2021 Free Agency Mega Thread

[jiimbob]

thanks for the replies on Holmes situation.
I realise centers values are down and that Holmes has limitations, but seeing some early FA paydays I would think héd at least get an offer somewhere between what he wants and what we can pay him.
This could be a drawn out process.

Oubre come get your MLE

I think the Holmes emojis could also be interpreted as time is running out for the Kings to make a deal….no?

I guess Tucker really wanted to be in Miami, because the Bucks could/should have beaten that offer easily.

Could mean any one of the things people have suggested.

That's what's so great about passive aggressiveness. Keeps you on your toes.

Yeah, with the Warriors drafting two players that play Oubre’s position, I’d like to think Sac would be sounding good to him right about now.

That Buddy contract is looking solid. I think people hated way too much on it, but he probably did help set the shooting market.

The Pistons gave CoJo a player option for some reason

What deleted tweet?

 

[dude12]

So what is the deal with John Collins?

So what is the deal with John Collins?

Restricted FA take longer. They have to see who has money still. Nobody wants to tie up money with unrestricted available.

It's a weird issue with twitter. Holmes' tweet is still there.

 

[NewArena]

Free agent guard Cory Joseph and the Detroit Pistons have reached an agreement on a two-year, $10 million deal, CEO of @KlutchSports’ @RichPaul4 tells @YahooSports.

Get paid, COJO!

Thank God!

he’s gonna have to concede. Oh well good for us

Or he’s wanted to be here the entire time and barely entertained anyone else. People will be surprised but i think Holmes freakin loves it here

 

[iowamcnabb]

Tinker, at this point all we can ask for is a versatile wing and Jr. Uh Oh. Get it done!

And the name is Ioannis Papapetrou.
San Antonio Spurs and Sacramento Kings in the NBA express interest on him. They like a lot the player and start talking about the NBA opportunity with his agency.#EuroLeague #Panathinaikos #paobc #transfers #Παναθηναϊκός #athens #nba #basket https://t.co/lYqkUZxZD2

One thing it for sure shows is that he wants the $$$. Can't blame him. Unless he's already agreed to the Kings deal but they are waiting for something else.

I saw fans speculating about it being him but it was usually followed with a "meh" vibe or a laugh.

That’s a funny way to spell George Papagiannis.

No idea who this is but it's probably more exciting than the inevitable Jared Dudley type signing we're probably going to get slapped with.

So who has money left? Someone should be able to take advantage of really good value with a few of these names.

Damian Lillard to the Raptors?! @Jake Fischer says that Toronto is trying to make a deal for Lillard. We are discussing that now: pscp.tv/w/c9c_bzM1Njk3…

I wouldn't be surprised if this one of those Euro lifers trying to get a little extra moolah out of his team over there, than trying to come over here.
