Can someone explain the O'Quinn signing to me.//
Seems like a nice player but I dont understand why we acquired a 3rd center
(4th if you count Ike)
1. O'Quinn can play PF as well. Probably best to keep at Center, but he is versatile.
2. O'Quinn is a solid player. Going in to today, what would you of said our biggest need was on our roster? PF? That would of been my answer.
3. There very well could be an additional move coming.
4. Ike might not be back?
5. I just think the team is trying to fill out the roster with as many solid players as it can. We are extremely deep right now, expectations are high.
Turner, Sabonis, O'Quinn, Young and Leaf is a very solid big man group. Throw in a little Alize and have a great night.
Bogs, McBuckets, Evans, Oladipo... Wings are set.
Collison, DoJo and Holiday
Wow, just ready to see what this team can do. See if they have anything else coming up.
Might be able to work S+T deals for Lance and GR3, if those teams come up with another player to use exeptions on.
Not sure what that might look like but its a possibility. I will take a look a few options.
I really don't feel like Ike or Sumner are going to have those final 2 spots when all is said and done?

Taking Smart from them would be huge, that would make them weaker and us stronger.
I would throw in Leaf if need be to.
Like I said, doubt it happens:
1. Dont think Boston wants to make us better.
2. I guess it was just that 1 reason.
He definitely is disgruntled right now though.

Holding out hope that we can bust a S+T with Boston. He seems a little disgruntled right now. Probably slim odds.
CoJo($7.9m)
2019 1st
For
Marcus Smart
Clear cap space as I posted before, we could offer $12-$13m in a S+T.

So after taking another look.
We can sign O'Quinn after we finish other moves.
To make room for O'Quinn, they released Poythress($1.54m)
Cap space: $1.65m
If we cut Ike($.7m savings)
Stretch Jefferson($2.7m)
We could still have around $5m left if we chose to go this route.

Alize Johnson is balling this quarter. The offense is basically running through him right now.
Trevon Duval has been killing us. He just got hurt so hopefully he's ok.
Was surprised Trevon wasn't drafted.
Hopefully Alize can run some at the 3. Time will tell. I think he can.

Alize Johnson is having a good showing as well.
I think Alize has some nice potential.
Holiday looking good.
Those last 3 spots are up for grabs.
I've always liked Travis Leslie's game as well. Maybe he can steal that last spot?
Anigbogu
Alize Johnson
Sumner
Leslie
Potential vet minimum signing out there as well?

PG to me is the perfect Robin, a Great 2nd best player on any team. A Top 15-20 player in the league. He reminds me of a Scottie Pippen type, Great Defensively and a Good Scorer but not a guy that can lead a team to a Championship being the best player. He can thrive playing with RW, he would've thrived playing with someone like Kobe too because PG isn't ball dominant. He would've won Championships playing with Kobe or Jordan as a Robin.
This is my thoughts exactly.
He also showed me, that he knows that to be the case(he isn't a number 1 guy). That's at least respectable.
He is fine with letting Russ do his thing, so he doesn't have to take as much blame when things don't go right.
This is the same guy that passed the ball to CJ Miles(who missed shot) with 5 seconds then asked why he didn't pass it back to him. Like he wanted the shot, if you want the shot you don't pass the ball with 5 seconds to go. Knowing if Miles would of made shot he would of been like "I was unselfish and made the right play"
That's not what happened, and he called out his teammate for doing what he is suppose to(trying to score because his so called "1 guy" just passed it to him instead of took the shot. He was afraid to miss it.
Anyway, sorry for the little rant. As you can tell I'm not a fan. I'm happy with the trade for sure.
I do think Paul is a good number 2 guy. I would take Scottie though.

Pretty deep as you didn't even list Holiday.
Or Leaf.
Great signing. Really wasn't looking at him as an option, but it's a good one.
12 deep. With Anigbogu, Sumner and Alize Johnson to hopefully grow.

Yeah, bit I dont think MLE is enough for Smart. I agree would love him but just dont see it happening unless we were to work out a trade with them.
-
Must say, NBA player reaction to Boogie is quite funny.
Lets get this Tyreke news to be official and move on to this MLE.
$8.6m should get us another solid guy.
Assuming we get Evans, what are you guys looking for? PF depth or another 3pt specialist(Ellington)?

Me either, but the numbers line up pretty good to what I was posting prior

Yeah that was one of the sources I wasn't sure of.
Still haven't seen any big names announce, hopefully its true.

Seeing some news that Tyreke Evans has agreed to a 1yr $12m deal with the Pacers.?
Not sure of source, but it is out there.
No link, but google Evans and Pacers

Top FA options remaining:
Julius Randle(LA rescinded tender)
Marcus Smart(RFA)
Tyreke Evans
Jabari Parker(RFA)
Zach Lavine(RFA)
Luc Mbah a Moute(could be under radar signing there, solid 3+D)
Avery Bradley
Wayne Ellington
Rodney Hood(RFA)
DaMarcus Cousins(guess it wouldn't hurt to look into.)
Will leave the list there, hopefully we land 1 or more of these guys.
-
After taking a look. Looks like we have $12.1m in cap space.
Could free up about $3m more by releasing Poythress and Anigbogu(Probably keep him now that Al has been released.)
And could add additional $2.7m if they stretch Jefferson's contract.
Could realistically get to $18m easy.
Then have an $8.7m non taxpayer mid-level exception at their disposal.
-
We released Jefferson, saving $6m.

Keith Smith: Sources: The Indiana Pacers have waived veteran big man Al Jefferson. Cap hit of $4 million. Could be stretched.
– viaTwitter
So, not sure of the exact figure, but that should get us up around $11-$12m in space.
Still a lot more than most teams. I think we probably sign 3 more guys.
2 to fill up cap and one exception.
Going to be interesting

This.
We should have North of $100m next year. Outside any new major contracts or extensions.

That will be a thing to watch. Ha.
Yeah, definitely will be interesting. That gives them 3 guys that need the ball in their hand. Makes me wonder what the intentions with Ball are? Maybe he is on the move?

Aaron is looking really solid. Looks like he might be a steal.
Seems to have a lot a Jrue in him, but possibly a better shooter?
