I can not believe IT signed for just $2M.

Remember all the fears of him getting a max contract?!

They really brought out the Brinks truck

“They better bring out the Brinks truck,” quipped Thomas during the Celtics’ summer league game on Saturday against Chicago. “They’re paying everybody else. I gotta get something.”

Maybe a small town Brinks truck. He got something, alright. Hey, it's still 2 millllllion dollars. <\Dr. Evil>

Orlando seemed like a destination that made sense but apparently nobody wanted him.

It's weird to me that LAL didn't take a flyer on IT and Boogie for 7M combined.

That would be a horrible team defensively and those are two players whose attitudes are me-first. I wish they did take a flyer

That was 2 years ago. Different landscape now and guys are settling for less money (in some cases a lot less) and/or 1-year contracts. I feel bad for him. He was really, really good for Boston 2 years ago. So good in the clutch that they were calling him "King of the 4th" as a play on Game of Thrones. If anything this illustrates why Booker extended now. I hope IT comes back healthy and makes his money next year where it seems like everyone's a FA and tons of teams will have space.

IT3's one of my favorites, sucks to see him settle for a 1 year minimum. He really needs a team to believe in him and build around him, which is hard to find. I also thought Orlando made a lot of sense. Hope things work out for him in Denver.

Denver has traded Kenneth Farried, Darrell Arthur and a protected 2019 1st round pick to Brooklyn for Isaiah Whitehead in a salary dump.

I would have been fine with the Suns using their salary cap space this way. (not that I don't like Ariza)

Faried and Arthur are both expiring contracts, so this doesn’t buy the Nuggets any cap flexibility, unless they’re planning to use it this summer. Somehow I don’t think they’re doing it to pay Alex Len. Is it just about saving the owners some cash?

I'm sure it's about the luxury tax.

Ya they had a very steep luxury tax bill coming

Jabari seems like a good fit for the Bulls. He should get minutes there and a chance to succeed. He is probably a good match next to Markkanen. Hope he can stay healthy.

I feel bad for the Wolves. It's going to be a big hit if he leaves without anything to show for it.

I used to be a big Jimmy Butler fan.

Now I'm not.
