Free Agency Thread - 2018

[steelevt]

It’s weird that we have no info yet on any possible targets. Everything else has been opinion by other sources

I kinda feel in the recent past a lot of our fa signings came out of no where. I wasn't expecting Tolliver temple hill or Carter if I remember correctly.

Wonder if we are waiting to observe a bit then go after RFA's or trades.

The Knicks have an offer on the table for 6-foot-8 Orlando swingman Mario Hezonja for a portion of the $8.6 million, midlevel exception on a one-year deal, according to an NBA source.

Top Rumors, Free Agency, Mario Hezonja, New York Knicks, Orlando Magic

We need to keep tyreke away from the warriors

At this point he's the best FA 1-3

"Portion" just like i said.
They need to split it

Free agent Glenn Robinson III is finalizing a deal with the Detroit Pistons, league sources tell Yahoo.

Free agent Glenn Robinson III has agreed to a two-year, $4 million deal with the Pistons with a team option on the second year, a source told @TheUndefeated

Well time to put up or shut up Vlade on Mario

Maybe he doesn't want him that bad

Can confirm the @Marc J. Spears report that Brandon Jennings' contract guarantee date is now Aug. 1.

So delayed guarantee so they can use $ to match Jabari

Wow, nice steal for the Pistons. GRIII has a really solid skill-set, would rather bet on him than a lot of the wings that were more expensive that signed yesterday

 

[swisshh]

That's pretty cheap for Robinson. GR3 gone, Harris gone, Barton gone and McDermott gone. Feels like Kings are focused on Hezonja and still might lose out.

Hezonja and knicks have mutual interest

 

[206Fan]

We should've went after GR3.

Clippers meeting w kcp

Capela-Bron is an insanely nice off-season for them

Ball
Ingram
Bron
Kuzma
Capela

That's damn, damn good if the young guys hit.

If Peja can’t convince Hezonja to come to the Kings over that he should be fired

The Rockets are not letting Capella walk. No way. Their new owner is willing to spend. They just saved too by not retaining Ariza.

The Sixers are trying to trade for Kawhi and possibly sign LeBron.

I would love to see the Lakers strike out in free agency. Houston matching on Capela, Boogie back to the Pelicans etc.

 

[Joshoua]

I would be very disappointed if we traded buddy or Bogi I order to get lavine. We need to focus on the SF and not try and get cute

I’ll tell you what trading buddy or Bogdan to sign that clown Lavine might be my final straw

Then kawhi agrees to sign w/sixers

Sean Highkin @highkin
The Lakers are reluctant to make their best offer to the Spurs and coincidentally Kawhi is now suddenly willing to consider re-signing with the Sixers. Everything is leverage on all sides

 

[Kingsfan23]

As a NBA fan I’d rather Lebron on the Sixers, to see a balanced finals and conferences

That’s going to be some insane attempt to distribute usage though

 

[Kingsfan23]

They are at the tax now with several roster spots to fill, they will IMO if the price is high

I’ve still yet to see anything substantive that we are considering him. The Bulls writer or Jones parroting it

The fact that this is being reported in the media with no printable Kings interest that his agent would surely use means there is probably no interest

 

[joemama]

Paul Garcia @PaulGarciaNBA
Salah Mejri has re-signed with the Mavs per his agency.

Alex Kennedy @AlexKennedyNBA
I'm told that Jabari Parker, who was born and raised in Chicago, has received interest from the Chicago Bulls. The 23-year-old is a restricted free agent, so the Milwaukee Bucks can match any offer sheet he signs

 

[joemama]

Chris Haynes @ChrisBHaynes
Minnesota courting free agent Dante Cunningham, league sources tell ESPN. The veteran forward weighing his options.

 

[Kingsfan23]

The fact that the Spurs are coming to terms with Gay and Belinelli that quick probably means Anderson really isn’t a priority

 

[Entity]

I guess we are sitting on hands waiting o. The lebron kawhi fallout. See if we can get good player in order for somebody to shed salary. They are both sf so whoever gets them might be willing to trade a sf.

 

[SacTownKid]

They can wait on him because they have the right to match. They'll wait until he comes back to them with an offer they either find alright or they think is beyond his pay grade.

I hope they opt not to take whatever is left on the table just because it's there. That's how you end up with Iman Shumpert weighing down your cap for another year. I figure getting half way out of the mistake of signing George Hill is better than nothing but that space would be a nice thing to have right about now.
