The FA market this summer looks pretty average too. Here are the top names this summer:

  • Evan Fournier
  • Norman Powell
  • Kyle Lowry
  • Andre Drummond
  • Devonte Graham (RFA)
  • Lonzo Ball (RFA)
  • Jarrett Allen (RFA)
  • TIm Hardaway Jr
  • Kawhi (likely re-upping)
  • Dennis Schroder
  • DeMar DeRozan
  • Gary Trent Jr
I dunno if they'd want to spend big money on any of them. Maybe they'd sign Kyle and DeMar on short term deals


Cap space is not just reserved for free agency, they can also trade for someone if they don’t like the Free agent class.

He’s starting to look real dumb:francis:

NBA dudes starting to get beside they self
Know your worth king....but don’t be dumb.
Oladipo better have a damn good agent if he wants even half of what he turned down from the Pacers.

You are an undersized sg coming off a serious injury. Should have JUMPED on that Pacers offer.

Man other than Russ is there any ultra athletic guard who hasn't been injured?
Wall, Rose, Dipo..even Arenas..

Their fall offs after injury are just :francis: at a time when they are not easily affordable

i get that players sometimes want to "bet on themselves", but i feel like that's unnecessary in the NBA. these guys get offered max or close to max contracts like nothing, especially depending on how the market is in their free agency year...especially when teams need to meet that minimum spend level.

did he turn the Pacers down back then because he was hoping to be All-NBA and get a super max after this season, which is his 8th year and would make him eligible?

hate seeing this happen to guys, and easy to say he should've signed that deal and demand a trade later in hindsight...but damn.
