2016 Official NBA Off-Season Thread: Former Greatness

[youngthundercat]

I played for CCA out of VA beach, he was at norte dame.

Malcolm played for McDonough and Towson Catholic (Melo's old HS). Him and Donte Green were actually on the same team. And he played with Team Melo and Baltimore Select for AAU.

Good to see dude get his shot. He's been grinding overseas.

So he didn't play prep at Norte Dame or Brewster?

Nah. Went straight from Towson Catholic to VT.

You're probably thinking about Johnny Higgins. That's a wild boy

Matt Barnes to the Kings.

In a few years this contracts will all  be the norm, so it won't feel as outrageous. There's salary comparison tools out there to see what these contracts would look like based on the previous years' cap and it's far more reasonable.

If they announced they signed players for 4 years and a % of the salary cap, it wouldn't sound much different than last year. 

The biggest difference is pretty much every team has extra money to play around with, so we're just seeing so many contracts being thrown out.

Shenanigans.

shocked he left ATL. He could have got 1 more year and $23M more to stay. Does he really think someone is going to offer him $23M when he's 35?

Shoot, on second thought, maybe in these times he can

 

[everysingletime]

Just embrace the villainy, KD

Embrace the dark side

 

[big j 33]

I'm not one for predictions, but the fact that he won't just make the decision tonight and announce it does not bode well for OKC.

Royce Young says its down to the dubs and the warriors.

 

[art vandelay]

Matt Barnes to the Kings.

NOOOOOOO!!!!! Why Matt?

 

[pjdabullsfan]

Good question

View media item 2090239
But seriously though. They traded a former MVP in his contract year to give a 2 year contract to a known headcase like Rondo. The Bulls dumb b.

They were better off seeing what Rose got left. Worst case scenario, you don't resign him. Simple.

Exactly! This dumb @ss front office can do anything right.

 

[shoeking2102]

NOOOOOOO!!!!! Why Matt?

Towards the end of his career and wants to play closer to home?

 

[art vandelay]

Royce Young says its down to the dubs and the warriors.

But aren't they the same team?

is you done or is you finished?

can Barnes break the $3M per mark, even in this market. Should be able to. Played 12 years and earned $23M. Thats rough in basketball terms

I think it bodes well for OKC because right now he's under the ether and he's been sold on leaving.

After he sleeps on it, he will be like "what the hell was I about to do"

Basically, if he announces it right now, OKC would be looking for a new SF.

They should be thankful he's sleeping on it.

 

[oldhotdogwater]

Basically. Its terrible, Mozgov getting paid, Biyombo, cmon.

Straight laughable. The Warriors effect. They think they can get 1-2 players and become a surprise team like the Dubs so they throwing money around.

Stop complaining boi. Most of the deals have been good. Only bad ones is the Tyler Johnson and Hill deal

 

[everysingletime]

'Sleeping on it'

Dude made up his mind already
