Free Agency

[NewArena]

It’s too quiet now on the Bogi front. We must be working on some kind of trade or maybe even a curveball reconciliation of some kind? Idk.

Jeremi Grant got 20M a year.

Jeremi Grant got 20M a year.

From a team that already signed 7 other big man. NY Knicks 2020 because it worked out so well for them!

No Detroit

Harris 4 year 75M

No Detroit

I know, Detroit is following NY’s bold strategy of last offseason by signing every big under the sun.

 

[sactowndog]

Bertrans 5-80

All these huge contracts being thrown at shooters is only making Buddy’s contract all the more valuable/tradable.

 

[sactowndog]

Most around 15-20 a year. Buddy over 20 though

my guess is no one wants to throw money at an RFA tonight. This is an auction on players available and signing Bogi to an offer sheet means they can’t be signing players they are *sure* to get.

It will be interesting when done how many of Vlade’s 1st Round picks without a team

Remember when you could get a really good player for a 4.5-5.5 MLE?

We should have done this deal

With Bogdan the only other team ever even brought up was Atlanta. And not coincidentally that news came from Atlanta, it had too. They were like ah shucks, we were gonna drop a huge deal on him too! I'm guessing sign and trade scenarios are running between the Kings and Hawks right now. Hopefully the Whiteside thing was just put out there to scare the Hawks into thinking they'd be crazy enough to match.

Na, it would have given Bagley nightmares.

Amazing off-season for Portland. Djj and roco are dynamite fitz to plug their exact weakness on the wing.

Big miss here for the kings, would have fit the core well

Portland getting Jones and Covington will be tough next year

This whole thing is weird too. The only reason the NBA is starting so quick in a CBA year is because the networks were pissed they gave the NBA that kind of money even before the pandemic. LOL. I guess it really doesn't matter anyway.

they just blew half their cap space on Gallinari - focusing on Bogi would be the smart thing right now but doesn’t seem like they’re in the mood to do smart things

my current guess is Bogi ends up signing the QA and hoping for something better next year

 

[SacTownKid]

Yep, but they're tough every year. We'll see if shuffling role players does the trick this go around.

Not much is gonna change for them until they change their head coach

 

[sactowndog]

Lakers signed Harrell. Could we see a sign and trade there with Bogdan?

The Kings should mess with him and rescind it if Atlanta walks. haha. I'm sure the 3 parties are talking right now.

Ah yes, the notoriously deep 2021 free agency class. Bogi completely screwed himself

 

[SacTownKid]

Doubt it. I think they've moved on or they were quickly rebuffed when they asked if he'd sign for the MLE. They already got Wes Mathews in his place I think.

 

[Tetsujin]

Why? If I’m the Lakers, I much prefer Harrell on a bargain two year deal over Bogi at 18+ over 4.

Eh, maybe. I'm not a huge fan of Dame and CJ myself. Not as a tandem at least. Who knows though, role players and a different approach could mean a lot.

Amick Bomb?

 

[SacTownKid]

Sounds more like what was being hinted here. Certainly makes Buddy's deal less atrocious. As for the trade market, it's a different beast. These are players returning to their franchises. Same reason Buddy got his money to begin with.

 

[sactowndog]

Trade Buddy sign Bogi?
