I had to do a double take when I saw this also. For the production level and skill set for the Pacers, this is an unbelievable signing for them. I feel Bird has really given them a fighting chance next year.

Yeah, I would have welcomed Big Al back here for that deal.

Teague, Eliis, George, Turner, Big Al, Young ... That's a good group that they can play big starting Big Al and Turner, or go more agile with Young and Turner while still maintaining good size.

Teletovic agrees to 3 year deal for 30M to play for Bucks.

Belly's a better player and we got him on a 3 year deal for 11.7 Million.

Big Al and Teletovic get the same deal ...

Chandler Parsons is a Max Player as he signs with Memphis on a 4 year deal.

Evan Fournier received a five-year, $85 million contract extension to stay with the Magic. Cross him off some of your lists.

Another insane amount for a role player: Evan Turner has agreed to a four-year, $70 million deal with the Portland Trail Blazers.

Another insane amount for a role player: Evan Turner has agreed to a four-year, $70 million deal with the Portland Trail Blazers.

I can start to understand the Fournier and Parsons deals. That deal for Turner on the other hand is what you call an overpay when you lose out on someone like Parsons.

I guess it's even higher than that, $75mil.

OJ Mayo banned from the NBA for violating the anti-drug program. Consider the hammer dropped.

Well, two year suspension, but i'd say that signals the end of his career. Seems a bit harsh, no?

Yes...must have been some really good shit, man.

Maybe Mayo can make an argument after this free agency period that he's not the only one that needs to be tested. Can the owners/gm's be next?

I'm really scratching my head at the Blazers giving Evan Turner $70/4. They have their starting guards, so why does $18 per year make sense for a guy to come off the bench and not shoot very well?
