2021 nba offseason draft free agency etc

duncan robinson can for sure shoot the ball no denying that. i just think thats an overpay and a too many years for a one dimensional player

i still don’t trust that gary trent jr is good idk why

Klutch Sports agent Lucas Newton was part of negotiating the Trent Jr., deal, too.

lmao

I can see the Spurs having an interest in Zach Collins as an intriguing gamble, but not $7.3 million/year's worth of interest.

Furkan Korkmaz has agreed to a three-year, $15M deal to stay with the 76ers, his agents Mike Lindeman and Jeff Schwartz of @excelbasketball tell ESPN.

these contracts, guys. i'm not impressed!

100 million for jarrett allen is utterly insane. and i LIKE jarrett allen.

Free agent Dwight Howard is returning to the Lakers, his agent Qais Haider tells ESPN.

Bobby Portis has chosen to be a Milwaukee sports legend and god bless him

Nuggets made those moves without using their mid-level 🤔

what I love about the Bobby Portis deal is that he's exactly the sort of player the 2015 Bucks would've massively overpaid for

collins was of course a fan favorite in portland (“lunch pail” hard working white dude, so duh, but also *because* he was always hurt fans projected all sorts of weird potential onto him) so that they just let him go without a qualifying offer says a lot imo, good luck Spurs

Free agent Evan Fournier has agreed to a four-year deal that could be worth as much as $78M with the New York Knicks, source tells ESPN.

this is getting to 2015 FA territory here

seemed like something like that was going to happen for a couple days now. knicks locking in 46 wins a year for the foreseeable future

*2016 xp

knicks for life

batum staying in LAC

3/43 rose NYK

i think that's just about the most they could pay him

caruso 4/37 to bulls

This means that he is leaving the LA Lakers!

— Magic’s Burner (@MagicsBurner) August 3, 2021

how many times has ariza been on the lakers

caruso is a nice player but 4 years…

Ariza:

2 Professional career
2.1 New York Knicks (2004–2006)
2.2 Orlando Magic (2006–2007)
2.3 Los Angeles Lakers (2007–2009)
2.3.1 2009 playoffs
2.4 Houston Rockets (2009–2010)

2.10 Sacramento Kings (2019–2020)
2.11 Portland Trail Blazers (2020)
2.12 Miami Heat (2021–present)

Only been on the lakers once before! But this is his third "second stint"

no idea what the bulls are doing

i guess the bulls need to try and get players to be a better team but how is the ceiling higher than 7th seed and stomped out of the gym in round 1. and that's if everything breaks right

i still think that vucevic trade is one of the worst moves of the last few seasons i can't believe how many otherwise smart NBA ppl were praising it

Free agent C Daniel Theis has agreed to a four-year, $36M deal to join the Houston Rockets, his agents Michael Tellem and Aaron Mintz of @CAA_Basketball tell ESPN.

it was so bad

a few days ago vucevic's name drifted into my mind and i tried to remember who he played for and i had absolutely no idea

Free agent swingman Reggie Bullock has agreed to a three-year, $30.5 million deal with the Dallas Mavericks, his agent David Bauman of @ISEBasketball tells @TheAthletic @Stadium.

remember when this was the summer dallas had cap space to get a star before their team got too expensive?

Vuvevic was my favorite track on NTS 2

mavs offense is gonna be insane in the regular season but they're gonna need to figure out how to defend teams in the playoffs and also if any of their guys will make shots when it counts. they might put up the no 1 offensive efficiency in the league tho

pj tucker to the heat!

it turned out to be a bad summer to have cap space, the only important guys changing teams are lonzo and lowry. lonzo would've been an interesting fit next to luka tho in that he can play defense and shoot to some degree but can handle the ball w/o need it in his hands. would you rather have him at 4/80 or hardaway jr at 4/72? i guess they can exceed the cap w/ hardaway so idk how it all works out. they seem marginally better at best essentially making one change which is bullock over josh richardson

heat really leaning into the florida as retirement community vibe

The New Orleans Pelicans are landing Charlotte restricted free agent guard Devonte Graham on a four-year, $47M contract in a sign-and-trade deal, agents Ty Sullivan and Austin Brown of @CAA_Basketball tell ESPN.

New Orleans will send Charlotte its 2022 lottery-protected first-round pick, source tells ESPN.

Sam Amick: The Lakers did a very puzzling thing today, and only time will tell if they pay a price for it in their pursuit of an 18th championship. When faced with the prospect of losing Alex Caruso, the 27-year-old guard whose Bird rights they carried and could thus pay whatever they wanted, they didn't put up any free-agency fight en route to him agreeing to a four-year, $37 million deal with Chicago. According to a source with knowledge of the situation, Caruso's camp went back to the Lakers after the Bulls made their offer and were told that there would be no counter.

would've been cool to keep Tucker but yeah he's definitely a Miami kinda guy

devonte graham is....fine, but the pels sequence of transactions really doesn't hold up to scrutiny.

i don’t see how he helps them not be one of the five worst defensive teams in the league

he’s also a guy who wants to have the ball in his hands and is behind two all stars who will eat up a lot of possessions. but he can shoot so that’s one thing

they're going to be a really good offense and a horrific defense.

no one talks about it but i think it's really, really hard to build a high-level team around zion

you need to pair him with a defensively minded 5 who can space the floor and theres not many of those

same problem you have with all bigs who cant shoot or defend. cc sabonis

The Pelicans have totally mangled the last two years and are fully on course to lose Zion some day, agent John Koktostin of @CAA tells @ringer.
