Cool Buff Man posted:Danny has some of his Boston media goons reporting that they're waiting on hearing back from Pritchard but the current demand for PG is too unreasonable, which means the trade is still in the works and Danny's trying to drive down the price. All is right and normal in the world Did they say what the demand was?

Sam Presti looks like what I believe Macklemore will look like in 20 years.

Hashtag Banterzone posted:Why did everyone think they had to move Anderson? Nonguaranteed contracts are pretty easy to find. We didn't know Chris Paul would be an opt in, we thought they would have to clear more room to sign him as a free agent. From what I remember Sacramento offered Anderson a similar deal last summer to what he got from the Rockets, so it's not like his contact is wildly over the market.

Is free agency going to be weirdly disappointing? Realistically there isn't THAT much cap room distributed across the entire league. Either that or it's going to be really crazy with a ton of trades.

Either that or it's going to be really crazy with a ton of trades. Well there are a few big name players: PG, Hayward, Griffin, Lowry. Those are the ones that I can think of off the top of my head. So there is bound to be some poo poo go down.

Spacebump posted:A fan tried and got banned from MSG. Some dude with a beer in his hand yelled "SELL THE TEAM DOLAN" at Dolan's limo, so Dolan, just like a normal human being, came over and screamed at him, told him he reeked of alcohol, had him banned from MSG and later prevented him from renewing his season tickets http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/basketball/knicks/fan-dolan-yelled-prevented-renewing-season-tickets-article-1.3045013 In 2015 a 72 year old man found his email and wrote him: https://deadspin.com/dolan-start-rooting-for-the-nets-because-the-knicks-d-1684489469 quote:Subject: I have been a knicks fan since 1952 quote:Mr Bierman And can't forget back in February he accused Knicks Fuckin' Legend Charles Oakley of being an alcoholic: https://nypost.com/2017/02/10/msg-bans-charles-oakley-for-life/ quote:“I’m sure he has problems,” Dolan, a recovering addict himself, told The Post. “I didn’t have the problem he has, but when you’re fighting addiction, it’s not that much different from anger management or other diseases where you can’t control yourself. The first step is to turn that around for yourself is admitting you have a problem. And then from there you can begin to take the steps to take control back in your life.” quote:"He has a problem with anger. He's both physically and verbally abusive," Dolan said Friday during an interview on The Michael Kay Show on ESPN New York 98.7 FM. "He may have a problem with alcohol. We don't know. But those behaviors of being physically and verbally abusive, those are personality problems." He thinks this because Oakley has been heavily involved doing charity work trying to help recovering alcoholics (because he was teammates with Jayson Williams) https://nypost.com/2017/02/11/oakley-does-dolan-think-im-an-alcoholic-because-i-help-alcoholics/ what other owner does that poo poo EvanTH fucked around with this message at 19:17 on Jun 29, 2017 |

All the A- and B-tier FAs soak up the leftover cap space immediately and dudes that would have snagged huge contracts an offseason ago are taking half of the MLE for one year. Zero clue how accurate that'll be but it just doesn't seem like teams have that much room

All the A- and B-tier FAs soak up the leftover cap space immediately and dudes that would have snagged huge contracts an offseason ago are taking half of the MLE for one year. They basically tend to try smart deals, but mostly get the big free agent stuff contracts right. Obviously they don't expect the really stupid stuff like Mosgov, Noah, Evan turner, etc. that basically throws out available cap for no reason. It really puts into perspective that not many teams actually need free agent point guards and MY GOD if you're a center in free agency, get whatever 8 figure deal you can, even if it's the Kings.

Also, the mock-off offseason is a good preview for Piston and Blazers fans because you ain't doing poo poo in the offseason unless you dump assets for your bad contracts.

Windhorst keeps suggesting that the Suns are going after Millsap but I don't think he has any sources within the organization. It doesn't really line up with anything Sarver or McDonough have said. I hope he's wrong but it seems like the kind of dumbass shortsighted move that's been missing for a couple years.

If the T-Wolves want to compete, Milsap to the T-wolves makes the most sense.

That link on Duncan itself linked to a longer post. I liked this quote from him:Tim Duncan posted:"Judge, please do not send a message to guys like Banks that nothing really bad happens to you if it is the first time you get caught. You and I both know that if some underprivileged kid from a rough neighborhood stole a lot less, they would be going to jail for many years. I know Banks has a lot of other peoples' money that he thinks he can use to lawyer his way to a slap on the wrist. I just want to ensure … to make it clear to anyone looking to take advantage of trusting athletes that this is not acceptable and will not be tolerated."
