    Every year within minutes of the "start of free agency" there are announcements from Woj and Shams about players agreeing to terms with teams. Usually not the big names because they either want to have formal meetings or want to go through the ruse that they weren't already speaking with teams.

    I have a horrible feeling we're about to sign a Tony Snell/Solomon Hill/Mo Harkless/Torrey Craig for the full TPMLE. Ugh.

    torrey craig is exactly type of player blazers should pursue (id be surprised if the suns or some contender dont sign him)

    long, athletic, plays defense & solid 3-point shooter

    Yeah after reviewing the list of free agents available, I'd be okay with Craig as well. Just hope he plays as well as he did in his half season with Phoenix. Still, it's underwhelming.

    Last year they cracked down on it and it was a lot slower.

    Fischer is now saying Pistons and Pelicans are looking at Norm Powell. Ugh. Why couldn’t Lowry delay his decision?

    No worries, we spent a 2nd rounder (CJ2) to get Powell to re-sign, and it'll work!!!!

    FWIW, the most the Pistons could offer Norm is a 4 year/86ish million dollar contract. Right now I'm expecting the Norm contract to come in at 4/84, which is what Schroeder declined from the Lakers. Hoping it's not higher.
