The Pacers really need to keep Ian Mahinmi. We have Thad Young so we should move Turner to Center which means he'll have to go to the bench but he's an important player for us to keep so if we need to, we can go big. But overall, we don't really need to make a move unless they want to shop Monta Ellis

Pacers just signed Al Jefferson.

Report: Ian Mahinmi is not returning to Pacers

bucks signing mirza is a good move, you get a big guy that can shoot. evan fourneir; no insight on him but he's a solid player from what i know. parsons is overpaid but at least memphis get someone good at SF. evan turner to blazers was unexpected.

Evan Fourneir stays with the Magic 5 years / $85M
Mirza Teletovic signs with the Bucks 3 years / $30M
Chandler Parsons signs with the Grizzlies 4 years / $94M
Evan Turners signs with the Blazers 4 years / $75M

another:
Jerryd Bayless signs with the 76ers 3 years / $27M
Matthew Dellavadova signs with the Bucks 4 years / $38M

solid pickup by bucks again; 76ers finally getting decent players...

My first twist response is to bash the Mozgov deal. However, seeing the massive inflation of contracts, I don't think it's as bad as it appears right now.
For one thing, the fourth year is a team option, and the drop in his performance this year was due to offseason knee surgery and a lingering cyst. Still, this deal could end up being another of Jimmy Boys' dumb mistakes. We won't really know for another year or two, and the hope is that Zubac will develop by his 3rd year and we can cut bait with Moz.

I'm surprised at the Turner signing though. 75mil for EVAN FUCKING TURNER?? Did people forget how bad he was before Celtics coach Brad Stevens managed to play him almost exclusively to his strengths? He has almost no outside range and is an average finisher. Not sure what the Blazers were thinking haha.

Lastly, I can't wait to see Dwight fall on his ass, again, in ATL. People are finally starting to realize what Laker fans have known all along; Dwight Howard is the Kim Kardashian of the NBA and Kobe wasn't the problem at all.

Evan Turner is probably gonna be used as another ball handler because they struggled with only CJ / Damian as their good ball-handler. He's a decent scorer as well from mid-range.

also;

luol deng -> lakers
joe johnson -> jazz

I want to see Sacramento keep Rondo and dish Gay + Collison + McLemore + that Greek centre they picked up for Jimmy Butler. This trade gives the Kings a shooting guard who isn't absolutely terrible, gives Cousins a reason to want to stay later on, gives a solid defender for Dave Jorger to start with (if these factors allow Rondo to find his previous form, Sacramento could end up with one of the best perimeter defences in the NBA), and allows the Jewish wonder OMRI CASSPI to get starter's minutes for more floor-stretching fun.

Both Cousins and Rondo shot career-best marks from outside last season, and by starting Casspi, who is coming off the best season of his career, the Kings ideally no longer have any more 3-point woes. The addition of Dave Jorger hopefully helps their defence, especially when developing Cauley-Stein, who should grab starter's minutes next year as well, into a true threat (Cauley-Stein has also shown significant development in his offensive game as last season progressed).

C - Willie Cauley-Stein
PF - Demarcus Cousins
SF - Omri Casspi
SG - Jimmy Butler
PG - Rajon Rondo

Collison gives the Bulls a workable starting PG (he was an extremely efficient scorer in his last two seasons) who isn't amazing, but hey, his contract expires after next season. Gay can uh, handle the scoring load I guess, and McLemore sucks, but hey, what can ya do! I have no idea why the Kings picked that Greek dude at #13 but with Robin Lopez as their only workable centre I'd assume the Bulls would want a bit more depth at that spot, and they can grab a prospect for the future as well.

Obviously this trade doesn't make too much sense considering the Bulls are planning to build around Jimmy Butler, but hey, a guy can dream.

Kings just signed Aaron Affalo which is a solid pickup. I like your trade idea though, but it's highly unlikely; however there is discussion that Rudy Gay is being shopped to the Pacers as well, I don't know who would the Kings get in return though, so.... Also, Jimmy Butler is actually a mediorce; a little-under average 3pt shooter imo and is better at the postup and midrange, so the Kings would somewhat have some woes from 3 but they that lineup would still have the ability to knock down some 3s being DMC / Omri / Jimmy / Rondo (kind of? he knocked a lot of big ones last yr) able to.

update ->

ryan anderson to the rockets; i think he's a perfect fit for the team as a big man that can shoot from all over the place and shoot 3s as well

bismack biyombo to the magic; overpaid - this dude won't start over ibaka and vucevic...

trevor booker to the nets; love this move...nets are headed in a good direction after billy king's fuck up.

Knicks land Courtney Lee on a 4 yr $48 mil deal, I can get behind that considering the insane amounts of money bein thrown around this FA period. Rose/Lee/Melo/KP/Noah stay healthy plz :(((
 
rondo to the bulls; solid replacement for the lost of rose, at least the bulls look like they're somewhat in playoff contention but not championship contention

cole aldrich to the wolves; love this pickup, he played so well when deandre was out. good defender and can score in the post

jamal crawford / wesley stay with clips; expected

garret temple to the kings- meh, at least they get another guard

tyler johnson to the nets - hey, the nets are doing something good; solid pickup for them

andrew nicolson to the wizards; he's an ok big man, good backup for gortat over nene

james ennis to the grizzilies; a steal imo
 

leremyju

Banned deucer.
there's a new point guard in New York and it's not rose.



Also the heat can retain Tyler Johnson but because the way contracts for 2nd round picks work the Nets would pay him 12.5 per year while the Heat would play him 6.5-6.5-18.5-18.5

And Barnes is going to Dallas with a max unless Warriors don't get KD which means they will keep barnes
 
We retained Whiteside, lost two starters and basically a high energy backup guard in TJ who has really good potential imo while also disrespecting my all time favorite player, FatherPrime.

We are also waiting on KD which we have almost no chance of signing. I have a bittersweet taste about this free agency thus far. Come on Riley...work a little more of your magic, we need it.
