By P-SY Go To PostGerald Green to Boston. Really surprised that he got a guaranteed deal after his last couple years. Figured he'd be in China.
He is coming back home I guess. I rather have Lance Stephenson. This signing might signal the end of James Young in Boston. Interested to see Brad Stevens maximize Green potential. I see him as a nice back up to Avery Bradley
By Kuma Go To PostI rather have Lance Stephenson.Really tho?
By Kuma Go To PostYea I think Lance would been solid in Boston.they need more wings that can't shoot eh?

nik stauskas the type of nigga that make you quit scouting
I don't really understand how he ever became a thing. If you watched him at Michigan it was obvious he was nothing special. That was his level.
By domino Go To PostI don't really understand how he ever became a thing. If you watched him at Michigan it was obvious he was nothing special. That was his level.He had a decent So. run tho...
I could see how some people might have seen a usable wing in him
He had a shooting stroke, some ok handles, and good athleticism.
Once he got to the NBA, his confidence vanished and never came back.
Once he got to the NBA, his confidence vanished and never came back.
Since the Kings have seen a lot of shooters fail to shoot at the NBA level, I don't think its lack of shot practice. The common problem seems to be learning how to get their shot off at the NBA level, which they struggle with against NBA size and athleticism. This kills their confidence and soon they start missing the wide open shots as well. You almost need JR Smith like confidence to transfer over to the NBA. Simply not give a fuck and be able to launch your shot off. Devin Booker will shoot from the logo. He doesn't care.

By blackace Go To PostI mean that says more about the Kings than kids being used to the NBA doesn't it?
Except Kevin Martin developed into a shooter with the fugliest form ever. It's not like guys went on elsewhere to become something. All the former Kings talent outside of IT have been awful for new teams.
Actually, Casspi is an exception, but he also shot better for his rookie Kings year than was expected. Struggled a bit in Cleveland. Did well in Houston.
im still amazed that no one has picked up Dion yet.
GMs probably saying to themselves "look at those dleaguers Bron carried pre-Miami but even he wanted nothing to do with Dion"

By Rob Go To Postim still amazed that no one has picked up Dion yet.Teams want to pay him what he's worth, he wants them to pay him what he thinks he's worth.
By Kuma Go To PostDion thinks he better than he is.Most players do. Dion just sucks.
By Face it Tiger.. Go To PostI see ya'll hating on waiters, but he did pretty great during the playoffs.That's the trap.
He had a horrendously bad regular season.
But had a good post - season.
History seems to say that the post season was the outlier, not the regular season.
How long do teams have to sign their rookies? I am getting nervous since the Cs haven't signed Jaylen Brown.
By Forever Go To PostThere is no trap, everyone knows what he is.
It's a trap. Guys have been getting paid off of good post-seasons regularly.
By Kuma Go To PostHow long do teams have to sign their rookies? I am getting nervous since the Cs haven't signed Jaylen Brown.Till the season i take it? Don't think there's a real dead line than season start.
Lakers haven't signed theirs yet either i believe.
White Chocolate with some....interesting interview answers.
Q: With Ben Simmons being here, how do you feel his passing skills relate to yours?
Jason Williams: I’m not one to compare man. I got a Championship, that’s all I’m going to say. Good luck with the Sixers getting a Championship.
Q: Did The Tournament live up to your expectations?
Jason Williams: Man it definitely lived up to my expectations. Anytime I can play basketball like I said earlier is great. And to put $2 million on the line too, that’s just icing on the cake…I mean I would rather just win the tournament than get the $2 million. I’m playing for the win. The $2 million is just coming along with it.
Q: Jason, being in Kevin Durant’s shoes would you’ve gone to the Golden State Warriors too?
Jason Williams: Ah man, you can’t put me on Kevin Durant’s level first and foremost. If I was Kevin Durant and that’s what I wanted to do, then that’s what I would’ve done. I wouldn’t have made a decision based on anybody else. Because it seems like he’s done that for 8 or 9 years now. You know you’ve gotta take care of yourself and make yourself happy at the end of the day. I mean all these guys [Charles] Barkley and them talking about oh they wouldn’t have done it, well they was never free agents back in the day…like they didn’t have the choice. Nobody wanted his ass [Barkley] on their team because he was a loser. So that’s what I think about that.
Q: Jason, do you hope to get back into the NBA or College basketball at any capacity anytime soon, as far as like coaching?
Jason Williams: You know man, I’m one irresponsible 40-year old. So coaching is out the window…no way. You know I could maybe be an assistant somewhere. But if I’ve got a responsibility to be somewhere at like 3 o’clock tomorrow for practice and someone calls me to go to Augusta and play golf, I’m going to go play golf. So I can’t have that responsibility. So no. But as an assistant, I’ll be there to help. It might be Tuesdays and Thursdays but other than that, I’m good.
mostly true.. I loved watching him play in his prime... It was like watching a Jason Kidd or Magic who just didn't give a fuck..
Seriously Williams was like the top 3 or 4 greatest passer I have ever seen.

By diehard Go To PostBarkley was never a free agent? huh?
By diehard Go To PostBarkley was never a free agent? huh?I think he means he never left as one, but tbh I can't remember, didn't he ask for the trades he was a part of in 92 and 96?
Anyway that comment is dumb, Williams is nowhere close to being the kind of winner Barkley was.

On a conference call with media, Langston Galloway said family cried when the Baton Rouge native told them he'd be playing closer to home.

Whoops, I forgot to put some respect on his name.
Two-time Champion Norris Cole is somewhere out there.

It's funny cause Jason Williams played like trash in the playoffs the year Miam chipped with him in the roster.
RT @WojVerticalNBA Portland guard CJ McCollum has reached agreement on a four-year, $106M maximum contract extension, league sources tell @TheVertical.
Good for the Blazers. Olshey has some work to do because thats put them at around a ridiculous $133 million to their current roster in 17-18.
By reilo Go To PostThat's $22mil less than what Bradley Beal got.CJ got more per year
He does. But they're never gonna be a FA destination, so no point in futzing around and let this contract extension loom throughout the season or into next summer.
