2021 nba offseason draft free agency etc

josh richardson into one of boston's trade exceptions is happening. i really hope this does not close the door on fournier but i think it might.

josh richardson is like the tristan thompson of wings

the universe must balance itself i guess

would rather have the tristan thompson at wing where hes behind more good players

lagoon come back to the NBA I'll talk to the Wolves get you a roster spot

lagoon goes on vision quest retreats every year to discover the next thing in ball, worry not for his fate is ours

So apparently Suggs had a disastrous workout for the Raptors, extremely intrigued by all of this now

Watching Suggs in the NCAA he struck me as a player who combined exceptionally solid fundamentals with very good, but not top NBA tier, athleticism. That delivers great results in college ball against lesser opponents every night. In the NBA it usually tops out as a starter on a .500 team, but not all-star material. I guess we'll find out in the next couple of years.

Zach LaVine says he "wants his respect" in contract extension & will stay in touch with Bulls in coming days as they face challenging decisions with cap space: https://t.co/36T2RpAtZu

good luck chicago!

I think they should just max him out.

they really have no choice

They’re such a weird franchise, I can never motivate myself to watch any of their games

free agency is upon us, wheres all the deals dammit

there’s only like 5 players that matter and they all play the same position except for john collins so i feel like it will be a pretty quick free agency

i think markkanen might be the player i’m most interested in i feel like he has a career revival in him & i wonder who is gonna take a shot on him

Idk I expect some interesting sign and trade deals

yah there should be some interesting moves i think. what are the suns gonna do for CP? 3/100?

lowry and lonzo will prob both get signed and traded but there will be a quick domino effect in the PG market once lowry decides and that will be most of the fireworks i think

here we gooooo

love to resign the big difference makers

tho tbf as has been pointed out, teams are made of guys

those both seem like fair deals

no idea why you need to go three years on either of those guys tho i guess after two seasons it's an expiring. both those contracts could be underwater three months into next season

maybe they can part the waters again next year lol

they just announced he had surgery on his wrist too. 4 years is insane behavior. he will be 40

better be a team option on that 4th season but i was thinking 3 years with a team option on the 3rd would be the smart move

he had them over a barrel but lord

jarret allen signing is weird but he's tradable

Chris Paul has agreed to stay on a new four-year deal that could be worth as much as $120 million

teams need to brush up on the standard mutual fund disclaimer that "past results are no guarantee of future returns"

3/19 for cam payne with the suns tho

mcbuckets had a classic contract year

payne deal is a steal if last season wasnt a fluke.

jarret allen signing is weird but he's tradable

the cavs need to spend their money somehow but they traded a first and gave a huge contract to a guy who will have a marginal effect on whether they ever make the playoffs. it's just stuff bad teams do

Duncan Robinson – host of the @TheLongshotPod – has agreed to a 5-year, $90M contract to stay with the Miami Heat, his agent Jason Glushon of @GlushonSM tells ESPN. The deal, largest ever for an undrafted player, also includes an ETO after the fourth year.

torrey craig 2/10 to pacers. seems like he coulda done better than that!

4/35 for TJ MCconnell to stay with pacers. another undrafted dude getting paid

with allen its the years that does it, they would have been fine overpaying nerlens for two but no

great to have craig, hes a big wing and the pacers really needed someone like that when warren went down
