Maybe my memory is foggy but free agency seems to be dragging this year with many quality players still on the market. What gives?
Delete. Thought this was another Melo thread and I made a rude comment. I have no insight to why. Carry on
Maybe not stars, but decent players that I expected to be off the market by now. Rose, Noel, Plumlee, Mirotic, Muhammad, Tony Allen, Jamychal Green. Some of these guys are $10+ million a year players, I feel like they would have been signed already in years past before you see the vet min contracts being handed out.
uhh which one of those guys would you pay $10 mil a year for. that's ridiculous besides maybe noel but hes a RFA. i wouldnt even give nearly that much to rose. outside of probably noel none of those guys are getting that much
I would have expected all of them outside of Tony Allen with today's salary cap. Solomon Hill makes $12 million!
well yeah we've seen there's dumb GM's across the league but with the exception of one player at the C position none of those guys are worth that much a year
doubt it. most of the guys signing in that area would have already been coveted. those guys are just trying to find the right team to give them a spot at this point or in noels case, offers.
I don't even see a real landing spot for him. I think he might take the QO and try his luck next year as a UFA with the benefit of a season under Carlisle likely strengthening his value around the league. I was counting on Brooklyn offering a big deal and the Mavs matching and then being hindered by that contract for the next 4 years.
Poor Noel. Cuban screwed him last year. Check this out. "Noel fell one start short of meeting the starter criteria, which would have given him a $5,848,910 qualifying offer [vs the $4,187,599 QO)."
That is some scumbag **** that would get Morey eviscerated here. Cuban does that a lot too, but it's Morey that is the guy with the reputation for treating players like assets
Should be noted that Morey went out of his way to make sure DMo fulfilled starter criteria last year to get the higher QO....which was hard to do since it was an injury year. He had to get it based on average over the last two years.
Morey actually went out of his way to give DMO starts his final year hear so he would get his starters bonus. Hopefully Nerlans has a good agent and him to take the QO and bet on him self.
