The Spurs are the only team in the league that would not only tolerate Gay's midrange jumpers, but encourage them.

Also the Raptors. Remember the Gay era? Feels like a loving fever dream but I bet you if he got put back on the team he'd do the exact same poo poo all over again and Casey would nod approvingly, just like four years ago.

Olynyk deal is good and he's better than James Johnson. I don't like the guy at all either but it's a good contract for his production.

Exactly. Heat don't have picks either so giving 4 year contracts to these guys isn't going to lock them out of competing when GSW finally ends.

Atlanta's kind of in a weird position, because that's the kind of screwball gently caress-off RFA offer they might toss at a guy this offseason, but it's their own player

They don't have anything better to do with their money but he's really unlikely to be a noteworthy asset at that price. They should let him go but I can see them thinking "gently caress it, why not" and matching

Why are the Celts wanting to get rid of one of those 3 guys again? Even if they go over the luxury isn't it actually a pretty small amount considering each of those guys is making around 7-8 mil?

It'd be basically a repeat of the Bazemore thing wouldn't it, I'd think they might be wary
