I’m afraid of the same thing. I’ve been beating the Hill drum thinking he’d be a cheaper alternative to say a Collison. Now, I wouldn’t be surprised if either gets a 3/18 offer or a 3/45. Some of these lesser guys’ values are going to be so hard to determine.

The key will be to identify a middle-tier guy you want and make him an offer immediately, and say take it now before the frenzy begins. If he does, then be patient with everyone else.

If you strike out on that guy or whomever the next guy is, you need to just sit back and wait out the craziness.

Great idea. I hope that’s our train of thought.

The first group of guys are getting paid.

Lot of guys aren’t even going to get scraps considering how many roster spots will be left to fill and how much money to fill them.

hill likely will re sign with the bucks
they don’t need cap space to sign their FAs so they will have room for him

the vucevich deal likely takes Ross off the table as well

Two cap maestros who never stop grinding -- @Eric Pincus and @KeithSmithNBA -- say there will be in the neighborhood of 210 free agents in a league with 450 full-time roster openings #madness

Fits in with previous numbers suggesting about 40% of the league will be free agents. That actually ups it to 46.67%.

Sources. Kawhi Leonard’s people plan on meeting with Lakers president Jeanie Buss and Magic Johnson next week when free agency starts. Will most likely be in LA

Apparently Kawhi and his camp requested only Magic and Jeanie be there.

Kawhi to the Lakers would actually ruin the NBA. This era of superteams has to end.

Just when the NBA looked wide open.

It would not surprise me if Magic were there as well. He still wants to be part of the Lakers and also feel relevant. Interesting that he does not want Pelinka there. Is this a power play to show support for Magic?

Why the frick would Magic be there after the way he left?

Kawhi going to show up and say “Shoulda traded for me when you had the chance”?

[Shams]Sources: Brooklyn has extended a qualifying offer to All-Star free agent D’Angelo Russell, making him a restricted free agent.

He and Jeanie are still banging. Also Kawhi requested he only speak to them two
