getting strong 'where's poochie' vibes from magic's camp today

happy trails darren collison. a bad point guard market just got a little worse.

https://theundefeated.com/features/darren-collison-i-have-decided-to-retire-from-the-nba/

can’t believe he & i are the same age

Bucks waive George Hill

With all the cap space teams have opened, the second tier of FAs seem like they're going to get paid this offseason, too.

whoa shit mirotic is signing in europe

woah
between him and collison I bet a lot of teams that weren't targeting the big fish plans just changed

woj & shams reporting kemba to the Celtics

folks, free agency doesnt give a fuck about your rules!!!!

Free agent Kyrie Irving is meeting with the Brooklyn Nets in New York on Sunday and both sides are motivated to move quickly toward reaching a 4-year, $141M deal, league sources tell ESPN.

Sources: Jimmy Butler expected to meet the Miami Heat in South Fla. Sunday. Butler/Rockets meeting likely early week in LA. Sixers haven’t ruled out working with Butler on sign-and-trades, which Miami and Houston need to acquire the All-Star guard.

Free agent G Derrick Rose will meet with the Pistons on Sunday, with both sides motivated on finding a pathway to a two-year contract, league sources tell ESPN.

what are the rules, are they not supposed to start until monday?

tomorrow at 6 EST i think is when teams are allowed to start talking to FAs.

jimmy is a heat type player i like it

hoping that the heat will make another deal to add another all-star aka one of the spurs dudes.

Kemba Walker plans to be in Boston on Sunday to finalize a formal agreement with the Celtics, league sources tell ESPN.

— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) June 29, 2019

kawhi leaving the east and butler leaving phil means its totally within reason to say boston could be the 2nd seed. unless miami has more tricks up their sleeve.

oh no hornets what are you doing

Sources: Boston's showing interest in a 3-team sign-and-trade w/ Kyrie Irving (Nets), Kemba Walker (Celtics) and Terry Rozier (Hornets). Boston wants to create a full MLE and would likely need to surrender at least a first-round pick to Nets. So far, talks are exploratory.

— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) June 30, 2019

hornets only doing that bc they wanna sign rozier and theyre capped out?

wanna sign rozier is the questionable part

i guess somebody has to

How much fucking money do they want to give rozier?! Christ if he gets like 4 years $60 mil I’m gonna check myself into an asylum

dont do that, just stop being a hornets fan with any expectations

Shams reporting Dame deal is 6/258

as a pure extension i’m seeing 4/196

thats...a lot

brook lopez stays with the bucks, 4/52

good deal for them. he'll be worth that and more for another two years and then if he starts to suck you can trade his expiring contract.

yeah that seems like a good number to me. the space they cleared with the snell trade got them comfortably above the midlevel so they could outbid a lot of teams.

OMG kd to nets

Kevin Durant is planning to sign with the Brooklyn Nets, league sources tell ESPN.

— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) June 30, 2019

there it is!

Fun!! Bummer that we have to wait a year to see him and Kyrie suit up together.

what an amazing job by the nets.

totally, brooklyn will be fun as hell in 2021

ha theyre getting deandre jordan too

!!!!

huh that kinda works

i think they have garrett temple lined up too

yeah, gm sean marks making moves

The Knicks now have the cap space to trade for Chris Paul.

— Dave Schilling (@dave_schilling) June 30, 2019

the nets have done this without giving up most of their playoff core (d'angelo russell aside)

What a quick bounceback from that legendary fleecing. Props.

Somebody check on Evol J

Free agent guard Terry Rozier plans to agree to a three-year, $58M contract with the Charlotte Hornets via sign-and-trade, league sources tell @TheAthleticNBA @Stadium.

OH MY GOD

its bad

fully guaranteed

WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
