Charlotte is so dumb and desperate.

Aren't all NBA contracts guaranteed?

Yes, but they are dumb for not doing at least a team option. I bet he also has a no trade clause lol. Hornets dumb af

Got to wonder if Charlotte was in communication before FA started.

How the f**k did Gordan Hayward get ANOTHER 100 million dollar contract

HOLY s**t

Suns net Jae Crowder for 3 years / $30 million. That's a steal.

Glad Rondo took the money from ATL and didn't go to the Clips. Clippers went from the favorite last year to they'll be fighting with Denver for the 2nd seed

So a few days in, what teams have actually made themselves better? I know this is all speculation, but who is going to actually be better and improve their chance at a title/standing/playoffs hopes?

I think my Lakers have greatly improved their 2nd unit and ability to score when Lebron goes to the bench. They lost some leadership and solid guard play in Rondo and Bradley, but I think they've put themselves in a position to have a run at back to back titles.

Looks like a lot of talent left the Western Conference.

No doubt we got younger and our bench improved. We really needed to get a little younger and healthier, but we did lose a defensive presence and some height with Dwight leaving.

I think it's a fair value for Crowder.

In the West - I think Suns, Blazers, Jazz and Lakers improved.

I still can't believe Lakers got Harrell. I would have prefered Ibaka but I'm guessing he is going to get more money than Lakers could have afforded.

Lakers upgraded Rondo to Schroader, Green to Wes (slight), and Dwight to Harrell (huge improvement in scoring but Harrell hasn't shown he wants to play defense). But, getting younger and faster was important. Lakers did that really well. Opens up more time for Caruso too and I think THT gets some time in reg. season as well to show what he's got.

Lakers do need to either retain KCP or get a shooter. Bogi is a LONG LONG LONG shot right now...so gotta find a way to retain KCP or S&T him for something that can land them a shooter.

The Gordon Hayward deal is officially not a sign and trade.

The Boston Celtics let a max player walk away for free.

Embarrassing day to be a Celtics fan.

Danny Ainge is on the hot seat.
