it feels like the nature of maxes that every single average to slightly above average young player is gonna ask for and probably get a max from the team that drafted him. a strange world where otto porter deserves as much money as you can possibly give him

it is kind of depressing that the biggest free agent drama involves gordon loving hayward, some team needs to go lock a free agent up in a mansion or something

Speaking of Green, this seems like a weird decision from Memphis

They let Randolph walk, they're either blowing it up or clearing cap room for a big name FA next offseason (lmao)

Blowing up seems weird since they owe an unprotected pick in 2019, but then again the Kings signed players in their one year of having their pick so who knows

Hayward should just sign for the BAE with the Rockets IMO

Actually Hayward should sign with the Pacers. That way there will be no distractions like "night life" or "fun" so he can play LoL all night long!

I wouldn't be surprised if Hayward signing in Boston instead of Miami is the difference between James Johnson signing with the Heat or taking the MLE to a contender.

They ended up reducing it to two, if I recall. But yeah they made an example. In that case though the Timberwolves literally put the agreement in writing so they were pretty stupid.

Ha, yeah putting it in writing is impressive.

It's worth mentioning that the league only found out because Joe Smith changed agents, and his old spurned agent ratted him out to the league. It's completely possible that it continues in a more clandestine way. We have no way of knowing

Yeah I was wondering how they got found out. Seems easy enough to communicate such promises while maintaining plausible deniability.

Is Hayward more of a carry or support type dota player.

When he made a video with a League pro he was playing Wukong, who's a carry. IIRC Hayward is a top lane player

What do my nuggets men think of the Millsap signing

Great signing, especially with that 3rd year team option. Millsap is kinda old but he's a better pairing with Jokic than Love would have been, and we didn't have to trade anybody for him. Huge defensive upgrade. Letting Gallinari walk is kind of a bummer, he's been on the team since I started watching basketball in 2012, but his knees are a timebomb. Chandler was complaining about not having a consistent role and now he's probably got starting SF locked up. Connelly needs to make one more move to get rid of some of those redundant forwards. I was really hoping for Hill but Vlade screwed that up. Trade with the Suns for Bledsoe, maybe? They balked at Mudiay and the 13th pick so it would probably have to be a big package. Current roster looks like a low playoff seed to me unless Murray has a big leap or Mudiay suddenly becomes unterrible.
