i'm actually pretty excited about dwight. he seemed to want a better situation and the hawks are def a better org than houston or la.
― Heez, Saturday, 2 July 2016 01:41 (seven years ago) link
think id rather have horford
― lag∞n, Saturday, 2 July 2016 01:43 (seven years ago) link
yeah not even close

really struggling to figure out what portland cld possibly be thinking w this turner deal
― lag∞n, Saturday, 2 July 2016 01:46 (seven years ago) link
he does a reasonable impression of a backup pg for one season and now hes making ~$20m a year
― lag∞n, Saturday, 2 July 2016 01:48 (seven years ago) link
Sad to lose horford but also sick of getting manhandled by dudes like Tristan Thompson. I'm not sure if I'd rather have sap and horf or sap and Dwight

srsly, the deals this year are just the most twisted combo of crazy cap inflation and not that many quality players out on the market. im still trying to remember that the cap is ~30% higher than in years' past, but even factoring that in, some of these deals are just fucking bad. especially some of these 10mil+ deals for backups who will never be more than backups.

i've been trying to figure out what olshey (who i generally think is a really underappreciated and canny GM) was even thinking with the turner thing and i can't figure it out at all. i guess when chandler spurned them he panicked? had to spend the money somewhere. but you'd think you could get turner at like 4/50 even in this climate idk.
― Clay, Saturday, 2 July 2016 02:28 (seven years ago) link
hearing baze and hawks agreed to 4/70
― Heez, Saturday, 2 July 2016 02:58 (seven years ago) link
David Aldridge (@daldridgetnt)7 mins ago - View on TwitterKent Bazemore takes four years, $70M, turning down four/$72M from Houston and the Lakers, to go back to the Hawks, per source.

wow congrats to the NBAs greatest hypeman

i said this on twitter, but ballboys are gonna be getting $500k this year
― 6 god none the richer (m bison), Saturday, 2 July 2016 03:11 (seven years ago) link
surprised he turned down the rockets
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 2 July 2016 03:13 (seven years ago) link
the hawks line up is
schroeder-baze-korver-millsap-dwight?
im intrigued. do they get splitter back?
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 2 July 2016 03:15 (seven years ago) link
korver is cooked
― moistest hoist (Spottie), Saturday, 2 July 2016 03:15 (seven years ago) link
yeah xp
― Heez, Saturday, 2 July 2016 03:16 (seven years ago) link
i'm thinking korver will be coming off the bench by the end of next yr
― Heez, Saturday, 2 July 2016 03:22 (seven years ago) link
see what hardaway has in him?
― moistest hoist (Spottie), Saturday, 2 July 2016 03:23 (seven years ago) link
yeah or the rook
― Heez, Saturday, 2 July 2016 03:24 (seven years ago) link
oh yeah bembry is cool, i liked him in college. not a good shooter tho
― moistest hoist (Spottie), Saturday, 2 July 2016 03:29 (seven years ago) link
Chris BroussardVerified account @Chris_BroussardKevin Durant & the Clippers met for 4 hrs Friday night & sources close to the situation say KD was "blown away" by the Clips' presentation
We haven't covered this but
CP-JJ-KD-BG-DJ
is every bit as scary as what the dubs would be putting together with him. wouldn't be able to pay for a single role player tho
or maybe we did cover it idk
― moistest hoist (Spottie), Saturday, 2 July 2016 03:30 (seven years ago) link
wow the pelicans apparently declined a $2.3 million option on solomon hill at the beginning of the year and now signed him in FA for 4/48
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 2 July 2016 03:30 (seven years ago) link
Let me throw a name out there:
Michael Beasley
― Matt Armstrong, Saturday, 2 July 2016 03:31 (seven years ago) link
max player imo
― lag∞n, Saturday, 2 July 2016 03:35 (seven years ago) link
i don't think the clips can keep jj and sign kd
― call all destroyer, Saturday, 2 July 2016 03:35 (seven years ago) link
clippers def would be a team to beat with kd at the 3. theyve been looking for someone to fill that void for a long time. but yeah, depth would be a problem.
― 6 god none the richer (m bison), Saturday, 2 July 2016 03:36 (seven years ago) link
Two guys who might slip through that I like are Miles Plumlee and James Ennis
― Matt Armstrong, Saturday, 2 July 2016 03:37 (seven years ago) link
― J0rdan S., Friday, July 1, 2016 11:15 PM (8 minutes ago)
very intriguing lineup that will still get swept by the cavs, lol
― k3vin k., Saturday, 2 July 2016 03:40 (seven years ago) link
trying to understand the evan turner thing. is he gonna play the 3? or come of the bench? how does that even work
― k3vin k., Saturday, 2 July 2016 03:41 (seven years ago) link

plumlee was so fun on the suns just a couple years ago for about two months. then lost all his confidence for whatever reason
― moistest hoist (Spottie), Saturday, 2 July 2016 03:43 (seven years ago) link
that hawks lineup isn't any better than what they've had for the past couple years. less shooting too.
― call all destroyer, Saturday, 2 July 2016 03:43 (seven years ago) link
― moistest hoist (Spottie), Friday, July 1, 2016 11:29 PM (11 minutes ago)
thought i heard somewhere that the clips would have to get rid of redick for KD to work
― k3vin k., Saturday, 2 July 2016 03:43 (seven years ago) link
makes sense
― moistest hoist (Spottie), Saturday, 2 July 2016 03:45 (seven years ago) link
even if the clips fill out the roster with a bunch of scrubs, cp3 and kd and daj and griffin is a scary ass team and theres a real role as a dynamic scoring threat from the wing for KD there. i'd still rather him go to LAC than GS.
― 6 god none the richer (m bison), Saturday, 2 July 2016 03:48 (seven years ago) link
hmm think he shd go to boston
― lag∞n, Saturday, 2 July 2016 03:49 (seven years ago) link
i've said i want KD to go to the warriors for the drama and i would still love it, but actually i hope he signs with the clippers because chris paul needs a ring
― k3vin k., Saturday, 2 July 2016 03:50 (seven years ago) link
no, clippers are cursed, kd is cursed, that team wont win, itll just be scary bc of ghost stories
― 6 god none the richer (m bison), Saturday, 2 July 2016 03:52 (seven years ago) link
i think its like 90% he's staying in OKC tho
― moistest hoist (Spottie), Saturday, 2 July 2016 03:52 (seven years ago) link
i have heard this number, too, where tf did it come from?

marc spears iirc xp
― call all destroyer, Saturday, 2 July 2016 03:56 (seven years ago) link
kd on clippers feels even more wrong than dubs somehow
― ciderpress, Saturday, 2 July 2016 03:57 (seven years ago) link
they would have 4 players making over 20 mill
― moistest hoist (Spottie), Saturday, 2 July 2016 03:59 (seven years ago) link
a whole team of evan turners crazy to think about
― lag∞n, Saturday, 2 July 2016 04:02 (seven years ago) link
the hawk's offense def got worse but if dwight can defend and most importantly rebound half of what he used to the team won't be any worse. the hawk's have been so bad at giving teams extra possessions bc they can't get a board. they were a good defense last year but this line up could potentially be a lot better. and plus we're only paying a 3 yr max instead of 5 for our big man so i'm not too mad
but damn i'm gonna miss horford. i can still remember exactly what i was doing when the hawks got the third pick in lotto (would've lost it if it was 4 or higher) and i knew we were getting him. he always brought it, even when playing under some of the shittiest coaches and for some really unlikeable teams. one of the most consistent players i've ever seen. it was a pleasure watching him go at it all the time. kinda hope he goes to the Cs even though i generally hate the Cs. that'll be a seriously tough defense with him out there.
― Heez, Saturday, 2 July 2016 04:03 (seven years ago) link
im still agog at this solomon hill deal. like...he averaged 4 and 3 last year. played <15 mpg. career 33% from 3. 4 year/50 mil.
― 6 god none the richer (m bison), Saturday, 2 July 2016 04:08 (seven years ago) link
yeah xp something like this too
Jonathan Tjarks @JonathanTjarks 52m52 minutes agoFeels like the Hawks didn't want to run the same team back after getting swept by the Cavs two straight years.
