2016-2017 NBA Free Agency/Offseason Thread

I will say this for Portland tho;

I'd rather have Turner on that contract than parsons

What the hell. Evan Turner is not conducive to winning at all. Jack of all trades in a specialised league.

jack of all trades are valued perhaps more than ever in today's NBA...

Its not even just that salaries are inflated, it's worse this year because the salary floor is increasing dramatically. The guys already under contract are now "underpaid" and the money they should be getting under normal inflation has to be handed out to free agents signed this year.

Real talk, it's really unfair players signed to long term deals prior to the cap increase should be allowed to restructure their deals...

Even draft busts are getting paid.

Lmao @ using other shyt contracts to make you feel better about your teams shyt contract

But if pretty much every NBA contract is a "shiit contract" nowadays.. Then the average is really not a shiit contract afterall. You have to compare and contrast to the mean .. In 1980, top tier players would be lucky to get half a mill. NBA money from tv contracts etc. is simply growing and your average NBA fan is not yet used to it.

What I suggested could work though, just saying... Instant top 3 team...

That's plan a

Dream scenario is horford tonight, we bring him and Isaiah to the hamptons to holla at Durant and sign him too

We will probably end up with Zaza pachulia and kris humphries tho

 

[ALonelyDad]

They should have just re-signed Crabbe

 

[Bilz]

lol exactly .. Harrison Barnes bout to make double what steph curry making. These cats gota fire their agents on gp.

They'll get theirs eventually and the economy will normalize. But locking into long term contracts protects against market fluctuation. They could have done year to year deals to prepare for this like LeBron did but if they get hurt, they're fukked.

 

[Here Comes the Pain]

Chandler Parsons making more money than Paul George.

Absolutely ridiculous

 

[str8up]

Bucks not playing around

 

[NoMorePie]

Bucks not playing around

Good for Delly

 

[Kang Deezy]

4 years 38 million for Delly to the bucks is a great fit

It's up there with ish and Jefferson as my favorite signings

So...Even though Melo KNEW about the Cap increase impending...

He signed a long term deal with NY at less than the max...

And yet after all of these crazy contracts... is the narrative STILL going to be Melo was all about the money?

 

[DarrynCobretti]

Official themesong of this NBA offseason:


Get paid, young nikka, get paid
Whatever you do, just make sure you get paid

Compared to these filthy rich billionaire owners, I ain't even mad at the players seeing a fraction of what they're actually worth to the NBA.

 

[The War Report]

Russell Crowe too.

Yea but they're still losing money .. Every year they not gettin max money that's a year of money they never gettin back. It's the agents fault, and ultimately, their fault for hiring the wrong agent
