    Cant wait for the C's to sign some 3rd tier FA's.

    My guess is Kosta Koufos, Robin Lopez or Omer Asik will be our starting center next year and Al-Foroq Aminu will be the other guy we grab.

    Its sad when teams who won 17 and 21 games last year are two of the most talked about teams in terms of landing top FA's. Must be nice...

    That deal will look great in years 2, 3, and 4.
    Also Anthony Davis signed a 5 year extension for 145 million. :clap:My boy taking advantage of the Derrick Rose Rule.

    Kawhi Leonard signed a 5 year max extension for 90 million which will be an absolute steal when the cap increases.

    Jimmy Butler has postponed meetings with other teams while he tries to work out a deal with CHI. Hearing he would be more inclined to sign the 5 year deal if the 5th year was a player option. Gar/Pax better make that happen.

    The Kings are attempting to get a meeting with Rondo. He seems like he wants to sign a 1 year deal so that he can reestablish his value and get a better contract next year. He and Boogie would be an interesting pairing to say the least.

    Brook Lopez agreed to a 3 year, 60 million deal with the Nets, and they also locked up Thad Young for 4 years 50 million.

    Free Agency >>>>>>>>>>

    EDIT: MIA and Dragic have come to terms on a 5 year, 90 million contract. 5th year will be a player option.

    Bulls are closing in on a deal with Mike Dunleavy worth 15 million over 3 years.

    Blazers are finalizing an extension with Lillard for 5 years 120 million. If Lillard makes the all NBA team this year, he would have been eligible for the super max that Anthony Davis got.

    Khris Middleton signing for 70 million is crazy. NBA contracts are about to get stupid. AD's contract is crazy, but just imagine how much money Lebron and Durant are worth.

    Paul Milsap got offered a 4-yr 80 million deal by the magic. He's worth the money but I'm not sure how he fits with the Magic.

    All these free agents signing away and Knicks are left with nothing. Our "big" free agent is going to be Greg Monroe. Smh

    Idk why they wouldn't just try to resign Tobias. He's much younger and definitely won't cost them 20 million a year.

    I like both of those guys, but we will remember Wade as an all time great player, and Melo will just be another talented guy who couldn't get it done.

    Splitter just got traded to ATL. Spurs have resigned Danny Green for 4 years 45 million. Walking into their meeting with Aldridge right now with room to offer him the max. Don't see anyway that he doesn't end up signing with SA. 2016 champs.

    Edit: How can he turn down the chance to win a title next season, with max money, surrounded by HOFs, and the chance to play with Kawhi for the next 5 years for the most well run organization in the NBA?

    The Knicks won 17 games last season, and have won 1 playoff series in 15 years. Be happy Monroe or anyone wants to go there.

    Celtics won 40 games and i would love if Monroe came here.

    Yeah I'm sure he'll get a decent offer, the Celtics need to start making some other moves though, you have way too many guards. I always thought that they had the best package for Cousins with the combination of players/picks.
