    Literally the second we hear DeRozan is signing back with Toronto we need to call Biyombo and offer a ton of money.

    Agreed. Either way, I just have a weird feeling about these negotiations with DD and the Raps.

    Sure that's reasonable. But Horford never struck me as a guy who "needs" a ring a la Durant, Melo, CP3 to cement his legacy. He's a notch or two below those guys and a nice pay day and Los Angeles living could entice him.

    I've never followed Horford...maybe he's really driven to win a ring? But never enough to leave ATL. And he's supposedly a good locker room presence, maybe he wants to take a leadership role with the youngins. Plus what budenholzer is running down there's similar to what Luke will run.

    Well didn't seem to hamper them two championships. Did put the handwriting on the wall though for Jerry West to know it was time to leave, if that's what you mean.

    Evan Turner
    6'7 SF/SG
    28 years old
    Projected FG%: 44%
    Projected 3pt%: 27%
    Projected FT%: 80%
    Projected PTS+AST+REB: 20.5
    Potency (pts+ast+reb/36): 25.9
    Projected Offensive Impact: -1.8
    Projected Defensive Impact: 0.7
    Projected Value over Replacement: 0.3
    Verdict: If Turner had a three-point shot, I'd max him and not feel bad about it in this climate. With his current skills, he's a borderline starter with a solid all-around game. He can shoot all the way out the to arc; it's just shots beyond the arc he can't hit. We could do worse.

    Tyler Zeller
    7' C
    26 years old
    Projected FG%: 51%
    Projected 3pt%: 0%
    Projected FT%: 77%
    Projected PTS+AST+REB: 11.6
    Potency (pts+ast+reb/36): 27.9
    Projected Offensive Impact: -2.0
    Projected Defensive Impact: -0.4
    Projected Value over Replacement: 0.1
    Verdict: Zeller has a respectable shot for a big. He's a decent rebounder, but he's not great for a 7 footer. He isn't terrible on defense. He's a bit of a black hole, not passing well, not taking care of the ball, and he struggled coming off the bench last season. If he's mentally prepared for the bench role, he's a good backup. He's not starting material.

    Anyone else?

    How about Bazemore, Deng, and Affalo?

    A show with Woj, Mannix, and some Nets former executive. It's about free agency.

    Same thing they did during the Draft. They're doing their own show and are competing with other networks. Except this show has the sources god in Wojo.

    Do the Knicks really think they can convince Durant to come New York? They're delusional. Why in God's name would Durant leave Russell Westbrook, and a stacked overall roster to play with Porzigis and an over the hill Rose and Melo?
