Man, basketball free agency is bats**t. Like 95 percent of the players signed aren’t worth half of what they received on the open market. For example, Jock Landale signed for $8 million annually. Before today, had you ever heard of Jock Landale??

Yes, he has a good season with Phoenix last year

Rockets continue with activity

KJ Martin traded to Clippers

Obi don't let the door hit you on your way out. So over rated.

PF was a real issue for Indy last year since Jalen Smith flopped (again.) Wouldn't be surprised to see Toppin do well with the opportunity there. Walker is still very raw.

Something I didn't realize about the new CBA is that it seems like there's a salary floor, so teams will have to spend big bucks to get there. Rather the players get that money instead of cheapskate owners like reinsdorf pocketing it

He should at least get some burn and with Hali being a willing passer he should get some nice lobs his way and he can also shoot the 3 

He's playing for a contract so he's going to be motivated

Donte DiVincenzo to the Knicks 4/$50M

I like him as a player and he basically replaces money they saved from Rose

[Captain Stud Muffin (BLM)]

Jeff Green to Rockets

When you win a chip it is hard to retain your bench and players

Rockets really making a push to be much better this year

Was a guy the Sixers fans wanted but Harden and Tobias trades can hopefully offset that on top of signing more talent in FA

76ers are stuck making any moves until they can move Harden and Tobias and know what team they will have coming into next season

Yeah, need to wait till those are done to evaluate on what else and who else they could get, especially to see the roster they have when those are done

[Gawk Rivers]

I now know who Orlando Robinson is because he is 22 years old fresh off of his rookie season and set to earn a veteran's minimum salary

How did he average 27.2 for the month of April 2022?

I looked up his game logs and saw this.

He had a couple of 30 point games in April when he got some burn to play 

I think him, IQ and Grimes had like a 30 point game when they were like 2 games left in the season

Revenue keeps growing (and that’s before the new media rights deal which will push it even higher), and there’s a salary floor which teams have to abide by, so between that and limited roster spots compared to leagues like the NFL and MLB, it’s going to make the salaries huge. We are not far off a player making $70-80m a year.

Alex Len signs one year deal to stay with Kings

[Captain Stud Muffin (BLM)]

Patty Mills will not be staying with Houston

He will be moved to an unannounced team as part of the Dillon Brooks sign and trade
