.

i was honestly puzzled as to why ATL would pass on Sims last night. this explains it. 

edit: annnnd now i'm puzzled again. not sure why ATL doesn't want a backup for Capela who plays similarly to him.

As SB said, LA is built for championships. Second place is for the first loser. Bringing in a champion winner like Melo echos that

wonder where lonzo will end up?  if i was a team with some cap space, i'd take a shot on him.

i've decided that team should be the knicks.

first off, wow does that concert sound terrible. Usher is awesome, but that shit was terrible. second, who are the two trolls that are following right behind LeBron, like they were with him? would be hilarious if they were his side pieces.

Take it with the size grain of salt that is needed...... To me the most interesting part is that Dame isn't keen on getting traded which means, maybe he allows Portland to shuffle the deck and is not dead set on getting out.

Too bad for everyone involved that the Knicks have nothing that would interest Portland.

bold move to not take the $36m while injured.  We will see if it works out for Uncle Dennis.

Bold move my ass. The Clippers are going to give him every penny they possibly can. And if they don't, someone else will. The bigger question is how long of a contract he signs. IIRC, he can sign a four year deal for 35% of the cap or a one year deal that would make him eligible for the super max next year. If I know uncle Dennis, they have already made a deal under the table for the super max and that goldbrick motherfucker won't play a minute this season.

Holy fuck Chris Paul is insane. Why would he decline a 44 million dollar player option?

Cause he will get 90M+ guaranteed.

I don’t like Russ with the Lakers.  Could they have gotten a derozan/ while combo?

They could still get Derozen in a S&T for Schroeder

He's often inured, 30 years old, and wanting a four year deal.  Clips going to bite on that?

Without question they will.   Full max the second they can offer it.    Its not like they would have enough to sign anyone of note and what big time guy is going to the Clippers now?   Especially if Kawhi was leaving.

Something like 3 years at $36M? I was thinking if he really cares about winning, he should tell the front office a total contract value of guaranteed money and let them stretch that over however many years they want. Four years at $20M? Cool, now next season they have cap space to get more help. Two years at $40M? Cool, they run it back but get him off the books quicker and may have one year to use him as trade bait if they don't get it done.

He is not taking a total smaller than the 44M he just opted out of you can believe that.    Nor should he.    That wouldn't show that "he cares about winning"    It would show he's dumb.     He's an asshole and many other things.    I've never thought of him to be dumb.

An annual salary of 30M would still give PHX 14M that wouldn't have to sign someone else anyway.

You think he signs a deal with a 3rd year opt out clause. He seems to like to have that freedom.

I really have no idea what OKC is doing. Though a Dinwiddie and Alexander backcourt could be interesting.

12 guard lineup.

If they do this, I assume they have a Kemba trade lined up.

Doubtful.  It would have to be a 3 team trade because the Spurs don't need another guard.

Good for Steph.  50+ million dollar man.

Formalizing ATL's relevance for the next 3-4 years.

Ummm, I didn't suggest a total lower than that. I suggested total contract values around $80M.
