Amare needs to go back to NY

To get into more fights with fire extinguishers? We'll pass.

This cannot be real

 

[bhzmafia14]

Really wanted us to land Gordon. WOuld've been a nice 6th man or nice beside Conley during stretches.

 

[everysingletime]

Knicks have no bench

Damn, Noah. You couldn't take a little less money?

So they can retroactively win the 2010 NBA title?

According to league sources, the Warriors have reached out to Clippers free agent guard Jamal Crawford and Memphis Grizzlies free agent forward Matt Barnes. But the likelihood of getting either appears slim. And they represent why the list of players the Warriors could get has dwindled significantly in this booming free agent market. Thanks to the huge contracts being doled out during this free agent period, the Warriors’ chances of landing underpaid talents to fill their roster isn’t looking to good.

In the past, over-the-cap teams with championship hopes would fill out their holes with good players willing to take less money in pursuit of a title shot. That’s what the Warriors are hoping for, their eye also on Pau Gasol. But those players would be passing up a lot more money this year.

The Warriors are unlikely to bring back Marreese Speights, Brandon Rush, James Michael McAdoo, Ian Clark and Anderson Varejao. All are unrestricted free agents who the Warriors don’t want back or are expected to get more years and money than what the Warriors are willing to commit.

There is a chance restricted free agent Festus Ezeli could get an offer the Warriors aren’t willing to match. Even Leandro Barbosa could priced out of the Warriors’ range, too.

There is a chance for trades. Andrew Bogut’s expiring $11 million contract, if the Warriors trade it, could garner a worthwhile return — if it’s not used to get Durant. It is likely the Warriors match any offer Harrison Barnes receives. But if Festus Ezeli is offered a contract too high, the Warriors might try to pull off a sign-and-trade– the yields from which could bolster their bench or get draft picks to be used in other trade.

Mentioned it during the season, itll be extremely interesting to sed how the warriors go about filling out their roster this summer

 

[everysingletime]

Wouldn't be surprised if some teams are just signing to screw other teams

The L's the Wariors are taking...bout to lose 5 players to #damarket and also lost Luke Walton

 

[oldhotdogwater]

Like everyone had said. Warriors got lucky

 

[bhzmafia14]

i love it

 

[shoeking2102]

you guys are shameless

 

[son nelly]

They'll still have their big 3 to build around once they lock up Curry next year. Klay and Draymond are set for a while.

 

[everysingletime]

I hope the rest of the nba signs the Warriors bench to mega deals

 

[bhzmafia14]

dat continuity

means a lot

Dudes learned from those bulls, lakers and celtics dynasties to do everything you can to ensure another one doesnt pop up.

What's the word on Beasley?

 

[art vandelay]

What's the word on Beasley?

If Houston was smart they'd bring him back.

 

[curtis50cent]

What's the word on Beasley?

Isn't he banned from the NBA like OJ Mayo?

 

[oldhotdogwater]

Beasley signed till the end of next yar

 

[everysingletime]

Jamal Crawford. Matt Barnes. Wonder where they going to end up.

*edit

Nate Rob dunked a tennis ball on a 12 foot hoop on instagram. Why no one in a hurry to sign him? I thought it might've been cuz he was washed athletically but he's clearly not

Watch Matt Barnes still get stuck with the minimum

 

[oldhotdogwater]

Watch Matt Barnes still get stuck with the minimum

I mean he is 36. I see Wizards getting him

 

[myselfonline]

Between Brandon Roy, Andre Miller, and Evan Turner, Portland just loves players with weird vocals.

 

[pmatic]

Watch Matt Barnes still get stuck with the minimum

Even if Barnes got a $10M yearly contract, he'll give it nearly all away with his fines and suspensions.
