2019 Free Agency

[Russ Smith]

If it's a Raptors private plan doesn't that imply either no decision or the Raptors are it? Why would they let him use their private plane to go to the Lakers or Clippers?

He gave the Raptors the final meeting. That was what they wanted and got from him when all this started. They wanted to be the closer because that gives them the best opportunity to walk away with a deal. It makes sense, to go last. Whether this is that meeting? I don't know. I thought he was in Canada for that. Maybe they came back to talk specifics.


I'm saying he stays in Toronto. Jalen Rose called it and even before he said it, I thought it was unlikely he'd leave but that sort of confirmation made me more confident in that he's staying for at least 2 years.

The Grizzlies are trading CJ Miles to Washington for Dwight Howard, league source tells ESPN. Deal saves Memphis $3.1M. Grizzles will waive or trade Howard, per source.

I forget that Howard is still in the league. No chance he goes to the Lakers if released.

And another move by Grizzlies.

Grizz aren’t finished. Per source, they have waived veteran SG Avery Bradley. His 2019-20 salary ($12.9M) would have been guaranteed last Thursday. Memphis will have to pay Bradley his $2M guaranteed for next year. Grizz continue to get further below the cap line for more moves.

It's interesting the Suns haven't done anything with Kyle Korver yet.

Maybe they are hopeful a trade might be possible when some teams find they have leftover money to spend.

Well, most media guys have taken Friday off. It's not the sixth yet. And no one seems to want to do anything until Kawhi makes up his mind. It also sound like contract deadlines can be extended. A couple guys have agreed to that already.

 

[Sunburn]

Lol. It’s his career he can take all the time he wants. Are those people paying any of his bills? Let him blow out his knees and watch how fast those front offices and fans turn on him.

I'm not talking just about the FO's. I'm also talking about the players, and all the other waves in the pond. This decision has pretty much put the entire association on hold. There comes a point when holding up the train becomes disrespectful to the other passengers. He has a right to wait, but it's still disrespectful, especially if he's just putzing around.

I get this. Some people need to think about things and mull it over it's their process. My wife has to do that. Me, I am decisive. I have pre thought about what's going to happen and potential options. If I had three teams present me their options, probably 15 minutes later I have decidied. My wife is like Kawhi, she has to take several days to think about it. I just learned to live with it.

How much money do they have?
They really wanted Oubre.

Now if the Suns are looking at a backup wing to bring in, Avery Bradley would fit needs.

The Grizzlies could have had Oubre if they wanted him bad enough.

I guess they could theoretically pursue Oubre and keep Dillon Brooks. I'm haven't followed their finances.

They did come to terms with Valanciunas and traded Mike Conley.

Congrats on finding a job. I remember those days.

I'm retired now. The hours are great, but the pay sucks!

Let's not jump to conclusions here. We play the Lakers/Clippers/Warriors a grand total of 12 times in an 82-game season. And surprisingly enough, we tend to play better against good teams than we do against bad ones.

 

[GatorAZ]

The Clippers backcourt/wings are stacked. Kawhi/George along with PatBev and Lou (and Shamet!)
