How the hell is Ibaka only 27?

Derrick Rose is only 28? Seems 34ish.

So do we want someone to sign KCP? Can't make up my mind.

Zach Lowe: “As uncomfortable as it is to say that, the league, not the league office, teams believe that (Serge Ibaka) is older than his listed age. Whether he is or not, and what are the ethical issues of saying that, I don’t know, but it affects the free agency market for him.”

Ha!

Flake staying with the Clips.

Flake getting 5 years at $173 million. That is beyond nuts! John wall is going to get 4 years at $170 mil... I remember when Alan Houston got 7 years at $55 mil and we thought that was crazy money.

Back to Flake. A 1 dimensional scorer who does Kia commercials and he's about to make $35 mil a year.

Timone

Ha! Flake.

I'm with ya...but didn't Houston get like $120 Million? It was something super insane like that. $20 mill a year for sure.

Wondering where Lowry ends up now, because it was looking like he was heading to MIN.

Left Detroit for the Franchise Futility for $56 of 7 years, resigned with the Bermuda Triangles for $100 million and played 2 full season before always being broken.

Yeah, that was his first contract I was talking about. It was earth shattering at the time considering he wasn't a star either and then the salaries just went through the roof after that. I remember when Jordan signed his last contract which was 1 year at $36 mil and this is 1997-98. With inflation for 2017 it's probably 36.1 mil (according to the government haha)

Timone

Redick going to the Sixers for 1/$23m

MikeMyers
07-01-2017, 05:55 PM
This is crazy ass money being thrown around. This isn't "rich", this is wealth. He signed a 4 year, 27 mil contract in 2013 and he's going to be getting most of this in 1 year. Wow.

MikeMyers
07-01-2017, 06:06 PM
My guess on Baynes is going to be 3 years and $33 mil.

Timone
07-01-2017, 07:12 PM
More like 3 years for $133m

Vinny
07-01-2017, 07:16 PM
Yeah, seriously if he gets less than 50 he's going to be disappointed.

Timone
07-02-2017, 05:24 PM
Lowry re-signing with the Craptors

Timone
07-02-2017, 05:25 PM
Taj is going to the Wolves - 2 years, $28m

MikeMyers
07-02-2017, 06:23 PM
Lebron signed Korver

Timone
07-03-2017, 06:58 PM
Millsap - Nuggets

3 years, $90m damn

Timone
07-03-2017, 07:01 PM
McLemore to the Grizz - 2 years/$10.7m

Timone
07-04-2017, 04:15 PM
Gallinari S&T to the Clippers is on the horizon.

Zach Randolph (2/$24m) and George Hill (3/$57m) to the Queens.

Timone

Not hearing anything about Aron Baynes

MikeMyers
07-09-2017, 04:35 PM
Free agent center Aron Baynes has reached agreement on a one-year, $4.3M deal with the Boston Celtics, league sources tell The Vertical.

LOL@Aron Baynes declining 6.5 mil option

Timone

Watch Baynes go off on the Pistons in one of the games this upcoming season. 10 points.

Pistons superstar Michael Gbinije signs with the Golden State Warriors -- surely, that piece that will put them over the edge to be in title contention next year!
