Starting to think we'll get Kanter at a reasonable deal since there are so few teams with cap space now.
Only the Lakers or Blazers could possibly throw a max contract at him now.

By Branduil Go To PostI think a reasonable Kanter deal is one where he signs with another team.I have reservations about paying him too, but let's not pretend that he's Kwame Brown or anything.
He's seriously gifted on offense. Hopefully seeing how his defensive reputation has affected his market value will be sufficient motivation for him to not be a dumpster fire on that end.

10/10. Gondo took the bait
Also, Gondo. Kwame Brown (or rather his expiring deal) got us Pau. You wish Kanter was that useful
By psychintellect Go To PostLavine is gonna be good. Eventually.He will never play point guard in the NBA. Not on a team that isn't throwing away games. Absolutely zero feel for running an offense.
Not a point guard though, or at least not yet.
The best usage for LaVine is that he just takes catch and shoot jumpers and cuts to the basket. But I mean, he doesn't really deserve to see the floor over actually productive players like Shabazz, Wiggins and Martin.
You have to find ways to get him minutes because his offensive efficiency shows a lot of promise given circumstances
Levine supposed to hit Austin Rivers raw number, he far surpass that..
You can certainly see him hit his ceiling a la Jimmy Butler..
Jimmy is raw as shit on his first year (and sophomore)despite being senior pick, but he not straight up stink and only shot 27% when given minute. .
When Raw player give showing like that, they showed promise they can get it right, and I think Levine Rookie year show that kind of premise

Jimmy Butler's progression is not that common it happens every year. Schrempf took longer. Petrovic was always that good, he just wasn't given minutes. I can't think of a crazier 3 seasons span tbh.
All I want to say, dude's expected to be Austin Rivers 2.0, ended up having rookie season that comparable as Westbrook rookie year and already showed more range.. I see no reason to be so down on him.
I've acknowledged that LaVine has some positive shooting numbers, like his spot up and catch and shoot numbers. If they can maximize his effectiveness by just having him do things he good at, it might not be terrible. He's not much of a ball handler, though, and definitely can't run an offense.
Clarkson will never be Wiggins good, expecting the 46th pick to be the best player in the draft is an absurd fantasy.
But he was arguably the best guard in the draft, that's already a triumph.

With Marc Gasol and Ibaka skipping Eurobasket our second round stash pick Hernangomez is gonna make and play a large role for the Spanish team. Something to watch in September Knicks slaent.
thanks masud, also Kyle O'Quinn seems happy to be a Knick...

Kid's got a good head on his shoulders and a smart family looking out for him.
By SamuraiX- Go To PostParsons is amazing at telling fools exactly what they want to hear.
that pretty boy swag makes them want to believe him.
By Kuma Go To PostParsons recruiting game amazing
Most of his draft class hasn't even summer leagued yet.... plus its summer league
By SamuraiX- Go To PostParsons is amazing at telling fools exactly what they want to hear.He's not wrong. DJ has amazing athletic ability. With that said, he still can't create his own shot or post up very well, so he'll really struggle on offense without a great PG.
Even DJ is worried about AD and Towns sliding to the 5.
Only way DJ is even Top 3 Center in the league is if Marc, Booige, Dwight get hurt soon before the younger guys develop, he has like a 2-3 season window.

Do it Gilbert. Call Bron's bluff.

By Kuma Go To PostParsons recruiting game amazingI had always thought Cuban was behind that unmatchable contract Parsons got, but maybe it was Parsons recruiting himself. I suppose it doesn't look as ludicrous now as it did a season ago, and maybe part of the deal was for being Head of Recruitment. Props.
By K@do Go To PostDidn't Tristan accepted an $80m contract?
Nothing's set in stone til July 9th, I think Draymond getting paid got TT feeling some sort of way.
By psychintellect Go To PostDJ isn't even Whiteside good.
LOL
Hate to admit it, but psy's right on this one.
I'm not even sure if DJ is even Joakim Noah good.
Dude's gonna get completely exposed if they actually try to use him as an offensive option in Dallas.
For being a fringe 10/10 player?
I'd tell him to take a fucking hike.

Yea those 2 dozen games in 6 years where he decided playing basketball was more important than being an asshole were pretty good.
By db Go To PostRolo is gonna eat in the East. Jesus.Plus he's in a similar motion-type offense that will cater to his cutting/rolling skills. Also if he gets playing time with Grant... yikes. Grant is one of the Top PnR guards in the draft.
Euroleague star forward Nemanja Bjelica has agreed to a three-year, $11.7 million deal with the Minnesota Timberwolves, league sources told Yahoo Sports.That's a lot less than I expected.

ya know what, ill let yall have hope
Boogie has monster game vs DJ and the Clippers. This will be interesting locker room material for next year.
.....RoLo is gonna be too busy on D to exert himself to feast on offense take a peak at Tyson's numbers his last year in NY to his last season in Dallas.

Wouldnβt it be simpler to just have Chandler Parsons gaze into Linβs eyes & tell him to take less money? AK

He doesn't even need to feast on offense. He just needs to do what he already does, set picks and box out.
