[2016] July 1st Free Agency Thread

Would like this a lot.

Rockets actually acquiring shooters? I'm confused.

 

Fournier's qualifying offer from the Magic would be a minimum of $3,278,996 .....


I like his game.

 

Something frustrating to me is that the Rockets are always in waiting games!

Come on, let's get some decisions!

 

I laughed when I read about it.

It is the prototypical Kings acquisition.

 

So what's your idea? sign a restricted free agent who's going to get matched anyway and eat half of your cap space for three days?

 

Bazemore is taking 6 more meetings, Horford has an unknown number still to go...

Booooooooo....

 

No, haha, I'm not saying the Rockets are doing anything wrong. It's just frustrating as a fan. I hate waiting out these free agent deals.

 

Oh ok, than i can agree with you, but that's also why this period is cool :grin:

OMG- this cant be true (19 Million a year)

 

WHAT!?

 

Probably what Baze wants. But if I am the Rockets I point to Jordan Carkson's 4/50 contract. Then meet in the middle. 4/60

Damn management in portland not waiting for nothing. Parsons said no and they have a starting SF that quick

 

19M for Turner wow. I thought Mozgov was overpaid

Fournier re ups with Magic 5/85

 

Stuff moving pretty quickly now.

 

None of the guys the Rockets are working on.

Both of our guys (Horford and Bazemore) are going to be "We are interested if other things don't work out" like Bosh was.

 

You don't think Bazemore has more/same value as Turner?
