It's not like the Celtics are going to lose anything if he bolts if the players they trade for him will be gone as well. From what I understand, the decision was more the Pacers wanting to punish Paul by throwing him out of the East without considering the best offer than the Celtics choosing to pass on George, | ||

Lowry just announced he is in TO next year. No terms revealed. EDIT: LOL , josh lewenberg screwing with people. no news on Lowry. i guess Lowry is getting squeezed. anyhow, PJ Tucker signed with Houston... 4 years , 32 million. https://www.sbnation.com/nba/2017/7/2/15910060/p-j-tucker-rockets-agree-to-four-year-32-million-deal-per-report Warriors sign Iguodala for 3 years @ 48 Million http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/19786285/andre-iguodala-returning-golden-state-warriors-3-year-48-million-deal i think this puts the Warriors right up to the Cap and they still have not re-signed Durant. Its all been fun and games for the Warriors the last few years, but this year it looks like the Warriors will have a massive Luxury Tax bill to pay. | ||

I like Amir, he is a smart player, if limited offensively, he knows how to keep his mouth shut. Amir and Colangelo have history from his years Toronto.. so Colangelo prolly knows a lot about him. It'll be interesting to see what kind of role he gets in Philly. We sure miss his work on the pick'n'roll here in Toronto. He's got a soft touch in the mid-short range, a pretty reliable score within 12 feet of the basket. You just worry about the guy because his ankles are being held together with sticky-tack and crossed fingers. | ||

Awesome to see Iggy re-sign, pencil in another championship for GSW. Don't worry about that cap though, Durant is good guy, he'll take league minimum if it means more championships. (jk, but he wants those W's and will take a hit to get 'em) What happens when Klay and Draymond hit the market? Talk about a scary Luxury Tax bill... | ||

And now Lowry with 3yr/100 million ...wau! The Raps are overpaying for relatively short 3 year deals for these guys. Really overpaying for Ibaka though IMO. But not sure if you were the one JimmyJ that said that Raps ownership didn't wanna overpay for the team or something to that effect, but they going deep in the pockets now. | ||

nice move by Ujiri to limit the Lowry deal to 3 years though. My thoughts on 32+ year old Point Guards under 6'2" are well documented. if the Raptors are to take the "next step" its in the hands of Delon Wright, Bruno Caboclo and Norman Powell. 3 guys prolly no one on this board knows anything about; i only know a little. i hope they keep Pat Patterson... i think Casey hates him for some of his social media shenanigans but the guy is extremely under rated. If Patterson gets away... any team that signs him is a getting a diamond in the rough. | ||

Putting Washington to the test on how deep they want to go into luxury tax with a non-contending team is a reasonable gamble. Some owners in that spot may balk and you get your guy. It sounds like they are going to match though. In that case all SAC has done is tied up some of their abundant cap space for a week, really no cost to them. edit: If I think about what SAC can do with their cap space when premier free agents are clearly not going anywhere near them making big offers to restricted free agents is probably the best option as those players are young and may still be around to play with the young players SAC is drafting if they ever get their shit together. The other option for that cap space is basically to use it as a dumping ground for bad contracts like Brooklyn did with Mozgov. I think I'd rather get young talents like KCP or Otto Porter even on a slight overpay than the draft picks + horrible multi year contracts. | ||
