2019 Official NBA Free Agent thread

[Sleeper]

I was hoping we would be able to get Rudy Gay but looks like the 76ers are after him hard and i’m sure the Spurs want to re-sign him too.

i was going to ask do we want to bring miller back...he can shoot the 3 and can space the floor keeping his guy from help defense....

Miller probably follows AD to LA

Nets getting Irving, Lakers interested in Russell? Is Leonard out in Laker Land?

I’m hoping we don’t break the bank with Horford. I can’t justify in my brain why we would inject that old of a player for that much money for that long with the team we have.

I like Horford but I don’t like the contract and duration he will want.

I’d rather us go with a younger option

I hope he goes to the Knicks. KAWHI back to Toronto. KD to... Clips or Knicks. Butler sign and trade Houston.

Am I missing anyone else that hasn't been confrimed?

Let this sink in

If Horford signs, I already know all the bad narratives they will say. And I dont have the energy to squash them all. But the one you guys MUST fight is that Griffin is making same mistake Dell did

Griffin will have a win now roster PLUS a ton of picks, including all his own

I kind of prepared for a hopeful 4/90 million. 22.5 per year
. We will still have a max slot next year if I'm correct. I feel like there is no way he is coming on any 3 year or 3+1 deal.. If he did... He probably resigned with the Celtics.

Remember... The reason that they ghosted the Celtics was because Horford agent could find a better deal. I think he about to pull Rich Paul and lose his player money. They should of taken the 30 million player option and feast in next year weak FA class with a 10 million cap bump.

I don't think Horford has that many suitors wanting to pay 100+ that are worth a damn. I think we could nab him for 4-90/95 deal.

[13 - 3]

Dont assume Horford would eat up all the space if signed. I have said forever that I am thinking as if the Pels have 40 mil in space going into this summer, because i assume Moore is gone one way or another.

I dont think a Horford/Danny Green combo is impossible

Miller probably follows AD to LA

Thinking that is a cheap option for LA and the thought of a ring entices him or is there a personal connection between Miller and AD? I can't remember if there was one or not.

Nikola setting the market at 4 yr 90 million would be the best thing ever.

They played together at KEN, were both drafted by us same yr, after 2 yrs he went overseas for 2 yrs, then came back here. They are close.

Feels good to have a competent front office that does not settle for bad deals.

They were teammates at UK

I agree. Give me Dedmond at 2 years at 10 million per season.

Sounds like we got outbidded

I can confirm @TheSteinLine's report that the Pelicans won't be in the Al Horford sweepstakes after all. The bidding went a little beyond what they were willing to do.

Wouldn't surprise me if it was the Mavs.

Go with what Sham says if Grif. Is talking to him.

Dedmond lining up a deal with Kings

[13 - 3]

As I mentioned in the article, the 4th year could very well be a sticking point that leads to both sides moving in different directions.

I'm a huge fan of no 4 year deals, have been very vocal about that on the pod. https://t.co/Dsbt5DDwK9

League source confirms, Kings have interest in free agent center Dewayne Dedmon.

Mentioned Dedmon-to-Kings possibility in my free agency preview last night. Makes more sense for Kings than longer, more expensive commitment to someone like Vucevic or Horford. https://t.co/JaKhCt4SRc https://t.co/gvXACoRxLU

Not being in on 4 year deals means we’re not going to be in on a lot of guys who will be interested in 3+1 deals with player option. The Horford thing is really interesting. Stein has gone back and forth, but seems to be on the Horford beat more than any other national reporter.

Side note: why do all the local guys always quickly confirm the National reports from Stein/Woj/Shams? I mean, why aren’t they breaking this info if they have it to be able to confirm 1 minute later?

My best guess on Horford, is we were among several teams his agent was negotiating with and it’s possible none ever got to the 4 year $112m number.

Or it’s Atlanta.
