Around the NBA - July 2017 Edition

I get that it's twitter and people try to say things with as few words as possible but in this case, I think it would have been more accurate to simply say they declined to pick up the final year of his non-guaranteed contract.

His 3-point shooting is only average, but he has really developed into an outstanding defensive player.

$18 - $20 million sounds high at first, especially since he won't be starting this year with Ben Simmons joining the active roster, but them Allen Crabbe got that kind of money and he doesn't start either. So, you never know.

PHI already exercised their $1.577 million option for 2017-18. So, his big payday won't happen until next summer. They still have him on a cheap contract for one more year.

Kyle Lowry maybe?

 

I get the feeling that Cleveland are trying to work out a trade involving Love with just about everybody. Kind of sad. I never thought much of Love but he had a great year and did everything they asked. Of course they just fired their entire front office. Gilbert seems like such a great guy.

 

Westbrook wins MVP, shocking.

 

The full voting won't be released until tomorrow. I made an informal "bet" with @KingSpeed that Allen Crabbe won't finish in the top 10.

Apparently the Nets and Philly are trying really hard to get Redick. Should be interesting to see how much money he gets. Then we'll know Allen Crabbes value around the league.

Allen Crabbe is obviously more athletic, and on the upswing, while JJ is on the downswing. I think JJ is gonna get a fat contract. Maybe 3 years at most, but a lot of money per year. So moving Allen Crabbe might not be so hard after all.

 

Ha I came to this board to post the same rumor. My question is who do these two teams turn to if they don't get Redick? Very anxious to see how much they offer him.

 

I think the Nuggets have one of the least aware/hoop knowledgable fans in the league. There's some dude is bitching about how Nurk got one second place vote and when I tried to say that his short stretch of great games was well worth that one measly vote all the sudden it's like I shook the hive.

Nuggets fans seem to be in full meltdown about Nurk. I can't wait to see how they react if he's an all-star/wins most improved/wins a championship.

It's just pathetic on their part at this point. It's not even like he Fd them in FA, that FO messed that situation up, but they still blame Nurk.

 

Hopefully Allen Crabbe

 

Yeah as much as I like Crabbe, he is their best option to cut salary.

 

Where is this? Reddit?

 

Yeah, go figure...

 

Yeah he's pretty much a luxury we can't afford right now. Other teams can though, and have the minutes for him.

 

Yeah, the Nuggets fans on Reddit are suuuuuuuuper salty about Nurk. It's pretty entertaining.

 

kentavious Caldwell-Pope is a RFA likely to get an offer at least as much as Crabbe's

 

Like we are about LMA? Different scenarios, but still. Some of you tools need to learn what a mirror is.

 

First - I was never that salty about LA leaving.

Second - Take the saltiest person here regarding LA, multiply it by 3, and you have the least salty Nuggets fan on reddit.

Third - You're right, different scenarios. LA was a FA, Nuggets FO traded Nurk. You are comparing apples to oranges.

 

Minnesota is trying to clear caproom to go after Lowry. Right now they have $17mil in space if they renounce everyone. I think there is a Rubio trade to be made there, Ezeli plus Ed Davis...
