Free Agency Thread

So what would it take to get Jae Crowder from Ainge?

Hayward, Tatum, Brown, and Crowder is a pretty crowded depth chart at wing.

Hayward's agent Mark Bartelstein on whether final word is coming today: "That was the goal, but now we've got to kind of regroup here a bit"

I'd LOVE to snag Ojeleye from them.

We trust Gordon and his agent that no decision has been made. Good communication all day and a great relationship.

Get ready for a second meeting with the Jazz in his house, Gobert taking a picture of a chair and post it on twitter, Chris Broussard twitting that Danny Ainge is in his car driving around San Diego to find Hayward's home.

It's easy. They have a ton of cap room.

What amazing to me is why the Pacers haven't gone after him. He has stated that was he childhood dream to play there where he is from.

Most teams signing players have less room than we do

Not really excited about Smart. He is a terrible shooter but good defensively. I guess the defense is what interests them. Could someone like Rondo be somewhat similar and be had much cheaper (i.e. without giving up a 1st rounder)? Not that I am a huge fan of Rondo either, but would prefer not to give up a 1st for someone like Smart.

Not the Kings and TWolves. That is who he was referring to. We only have the MLE and BAE. It is pretty obvious that we are waiting on Young to make a decision. What else are we supposed to do?

Smart is younger, bigger, and has potential to develop into a decent shooter.

If Cook and Crawford look impressive in summer league then we will be okay for those positions.
We need to get Cumminghan back Badd

My ideal choice is Bledsoe but Smart aint to bad of a choice.
