It’s what he did last year

Monte went bargain basement hunting last year and came out with a box full of dust. Will this be a repeat?

Goran Dragic’s first choice would to be re-routed to Dallas, I’m told.

Metu, Jones, Wright, Davis. McNair value hunting has turned out pretty solid so far I'd say.

Porzingis
Powell
THJ
Luka
Dragic

Watch out 5th seed, Dallas is on its way!

Cap space dried up quickly today, but the Knicks and Spurs can both still go big money for Evan Fournier.

Pelicans could possibly do it too, pending the way they structure their offseason.

And a S&T could always be in play too.

Really, I see a missed 10th seed and a team full of PG's. haha. And Davis/Wright were trades. Whiteside was his big haul.

Issa whole lotta money on this mf 🤑

Restricted free agent Jarrett Allen has agreed to a five-year, $100 million deal to re-sign with the Cleveland Cavaliers, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium.

Good lord, he's getting CP3 money

So? Value hunting is value hunting, doesn't matter how you do it. I don't care that we didn't keep a single FA signing from last year. They were all buy-lows and we committed nothing to them. Just as basically everything McNair has done so far.

With a hole on the wing right now and available targets, I think he has good reason to actually get in the deeper side of the pool this year.

Warriors: select a bunch of raw prospects with high draft picks over the last two drafts


Also the Warriors: locked in salary cap hell

So much for them being “lightyears ahead”

Argh, that could actually be valuable to them.

I just think this is a massive overpay for an injury prone player

I'd dig for THT S&T too, but I'd gladly accept this. Would still leave the MLE open. I like Hart a lot, he does a lot of things well the Kings suck at.

Buddy to Lakers
Schroeder and Marvin to Pels
Ingram to Kings

Works for me

It will be interesting to see how it plays out. They have a ton of interesting young talent but they might be buried depending how they play them. Either way, they could have a very enticing package of Wiseman/Kuminga if these run it back teams look to run the other way at the deadline.

So far we have not signed a bad contract!

Good job doing nothing Monte!

Best off season so far.

Also haven't heard anything about TD getting white hot interest. That's good too.

Plenty of time still. Hasn't been a signing I "wish" we were in on yet and my entire top FA list is still available. The only real value I've seen is the Cam Payne deal while everyone is either an overpay or like right at market value.

THT
Vanderbilt
Hart
Winslow
Porter

Ink one of the above 5 and Holmes/Davis and I'm happy.

Duncan Robinson contract is unbelievable.

Just call Dallas TitleTown now

https://twitter.com/x/status/1422332531446321157

Dallas really going to waste Luka worse than we would have somehow

Hart doesn't fit the bill IMO. THT would be a tremendous gamble with upside. Vanderbilt would be a great upside gamble if not overpaid. Porter,Winslow those are gambles the other way right now. If it's your only move it could just as easily blow up in their face. Better than Whiteside last year since they do play valued positions.
