NBA rumors and hearsay

[Mexi]

Horford in Boston would be so awesome

 

[Pugz]

you guys have $34M in cap, and need to give $23M a year for Drummond. You dont have the cap

ersan cab be cut for $800k, and we dont need any cap for drummond.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

You don't need cap for Drummond, but he occupies cap space

ersan cab be cut for $800k, and we dont need any cap for drummond.

you do in a way

For 2K/FBB style, not really, but there is always a hypothetical that Drummond signs a contract early on and Horford doesn't

If Drummond signs a max offer (because QO), Detroit has 5-7 days to match. If Horford wants to wait until later in FA, you won't have the cap.

So yes, you can sign Horford and then Drummond. But you can't sign Drummond and then Horford

 

[CameronCrazy06]

And Drummond has a cap hold

 

[bosoxlover12]

But that's only about $4.4M, which isn't significant enough to not sign Horford on Day 1

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Just pointing it out

 

[Iceman]

Gee i wonder why

 
Yea, as soon as this guy is gone the Lakers may begin to start contending and bringing in elite players.  Obviously, the best thing for the Lakers is Kobe's retirement
 
It would be crazy for me to see KD and Westbrook in a Lakers uni (if it ever happened)

 

[Mexi]

Woj says the Warriors are "significant" favorites to sign Durant if he leaves

That's my biggest fear

Woj also says the Wizards, heat and rockets are possible

Clips want him too and would move Blake to do so

 

[buzzy]

I just don't see how you can join a (possibly) two time defending champion if you're Kevin Durant. There's absolutely nothing in it for you except immense pressure to not fuck anything up. I believe he's still at a point in his career where he wants to prove something on his own.
 
Heat? Nope. He doesn't wanna follow the path of LeBron. Wizards, maybe. But the whole hometown angle is way overrated. Rockets could make sense maybe for him on a personal level but I hope he sees that he has a better team around him in OKC.
 
My bet is still OKC.
 
Oh and Lakers? Please.

 

[Pugz]

the clippers want on the durant sweepstakes too and supposedly wont hesitate to deal blake for him

 

[Mexi]

Yeah KD's gonna leave Russell not for Curry/dray/klay, wall, harden but for old Chris Paul

 

[elcheato]

And here you are, thinking that he'll leave for Byron Scott and Roy Hibbert

 

[Mexi]

Haha
We all know byron is getting fired

And if he were to come to LA it would be in 2017 with Russell, not now

 

[buzzy]

Do players really have that big of a hard on for Los Angeles?

 

[elcheato]

Dwight Howard is a free agent soon, they should circle that wagon 

 

[Mexi]

Do players really have that big of a hard on for Los Angeles?

they all live here in the offseason

 

[elcheato]

and apparently have no desire to live there year round 

 

[Mexi]

Nobody has ever wanted to play with kobe

A team with no face and cap space will change it though

 

[elcheato]

Yea, might be able to get a Greg Monroe type to be that face.
