    Nobody knows what KD is going to decide to do. He probably has no idea yet. I think a lot of destinations are in play with OKC and DC being the favorites.

    Real GM said he'd take the most OKC could offer on a 1-yr deal then hit FA again in 2017 but i agree with you on DC or OKC.

    I could be looking at the situation wrong but I don't think getting every last dollar is what motivates KD.

    I dont either, it comes down to who gives him the best shot to win.

    But then again Melo took the money like an idiot over going to a winning team so who knows.

    In Melo's case, yes.

    Yeah, because 80-90 million is certainly impossible to live off.

    If i'm getting a fair deal on a winning team, yeah, i wouldnt wanna bankrupt my team so they cant get put better pieces around me.

    Thethe and Heyward need their own show.
    The Atlanta Braves signed Nick Markakis for 4/45 - Never forget 12/3/2014

    Kanter was a RFA.

    No, KD is the 2nd best player in the world, he deserves it. Melo only cares about his stats and money.

    Perry Jones traded to Boston for a future 2nd round pick.

    OKC sold really low on this stud

    Jones can still be a useful player but he just doesn't seem to really want it at all. Has a lot of talent.

    I still believe Lamb is goingto be a good player.

    He looks good on D, shot looks good....doesn't look smooth out there but so far, so good.

    I like that he isn't forcing anything. Lot of pressure on him being in NY and not becoming the next Fredrick Weiss.

    He looks to have solid basketball instincts, where he is on the floor and when to rotate on defense. I think the Knicks got the second best player in the draft at #4. Well done.

    I'm not going that far.....he shouldn't be another Bargs though.

    I love this draft class overall. There are several guys that will be great players. Anthony Bennet might be back half of 2015 draft.

    Yup, thats why I was big into the THunder keeping their pick this year. They essentially are giving up a 25-30 pick in an awful draft as opposed to a high teen draft pick from this past year.

    I just wish I could have seen Payne play in the summer league. Watching clips of his games were impressive.


    Heck, I keep talking about Towns/Porzingis but Mudiay has been the most impressive player thus far in summer league. That kid is a physical monster. No PG is going to be able to body up with him and that includes RW.

    Phil Presey released by the Celtics. Any team that needs a backup PG on their roster should take him.

    Have you guys watched Towns in the Summer League?

    That guy is going to be a better pro thana college player.

    He's certainly going to be good, but I'm not sure he's at the level people think he's going to be.
