    Then Turner, Aminu, Swanigan, that 2nd rounder, and our 2019 1st for Love and Korver.

    Big rotation of Love, Nurk, Collins, and Bolden would be sweet.

    I'd love Bolden, but I don't think Philadelphia is trying to shed salary anymore.

    Well it would generate a trade exception for them. If they were still trying to get Kawhi they could include either Korkmaz, Anderson, or TLC to us and that would give them enough of a TPE to take on Danny Green along with Kawhi.

    It probably is a pipe dream but I think they'd like to get someone more useful than Bayless since they think they are contenders.

    Not to mention the fact that it's yet again the Pacers appearing to make a good move. Adding Tyreke and O'Quinn to a squad that was already challenging for the 3 seed in the east all year, plus potential further growth from Sabonis and their picks from last year--wouldn't surprise me to see them in the conference finals.

    Collison/Joseph
    Oladipo/
    Evans/Bogdanovic
    Sabonis/T. Young
    Turner/OQuinn

    Wow, should’ve just retired a spur... he doesn’t have much left to give.

    Seems like a weird signing for the Hornets.

    Why do people say "so and so should've retired" or "so and so has been hurt so much he should just give up"?

    It's Tony's decision if he still wants to play and if he wants to accept a deal from another team.

    They’ve been amazing in the market for sure. Last year too - Collison, Bogdanovic and Joseph were all steals.

    Have to keep reminding myself that I still hate KP. But he's building a great roster.

    The roster is really solid but I don't see a super high ceiling with that team. Next summer Collison, Bogdanovic, Joseph, Turner, Evans, Young, and O'Quinn are all free agents, that's 7 of the 9 guys on that depth chart mentioned.

    I still believe they are going too far to be decent right now instead of setting up their future.

    I like the signings. A small market team doing what they can to be relatively competitive, give their fans a decent product to watch.

    At the same time, I feel like if it was us making these signings, there'd be a why bother, it doesn't make us title contenders, comments about being on a treadmill, etc.

    That is exactly my point. Turner regressed last year. Sabonis seems pretty solid but not star level. Leaf doesn't look like he has too much promise (still young though). Holiday could be a solid pick this year but you'd think a team like that would be signing more younger guys who could still develop instead of solid veterans.

    They'll certainly keep Turner. And they have Joe Young, TJ Leaf, Aaron Holiday, and Ike Anigbogu all waiting in the wings to step in and fill spots vacated by departing free agents. Crap--also forgot about Doug McDermott. Well, nobody bats 1.000...

    In any case, next summer they're looking at $60M in cap space. If they perform well this season, they're going to get a lot of looks in free agency.

    So this hints of appeasing KLeonard. Tony was someone who gave him a hard time about his injury.
