[8pm at msg]

I'll never blame a player for taking the money and running ever again.

Source says @aldridge_12 had very positive feelings about his meeting with the Spurs. He really liked their presentation

Rick Bonnell @rick_bonnell 3m
The @hornets have hired Bruce Kreutzer as an assistant coach with specialty in shooting. He worked with Mark Price.

Bledsoe to the Knicks?

 

[lawdog1]

Yeah, I just realized it.

Was going to say, damn, I know Dan Gilbert's pockets have to be hurting a little right now.

 

[d3si]

What is Haywood's expiring contract? $10 mill?

The Knicks and the Lakers both on the sidelines for yet another off season with Free Agency

who ever would have thought the 2 largest markets would be less then desirable places to go

To be honest, I am really curious to see how much does JR get pay after opting out. I bet it's going to be funny.

With a deal between Heat and Dragic done, negotiations with Wade extending into Wednesday afternoon.

From the article attached to his tweet:

In signing for $90 million over five years, Dragic left the Heat some financial wiggle room to possibly sweeten Wade’s deal. Dragic could have signed a max contract worth in excess of $100 million.

Lakers need Kobe to retire already. I honestly think him still being there makes LAL a less attractive destination for big FAs. Not that he's a bad guy or even a bad teammate, but there's no way to avoid being in his shadow as long as he's there.

LaMarcus Aldridge came away from his meeting with Spurs "impressed for sure," said one person who has spoken with the All-Star free agent.

 

[casper90403]

DJ straight up giving the Clippers blue balls right now

 

[jc619er]

The entire NBA basically saying we don't want to play with Kobe or Melo if we don't have to.

 

[rck3sactown]

has anyone had a bad meeting yet?

srs

True

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I am just glad Phil doesn't overpay mediocre players.

Some of contracts are ridiculous.

This is a great day for NBA fans.

If the Suns NEED to trade Eric Bledsoe to be able to sign Lamarcus Aldridge at all... and Tyson Chandler has immediately signed and is helping in the recruiting process, that'll be extremely awkward if they don't get Aldridge and Bledsoe-Tyson are like, "Hey..." at the first practice.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Marc Stein @ESPNSteinLine
Blazers GM Neil Olshey drafted Bledsoe for Clips. If Aldridge springs surprise & chooses Phoenix, Suns could offer Bledsoe in sign-and-trade

Would take back everything bad I said about the Suns if they could pull this off.

If this dude turns down the Lakers for the Suns...

Completely agree. At this point playing with Kobe is not a privilege, you are pretty much stuck dealing with the old grumpy dude who won't help you learn the game at the pace needed.

New wrinkle thanks to followers: If Suns remain "over the cap" team, acquire Chandler via SnT, then only need to trade out $9 mil to get LMA

Candace Buckner @CandaceDBuckner 1m
Update: free agent Monta Ellis landed in town shortly around 3 p.m. He’s now preparing for the meeting with Larry Bird and #Pacers.

Why would you though?

#Cavs and JR Smith agree to terms on a 3 year $35M deal with player option after two years.



Earl III getting PAID



Good for Earl III

EDIT: Never mind. Fake tweet. Gotta be careful when I read

People still fall for these fake tweets?

Bruh, just follow Woj, Aldridge, Stein, & Broussard. Those 4 announced like 99% of the NBA deals/trades.
