Affalo at that rate is a steal.

Good pickup for NY, still should trade Melo though.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

What are the Kings doing?

Also, are we finally starting to realize that the city that your basketball team resides in has very little to do with whether or not free agents go there?

Clearly Atlanta is the exception then. Not a single player has a desire to play there.

 

[BRule]

It's a 1+1 deal, so AA can opt out after this year. So we keep cap space for next year too.

Joe Johnson, Mookie Blaylock, Millsap, Nique, Horford. So there!

Monroe to the Bucks.

MCW, Middleton, Giannis, Parker, Monroe is a nice SL.

NY must not be a great location either now.

 

[gilesfan]

Odd, I can't believe the Knicks didn't offer him the max.

NY must not be a great location either now.

Or the Bucks offered him a lot more money.

 

[Heyward]

No one wants to play with Melo, obviously.

 

[thethe]

Or the Bucks offered him a lot more money.

Or location doesn't mean as much anymore. Social media has changed everything.

 

[Heyward]

Or the Bucks offered him a lot more money.

Pistons could offer him the most money.

Knicks/Bucks can offer the same amount.

 

[BRule]

Odd, I can't believe the Knicks didn't offer him the max.

I wouldn't have maxed him. He's a great fit in MIL but I can't believe he got the max. Guess everyone is just throwing money around

The Knicks did NOT offer the max, he took the most money.

Knicks Didn't Offer Max Contract To Greg Monroe: http://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/238558/Greg-Monroe-Agrees-To-Max-Contract-With-Bucks …

Knicks/Bucks can offer the same amount.

The Bucks offered him a max deal. The Knicks did not. Is that difficult to understand?

 

[gilesfan]

Probably a good fit for Bucks because they are so long and can be good defensively so he's not exposed as much. (he's not Kanter level bad defensively though)

 

[Heyward]

The Bucks offered him a max deal. The Knicks did not. Is that difficult to understand?

Even still, looking at both rosters, i'd much rather go to Mil over the Knicks.

If money is different/same.

 

[Heyward]

Thats not too bad, i mean, Asik just got 12 mil a year. Money isnt the same as it was a few years ago.

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA
Greg Monroe will sign a three-year, $50M deal with the Bucks, including the player option on the final year, sources tell Yahoo.

 

[chop2chip]

No, that would be dumb.

FAs choose: money, winning, location.

The Kings shed a **** ton of bad contracts and can now sign a couple free agents. They will probably be improved.

Rondo doesn't make your team better.

Or Monta for that matter. He was garbage before RC found a way to control him.

Sacramento just traded assets to win 30 games this year. What a hopeless franchise.

 

[thethe]

Is that max for Monroe?

 

[thethe]

Knicks might make offer to Kanter. Wonderful.
