    That was dumb! Other than the obvious big time free agents I think the NBA (much like MLB) is going to start being more conservative with contracts and players like Teague are going to be offered a fraction of what they think they are going to get. I think we're going to see a lot shorter lengths on contracts too.

    I think it will be very similar to the MLB as well, maybe one or two guys on a team will make a lot and have 4 year contracts, everyone else 1-2 year deals, max of about 15m a year.

    In this market and with very few teams needing a starting PG I'd be surprised if Teague gets much more than the Full-MLE (projected to be a little over $9 million). I bet the Wolves are ecstatic that he opted out.

    82 games is way too long. These are cold hard facts, or you wouldn't be seeing so much "load management" this year. They need to find a way to cut 10 games. 72 is quite possibly the perfect number.

    42 against own conference, 30 against opposing.

    I could easily name about 3.....maybe 4 people on here that I wouldn't mind doing that to. But Sly would give me another strike. Can't let that happen.

    You are not supposed to threaten mods like that. So that would be another strike anyway.

    How many strikes does it take to get thrown out? Is this like Baseball or like Bowling?

    He needs to wait to take his next job.

    Guessing a few more spots will open up. I'd keep an eye on his a Terry replacement.

    It's garbage (load management). And cutting 10 games will never happen.
