https://twitter.com/WojVerticalNBA/status/749355739853062148 4/54 for Marvin Williams. Not bad, I thought he might get more. I mean, Solo just got 4/52.

Biyombo is a terrific complemet to a stretch 4. This gives you a pair that is limited on offense, although with well defined roles. While the defense and rebounding become actually stengths. Vuc off the bench.

Ibaka is supposedly angry at being marginalized in OKC (I don't agree, btw) and Orlando will give him touches in the paint. This could be ugly with Biyombo being essentially a zero and Ibaka historically a poor post player who now could very well be facing the attention of two defenders in the pain. It has a better shot at working with Vuc and his ace midrange shot. Ibaka is the only defender but at least rebounding is still there.
Plus, they'll have some of the most impressive sets of biceps in the paint in the entire league.
Ha!
Ibaka is seriously ripped, though.

Bargain.

Marvin Williams has agreed to a four-year, $54.5M deal to return to the Charlotte Hornets.

Not sure if it's been posted yet, but Marvin Williams is returning to Hornets for 4/54.5 million deal. ;)

That's about right. Most people during the season thought someone would throw $20 million at him.

Having him and Harden on the floor together on the defensive end is going to be brutal.

I wonder if that means Nikola Vucevic is available. But you're right, it doesn't make sense.
I was thinking the same thing, Gene.

https://twitter.com/WojVerticalNBA/status/749340862384070661 Not bad. Weird that Solomon Hill racked up DNP-CDs all season and got $13 mil/yr, and Booker started at times for a decent Utah team and only gets $9 mil/yr.

Well choosing to sign Dwight to 3 for $70 mil lead to them trying a juggling act then with Paul and Horford money so not surprised one leaving

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojVerticalNBA
Al Horford plans to sign a four-year, $113M deal with the Boston Celtics, league sources tells @TheVertical.

Nothing bargain about that. Williams is a pretty mediocre role player. Had a decent year last season though.

Horford is a great fit for Boston, but tying up nearly $30 million in Horford, who is weak on the boards and a mediocre scorer is tough to swallow. And I'm not sure there is enough to there to lure Durant. Boston still doesn't have a star, and I don't know if Durant wants to try to win a championship with a bunch of really good role players.
