So they will run out Treague, Ellis, George, Jefferson and turner. Second best team in the east?

Big Al won't start he can't handle the reps/minutes.  Good bench signing though.

Thad Young off the bench.

Nice team for sure, but I think Toronto is still better and Boston is gonna be right there even without any major additions.

3/30 is startling for Big Al.

See, THAT's a contract I would have wanted.

Same here, awesome deal. And we could've afforded it too if we wanted without compromising our MAX targets.

[CoachBo]

Great contract.

Zero interest in the player.

I don't really understand this move. All their off season moves have been about playing faster and smaller lineups. Big Al is a move in the opposite direction.

$10 mm a year seems like a good value, but 3 years is a long time. If any of the years are non guaranteed I like this deal a lot more.

I don't think so necessarily.

Anyway, anything that happens with Big Al makes me happy. Love that guy.

Here we are just sitting and waiting for Danny to hit a Home Run while these other teams just keep getting better. Indiana is now going to add Big Al plus they got Teague and they got Thaddeus Young. We all were waiting for the big asset trade for a star and it didn't happen. We are waiting for the "home run" signing which probably won't happen. And now there's talk that we are interested in signing Kris Kardashian? I am really getting depressed. Help me Danny - do something!
