Hornets are making some good additions this off season.  Don't know how the Dwight presence will workout, but they have vastly improved their squad.

Calderon on a 1 year deal with the Cavs.  Good pickup for Cleveland.  

Even though he is old I really like his energy. I always have thought of him as a very good 2nd PG.

I was being a smart butt, but it would have been a lot more agreeable if Bazemores contract was only for one year. No?

I believe the vast majority would agree, but I'm not really trying to make any point... genuine interest in how Reddick's deal is perceived in relation to the market.

It is a bit over the top but since it is for only one season, not a bad signing for them to try and get into the playoffs.

Wow Michael Carter Williams to Charlotte.  That will be a nice team.  

MCW is now officially the world's youngest journeyman. This is like his 5th team already. He just signed essentially a veteran's minimum contract, he still can't shoot, and he still can't guard other point guards. Is this really a feather in Charlotte's cap?

Believe me, there will be better value signings available over the next few days.

Michael Carter Williams sucks. I would call him a bust.

[Buzzard]

I was hoping to hear something by now. Until Saps cap clears we won't be signing anyone anyway; but it would have been great to hear some positive news!

You know, like who we are visiting with lol

After last years drama... literally refreshing every minute or so... this sorta balances all that out.

I guess whoever was concerned about Bogdan can calm down,  lol

But the point of SnT is to take salary off the receiving team's hands, right?

So, by definition, there's almost got to be players making substantial salary coming this way.

Is Reddick worth $23m/yr?

Discuss.

No

Sorry I may have misread, but possibly the Kings may get him..... I was looking at another one, this guy was the euro league champ.

Thanks for the breakdown.

In other news, Utah is keeping both Gordon Hayward and Joe Ingles.  With Paul not looking to be in Minnesota now and possibly Denver, Minnesota will be in competition for what is likely the 8th seed in the West with Denver and the Clippers.  The top 7 out west are Golden State, San Antonio, Houston, Oklahoma City, Utah, Portland, and Memphis.  

Hold your breath, as the Hawks may not get that pick conveyed just yet.  2018 is going to be a weak draft anyway.

The Kyle Lowry deal is interesting.  He looks to be returning to Toronto for 3 years at an average of $27 million per year.  The market for him, at 31 years of age, wasn't there.  I'm curious to see if the same thing is happening to Paul.  Could he return to Atlanta on a 3 year deal?

[sturt]

Each year in recent memory there's been a false positive reported... I'm not ruling out anything just b/c of initial reports.

Had a similar thought.
