NBA Offseason 2016 - FreeAgency money dried up...Waiters gets $2.6 after OKC pulled $6+ offer...

I think Jeffs agent is David Falk... I know he isnt the powerbroker he once was but letting Jeff sign for one year in this market is dam near criminal!
 
Watch next year

So I guess the NBA is about to have baseball contracts? Just about every superstar in the Finals should have 250 million deals. Green,Klay, Steph, Irving and "love" should all make that. With Bron honestly making 500+ to 750 million and a nice stake of ownership in the Cav.
 
Thats exactly what it was. Dallas had the highest payroll that year and Dirk was officiated in a manner we havent seen since. The league made up for 06 that Finals.
I saw it in one instance in particular where they called a charge on Bron that should have been and one. Would have changed the series.
That being said, I remember Dirk hit some clutch shots in Bosh face.
Was watching it and posting here throughout those Finals.
Didn't like losing but some of me favorite players got rings.
Matrix, Kidd, Butler, Chandler are all deserving.
Par for the course.
 
I wouldnt risk it tho... Not with his track record. I love Jeff (dc nigga) but he is who he is.. A career under achiever.. He shoulda got one of them 4 year $72millie deals they throwing out... $60 at the very lest. Jeff 30 years old man... fuck gambling on next summer.

exactly.
deng didn't hesitate to take 70 million. lol deng. 70 million fucking dollars for a dude who is just a cool to average player and when given the chance to be the man shrunk up.

i remember when rose got hurt and they were like good for the bulls cause now boozer and deng can finally get the shots they needed cause rose was taking shots from them lol
got mighty mute once reality set in about who they were

WALTHAM, Mass. - The Boston Celticswill make their pitch to free-agentKevin Durant on Saturday evening, but their warm-up appears to have gone well.

The Celtics emerged encouraged after meeting with free-agent forward Al Horford on Friday night, a league source confirmed. The Vertical reported Saturday that the Celtics and Wizards had emerged as frontrunners for Horford, while the Atlanta Journal Constitution reported that Horford had informed the Hawks that he would make a decision on his future by Saturday evening.

Isaiah Thomas has repeated that the team needs more established talent to make the jump to legitimate contender.

Thomas is part of Boston's recruiting contingent on the Horford and Durant visits. Thomas has been in touch with both players via text message trying to sell them on Boston and has hinted that Horford in particular is interested.

"I just reached out to [Horford]," Thomas told reporters on Thursday. "I got his number and reached out to him saying, 'I'm interested in playing with you. I just want to put that in your ear. I know the Celtics would love if you came and are a part of the organization. Good luck with the process.' And things like that. And then he texted me back, he said, 'I'm a fan of how you guys play. I'm a fan of your game and would love the opportunity, but we'll see what happens.' The time is crazy for those type of guys right now so you never know what would happen but guys know about Boston. Guys are definitely talking Boston. And that's a good thing."
 
Cavs can still match Delly's offer, but LeBron basically says no way
Wanting to add some point guard depth, theMilwaukee Bucks agreed to sign Matthew Dellavedova to a four-year, $38 million deal on Friday. The Bucks may have offered Dellavedova such a large deal because he is a restricted free agent and the Cavs can match any offer.

However, based on this tweet from LeBron James, it doesn't seem like the Cavs will be matching Dellavedova's offer:

Now of course James may be truly congratulating Dellavedova for his new contract. But if the Cavs were going to match, LeBron may have not tweeted at all or said something along the lines of having to bring Dellavedova back to Cleveland.

This may be reading too much into a tweet of 140 characters but they don't call him King James for nothing. If James wanted Dellavedova back, Delly would be back. Instead it looks like the James is wishing Dellavedova best of luck in Milwaukee.
