It's finally his time.

My biggest issue with Westbrook is because I'm a stats guy, and his triple-double record is what it is purely because rebounds get left for him so he can pad his stats to get those triple-doubles. 

We've seen what happens when Westbrook and Harden had to share the ball, I wonder if he and LeBron are going to have the same issues. And I still think AD is the best player the Lakers have.

The Terrence Clarke part of the draft was so emotional, and a real classy act by the NBA.

LOL

[Pooker]

Chris Paul and Kawhi Leonard have both declined their players options and have become unrestricted free agents.

[Your Mom]

The Chris Paul one is disappointing. I thought he finally had something with the Suns

[gunnar hendershow]

I wouldn't be surprised if he stays in Phoenix after all this. He knows he stands to make more money if he can get a long-term deal. That team should only improve each year as well.

Kawhi I also expect to stay and get a new 2-3 year contract.

[Pooker]

Yea, pretty much. He'll probably get a 3 year, $100 million contract from the Suns, so he'll make less per year this next season, but he'll be in a better position if something like an injury did happen next year.

Also Jeff Green possibly going to Denver and Jimmy Butler getting a big extension in Miami.

Alex Caurso signed with the Bulls.

[Cut2theKwik]

Reggie Bullock to Dallas for 3 years/30.5 mill

2019: Sign Seth Curry for 4/32

2020: Trade Seth for Josh Richardson 

2021: JRich regresses hard and picks up a player option for 11 mill that he is no longer worth so the Mavs dump him to clear the cap space for Bullock

Pretty sure I would just prefer having Seth back. This team is so frustrating. Can't wait until we attach picks to unload KP for an equally horrendous contract like Kemba.

 

[KJE]

I knew it was inevitable, but Lowry leaving the Raptors is sad.

Well, NOW who's shooting 3s for the Lakers?! Certainly won't be new re-signing Dwight Howard. 

Love the Jimmy Butler extension, love the Kyle Lowry trade, love the PJ Tucker signing. I'm getting quite excited already for the next season now.

Newly signed Wayne Ellington is currently their best 3 pt shooter.

[Pooker]

Lakers have signed Carmelo Anthony to be their new 3 point threat.

[Cut2theKwik]

Andre Drummond is going to try to rehab his value the same way Dwight Howard did, by backing up Joel Embiid. Signed a minimum contract with Philadelphia. Dude probably cost himself $50 million by opting in last season.

Malik Monk too. All of a sudden they have just as much floor spacing as they had last season.

[livid]

The most important FA signing is of course Bobby Portis re-signing with the Bucks, though.

[Pooker]

DeMar Derozan traded to the Bulls. Bulls having a great off season so far.

Most important move so far is Rudy Gay to the Jazz.

[Cut2theKwik]

3 years/85 million seems excessive for a 32 year old that has famously bad advanced stats. The Bulls seem keen on going all-in and they still have Markannen as an rfa. Lauri for Porzingis swap? 🤞

Ellington, Melo, and Monk aren't the ideal deep threats but they've put enough on that team to probably make it work. Their average age is still a huge issue, so so so old.
