    Wow! Meeks getting 6.3 per? The crazy season.

    So many teams are flush with cap room. What a time to be a free agent!

    I suspect SVG will slowly remodel that roster to be very similar to his Dwight-Magic days, just this time with Drummond. In that sense, Meeks is a decent get, though at a steep price. very steep for a guy with a 14.7 PER.

    Cartier Martin has pretty good range (career 38% 3PM). Jodie Meeks is a solid shooter; coming off 40% 3PM

    Factor in Andre Drummond and its no secret what SVG is trying to replicate in Detroit...

    shocked at the pay out given to Meeks - thought SVG would be smarter than that

    really starts to drive up the value of other free agents - i mean if Jodie Meeks got 6.3 - why should Parsons, Hayward, Lowry, Deng etc settle for 8-10?

    Coaches should coach. The whole "coach moonlighting as GM" thing is almost always a colossal failure.

    SVG overrated. Wade, Shaq, and Howard all didn't want him as a coach after knowing him as a coach.
