Figured I would make a general free agency post for reactions and discussions of news. Feel free to post FA signings in the comments or just give your thoughts on things so far!
Honestly feels like the Rockets massively overpaid for FVV… Blazers overpaid for Jerami Grant. We all knew Draymond wasn’t getting a max but 4/100 is definitely lower than the sum I was thinking of - the Warriors got off great in this deal. Bruce Brown deservedly so got the bag. Good for him.
I don’t know about Draymond, I feel he’s going to have a massive drop off in 2-3 years and $25M is going to look pretty bad by then.
By then the Warriors window will have closed and they’ll be looking to start a rebuild. I wouldn’t be surprised if Draymond and Curry both retire in the same offseason.
Desmond Bane just signed a max deal with the Grizzlies. 5/$207. I mean, he’s good but a max?? I didn’t see that coming.
Definitely an overpay imo.
Really shocked that it looks like not only is Lillard requesting a trade, but specifically to the Miami Heat. Definitely limits what kind of return the Blazers can get…
my question is are the Heat really going to be better off after this anyway once they finish trading away or losing all their depth?
It feels like worse off considering they lost Strus and Vincent already
Happy with the Twolves moves so far. Just gotta resign Ant and Jaden now.
Bucks resigned Middleton which was an obvious move, but losing Jevon Carter and Joe Ingles could end up hurting them. Will be interested to see who they fill those spots up with. I think resigning Brook Lopez is a must for them
Nothing too crazy so far, more drama at ESPN rn.
RIP Jeff Van Gundy. Can’t believe they picked Mark Jackson over him
