2019 Official NBA Free Agent thread

What the Nets don’t have the room to sign KD, Kyrie, & Jordan, so either KD & Kyrie took less money or the Nets may have a deal in place?!?!

Maybe Jarrett Allen to a team?? If so I hope we that team. Doubt they move LeVert or Dinwiddie.

Did Dedmond sign? Been away from the computer...

But Gibson's deal is just two years vs FOUR (I'm guessing 3 + 1) for Jordan.

Oh yeah that for sure is a difference but DeAndre is 3 years younger than Taj and I have to believe a better player.

That doesnt say anything. It's random speculation from some random dude.

Kawhi did not pop his achilles. Who knows if they had any meetings set up with Kemba or Kyrie, much less try to get them at some discount. Again, neither of them popped their achilles to be out all next year.

Lots of high school media antics going on but the Knicks were prudent with Durant. Cant fault them for that period.

Okay. Whatever if you want to be a Dolan apologist. Your problem not mine. By the way he is not a random guy. Anyway from another random guy.

This is so beautiful https://t.co/1hnpRyz9Wz

Well technically no one can sign anything until the 6th but he did agree to a deal. I think it was 3yr 43m or something like that. Someone posted it higher up with the exact numbers.

That not apologizing for anything. It's facts. There is no telling how Durant will look 2 YEARS from now. He will probably need another year just to get his legs back. The Nets are effectively paying Durant $80 million to rehab. Plus I'm not a Kyrie fan since he's not a great leader at point guard and may start pouting again if things dont go right.

The Knicks just need to weather the great loud mouth firestorm for now.

I find this take extremely logical and probably a very solid approach to building a team. However, my issue is more that the Knicks promised the moon, Traded Porzingis, and ended up missing on everyone in free agency.

Even if it was the practical approach it was sure to make fans absolutely livid. Especially after years and years of gross incompetence.

[DaPelFromHell]

If we could get Bobby Portis on a reasonable 2 to 3 year deal, I would try to move Etwaun Moore. Then sign Elfrid Payton for what Moore was getting, but add a year or 2.

C: Okafor, Hayes, Wood
PF: Zion, Portis, Melli
SF: Ingram, Hart, Kenrich
SG: Jrue, Redick, NAW
PG: Ball, Payton, Jackson

That would be an absolutely beast of team IMO. That second unit of Payton, Redick, Hart, Portis, & Hayes(or Wood till he’s ready) would be one of the best in the league IMO.

If I were him, it'd take a lot for me to want to leave Toronto.

You would pass on Durant. Okay thanks for that.

If Kawhi wanted to be a Laker. He would probably have signed sooner than Later. They need to find a bench and role players.

Another way to explain it look at the assets we have now since trading Davis. The Knicks got Julius Randle
