Free Agency (S19)

C.J. McCollum signs with the Nets for $85,526,800 over 5 years.

Sign and Trade.
i am very aware that it is a lot of money for C+ defense and questionable turnovers but I am in desperate need of some volume scoring. Also snagged a handling coach to alternate on KCP and CJ handling for a few years here. They both are plenty quick. If the handles can be made even remotely decent I will be ecstatic with the duo.

A 4+ TC puts CJ at B- A C+ B- C+ which looks nice. Worth a risk!

Delonte West signs with the Clippers for $102,632,160 over 5 years.

no comment

Contract could get ugly in a few years.

[G9.]

However, I gave TP a similar deal at the same age (32) and I can understand why Henny did it. Boozer and TP are both steady players who do what you know they are going to do. I feel like the TP one make a tad bit more sense since he actually plays defense. But it is what it is. With GMs like Jason having money to throw around you gotta cover your ass.

[AiRuPtHeRe™]

I think it's time for Boozer to get a new home.

Nuggets Send:
Carlos Boozer
Amare Stoudemire

Trailblazers Send:
Kobe Bryant (CB)
2 First Round Picks
Alex Kirk


Win win for both.

[G9.]

DeMar DeRozan signs with the Lakers for $22,917,431 over 4 years.

Since Nate is running inside this one is OK. Will be interesting to see him as an inside option.

I like this.

AIR won’t trade his own picks but he will propose trades where others trade their own picks.

[G9.]

AIR did you pay your 10M fine?

[G9.]

Khris Middleton signs with the Lakers for $22,917,431 over 4 years.

Easily worst contract I’ve seen of this FA so far. He contributes… nothing.

I want him though. @Nate

[G9.]

Chris Gradnigo signs with the Bulls for $22,811,500 over 4 years.

I PLEAD THE 5th!

Nah but if I gotta pay a fine just deduct from my bank I ain't no broke boy

Well I just know that Henny will always ask for picks regardless of who it is.

I forgot to add the 10M minimum that Henny requires.

I’m just playin, no fine.

Just a warning. This time!!

Tried it. He sucks

[Eberlicious]

FA thread kind of lit

[G9.]

Arron Afflalo signs with the Grizzlies for $16,500,000 over 5 years.

Awesome contract, unfortunately.

Afflalo is a perfect mid to end of bench shooter and this contract is perfect for a mid to end of bench shooter.

[G9.]

Robin Lopez signs with the Lakers for $37,027,881 over 4 years.

Wouldn’t be bad if:

A) López still had any pot left (he probably doesn’t. Was low on draft night)

B) he didn’t have so many low fringes.

He’s one dice roll away from Ludovic Vaty territory, only without the declining contract to go with his declining career.

[G9.]

Jonny Flynn signs with the Bullets for $4,257,850 over 2 years.

Worth a shot. Playable.
Sometimes two year deals bite me in the butt even if they are small. One bad TC and he becomes unplayable and then you have to ask someone if you can dump 2.5m on them for a roster spot.

[G9.]

Danilo Gallinari signs with the Bullets for $16,710,750 over 3 years.

Didn’t have the slightest idea that he was even in the league. Doesn’t make it a bad contract but feel like there weren’t many eyes on him.

[G9.]

Eddy Curry signs with the Cavaliers for $43,860,000 over 4 years.

Rather expensive frontcourt with no clear #1 frontcourt guy. Could definitely be a worse situation, like, having no frontcourt. But would rather have a “star” and then cheaper help around him I think. Either way it’s solid enough help for Kyrie for now.

[G9.]

Justin Hamilton signs with the SuperSonics for $22,811,500 over 4 years.

Love the idea, not sure about the execution. He didn’t get DLG development for pot and didn’t really have upside at any point. His stats are cool, but they came on a barren NYK team. Will be interesting to see just how much he can contribute over the next 4 years.

[G9.]

Nene Hilario signs with the Trail Blazers for $16,710,750 over 3 years.

I’m sure Kobe Bryant is ecstatic. Lol.

[G9.]

Gilbert Arenas signs with the Lakers for $16,788,350 over 3 years.

Arenas was shining for a second there in Washington. Really doubt he is going to contribute much in an inside offense. Inside offenses still need shooters though. Maybe he'll provide a decent spark off the bench.

[G9.]

Maybe I should just put these in an article

[G9.]

Poor effort to cash efficiency doing them here

[G9.]

Probably less visibility too
