Re: 2014 Off-Season Thread

Via Dan Gilbert himself, Kyrie Irving has agreed to sign the max extension, so Cleveland gets to keep their guy at least. Hopefully he lives up to it.

Edit: OSU beat me to it.

so twitter banned that guy impersonating woj.. lol

Marc Stein @ESPNSteinLine · 11m Blazers, Grizzlies, Bulls, Mavericks, Rockets ... teams I'm told called tonight to register interest in Brooklyn's Paul Pierce BESIDES Clips

The clippers could definitely use his offense during crunch time.

Re: 2014 Off-Season Thread

Personally, I'm still skeptical of Isaiah being an above average starter in the NBA. It'll be interesting to see how much exactly he can get on the market.

May I ask why? It seems like a lot of people are skeptical of him. The only reasons I can think of, are his size or the fact that no one watched Sac last year. He is very talented.

Is this contract for Kyrie correct? I've been hearing 5yr/90mil. That's crazy.

@AlexKennedyNBA
Andray Blatche has been telling people around the league that he may end up with the New Orleans Pelicans, according to sources.

Another big off the bench if true I suppose. Has to be an upcoming trade in the works to dump some salary

Re: 2014 Off-Season Thread

Don't think Kyrie is worth the max but then again I think there are only 5-6 guys in the NBA worth that. I understand them giving it to him though.

Re: 2014 Off-Season Thread

He's not but they could definitely do worse.

Yeah, that's one of those situations where their hand got forced (or would have been forced.)

I agree, but good for Kyrie though.

I don't think it's a bad deal considering Kyrie is a fantastic player (or he can be) but when guys like Iso Joe get the max, maybe Klay Thompson I continually think GM's are stupid. These are the same people that give a bunch of people ridiculious deals every year then the owner cry when the CBA is up they aren't making money (that's a different topic though...).

Size and the fact that's he's more of a shooting guard in a college PG's body. He's fine offensively if you can put him with a SG that distributed or a point forward, but he's not a great distributor and he's a liability defensively.

Re: 2014 Off-Season Thread

With Kyrie getting the max, how good does Stephen Curry's 4 year $44 mil contract look right now?

Which is why I think a pairing with Smart might actually work. With smart being a playmaking SG, like Harden, Monta, Lance.

This only makes sense obviously if Boston decides it's time to officially "rebuild", in which having Rondo isn't a necessity.

Re: 2014 Off-Season Thread

Is there any chance NOR would amnesty Gordon? Try to sign someone like Parsons so Reke can spend full time at SG as he requested?
