Pears Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Did the Raptors sign DeRozan or Durant? Jesus that's a lot of money... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JV77 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 the same Mozgov that was on the bench for the entire playoffs on the Championship winning team?! WOW, couldn't believe my eyes. Just starting to get more into the NBA this year, so I'm not an expert but isn't this nonsense? Mozgov literally only came on the court in garbage time to end the game!! lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mozgov literally only came on the court in garbage time to end the game!! lol Lakers are desperate. Hard to attract free agents right now. Who would have thought just 6 years ago that the Clippers would become the more attractive team to NBA players and fans to watch than the iconic brand that is the Lakers. Shows when you are rebuilding how hard it is to attract free agents even with a city that people like. This could be an ominous sign for a team like the Canucks too. You gotta outbid other teams and overpay to really make them want to come and play for you since you are on the downswing. Look at Edmonton Lucic and Demers all wanna play there now just because of McDavid new building and management. Before Oilers had as good a chance of attracting big names as Winnipeg does. They seriously over payed Mozgov!! 3rd big man they are trying out after Dwight Howard and Roy Hibert both face planted in LA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't do it Kevin! How does he come back to OKC with just Westbrook as his support. We have seen you need 3 stars to win and then a good supporting cast. No Ibaka now means no more BIG 3 in OKC. It would be interesting if he signed with the Celtics as they would already have Isaiah Thomas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neversummer Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Jeremy Lin to NJ Brooklyns .. I think he played for about 1/2 the team in the league now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus that's a lot of money... $139 for 5 = $27.8m/yr ... that's 3 times better than Crosby or close to 3 times the highest contracts in NHL. Parents, if your kid is thinking of Bball or hockey ... keep him in basketball. Cheaper sport to send a kid through as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enes Kanter has one of the best post games in the league and had a very high PER last year. They also got Sabonis on the draft. Very high upside center.

Kurt Nirvanagut Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Um, is anybody following this lunacy that is occurring in the opening day of free agency in the NBA? Example: Mike Conley (a second-tier point guard on his best day) just signed the richest contract in the history of the NBA to remain a member of the Memphis Grizzlies. That is a five-year contract for a total of $153 million dollars. I do not care if the NBA has this absurd salary cap this is pure absurdity and a very sad day for the NBA. What a joke. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are sports for average people, like soccer and hockey and maybe tennis. Then for physical freaks it's gonna be football, baseball and basketball here in North America. So those who are playing football or baseball should turn to basketball. Those playing hockey are likely too short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's never even been named an All Star even once!!! What a joke. Fully guaranteed to able to take care of the next 4 generations of his family. Set for life. Here I thought baseball players and soccer players were the only ones with absurd contracts in the sports world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
