Unless the Warriors cut the years on the contract to 2 yrs you might be right
I'm surprised he ain't leaning towards the spurs
Spurs don't pay.
HOUSTON dumb enough to give him Max since he's be their primary defender
Fuckin bum
But he's a 23 million dollar bum.
History of the richest contracts in NBA history
Nene.. Deal got pulled
Grimy
Trump isn't a billionaire. For the 76ers they need shooters. 23 mil? The last couple of years have fucked the salary structure all the way up.
The Rockets came back and offered Nene a 3 year deal which he has yet to accept.
Lol that's my point
One year deal tho
Philly the reason JR got the money he got... The been looking to add a shooter at the 2
Only justification I can think of is the Sixers are under the salary minimum and need to fill in the gap.
Yea they have all those rookie deals, that won't get them to 8o-85% of cap(whatever the number is)

Warriors to meet with Andre Iguodala, offer him a three-year deal
Golden State Warriors' Kevin Durant (35) talks to Golden State Warriors' Andre Iguodala (9) during their game against the Cleveland Cavaliers in the second quarter of Game 5 of the NBA Finals at Oracle Arena in Oakland, Calif., on Monday, June 12, 2017. (Nhat V. Meyer/Bay Area News Group)
Warriors are planning to meet with free agent guard Andre Iguodala today in Los Angeles, according to a team source.
General manager Bob Myers will be armed with an offer in the range of $13 to $15 million a year. The deal will also include a third year, which is a big deal since the Warriors will have to sign Klay Thompson to an extension that year.
Iguodala, who wanted more than the Warriors’ initial overtures, hit the free agency market with a hopes of getting a lucrative offer. The goal is to put pressure on the Warriors to give him more.
He met with San Antonio, a meeting he requested, and Houston, who according to Marc Spears of The Undefeated gave Iguodala an offer. The Spurs are one of the league’s most financially savvy teams, and Houston doesn’t have $10 million to offer Iguodala without dumping more salary. So it doesn’t seem that Iguodala procured the big money deal he was hoping.
Still, the Warriors are prepared to give Iguodala a deal that presumably exceeds what he got on the free agent market so they can keep the 2015 NBA Finals MVP.
The Warriors acquired Kevin Durant this time last year with plans for the top six players to stay together. Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, Klay Thompson and now Shaun Livingston — who signed a three-year, $24 million deal last night — are all under contract. Durant is expected to sign after the Warriors are done making moves.
That leaves Iguodala. His return to the Warriors, or not, could be resolved today.
Looks like Shumpert is headed to the Rockets so the Cavs can get cap room
Just was coming to post this...remember htown wanted him during the season also....
I think Cuban is to blame
He can rub people the wrong way especially these young NBA cats
Houston getting some defenders also....
I would if Ryan Anderson or Eric Gordon is getting ship because Houston been trying to move them...
Houston has cap space?
They trying to get room for a nice player
They was fucking serious about going after Paul George they had to make some moves first
The Wizards want to extend John Wall. The guard wants to wait and see.
“I just want to kind of see what they do throughout free agency, talk to my family, talk to my agency and my managers and see what we want to do,” Wall told The Washington Post after walking the red carpet Monday night. “It’s definitely a place I want to be … I’ve just got to make sure things are going in the right direction, and make sure we are building the team in the way we want to be, and don’t get locked up in a situation where you might not feel comfortable.
“But I love being in Washington, I love playing there, and there’s not another city I’d really want to play for.”
By every account, Wall does love playing in Washington. He has made the second round of the playoffs three times in the past four years, something the team hasn’t done since the 1970s. He and Bradley Beal teamed up to form one of the league’s most exciting guard tandems — the envy of just about any team this side of Golden State (Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson) and Houston (Chris Paul and James Harden).
But it’s that last line — about wanting to make sure the team is building in the correct direction, and not being locked into an uncomfortable situation — that should have the Wizards on notice as free agency begins. In other words: Washington is on the clock. And, if it wants Wall to stick around, the Wizards are going to have to deliver.
They know it, too. This is a pivotal summer for Washington, a team that looks around and sees its foes around the East in a state of flux. The Cleveland Cavaliers still have LeBron James — but perhaps for only one more season, before he hits free agency and potentially leaves Northeast Ohio a second time. The Boston Celtics have all the assets in the world but still have to land a big fish. This summer, though, they could easily land two, like Utah Jazz forward Gordon Hayward via free agency and Indiana Pacers forward Paul George via trade.
And, remember, they already beat the Wizards in a seven-game series this spring without them.
The Toronto Raptors, meanwhile, could lose Kyle Lowry and Serge Ibaka in free agency, and the Atlanta Hawks are about to blow up the roster. In short, the path to the upper echelon of the Eastern Conference remains open, and this is Washington’s chance to secure a space in that tier for the foreseeable future.
Doing so, however, is going to require deft work by the front office, and a willingness by owner Ted Leonsis to do something he never has before: pay the luxury tax. The Wizards are one of only three teams in the NBA that has never paid the tax. If they are ever going to, now is the time.
This is Washington’s chance to prove to Wall, and to the rest of the league, the Wizards mean business. As star players from around the league consolidate themselves into a handful of teams, one thing links all of them together: quality management and ownership.
“Top salaries are now high enough for everyone,” said one league executive, “that chance of success and personal satisfaction are becoming as important as getting every last dollar.”
And that is what the Wizards have to prove this summer: that the chance of success and personal satisfaction in Washington are high enough that Wall won’t need to follow in the footsteps of Kevin Durant and Paul and look elsewhere when his contract winds down two years from now.
All the NBA news and commentary you need, once a week.
Doing so will likely mean a heavy financial commitment this summer — specifically to Otto Porter Jr., the No. 3 pick in the 2013 NBA draft, and arguably the top restricted free agent on the market this summer. There’s little doubt Porter looks better playing next to Wall, arguably the best creator of open three-point looks of any point guard in the NBA, than he would elsewhere — including Brooklyn, where the Nets are expected, both by the Wizards and other teams around the league, to potentially throw a max offer at Porter once free agency begins.
It would be a high price to pay for Porter, and would almost certainly push Washington into luxury tax territory. Choosing not to, however, comes with other concerns — most notably, how to replace Porter when the Wizards are already over the salary cap. The same goes for retaining fellow restricted free agent Bojan Bogdanovic, as well as potentially using the team’s mid-level exception to continue to round out the bench after a savvy acquisition of backup point guard Tim Frazier — fixing arguably Washington’s biggest weakness last season — for a late second-round draft pick.
None of these are easy questions to answer. But these are the kinds of questions teams are forced to answer when they have success, and when they have to make hard choices about their path forward.
That’s the situation Washington finds itself in as free agency begins. How those questions are answered could determine how Wall feels about his future with the Wizards — and, ultimately, whether he’s willing to remain in Washington for years to come.

I would agree as well...
I think Houston knows it cant sign iggy and spurs dont have funds either; GS comes with 3 years he will resign; Owners need to pay that tax and suck it up; they will be printing money with the new stadium and local tv contract; I also think Cavs trading shump is more signaling that Dan doesnt want to pay luxury tax anymore for this team...
@ 
Steph got 40 per.....
What this means.....
Soon, OKC will have to fix that Westbrook deal.
LBJ will want more than that (since he's considered the best in the NBA). which means the Cavs more than likely wont be able to afford what they need to compete long term, unless they have no issue going 1 billion over the cap. But since LBJ is so popular, that popularity might help balance out the books.
