But but but, Kevin Durant is gonna sign with us because we are so awesome

 

Ummmmm.... Players don't leave after their rookie contract

 

bullshit....I form opinions and you are basically saying they are of no value...adding to a conversation is moving on unless you just want to ignore my posts

 

Dame showed loyalty and proved it...and sorry but players do change teams after their rookie contract is up...Joel Freeland and Victor Claver just did that..now whether you like them or not is a choice...but they got paid and left the team

 

whatever, we were talking FREE FRIGGIN AGENTS, but you just won't see that, good riddance, hard to have a common sense discussion with a total friggin homer with blinders on

 

Yep, I am sayin your opinions are total crap

 

Um, didn't they walk since they didn't get offers from the Blazers? Neither would be considered a top free agent. Neither plays in the NBA anymore.

 

And I'm saying you're opinion is paranoid victimized apathy and you are living in the past trying to support some, history repeats itself babble...over and over and over...it's a new Blazer era...you don't value that...fine..you think my opinions are crap you should go back and unlike all the ones you've liked..please do

 

Star players drafted in the first round don't. They have four years with the team, then are restricted. They have to take substantially less money in year 5 to become unrestricted. Star players leave after the second contract (lamarcus )

 

They most certainly will match; infact Golden State will welcome us signing him to a max deal because it will be less than the max they would have to pay if they sign him themselves. It's the same as trying to chase Kawhi Leonard, Jimmy Butler, Draymond Green, and Andre Drummond in free agency. Zero chance their teams give away an asset they can keep.

Even if they don't want Barnes at that price long term they'll just match and trade him to one of the dozen under the cap teams a few months later for a pick. Luxury taxes aren't calculated until almost a year later after the playoffs.

 

I edited that as soon as I posted it...if you notice..I reread your post and you did say big free agent...one might say Aminu and Davis are big...depends on how you define big...but I changed it within seconds of posting it

 

Yeah, if the team doesbt want them anymore. Freeland was not on a rookie deal, we signed him to a three year deal not on the rookie scale because it had been too longfrom when we drafted him.

And we traded claver. He did not walk away from us.

 

Every team has trouble getting those star players to sign. The Lakers haven't signed one in the twenty years since Shaq.

 

Way to bring the personal insults....lot of common sense in that eh? Keep it up....for your info...I'm not a free agent.

 

Using the trade machine is fun.

Rockets got Whiteside already in the Howard trade..Howard to the Hawks, Horford and Teague to the Heat

 

I missed all of that? :|

 

Rockets also got Dragic, Anderson, and somebody else or a pick...Pat Riley is a genius...he got Teague and Horford

 

Did that include the cheerleading roster?

 

Riverman is from tomorrow.
