If the Timberwolves don't reach an extension with Ricky Rubio tonight, he'll become a restricted FA at the end of this season.

Quotes from coach/GM/part-owner Flip Saunders just a few minutes ago on KFAN Sports Radio 100.3 in Minneapolis/St. Paul:

“Conversations are still ongoing, so that’s a good sign.”

“There’s always some things at the end that can pretty much go either way. So it’s always optimistic when you’re still talking … we’ll see where it goes.”

“You’re looking to put together a team, so sometimes you have to do things not just based on somebody’s feelings.”

On whether he thinks this is going to go to the wire:

“Well right now, it’s 5 o’clock, we’ve been going since July 1. I think this is a wire-to-wire finish.”

So if Burks got 4/$42mil and Klay gof 4/$70mil, maybe Butler's 4/$48mil isn't as crazy as we thought.

Archie throwing the water jug at Baby T.

That's exactly what I would've done; throw whatever I have in my hand at it.

 

[antidope]

Congrats to Klay he deserves it.

 

[awwsome]

doesnt work like that. max salaries are based on tenure.

Man what?


Wall got 80 right out his rookie deal, what are you talking about?


PG too.

Some KD stuff:

Warriors:

 

[lawdog1]

No surprise with that tweet about Draymond. I been saying there's no way GSW can keep everyone they have now.

 

[rck3sactown]

@ not wanting to give up Rudy Gay

would you really want to begin trade talks starting with Rudy Gay?

GS would hang up on the Kings with quickness

If Steph got what he deserved they'd have to lose some combination of Lee/Iggy/Draymond.

Clearly some of you missed this gem

"Do I think I'm All-Defense? Absolutely. I think I'm the best two-way 2-guard in the NBA," Wesley Matthews told Erik Gundersen of The Columbian. "But I feel like we need to be a good defensive team within the scheme of the game. We're not out there gambling, trying to reach and get steals. That would put us in a bind if I don't get it."

 

[rck3sactown]

pissin' in the wind 

The Kings, just peeing all over themselves 

Safe to say there was no traction in Kings/Warriors talks about Klay Thompson. Scratch that. Less than none. Sac def sees him as max player.

@JesseColton Pissin' in the wind, as I was so eloquently told.

Win or lose that series, Lebron leaves regardless. I think winning a 3-peat would give him more reason to leave since he would have nothing left to prove in MIA

except a .....4-peat haha

 

[bravelude]

lol at people playing their hands

 

[lawdog1]

Maybe not that quick. They'd probably take at least a minute to have a nice laugh at the proposal.

Srs Question: Will OKC make the playoffs this year?

 

[Bert.]

because they already have a depleted roster full of bums, who else is decent on that team other than melo nd timmy?

well the "depleted roster full of bums" were good enough to ruin the queens homecoming so....

and its called free agency? the knicks will probably have the 2nd most cap space this offseason.

and Lakers won two championships will constantly losing to the bobcats in the regular season

what exactly is ur point?

Let's revisit this question in like 2 or 3 weeks so we can see what kind of record the OKC backup squad is putting together. 

 

[MVP]

If they're anywhere close to .500 I think they get in easily provided KD and Russ are back before XMAS.

And the Sixers beat the Heat on opening night last season. One game doesn't mean a whole lot.

MCW basically locked up ROY vs Miami tho

 

[onewearz]

i could listen to Jalen Rose all day as opposed to Barkley ...

LOL. It's true. It was his to lose after than game.

Neither one has a very good grasp of the English language, but I'll take Barkley because he's much less corny.
