For now, LA resisting salary dumps on Mozgov or Deng needed to clear future space. Teams trying to snag pick/young player to absorb deals.

Can they sign CP3 with out renouncing Gasol's cap hold?

Nope and they need to let all their FA's to walk

[dennistrane]

his salary is still on the books in the form of a cap hold. They would have to renounce him completely or sign him for pennies.

I could see him taking the Vet min if they can get CP3

Cool. Now they just need to convince cp/George hill/Lowry and the rest of their own free agents to do the same thing

For the Spurs, this is a way to get salary cap relief on the 2017-18 roster. Gasol will return on a smaller annual salary.

 

[hardens beard]

Seems like this move is all about retaining Simmons

BREAKING: @OrlandoMagic signs Disney to jersey patch deal for next season, team will sell jerseys with patch at arena.

 

[dipsetgeneral]

Daniel Ainge made the right move. There is no transcendent - superstar player in the '17 Draft. Markelle or Lonzo aren't gonna' start in Boston, and Avery and Isiah are the heart and soul of New England so, we'll just pick up Josh Jackson or De'Aaron or Jason Tatum at no.3 and just have young rotational players help fill in. Boston doesn't really need anymore guards or forwards. WE NEED A BIG MAN WHO CAN GRAB BOARDS AND PROTECT THE RIM!!!!! We have little to know post presence. If we could somehow get the big man Jurkic in Denver or the big man in Portland Nurkic, Boston would go 7 games with Cleveland. Easy. I don't think here are any even decent big men in this '17 Draft. Smh

I honestly appreciate Paul George for letting Indiana know that he's just playing out his contract for this year and taking his talents else where in Summer '18. It's the most appreaciative move so they can shop for a replacement sooner than later but at the same time it's kinda' of rude cause the fans will be booing him overtime he touches the rock in the Fieldhouse, this upcoming season.

He's definitely a top 10 player in the world and i would respect him if he choose the Lakers, and be the no.1 option in California for a rebuilding franchise but i don't see the Lakers making the postseason for the next 4-5 years. Maybe even longer. EVEN with Paul George. If YG Trece wants to win now, he should go to New England and be a 1.B option with Isaiah and overcome the Cavs in a hard fought 7 games.

Oh and as a footnote... Philadelphia is gonna' be scary in about 5-6 years. . Looks like Philadelphia and Minnesota are headed for a collision for the Finals in the next era!

Now that is how you do a logo patch, its barley noticeable

What's the difference between the Sacramento Kings and the Cleveland Cavaliers?

LeBron James. He's the ultimate blemish remover.
