So now the only notable free agents are Jabari Parker, Kelly Oubre (RFA), Faried, Jaymichael Green, Delon Wright (RFA), Tyus Jones (RFA), Thabo, Justin Holiday, and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson. Lowe said that besides OKC, Toronto will likely be a seller now too.
That wasnt the case early on. But it most certainly is now. Almost every competitive team got better, while we did nothing.
The Lakers, can’t offer Faried the minimum. He made $13.7 million last season. A $10 million pay cut would be criminal, contender or not. The $4.9 million mid-level exception would be enough.
What about RHJ? How he hasn't signed yet? I'm very surprised because the last time I paid attention to BKN, he was a very good up and coming young wing. And there are very few wings in the market available. Are there character problems?
Actually, everything I've heard is just the opposite - Russell called him the heart and soul of the team. He seemed to be a great team guy even at that young an age.
That's what I thought too. I don't know how it has come to this. For sure he is worth the Rockets giving him a look, imo.
Any chance we can swing Capela for a guy like Gallinari and other things? Grizz would have a nice Ja/Capela tandem and we'd have a wing scorer.
Gallinari is a decent scorer but he doesn't bring anything else. OKC doesn't need Capela, since they have the bigger Adams. I'm not sure why you are bringing up the Grizz here.
