1 ... billion dollars!So what is the Thunder's tax bill? Can't believe they re-signed George and Grant.

He deserves it imo. Very versatile player and still has tons of room to improve. That is not a bad contract at all.####, I misread that. 27 is insane.
it is up there. Paul is 4 for 130 or something.So what is the Thunder's tax bill? Can't believe they re-signed George and Grant.
They easily could have found a minimum salary player off the street to outplay Carmelo this year.Jerami Grant getting 3/21 from OKC. Wow.
That comes with a player option. Even the smart GMs are dumb.Baynes 2/11. i know it's not totally insane, but still feels like a lot of this money is flying out right away.
I think it hurts their big man depth. Ersan did well filling in from the bench to give Saric and Embiid a break. He could also stretch the floor and seemed to do well defensive. However the contract is a bit muchugh, had to bail on ESPN2 faster than i wanted to. But when they said "THat Ersan signing really hurts Philly", i had to move on. Sure the guy is great to have, 3/21 is a bit much for the good guy though
You could be correct, but I'm probably a bit higher on McBuckets than others. He has more to his game than he's shown thus far and with Oladipo's gravity on offense he would really see an uptick in productivity. Seems odd the Pacers kept Bogdanovic & signed McDermott. Maybe they're contemplating playing Oladipo at the 1 more minutes this season?I agree with everything you said in the first paragraph. I don't think McBuckets passes the "Nene Test" with that new contract though. It's a bad deal.
never really seemed like an Ersan return was in the cards. not something i thought much about.ugh, had to bail on ESPN2 faster than i wanted to. But when they said "THat Ersan signing really hurts Philly", i had to move on. Sure the guy is great to have, 3/21 is a bit much for the good guy though
$130M on top of a payroll of $156M.So what is the Thunder's tax bill? Can't believe they re-signed George and Grant.
I thought it was a horrific contract at first, so then I looked him up to confirm, he shot 49% from 3 in Dallas last year, I know it's not the biggest sample size ever but damn.You could be correct, but I'm probably a bit higher on McBuckets than others.

if Lebron signs with LA after all of this, the guy has just given up. pisses on his legacy i think, will be lucky to make it to the 2nd round with the western teams getting better.Joe Vardon:
LeBron’s agent Rich Paul expects to speak with Cavs GM Koby Altman right around now as free agency begins. They spoke yesterday when Paul informed him LeBron was declining his option
The bye bye perhaps..
oh my godSo what is the Thunder's tax bill? Can't believe they re-signed George and Grant.

With Paul George and Jerami Grant on board, Oklahoma City now has a payroll of $156M with 11 players under contract. Because of the repeater tax penalty, the Thunder currently have a tax bill of $130M. The tax bill would be the largest in NBA history.

for a team that lost in the first round last year.I think the George and Grant signings are both good in a vacuum, but that tax bill oh my.
Don't u put that on me, DJaxIan Begley
As free agency opens, there is mutual interest between Mario Hezonja and the Knicks, sources say. Hezonja has multiple suitors and the Knicks are looking to offer short-term contracts to maintain cap space for 2019. Sacramento also has interest in Hezonja.
He's a poor man's version of Kenneth Faried with a passable jumper. That's an end of the rotation type player.He deserves it imo. Very versatile player and still has tons of room to improve. That is not a bad contract at all.
Jerry West is a stud.kind of amazing how the clippers seemed to fall ### backwards out of the quagmire they appeared to be stuck in about 13 months ago.
If Baynes sudden 3point shot is legit that's going to be a really nice signing for Boston. They're going to need value to keep what they have soon enough.Baynes 2/11
Hopefully he keeps the spring in his legs, seemed to be a bit less of late. Then again, on a 1 year deal that's not a huge concern. His durability has been underrated, and his presence on D should allow Smith Jr to use his athleticism and cover up some errors Doncic makes in his rookie season.Jordan 1/24 to Dallas.
No player option?DAmn, George is a 4 year deal
FIBA Melo!!!!!!for a team that lost in the first round last year.
i mean, where is this really going?
i guess it's possible. i just don't see why it was important to do this right away. seems like this deal or something less would always be available for the pacers.You could be correct, but I'm probably a bit higher on McBuckets than others. He has more to his game than he's shown thus far and with Oladipo's gravity on offense he would really see an uptick in productivity. Seems odd the Pacers kept Bogdanovic & signed McDermott.

Oh stop.He's a poor man's version of Kenneth Faried with a passable jumper. That's an end of the rotation type player.
Feel free to officially jump off this dumpster fire of a bandwagon that the Nuggets have.Let's go Magic!!
#### I'm hammered
WGAF how much money Clay Bennett has to spend though? Not that you are doing this but it's always weird when fans get upset about a tax bill.for a team that lost in the first round last year.

nothing reported that i've seen regarding option for george. baynes does have an option.If Baynes sudden 3point shot is legit that's going to be a really nice signing for Boston. They're going to need value to keep what they have soon enough.

We will see what LeBron does before I do anything.Feel free to officially jump off this dumpster fire of a bandwagon that the Nuggets have.
i certainly don't give a ####, just talking about analytically, and i hope that **** goes bankrupt after ####### over Seattle.WGAF how much money Clay Bennett has to spend though? Not that you are doing this but it's always weird when fans get upset about a tax bill.
Hezonja signing with the Knicks or Kings just seems inevitable. Um, good luck! Can't wait to see a backcourt of Mudiay & Hezonja starting the 2nd quarter as Walt Frazier contemplates avoiding the game action in favor of pushing Puma sneakers. The whole 2 minute ramble ends up as a "Say What?" on The Starters.Ian Begley

good point. hiding in plain sight in Woj's tweet...George has a player option.
2nd round?for a team that lost in the first round last year.
i mean, where is this really going?
Roberson's injury doesn't get much attention because he's not a big name, but very good defender. Grant is an upgrade over Anthony if they figure that out.for a team that lost in the first round last year.
i mean, where is this really going?
well, it will either be the Thunder or Lebron Laker2nd round?
Hezonja played 100% of his minutes in the front court last year, most of those at PF. He's reinvented himself as a mediocre combo forward rather than a terrible shooting guard.Hezonja signing with the Knicks or Kings just seems inevitable. Um, good luck!

So far you're the only person I've seen who has anything negative to say about the Grant deal from a basketball perspectiveHe's a poor man's version of Kenneth Faried with a passable jumper. That's an end of the rotation type player.
of course he's a good defender, but how far do you really think they'll go? i mean, god bless them if they will spend the money, just seems like a longshot to be worth it.Roberson's injury doesn't get much attention because he's not a big name, but very good defender. Grant is an upgrade over Anthony if they figure that out.
Westbrook, PG, Adams, Grant and Roberson is a solid starting five.
Or Faried's ability to actually grab a rebound.Unless we're just not considering defense.
Not as weird when previously avoiding a tax bill cost the franchise the current MVP. The second OKC sent James Harden away the Tax bill became a real issue with that organization. Something has clearly changed there though.WGAF how much money Clay Bennett has to spend though? Not that you are doing this but it's always weird when fans get upset about a tax bill.
I'm not Jerami Grant expert but that deal is going to crush their finances for a player who played 20mpg last season. Still a much better contract than Will ####### Barton.So far you're the only person I've seen who has anything negative to say about the Grant deal from a basketball perspective
Wow really?Ariza to Suns for 1/15? Rockets wouldn't do better than that? WTF?
