NBA Offseason thread

So... the Pelicans trade for Holliday (which I think was a solid move) and then sign a potential bust of a PG to a large offer sheet? I don't get it.

You must have a loose definition of what a bust is. Evans is far from a bust. He has probably peaked as a player and hasn't full filled the promise that he had after winning ROY, but I would like to see him in a different situation, because the Kings were just a mess.

[Kuzzy Powers]

Evans looked like he was going to develop into a legit star after his rookie season, VERY well rounded game. Hes struggled with weight issues and has probably never been happy in Sac-Town. If he can regain his old form noone will be calling this a bad signing in 2 years, if he continues to play the way he has the last couple seasons this contract will be disastrous.

I have trouble accurately judging anyone who had been playing in Sac-Town these past few years. It's the same reason I don't want people to run away from Cousins.

I really like the Evans signing he could be a great 6th man, unless they want to have him to play the 3.

He's already come out and said he won't sign anywhere that tries to play him at 3 I'm pretty sure

And a big lol at Brandon Jennings dude was running his mouth about how he's wants to sign with a big market team.

[JimLeavy59]

Sounds like the possible Bucks-Clippers deal for Bledsoe is dead , I'm happy to see the Bucks at least looking around for other options at PG instead of just throwing money at Jennings.

[JimLeavy59]

I don't like this deal.

TUESDAY, 10:02am: As talks continue between the Clippers and Mavs on a possible deal, Rivers will meet Mayo for lunch today

Spurs sign Tiago Splitter to a 4 year, $36M deal. Believe that Portland had an offer sheet ready for him in that amount.

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

The Blazers are good at poison-pilling on offer sheets...so, its good that Splitter just made a deal with the Spurs instead of going through the motions of having to match offer sheets.

[JimLeavy59]

Brandon Jennings wants 15 million a year.

The talk of matching Jennings probably ends up being a brilliant play. His market is going to shit.

Give the Mavs Bledsoe!

Also, reports are saying the Mavs meeting with Howard lasted over 3 hours. I'll take that as a good thing.
