Conley is a GOAT...

There are only two previous players that got paid >30m a year: The two GOATS, Jordan and Kobe

Lebron is officially not in league with Conley let alone the other two.
Conley is the 3rd greatest player of all time and the best point guard since Naismith discovered basketball.

Sai Mike Con Con cool
I am just wondering how much Curry would be offered next season

OohMpa...your Serbian Hercules Djokovic was slayed by minnow Sam Querrey 3-1 sets..

He looked tired if you ask me and did not show the passion he is renowned for. He would usually get upset with officials, ball boys, argue calls, fling bats etc but yesterday he looked subdued.

yeah, Bradley has been far gone. I just don't trust j.r as our main shooting guard. I think he thrives better wen under competition. Players like that get too relaxed and take things for granted In the absence of pressure. He seems to have so much drama in his everyday personal life. Besides we cavs need to take some scoring load off Lebron to preserve him for next few years.
Wow. that's true.. Only wade, J.R and jamal crawford are the Top shooting guard on the free agency list, maybe we should go for jamal.

Dion Waiters is also free, but i doubt cavs would go for him again

Im just hearing of this guy name, Solomon Hill. I dont even know him, just read about him now that the Pacers declined a $2.3M for 2016/2017 season, But Pelicans offered him a 4yrs $52M deal, Someone that avg 4.2 pts in the 2015/2016 season. What's happening, tell me!!
He had a decent playoffs and is now due to earn more than Steph Curry. Its madness

Funny the only trade I feel would be a game changer is Horford joining the Celts. Provided they can hold on to Johnson who would most likely demand more money than he is worth

I mean "Durant's buddies said he's staying at OKC" wink it's rumour but We all know how it works.

BTW Mavericks offered Barnes Max $95M/4yrs, Golden State has to match. Durant will officially make his announcement within 24-36hrs
Shoulda kuku held on to Parsons if this wasteman is going to be his replacement. Is Felton going to be the starting PG. Abeg make Nowitzki leave these unserious people

All these contract are making me go crazy. Do soccer players make this much??
Yes to an extent but only among the top clubs and their stars. Their salaries are comparable. A Messi and Ronaldo for instance would probably match Conley's salary

The highest paid player at my favorite club Bayern probably earns €13-15m
which is just south of $20m

Pls since it does not look like we are going for bigs, cuz all d potential bigs r not available. Does that mean we are keeping Ezeli, Bogut and our bench to sign Durant (of cuz Barnes moves)

God help me if I don't get a heart attack today..

Memphis Grizzlies and Mike Conley agrees to $153M/5yrs..

Eruditor, A40, Mizzzbeee, lolawilliams, Sircumalot and we're here arguing statistics. cry

Took a hardlook at my life following the contracts of these players. I share the general sentiment on the thread that my sons (whenever they come) will play professional sport most likely Basketball.

I am hearing good news that Harrison Barnes is off to Dallas for $95M/year.

A40, your beloved Dallas took him from us grin

Bro... cry cry

Djokovic ain't a fighter like Murray. Once he's down two sets, it's hard to come back from that. When he went 4 - 0 in the third set, Ooh Mpa thought he'd do it. The match got delayed and Querrey came back on drugs.

Calendar and golden grand slam gone cry

Ooh Mpa is looking for an underdog to support. Federer shouldn't win it ooo cry

I don't think horford joining the Celtics change the power structure in the east.
we've already seen horford at his best with a better team,and it was enough.

KD is just wasting all this team time.
instead of going after Durant,that will remain in OKC all this team should have been after the next best wing in FA.

Lol if Durant is available you go for him tbh. The koko is don't trade your options when KD hasn't given you an iron clad commitment.

I'm really suprised you guys didn't go for a guy like Deng, I doubt K.D is coming but if he does then it would be worth it. If not you guys just need a desperate veteran who can contribute. With Steph still getting $12m paying $23m for Barnes would be phoolish. Don't know how much Klay has left on his deal. The core is Klay-Dray and Steph the other parts are replaceable

Curry and Iguodala will be UFA next season..
Klay 2019, Draymond 2020. Durant will make his announcement today and I'm not looking forward to it. The highest paid on GSW is Klay Thompson with $16.6/yr and some teams are offering ridiculous amounts to some players. I hope they don't end up regretting. It would've made more sense if extra money went to the WNBA. cheesy

Boston are a well drilled team. They just need more scoring and less load on Thomas. Already they have strengthened while the Hawks and Heat have gone weaker, the Hornets have also lost Lin, Lee and Jefferson. They were a 48 win team last year, i'm pretty sure they would do better this year. Plus they still have space for another max deal. Cavs are still the faves but who else can boldly say they are better than Boston?

A true definition of a PG in the traditional sense, however, he did not refine his game and position as the game evolved, he is pretty much in the same boat as Jeff Teague.

Moving to Dallas was a disaster, good thing he salvaged some of his game reputation with the Kings.

I can say so
Boston as for now is the 2nd best team in the east but hoford isn't enough to dethrone the cavs make we still they watch.
I was hoping it would be Miami but all the veterans Don wake Comot.

True tho! But they aren't available anymore cry. Kevin Durant might just pull a David Aldridge on us like AL did to lakers embarassed

And most of them can play both sports. But I think the talented basket ballers always choose basketball ahead of Football. Football is mostly athleticism

I bet you could've gotten one of this guy if you pursued them instead of trying to recruit KD.
you may have to pay Barnes that money cheesy.
am on record saying I want KD to join the warriors, the whole league will hate the warriors but won't be able to stop them.
it is a very pleasurable experience. ask an heat fan.
