Yeah 8-31 was a massive hole, and I knew of all the injuries, Quickley just got back and is on limited minutes, I think this is the first time the last 2 games with their full rotation, all of a sudde

Cool - that's reasonable enough.  However, after seeing the G-League lineup they played last night, I think I better wait until the start of the next season to go...

It might be the most shocking trade I've ever seen. Superstar for superstar and it came out of absolutely nowhere.

Most relieved man on the face of the earth: Michael Grange.

 

Least happy: Ric Bucher.

I think Vasquez takes a bit of a discount to come back. He loves it here and is like a 12 year old girl on twitter posting how much he loves this place.

 

PP is a bit of a tougher one. I want him back but I wouldn't be willing to go higher than 3/15 ish... Especially with Bruno and Bebe now on board. Amir can still play 25+ MPG.

Haha......he called it all along.

 

Grange has been in the business for a long time. He's not some twitter dork trying to be a superstar. He definitely upped his stock with this.

So what cap room do we have to sign FAs at this point?

 

We should be pretty close to the cap but we have a MLE that we can use (5M or so per year)... Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

 

MLE:

 

$5.15 million for non-taxpaying teams over the cap

$3.09 million for taxpaying teams over the cap

$2.575 million for teams with cap room

Well this is good news. This team will only get better over time now barring any major injuries.

I would much rather have PPat back over GV. His role is so much more important to the success of the team. Ideally both are back but if one has to go, it must be GV.

Ujiri and Leiweke said they would re-sign Lowry and they did. These guys walk the walk.

 

So far this offseason we've re-signed our star PG to a very reasonable deal, got rid of our worst player, acquired a former 6th man of the year candidate, and also got a huge upside former 1st round pick thrown in for good measure.

 

That's an A+ offseason if I've ever seen one.

I agree with you but I don't want to overspend on a position like PF where we have some pretty solid depth going forward. Bebe and Bruno will need to get at least some minutes and Amir is still pretty good. 5-6M a year? 100% yes. Anything more and you find someone else.

Bulls just amnestied Boozer which somewhat hurts PP's market.

 

Melo signing incoming?

Nice. Reasonable contract considering the NBA has decided to go all NHL early in free agency.

 

Since LeBron is a FA and Lance Stephenson might be on the move, can an argument be made for top team in the east next year?

On the same page as you there for sure. Even 6 is probably rich for my blood. Was hoping to get him on a 3/12 or 4/16 deal but with the way FA has gone, I'm very confident right now.

I don't follow basketball and know nothing about it.

 

Is he good? Or wasn't last year a one hit wonder thing?

 

Can you spell it for me in a baseball comparison?

Top 5 PG, team leader, runs the offense, loves the city, was extremely clutch, the guy would completely take over the 4th quarter if necessary, whether he was having a bad game until that point or not. He's damn good, it's a great signing.

lol the video ESPN has up about Kyle Lowry re-signing is all about the Heat and what Pat Riley is going to do now. f*** off!

 

Kyle Lowry is ours! Love it. #WeTheNorth

 

I love the credentials they show for the analyst. "Author of 2 books on LeBron James"

The Atlantic Division will be easy to make.

 

Knicks will be even worse, Boston might be slightly better but still bad, Philly likely near the bottom of the conference again. Brooklyn is the only real challenger as they might be a bit better based on how they played in the second half and Lopez being back. But everyone on the roster is a year older and won't having pop-spilling plays in their offence.
