Hearing Jeremy Lin landed a three-year deal worth $36 million from Brooklyn

this is actually far less than i expected given it's the nets

becoming the jeremy lin show while you wait out your penance is not the worst idea

for real

Clarkson musta wanted to stay he could have gotten more out there

That derozan money is O_______o

Whiteside last season: $980,000.

Whiteside new contract: $98,000,000.

100 times more. That is the definition of keeping it 💯.

Told Rockets’ contingent that met with Bazemore included owner Les Alexander, HOFers Hakeem Olajuwon & Clyde Drexler, and James Harden.

lol @ all this but fit-wise this seems to make a good bit of sense

Maybe he can get harden to smile again

Jeremy Lin last year: 26.3 min, .412 FG%, 11.7 pts, 3.0 ast, 3.2 reb
Jarrett Jack last year: 32.1 min .391 FG%, 12.8 pts, 7.4 reb, 4.3 ast

lin >>>> jack

oh definitely but i'm still amused

those stats are wrong tho, 4.3 reb, 7.4 ast

lin def better than jack and also dude is coming back from an ACL tear and is 32 years old. I'm sure my ego would be bruised if i was in his situation tho. probably best just to keep off twitter for 24 hours after something like that

i know people are ripping the lakers but a young core of

Russell
Clarkson
Ingram
Randle

could be v good in 2-4 years. two of those guys have star potential and the other two should be solid starters/rotation guys for a long time. who cares who they fill the salaries up with otherwise to hit the salary floor. as long as its not crippling like that derozan contract would have been for them. even wildcard Nance could turn into a nice player

Lin gets to be The Guy on a team with no expectations, thats a pretty nice gig if you dont care about rings. they prob want to find a rim runner to be his pick&roll buddy though, not sure if they have that guy on the roster already

A person with knowledge of the Blazers' plans says their intention is to go after both Chandler Parsons and Dwight Howard.

this has me irrationally excited

i'm still unsure of this group. clarkson is a nice bench piece and randle seems like a good role player too but i'm not sure if russell or ingram are getting to like top 10 player in the league status tho i thought russell looked really good as a rookie. but maybe they'll get close enough for the lakers to sign someone like that.

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojVerticalNBA 11s11 seconds ago
Indiana is nearing a deal with free agent center Al Jefferson, league source tells @TheVertical.

pacers locking down the 4 seed

thats a poor strategy when 2-3 are still up for grabs

I will become a lil b surrogate if KD signs with the warriors, I will revive my dark hoops twitter and place all kinds of injury hexes

lol, pacers are prob gonna be slower and more boring after firing frank vogel for running a system that was slow and boring (but effective!)

Adam Silver gotta step in, 4 top 15 players on the same team is like a call for the feds to get involved, someone should file an antitrust suit asap

Xp

Im hearing 4/30 for Al. thats cheap. fake maybe?

two top three players B-)

Fucked up

unless you're a dubs homer not sure why KD to warriors would be good for the league

would be awful and corny af, worse than bron to heat imo

warriors prob have the best pitch to durant for signing this year rather than next since they lose all cap flexibility next year with steph needing a new contract. its like 'we can offer the closest thing ever to a Sure Thing but it has to be this year'

Drummond staying for 5/130

3/30

drummond gets a lot better if they Change The Rule

yup

i mean you can still hack him to death as soon as he touches the ball but at least he'll be able to play at the end of the game

unless you're a dubs homer not sure why KD to warriors would be good for the league

Otm, the heatles turned around a mediocre Miami team, and Bron wasn't going to win a title with the support he was getting in Cleveland. KD leaving a contending okc to join the dubs who are already one of the best teams of all time and have one of the two players that can best him for mvp right is so offensive 2 me. I mean at least if he joins the spurs he will def be the top guy and there will be a duopoly in the west instead of a monopoly.

cut him down with axes and hatchets

I was thinking of going to his school and bullying him real bad, that,seems a bit extreme

I think if the warriors would have won it in 5 like they should have then this would be seen differently. as it stands they need/needed him and have a legit case to present to him

SHUT UUUUUUUP, if Draymond can just stop punching people in the balls they win the title. They don't need KD, they need dray to stop nut punching.

but theydont want to keep harrison who will probably earn close to KD money, soooooooo who do you love

they don't 'need' him, they could run it back with no/minor roster changes and win 65 games and be the favorites again.

would be awful and corny af, worse than bron to heat imo

bron to the heat was...great for the league
