So the Warriors are looking for another cheap big man to be Pachulia's backup. With Thompson at SG and Durant at SF/PF, the Warriors should be a decent rebounding team. Rebounding is just as much timing and anticipation as banging down low. Rodman was not very physical and not the tallest. Rondo and Kidd are not that tall either. Tristan Thompson is not a banger and does it more based on speed and athleticism. | ||

FA this year is so stale with the ridiculous salary cap raise due to CBA, besides that whole Durant shitstorm with the Dubs, nothing else of interest. | ||

What are the possibilities of Klay, Curry and KD all choking in the same game? And besides there are no decent centers left in FA anymore. I pray the outcome of the next Finals is the same for the Dubs, oh the heartbreak. | ||

Hornets picking up Hibbert, is that dude still relevant?

Miami was gutted. apparently, Duncan was set to announce his retirement but the events in Texas made him hold off on his announcement until its a much lighter news day with less important news at the front of people's minds. He may be replaced as a player it'll be tough to replace his class. | ||

This was one of the most eventful FA seasons ever. Wade, Horford, Howard, Johnson, Noah, Gasol, Jefferson, Lin, Anderson all switch teams, plus a bunch of young kids getting paid, and Mozgov somehow getting 4/64. I'm not sure what you were expecting, but this is one of the most eventful years ever. | ||

Both sides had soured on each other and neither wanted to go down with the ship. From a PR perspective, it looks worse for Riley but both camps were apparently being fairly petty. Riley didn't call Wade because Wade told them to go through his representation. Either way, he'll still get a statue when he retires. For now, he gets more money and the Heat get to retool while they've still got a draft pick, instead of clinging to a mid-low playoff spot. | ||

Yeah, but that's just the nature of having a maxed star who might not be able to play basketball anymore. They'll get a lottery pick for the very coveted 2017 draft and have a lot of room to sign one of the 2017 FAs like Blake Griffin. Plus all the other benefits of being in Miami. | ||

Idk man, seems Riley was more petty, Wade deserved a max especially if the team's gonna suck, and the rumors made it seem like that Wade wasn't given what he was promised. | ||

Plus all the other benefits of being in Miami. $25 million is still $25 million. the uncertainty around Bosh did nothing to attract 3 starters to re-sign this year. the best thing that can happen to Miami at this point is if a doctor says Bosh can't play again. then they get his salary off the cap and they can sign a 4 or 5 who knows for sure Bosh will take zero minutes. | ||

The Lakers killing themselves for Kobe didn't help them attract FAs - they couldn't even get meetings. Loyalty is only something fans care about. Players have short memories and there's 18,000 other considerations that come before it. | ||

They are lucky he stopped them from signing this Mozgov deal last year by eating up cap space. Look how dumb they got once they got any. | ||
