Buyout Market

Brian Lewis: Ben Simmons’ agent Bernie Lee on buyout status: “I just saw some of the other reporting. (I) want to be really clear Ben hasn’t met with anyone nor is he. We are having conversations with the Nets and when there is something to be said we will let everyone know.” #nets #nba

Spurs waive Patrick Baldwin Jr.

I’m wondering if we just sign the Jones brothers and call it good. Mason can shoot and knows the system. Won’t get in the way of Carter

Wrong Jones.

I’m saying we sign both Mason and Isaac. I’m open to someone else. We might have a bit of a tough time since we are fringe playoff contenders


Unless you are saying grab Bones. Haven’t watched him play lately

Does anyone here believe Bones is better than what we currently have at backup PG

Yeah I was implyimg Jones. His defense is great but he would block time for Keon and Devin.

I was just joking.

The issue is we need to get to 14 rostered players so someone has to be added. Not sure what else is out there that could help us

I'd take Bones or Reggie Jackson over Mason Jones.

I’m available as a 14th hype guy

Are we having a Coach Carter moment in here?

“We’re a team right. One person struggles we all struggle. One person triumphs we all triumph”

Bones reminds me of Terrance Davis in terms of his ability to get hot out of nowhere. I remember him being super immature so hopefully he’s grown by now but idk

Well, so much for that. Nice that he'll be joining our division.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Make sense for that team. They have a real chance to make the finals

 

[sactowndog]

Clearing waivers?

Doesn’t that mean the Kings could’ve claimed him?

or is that another thing that goes without saying that you cannot do lest it angers an agent?

Then we have to pay his salary and @Capt. Factorial can confirm but I don’t think we can afford it.

But currently we only have 12 active contracts so we have to do something.

Oh lol, that’s right. I knew that but somehow didn’t even consider it because I’m bummed we’ll end up with at best Reggie Jackson..if that

I’ll delete that to spare future corrections

 

[macadocious]

I’ll jump ff a cliff if we have Reggie jackson AND Zach Lavine sharing the back court.

 

[Jdbraver137]

Let’s sign IT, just for his enthusiasm and locker room presence

He played 90 games in 3 seasons.

I mean I don't have to look, but his salary was like $40M. I would bet that literally no team could legally have claimed him off of waivers.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

I queried about Bones Hyland and was told he'd never sign here and beggars can't be choosers.

Am I wrong that Bones is in the beggar shoes right now?

We apparently passed on Bones to get Meat instead.

So what you're saying is Bones would habe Nixed it?

 

[joemama]

Spurs signed the Sis(so)ko kid.

 

[iowamcnabb]

I wonder if that was the plan all along
