More Free Agent Talk

What about Oubre for Sato.

I always liked him and what is happening with Dragic in Toronto? Does he want to get moved? I don’t think any team has the $$$ to give Oubre what he wants.

Also, where the hell is Schroeder going to end up and for what?

Lakers fans keep insisting that the Lakers are going to S&T him. When I ask where they are going to find a taker they just seem to think the rest of the NBA will be interested in helping the Lakers. They seem confused that Caruso left for another team.

Bulls are going to be a playoff team. Too much talent not to make it in the East.

[Scoots1994]

What tea leaves are people reading that make them think the Dubs aren’t going to use some/all of the TP MLE?

There are still FA players out there.

What name are you thinking applies for the TPMLE?

Not using it gives them some flexibility on later roster building much like only carrying 14 players gives them some options. Also vet min deals get a tax discount but MLE deals don't.

The Warriors have said they are willing to spend big money when it's worth it ... there may not be any players worth it anymore.

Did someone say they wouldn't make the playoffs?

[KevinMcreynolds]

don't understand the love for Dunn, couldn't even stay in the rotation during the playoffs

Yeah, people crapped on the Warriors for “letting him get away “ but he peaked two years ago.

I still prefer Hill if I haven’t missed him signing

He's a handler who can shoot and has a huge wingspan for a PG. You take him over Hill if you can lock him up for multiple years, if he insists on a 1 year deal, may as well go with Hill

I'd take him over Hill too but that ain't sayin much. I'd take Coxy over Hill.

Just running out of free agents that would make any sense to use it on (and Lacob won't want to use it for a flier being that it's effectively a 20M dollar 1 year contract given the tax). Kendrick Nunn would be the last guy available I can see making any sense, but I doubt he's taking an MLE.

[Scoots1994]

Maybe Warriors have a down low trade still in the works?

Glad we didn't pick up Mello. Lakers, IMO, are going to be chit next year. That combination of non-shooter stars all needing the ball is going to be a wreck.

I so hope they re-sign Schroder for the $100M he wants

Westbrook/Schroder
Bazemore/Matthews/Ellington/Monk
LeBron/Ariza
AD/Anthony/Morris/THT/Jackson
Gasol/Howard

(assuming they cut McKinnie and re-sign Schroder, Matthews, THT, and Morris)

That's an odd looking and old team.

Let us count the chuckers and players who need the ball ...

Funny how Toronto fans suddenly yearn for a trade with us now

they can give us Dragic for a Oubre S&T

[510TWSS]

Not getting Mills was a bummer.

I HAVE to believe Warriors had the inside angle on landing him. Are they looking at Dragic or a different player????

disappointed as well but i figure the Lakers were right there too. We were gunning hard for Patty tho i feel

[510TWSS]

wonder where Millsapp is gonna go

I like Hill but it doesn’t sound like many here do.

[Hoopstar23]

Nunn to the Lakers......... damn it

[bballguy50]

Considering the options remaining, I'd be decently happy with George Hill even if on MLE. (Would obviously be better if on a vet min.) He's getting up there, but still savvy enough to hold his own on both sides of the ball.

Reggie Jackson is an interesting thought if he doesn't go back to LAC, haven't seen much news on him.

[lars_rosenberg]

Nunn to the Lakers......... damn it

The Lakers are loaded. We can only hope they break down because they are almost all very old.

And even funnier some people there think Siakam was worth "much more" than the package Philly wanted for Simmons and we said no to.

[nismolos]

really f***** annoying that our biggest targets (Mills, Batum) went to the teams that were already considered favorites over us. (well with a healthy leonard i guess).

If the Lakers get Iggy im gonna lose it

We gotta land someone with the MLE

[superunknown]

wonder where Millsapp is gonna go

at the current rate? easy, either nets or lakers.

[whatisacenter]

Nunn and THT signed with the Lakers

[GoDubs]

At this rate, the rest of the FA should just wait outside at Staple Center
