2019 Official NBA Free Agent thread

No surprise that KD is going with kyrie to Brooklyn.

I think this solidifies Russell going to the lakers. Unless the Lakers pull of a miracle of getting Leonard. I really hope Leonard does not go with the lakers tho. I have so much respect for him and I’d hate to see him join a super team.

Also, with the signing on the guy from Europe. I wouldn’t get my hopes up of any surprise moves in FA. I see us grabbing a shooter and maybe a middle of the road C.

Some Kings news...
Source tells @TheAthletic that Sacramento will finalize a four-year, $85 million deal with Harrison Barnes today. The deal declines annually, accounting for just 14% of the cap in the fourth year.

Harrison Barnes continues cashing those ''being a reasonable NBA talent with the bonus of being 6'8'" cheques.

Knicks fans right now? Well you got RJ at least.LOL

The Kings are also expected to come to quick terms with Dewayne Dedmon on a three-year, $40 million deal when free agency formally opens. That deal has a partial guarantee in the third year.

Presumably, this means Sacramento is OUT of the Al Horford talks.

So Peja is overpaying Barnes and Horford. That leaves us wit Dedmon right? :Peja:

Free agent Rudy Gay plans to sign a two-year, $32M deal to return to the San Antonio Spurs, league sources tell @TheAthleticNBA @Stadium.

Rudy Gay returning to San Antonio!

rozier to hornets, rudy gay to spurs

Seriously, with DeAndre Jordan going to Brooklyn? Jarrett Allen has to be expendable. He's a starting caliber 5. Go after him!

Lol at someone paying Terry Rozier $58m

That's more than what I would have offered. I liked him at two years 20 million.

I'm amazed at Lopez talking only 13 million a year.

You mean Vlade?

Sources: The Boston Celtics are progressing towards a series of sign and trade deals to enable them to re-sign Al Horford, while also maintaining the full MLE.

— Keith Smith (@KeithSmithNBA) June 30, 2019

Note that this doesn't mean Boston WILL resign Horford. It just means they may be able to, if he's willing to return.

Both of them

Side Note: Michael Jordan remains the NBA's worst ruling figure.

Won't pay Kemba Walker his full supermax, didn't trade him despite that, but will cough up SIXTY MILLION to Terry Rozier?!

I wouldn't have given Kemba the supermax either, but also wouldn't get Rozier that much. Good grief.

How did Rudy Gay get 2yr/32m. That's some serious cash at his age.

You either pay Kemba the supermax or you trade him at the deadline. You do NOT just let him walk. If you're not going to pay him, you move him for assets.

And then after that complete blunder, letting their best player just walk away, Charlotte overpays for Terry goddamn Rozier.

Trash-heap franchise leadership.
