You might as well put a list of free agency options on the wall, projectile vomit at it, measure which one has the most goo on it and guess that's what'll happen as listen to fish.

More importantly, I would expect his overall efficiency to go up.

Best guess: 22/8/7 on 45/36/75%

Combine that with a 23/6/2 from Porzingis.

If Luka avgs 22 a game next year without us adding a third star or him just focusing on the pg aspect of his job to the point he avgs 10 assists a game I'll be seriously disappointed

[DevinHarriswillstart]

Is it even news to say you want a guy for less than the max when he almost assuredly will? Even if he came off the price a little...won't be the Mavs.

I have no choice to because I haven't seen KP be healthy in 2 years. But even if healthy.........


But as of right now we know.....

Lebron, Kuzma and AD
Fox, Barnes, Hield
Jokic, Harris, Milsap,Murray
Harden, Paul, Gordon, Capella, Tucker(subjective to change)
George, Grant, Adams, Westbrook
McCollum, Lillard, Nurkic,
Aldridge, Derozen, Murray
Conley, Mitchell, Gobert, Favors, Ingles
Williams, Ball, Ingram, Holiday
Green, Curry, Klay, KD(subject to change)

Its early to tell what some of these teams will look like some may look worse some may be better. ITs some stacked teams out West. Then there are teams like the Mavs, Suns, T-Wolves who stunk last year but all have some form of generational talent on them.

I expect him to be what he was this year. Probably around 20-21 points a game....6 boards.....7 assists......but I guess it depends how we feel this roster with. If he's averaging 27/8/7.....we must not have any role players and KP must really be hurt. I expect his stats to look similar to last year but I thin the will be more efficient shooting and passing the ball.

We have the cap space and that TPE, so if he wants to come here we can get him...

I don't know if its Fish or reports saying he's not a "fit".....but I just don't see how he isn't. He's still developing too.

Easily in the fight for 5-8 there. Sacramento, Spurs, Blazers, OKC, Denver, and Pelicans all look beatable.

Lol at a few of those(kings and no are most obvious) and boomer damn sure isn't a generational talent unless you mean ayton and he honestly still might be.

As for Lukas numbers Lebron was slightly worse as a rookie and 27/7/7 on a playoff team his second year. Not all player develop at the same rate and Luka obviously isn't the athlete young Lebron was, but a lot of the same basic skills are there and running a pick and roll with kp should motivate some of that. Also I expect luka to be in better shape all of next year. Also you know klay and kd aren't playing right? It's steph draymond looney Quinn cook and minimum guys

I don't know what Ayton is but Booker has potential to be generational talent. The guy scored 70 points in a game. He's already one of the best scorers in the league.

Its too early to tell on KD and Klay. I've read reports Klay shouldn't miss the whole year. KD may be a different story. He may not even be a Warrior. Warriors may stink but trust they will surround Draymon and Steph with some veterans who want to ring chase.

But I was just comparing lineups. IMO, a Warriors lineup with Steph and Draymon are is still deadly with the right pieces.

luka was a better player as a 19 year old rookie than booker.

Another quality big on the market: Houston center Nene is declining his $3.8M option and will become a free agent, league sources tell ESPN.

[MFFL]

I don't know if I would call Nene a quality big but he might have a fit here as a part time banger

[Underdog]

@CarmichaelDave: Interest between the Sacramento Kings and free agent center Dewayne Dedmon is mutual, and strong.

Nothing set yet, but there is confidence on both sides.

Expect a resolution tomorrow.

Still a 5 Day moratorium on actually signing deals but RFA matching went from 3 days to 48 hours

Lakers are getting Kawhi so it's irrelevant.

[Bryan_Wilson]

Yeah I'll believe Kawhi goes to the Lakers when I see it. This off season literally every FA has been linked to the Lakers just like they are every off season.

[EricaLubarsky]

How are all these teams securing deals with players from other teams if they’re not allowed to talk yet?

The hurricane just hit land. I can't keep up with the rumors anymore.

Bucks are waiving Hill. They may be preparing for the match on Brogdon

Seriously. For weeks/months we heard Kyrie was open to going back to Lebron and then he doesn't even meet with them. We heard Kemba would meet with them, and he isn't meeting with anyone he's going to Boston. We heard KD would consider the Lakers and they aren't on the 4 teams listed. Stephen A shit said Kawhi grew up a Lakers fan and Kawhi did an interview this year where he said he hated the Lakers, that he was an Allen Iverson fan. His family are Lakers fans. It's like people forgot that Rich Paul and the Lakers leaked a billion stories to force AD to the Lakers.

They released him because his contract is 18m and only 1m is guaranteed if they cut him. Saving 17m for a backup/serviceable spot starter. From what I've read from twitter and Real GM all of these moves have only freed up maybe 13m under the cap for Lopez. All their salary moves are to free up space to keep Lopez. Matching Brogdon isn't affected by these moves except for future Lux tax implications. IMO if they really love Brogdon they can dump Bledsoe in the future and avoid repeater tax.

And now I heard the Sixers might be Brogdon's biggest suitor even though they're also keeping Jimmy and Harris right? Or maybe they are really just moving the franchise to the France.

Boston renounces Rozier....where does he fit if we strike out on our early targets ?

I guess tampering only exists if you are stupid enough to make public comments

Vucevic is staying in Orlando, 4 for $100 million.

That Bamba pick is David Kahn esque. truly impressive

[EricaLubarsky]

Max for players with 6 or fewer years on league:
27.25mill

Max for players with 7+ years in league
32.70mill

Sad face...

[endtroducing MASKED]

Shams is saying Utah is hard after Bogdanovic, so that option looks to be off the table if it ever was on it.

🧐😖 yea. Especially going to an upward trending Sac team. It would be a bummer but its best to not be overly invested in what I hope for and just trust the FO here.

[Underdog]

@Lefty_Leif: As Heat canvas the league for potential 3rd teams to help absorb salary in a Jimmy Butler sign and trade, I’m told the Dallas Mavericks may be a willing participant if it nets them point guard Goran Dragic.
