  1. The problem with doing that is it eats up most of the money they have for free agents. Better to let him sit and sign other people. He likes it here. If he is cleared of it in a month or two, he can always do a one-year deal for the vet minimum and enter free agency again next year.
  2. Just a guess on my part. I think if he received a ban, the league would void his contract and not count it against the salary cap. No clue if they would still have to pay it. I'm sure there is something already negotiated in the CBA that deals with it.
  3. Maybe if they had some extra picks stockpiled. Fair price, nice player, just too expensive for a team in Detroit's position.
  4. Same deal Reid got. Smith is a bit worse on offense, better on defense, probably. These deals look huge. But with the rising cap, that is only 16% of the cap this year. Max for a guy his age is 25%.
  5. Bojan Bogdanović announced he is retiring.
  6. Someone posted this on Reddit and said, guilty.
  7. Unless the feds announce nothing happened in the next day or two, they have to move on from Beasley. The feds are not going to release any info about an investigation. So the only side of the story you will get is his and who knows what the truth is. You can't risk committing money to someone who might face a lifetime ban in the coming months. You also cant wait until the investigation is over because you will miss out on other people if you have to replace him. He really screwed up. Even if he is innocent, by the time it comes out everyone will have spent their money and he has to sign somewhere for the vet minimum.
  8. I read that Boston is looking for a return on Derick White similar to what Brooklyn received for Bridges. Seems about right to me. He can be that missing piece for a contender.
  9. Kid has only played 1 year and 36 games. Hard to argue with anything Presti does, though.
  10. One of these guys need to change their names. I thought he just gave OKC the greatest home team discount ever.
  11. Don't be shocked if deals announced today or tomorrow are not completed until after July 6th when the new season starts.
  12. He still had to say he is evaluating his LA future. Because he is a dramatic little bitch that always has to keep his name in the headlines.
  13. Posting here because the tidbit about Aldama is relevant to us since we are rumored to be interested. To get rid of his cap hold, they have to renounce him. That would make him unrestricted and Memphis would no longer have the right to match our offer. Much easier to sign him then, and probably a bit cheaper.
  14. The dumb thing about these pro athletes getting caught on prop bets? You can't make any money on them. None. If you went to every book right now and opened accounts, I would be shocked if you could find one with a $10,000 limit or higher. Even if you do, once you win a few bets, they are going to start limiting you down. Within a week or two you are going to be limited at $10 a bet. I would be shocked if he even made $100,000. That is chump change to a guy with career earnings of $50 million and about to get another $40 million bag. Just stupid.
  15. Sources told you he will pick one of the two options available to him? Sources told me the coin will land on heads, or it could land on tails.
  16. I made my feelings on Beasley know during the season. Not opening that can of worms again. I would have been fine with a 1-year deal. But no way should they have given him a 3-year deal. He has been bad in the playoffs his entire career. We are now at a point where we have to take into consideration how a guy performs in the playoffs. Moving on will be a good thing.
  17. Negotiations can start tonight at 6PM. So starting this thread a few days early so all the posts are in one spot instead of mixed between two threads.
