I don't get it because you would hope Ellenson would take away Jon's playing time.

He played a lot of stretch 5 in Phoenix, that could be what they're banking on. Ellenson isn't a proven shooter. I can't really justify anything Van Gundo does, I just hope the moves work out so I have some decent basketball to watch

In my opinion, JJ Barea has the coolest name in the NBA. Dragan Bender obviously is up there as well. "Dwight Howard" is probably the dorkiest name

Raptors still need to plug the stretch PF hole. We need a backup or timeshare for Patterson unless we wanna repeat the Scola experiment(please no) Let's see who is left.


RFA's that we could try to steal but will likely get paid+matched:
moe harkless
meyers leonard
Donatas Motiejunas
jared 'fatty' sullinger

lower tier free agents
marvin williams
Andrew Nicholson
Terrence Jones


guys who suck but might be cheap and fill a need
derrick williams
ryan kelly
kris humphries
anthony tolliver

E: STRIKING OUT FAST ON THIS PAGE ALONE RAPTORS MOVE QUICKLY PLZ.

Terrence Jones is my favourite on the list, but Nicholson might take a slightly under market contract because he's Canadian.

I'd stick with it until a good deal arrives, enough minutes to go around if you play AG at the 3 a bit which might backfire but it's pretty much his best defensive position, offense TBD.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
I like Deng. Seems like a guy that will be OK playing behind Ingram, but can step up and play his position if it turns out Ingram can't go right away. Also the fact that he can play the 4 is great. By all accounts he's a very solid locker guy.

I wish the per-year deal was cheaper but also think if you're going to get a quality vet to join what I'd project to be 60+ loss team even with this signing, it probably is going to cost more. The way the Lakers are going to get better is for their rookies to develop and I like both their moves in that context.

Lakers still have around 20 mil in cap space, still around 9 below the floor, with 9 on their roster (they can get to the roster minimum though by signing their second round pick and the guys they have QOs extended to).

Now that LBJ has the ring in CLE it looks like he made the right decision to leave MIA. I wonder if he knew about Bosh's blood clots.


The Bulls' eternal pursuit of Dwyane Wade continues for another sad year
http://www.blogabull.com/2016/7/1/12086552/chicago-bulls-dwyane-wade-free-agency-miami-heat

https://www.yahoo.com/news/clyde-drexler-quote-during-92-170015316.html

'“We had out moments against the Bulls. Midway through the fourth quarter of a tight game four in Portland, Clyde tapped the ball away from Jordan and converted it into a dunk, setting off a surge that evened the series at two games apiece. Nearly giddy, I went into the locker room afterward and found Clyde slumped in front of his locker, completely exhausted, an ice bag on every joint. And I said, “Clyde, that was a brilliant steal. You read Jordan perfectly.”

He looked up at me, shook his head, and said, “Stop, stop, you don’t understand. Most guys have two or three go-to moves; Jordan has nine. I guessed right, that’s all. I got lucky. Sometimes you get the bear, but usually the bear gets you.” Clyde knew the score. The Bulls, on the cusp of a dynasty, beat us in six games.”'

Skolnick saying Wade was offered $10 million. That's hilarious when you consider how much Mozgov and other fringe players are getting.

Wade is an old man who's about to turn to dust. He's not too far from the age when Duncan/Nowitzki took their big pay cuts. He hasn't had a great season in a long time either.
