OT: NBA Free Agency

[nelsonmuntz]

Chandler Parsons got a deal for $15MM/year. I like Parsons' game, but $15MM? This is a good year to be an NBA free agent.

I think LeBron is going to Cleveland. I think if he has taken it this far, he plans on going. I think he was waiting for Cleveland to get the cap space. It would be really cold if he was just messing with them, because it would have been completely unnecessary. LeBron James doesn't need to play games like this to get leverage. He is LeBron James.

I think he was always going to return home, and I also think he realizes that the Heat are probably not winning a title as constructed. Wade is not getting younger or less beat up, and Bosh is really just a supporting actor and is probably going to Houston anyway. Unless he has a time machine, Danny Granger doesn't solve anything. McRoberts? Allen may be following him to Cleveland anyway.

Scoreboard.

That sound you hear is the Boneyard's collective jaw hitting the floor after realizing that a nelsonmuntz prediction did not, in fact, turn out to be 100% incorrect, as usual.

Got lost in the LeBron sweepstakes but the Hornets signed gordon hayward. A very nice pickup for a team that's starting to finally throw together a respectable roster

Utah is expected to match the offer. But who knows - they could have been bluffing.

Kind of like when I said SMU and Iowa were in big trouble for tournament bids when everyone else was saying they were mortal locks. SMU got bounced and Iowa was the last at large.

Is that your best example?

Whelp, you were right once.

Bosh is heading back to Miami, according to my sources.... well, it's all over the news now, so that's my source!

Still more credible than Chris Broussard.

Isiah Thomas signed &traded to the Suns for 4/27. The Kings get a 7 million trade exception and the draft rights to (*drumroll please*) Alex Oriahki!

Wow, hope A.O. beats out 7'50" Sim Bhullar for a roster spot in Sacramento! But what does this say about 1st round pick Tyler Ennis in Phoenix? Seems like Ennis could be 4th string behind Bledsoe, Dragic, Thomas... if Ennis beats out Ish Smith (well, Ish will probably be cut). Or maybe they're looking beyond Bledsoe & Dragic? Very interesting move.
