Figured I would make a general free agency post for reactions and discussions of news. Feel free to post FA signings in the comments or just give your thoughts on things so far!
Honestly feels like the Rockets massively overpaid for FVV… Blazers overpaid for Jerami Grant. We all knew Draymond wasn’t getting a max but 4/100 is definitely lower than the sum I was thinking of - the Warriors got off great in this deal. Bruce Brown deservedly so got the bag. Good for him.
I don’t know about Draymond, I feel he’s going to have a massive drop off in 2-3 years and $25M is going to look pretty bad by then.
By then the Warriors window will have closed and they’ll be looking to start a rebuild. I wouldn’t be surprised if Draymond and Curry both retire in the same offseason.
I just like how Dray and Dame had that fancy dinner just to rejoin the dubs for $100m lol
As a Bucks fan, I’m still nervously waiting for Brook Lopez
Guess you’re good now.
Desmond Bane just signed a max deal with the Grizzlies. 5/$207. I mean, he’s good but a max?? I didn’t see that coming.
Completely agree. It’ll be interesting to watch how that contract ages.
Definitely an overpay imo.
Really shocked that it looks like not only is Lillard requesting a trade, but specifically to the Miami Heat. Definitely limits what kind of return the Blazers can get…
my question is are the Heat really going to be better off after this anyway once they finish trading away or losing all their depth?
It feels like worse off considering they lost Strus and Vincent already
Wonder how much KD had a role in for Yuta to join the Suns. Seemed like KD liked him while he was on the Nets.
Happy with the Twolves moves so far. Just gotta resign Ant and Jaden now.
Is Ant going to get a max I assume?
Haven’t been keeping up, anything specific? I don’t remember you having a lot of wiggle room after the Gobert trade
Will be following here for the updates/discussion
Nothing too crazy so far, more drama at ESPN rn.
RIP Jeff Van Gundy. Can’t believe they picked Mark Jackson over him
I know he’s old but I still think D-Rose might make some sense on the Grizzlies. A bit weird we didn’t use the full mid-level on someone but there weren’t any great options at guard, unless you covet someone like Schroder
Rose is a fantastic team player and will definitely help things in the locker room.
Bucks resigned Middleton which was an obvious move, but losing Jevon Carter and Joe Ingles could end up hurting them. Will be interested to see who they fill those spots up with. I think resigning Brook Lopez is a must for them
