Official 2018 NBA Offseason Thread: free agency starts 7/1 - Summer League action is here!

James’ decision causing moves already:





To come off the bench as a backup? (rhetorical question)

Odd moves.

I'm saying now they need to get Carmelo contract off the books so they can free up some extra cap space. They gonna need that extra space cause they are way over the luxury tax right now.

They need to keep Melo, coach gotta figure that shit out.
Melo ain't the problem...

Man Rondo was great for the Pelicans I don't get how they didn't bring him back

 

[Mask]

Oooh also with James signing and Rondo just signing

I can say bye bye IT

 

[Duece]

Damn that was essentially a trade

 

[Duece]

Kentucky alumni is to the Pelicans what LSU is the Patriots

 

[Amajorfucup]

Randle a Pelican.

Randle 9mill/2yr >>>> Boogie anywhere near max money

 

[KingTaharqa]

Randle 9mill/2yr >>>> Boogie anywhere near max money

I agree, but Id rather have Boogie if they can get him at a reasonable price.

Free agents aren't allowed to sign their new deals until the end of the July moratorium on Friday (July 6) at 11 a.m.

The Pelicans already had limited cap space coming into the summer, and they are expected to use some of their mid-level exception to sign New Orleans native Elfrid Payton after agreeing to a one-year, $2.7 million deal with him on Sunday, according to a source.
New Orleans has been negotiating with unrestricted free agent DeMarcus Cousins in hopes of bringing him back on a new deal, but the Randle agreement may be an earlier indicator that the team is looking to move on from the four-time All-Star.
It's been reported that Cousins plans on holding meetings with the Pelicans and the Lakers before making his final decision.

Randle was drafted by the Lakers with the No. 7 overall pick in the 2014 NBA Draft and played 238 games with Los Angeles, including 182 starts.

He didn't play so well last year though. And it's not like this is the same Carmelo from his Denver days either.

 

[dtownsfinest]

@dtownsfinest . Dummy.

Stone cold moron. He saved the Mavs ass too because we'd be crying knowing then what we know now.

 

[Mask]

AD home shopping in LA is over

 

[chrislee]

Oooh also with James signing and Rondo just signing

We were never bringing him back regardless.

 

[chrislee]

 

[dtownsfinest]

Yeah, but Dallas really fucked him

After he turned down that deal, they got petty and didn't even play him

Because he was ass and hurt. So they sit him to let him get healthy and this dude failed a drug test.

 

[dtownsfinest]

Damn I wanted him back. That's a good deal for the Blazers.

 

[dtownsfinest]

How the hell you got Lonzo and Rondo on the same team?

[Complex]

They did Randle wrong. At the beginning of the year he was coming off the bench and playing minimal minutes.

He seemed hurt and to take that personal.

Man Rondo was great for the Pelicans I don't get how they didn't bring him back

Smart move to get back in the market next year

 

[chrislee]

Hawks Vs Grizzlies Summer League first half hightlights

 

[Amajorfucup]

Geesus he has a ugly shot.

 

[BDR]

Yo Magic is Wilding the fuck out

 

[Complex]

and Cousins to Golden State

Hand them the title

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

Hi guys!!!!!

 

[dtownsfinest]

I don't even care about Cousins going to Golden State......as long as Durant, Curry, Draymon and Klay are there they are getting a title anyway so anyone is just adding to it. But Cousins a stupid muthafucka leaving all that money on the table. His value isn't about to go up in Golden State.

[IT IS WHAT IT IS]

Hi guys!!!!!

Dude Kerr stays upstaging folks on the humble... LeBron and Magic always have to be in the public eye, announcing their every move, Kerr, quietly put together the damn holy trinity...

Not fair man, LeBron must have made this move for after basketball purposes... His run to the finals is over...

 

[Amajorfucup]

@Mask @Duece @IT IS WHAT IT IS ... I said NO shoulda traded that fat bastard last year because of fit and contract demands.. .. Now he walks for free.

 

[datboi]

He didn't play so well last year though. And it's not like this is the same Carmelo from his Denver days either.

I'll take Melo on the Sixers at the MLE and make the Kawhi trade for a year rental dont give up more than two first. If you give up two first they must take back Bayless contract.
