    Good stuff.
    What's actually happening?!?!? We didn't make any moves outside of Jrue.

    Not with us. Just in general. It's been a pretty slow FA. Probably due to all the action that took place before FA "officially" began.

    "I'm not going to allow my putative owner to answer that question, this is an NBA related press conference. Paul Tagliabue and Roger Goodell have collectively sung their praises of Tom and if uh ESPN has a problem with that tell Mr. Skipper to call me at my office."

    We are rumored to have contacted Collison.

    Off the top of my head you still have some names people have mentioned like CJ Miles, Milos Teodosic, Rondo, Rudy Gay, Jeff Green.

    Not saying I am endorsing any or all of those, but there is still some movement left.

    EDIT:Shabazz Muhammed is another one.

    That will involve our 2018 pick or future picks.
    You don't honestly think we were going to do that with the MLE?

    Just when you think the West can't get any tougher.....Milsap should thrive with Jokic.

    Wonder how this weighs on them bringing back Gallo? Read they certainly would love to keep Gallo AND add Milsap. They have done one, next batter up i guess.

    Damn Ben McElmore agrees to a 2 year 10.7 million dollar deal with the Grizzlies! Well there goes one of my hopeful targets...

    Jrue's brother Justin agrees to a 2 year 9 million dollar deal with the Bulls

    30 mil a year for Milsap. Geez.

  12. #612
    Jrue at $25 looks better when aging guys like Lowry and Milsap go at $33 and $30. The final years of those contracts could get scary.

    That is not a quick decision to make.
    I would sure as hell take $8 million a year with 6% state income tax over $5 million a year with 13% state income tax. That decision would take me about 10 seconds. Nick Young is exactly what we need at a reasonable price. It would be tremendously frustrating to lose him to GS. GS is making a mockery of the NBA.

    They have to extend Harris next year too. He's a RFA next summer and will get paid handsomely.

    I don't understand this move by Denver. Isn't Gallinari a better fit than Millsap?

  17. #617
    Did I read that right? Kyle Lowry signed a 3 year 100 million dollar deal? Holy!! That makes him one of the highest paid players in the league on a per year basis. DAMN

    What you gonna do Swaggy P?

    So the Warriors and Thunder are also interested in you?!?! Come on boy, come down to NOLA! You won't even see the court playing for the Warriors with KD, Thompson, Iggy, and Patrick McCaw. The Thunder may have even more competition on the wing with Paul George, Andre Roberson, Kyle Singler, Jerami Grant, Doug McDermott, Josh Huestis, and Alex Abrines. Here you have Solomon Hill, Etwaun Moore, Jordan Crawford, a rookie in Frank Jackson(thats if he plays the 2 instead of 1), and a guy that can't stay healthy in Quincy Pondexter.

    So its simple for Swaggy. If he wants a chance to start and try to push for a playoff spot, he comes here. If he wants to win a ring, he goes to the Warriors. If he wants to be buried on the bench and make the playoffs, he goes to the Thunder.

    I'm hoping for Nick Young, Ty Lawson, and decent cheap power forward.

    Would zeller, dC, and shabbaz fill our needs if we can move AA and stretch Asik?

    I get the sense he has to be at least heavily considering us though or the ink would be penned by now with GS.

    Hopefully Cousins is making the pitch as we speak and he has the sort of cold, calculating mentality you would have at the end of the day.

    And honestly it would kinda make me wonder if he does take the GS offer. I get coattail riding when you are David West or a deep rehabilitation issue if you are McGee, but Young has an offer neither of them really had and plenty of time to coattail ride in the future.

    Interesting little roster the Clippers are shaping up to potentially have:

    Beverly, Lous Williams, Gallo, Griffin, Jordan.

    Not sure what i think about it? Point-Griffin has to be a given, but how it is all gonna work out? I could see some pretty extremes both ways lol.

    I could see a 5 seed team or a middle of the pack lottery team with Rivers fired and the team in complete rebuild by next Summer.

    Well you must be kinda young then. There are many ways for rich folks to mitigate their tax bill. And places with no or lower taxes make up the difference elsewhere. So its never that simple. And if you think the only factors are salary and taxes, then I'll bow out of this conversation.

    Right now all the Clips can offer Gallo is the full MLE.
