July 7, 201511 yr The Big 3 took less, but nowhere near to the degree of what these guys did. Bosh or LeBron didn't come play for the league minimum and Wade wasn't getting paid half of his worth. This will be a 1 year thing as I feel Duncan and Manu are gone after this year. Manu signed a two year deal
July 7, 201511 yr Author I have no idea how they pulled off what they did. Duncan and West are both making way below what they are worth. As I said in the Kobe thread, kudos to them for taking (substantially) less to just win. People always clamor for it as if it should be expected, when in reality it shouldn't. What just happened is unprecedented. I wonder what the Union brass thinks of these type deals? No Union will ever like any player taking less than his worth. Bad precedent is set.
July 8, 201511 yr David Lee to the Celtics. I like the move. Gerald Wallace was a $10 million 12th man, and Lee makes them better. He's on a one year deal so they will drop his $15 million after the season. I would have rather seen them go after a franchise center though.
July 8, 201511 yr DeAndre Jordan has reportedly reached out to the Clippers saying he may have made a mistake. Doc and others are meeting with him in Houston with high hopes he will return.
July 9, 201511 yr Clippers sent about 8 people to meet with Jordan and Jordan promised to meet with Cuban after the meeting... The Clippers won't let anyone in his house to meet with him. Basically they are holding him hostage until he signs or makes a decision. Crazy.
July 9, 201511 yr Author That's crazy but I'm surprised it's never happened before. It has. Hedo Turkoglo did it also.
July 9, 201511 yr Author Yo Dirk, Never sell yourself short. Now you are playing for pennies on the dollar and your team is worse than mine now. Dummy. Signed, Kobe Bryant
July 9, 201511 yr I guess this is the proper place to post this.... So apparently Kyrie was giving an interview or something of that nature and he made the comment that if the Cavs had been healthy they would've won the title (very well may be true). Draymond Green's response? "Yeah, and if I were 6'11" I'd be Anthony Davis." :lol2:
July 9, 201511 yr For those who have seen The Wolf of Wall Street, you might get a kick out of this. Imagining DeAndre Jordan Announcing LA Return in 'The Wolf of Wall Street' Style | Bleacher Report
July 10, 201511 yr Yo Dirk, Never sell yourself short. Now you are playing for pennies on the dollar and your team is worse than mine now. Dummy. Signed, Kobe Bryant True but let's not act like Cuban isn't taking care of Dirk. Duncan did the same thing got a ring and will probably get another next year.
