    Kyrie Irving’s three-year deal is guaranteed for $120 million, sources tell ESPN. He has $6M in incentives tied to games played and team success.
    Even if he never play he will get his 40 million a year,not bad :ADORLY2:

    Sign Biyombo ASAP!

    I’ve been on the Christian Wood train, but if Biyombo is actually available and willing to sign, but you hold off to wait on Wood, that would be a MASSIVE mistake

    Mills is a good get for them or wherever he sticks. Gay definitely getting bought out now.

    So, OKC didn’t ACTUALLY want Patty Mills and Atlanta didn’t ACTUALLY want Rudy Gay?

    You should know by now that OKC doesn't ACTUALLY want any players. They just want all the draft picks. :Fishwink:

    Sure … he would be perfect but why would Phoenix not keep him?

    Oh wow did not realize he was only 6’8”. But he’s a strong 255lbs with a 7’6” wingspan and good at protecting the rim.

    I thought Wemby looked like he was purposely taking it easy by not fighting for rebounds and just staying on the perimeter. Despite that, he got 5 blocks.

    Will be interesting to see how much he develops during the next NBA season.

    Really hitching himself to that wagon. Wild, considering we've been thinking he's retiring for the past couple years.

    going to definitely be interesting to watch this play out. I need to see it to really judge it. Big thing is buy in from the players and how seriously they take it.

    I’m sorry, he ain’t “the winningest NBA coach of all time.”
    Last time I checked Phil has ELEVEN Titles. Pop may have more regular season wins, but that’s not what the All Time Greats play for.

    crazy that a 5-time all-star can even get a min contract at 32, the NBA really is ruthless.

    but also a testament to how some franchises give the keys to the franchise to wildly inefficient scorers like Wall meaning as soon as their level of athleticism falls, they are seen as useless in the league.
