Looks like the Bucks picked up Gary Trent Jr.
That seems like a good fit actually.

Trent was promised a starting job with the Bucks.

Surprised Tyus Jones is still unsigned. I wish we had a roster spot (cut Roddy?) and could sign Fultz or Dinwiddie on a minimum contract.

No post about Westbrook being traded & then bought out?
Go Suns!

It’s weird that Jokic pushed for Russ.

https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/405 ... ources-say
The Clippers and Jazz have agreed to a sign-and-trade deal involving Russell Westbrook, who is expected to join the Nuggets after Utah waives the former MVP and buys out the remainder of his contract, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

The Clippers will receive guard Kris Dunn from the Jazz for Westbrook, a second-round draft pick swap and cash, sources told Wojnarowski.

Westbrook, coming off a 2023-24 season during which he averaged a career-low 11.1 points for the Clippers, is expected to clear waivers before joining the Nuggets, according to sources.

League sources told ESPN that the Nuggets were interested in adding Westbrook if he were waived. The Nuggets can use a veteran backup point guard who can provide energy and defend after Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Reggie Jackson left in free agency.

That's a good pickup for them on a low-commitment deal.

Yeah, we're still a couple years away from finally getting Dinwiddie. Gotta wait until he's nearly washed.

He's looked pretty washed then last year and a half, maybe 2.

OK, it is confirmed then. We are either getting him at the trade deadline or the following season.

I feel like the Suns for the price for the best 2 PGs they probably could've landed with Morris and Gillespie.

OK, fine, but you are messing with my Suns getting players after they peak joke.

I like Reggie Jackson, but it looks like he's been declining a lot the past few seasons. His FG% and 3pt% aren't very good and you'd think he would get minutes on these teams that need bench guard depth.

Doesn't it seem like a couple teams are getting all the FAs? Seems like Philly got 15 of them.

They did kind of get 13 of them, or was it 14 since they moved Reed…

Seriously? Who's left from last season other than Embiid and the young guard whose name escapes me at the moment?

Technically Maxey was an RFA as well, they didn’t sign him to keep max cap room. They did resign several of their own free agents including our favorite Kelly…
