2015 NBA Off-Season Thread

Unrestricted free agent LaMarcus Aldridge and Kobe Bryant "didn't quite gel" at their meeting.

 
LMA reportedly "didn't quite get answers from Kobe we was seeking." The Lakers have a lot of attractive parts of their franchise, but it's really going to be hard to convince free agents to sign there with Kobe's $25 million on the books this upcoming season.

their max is worth more though, i think?

Yeah had a brain fart lol.

Someone needs to leave a brief case with a recorder inside for these Kobe free agent meetings

 

[RipCity32]

I read he saw LA fitting into the team the same way Pau Gasol did heh. 

 

[elcheato]

Ruin a business meeting, yell out "KOBE!"

What I'm most upset about, is until we resolve the SF signing, solid C/PF guys are coming off the board.

Paul Pierce - F - Clippers


The Clippers have agreed to a three-year deal with Paul Pierce worth nearly $10.5 million.

 
It is going to be at the mini-mid level exception, which will help the Clippers to bring back DeAndre Jordan. The Clippers had some issues with their small forward last year and had to go small a lot, so this is a big move. Pierce is going to be 40 years old when this deal concludes, but the three years in this deal is just to help keep the cap number down.

Kyle Singler 5 years 25 million

The Thunder win the offseason

 

[elcheato]

10 mill per for Shumpert? WHAT

 

[CameronCrazy06]

The contracts going around are so ludicrous haha

 

[Pugz]

milsap staying on atlanta is huge.

im holding back on how the pierce deal looks because if they dont get dj back it's moot

totally. we're losing out on other needs and could end up losing out on both if this doesnt speed up

 

[elcheato]

Dan Gilbert spends exactly how I would with a lot of money. Recklessly
