The most important part of the Gordon Hayward free agency frenzy is that I learned he has a website with a ".life" domain. C'mon Gordo

Thanks to you both for the feedback. While I'd guess that some implicit arrangements fly under the radar, it sounds like the league does what it can to minimize them. Five first round picks is seriously dropping the hammer.

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

A raccoon is not finished when he is defeated. He is finished when he quits.
I'm surprised he is moving to the east coast, it would make it harder for him to play league of legends with his west coast friends

I guess this takes the Kings out of the running for Otto Porter, what does this do to that offer? Does he even have anything for Washington to match now?

Nets are still in the running, same as every RFA ever.

What is the Celtics starting 5 now? IT/Bradley/Crowder/Hayward/Horford? (I haven't watched Gordon enough to know how well he can play the 4 but it's the modern NBA so I assume he might be able to)

It's gonna be easier to move Crowder and Crowder has made it clear that he's very against the idea of falling behind Hayward in the rotation, for team chemistry reasons I think he'll be gone

Why do some players sign European contract weeks before entering the NBA draft? I don't get it. Wouldn't you hold off and see if you get drafted? Can you not be a draft-and-stash if you don't already have a foreign contract?
