contender and was willing to take less money from a contender. He was probably thinking of playing one last year before retiring.

Don't kink shame us rosterbators! hahaha. It is fun and does no harm. Great way to learn about the cba and other teams too.

What about the hair on your palms?

Can't see it, I've gone blind!

Not that I wanted Darren Collison but that just makes it more competitive for us to get a PG.

That’s true, but there are still a ton. I figure Beverley goes elsewhere. Indiana probably gets Rubio. Kemba and Kyrie will go to big markets. There are a ton of restricted PG’s(Rozier, Jones, Satoransky, Wright, Russell, Brogdon) And there is always Joseph, Hill, Rondo, Burke, Payton. We’ll get one. I’d target one of the restricted guys. Russell and Rozier could be easily attainable as their teams need to renounce them to sign Kyrie and Kemba.

[specialsauce]

Dude just scratch all that turd on that last list off. Don’t bother with any of them.

[In2ition]

If 2-3 of the following PGs leave the Eastern conference, what is the hierarchy of PGs left in the Eastern conference?
Kyrie
Kemba
DLo
Brogdan

[JeremyG]

Wouldn’t the Nets rather have an expiring Tyler Johnson than Wiggins’ contract???

The Suns wouldn’t even have to stretch Johnson in that case. And they still aren’t even willing to meet with Russell??? I can’t handle this front office!!! Ugh.



If the Suns were pursuing him, there would be a report of them meeting with him at the beginning of free agency. Gambo was right all along. Sadly. Sickeningly. This is worse than the Knicks...at least they try to get free agents.

[Drewsprocket]

I just want 2013 Dragic back.

Which means they would no longer be allowed to sign-and-trade him, right?

There's a part of me that thinks a lot of this is smokescreening so it doesn't look like tampering on our part.

I am prepared to be disappointed tho.

Yeah, but also means no ROFR to worry about. We could renounce Oubre and sign him outright, assuming he’ll accept a contract starting at the ~22M we’d have in that case.
