No one is going to want to play in the D-League unless they raise the salaries. D-League ain't going to be a srs farm system until that happens becasue no one wants to make 17K a year when they can make 6 figures overseas.

This is very true.

Don't most people think Kanter will get a big deal in free agency? I mean, if not this offseason, then certainly the next offseason. With the cap going up, anybody who can play basketball is going to get a huge deal in free agency.

Well, it was about this stage of his career that Al Jefferson got a $12 - 14mm/year deal wasn't it? And the Jazz snatched Carlos Boozer from Cleveland with a 5-year deal at $60M? Kanter could get 4 years and $50M in today's market if a team is serious about him. But when Chad Ford says HUGE deal, that sounds like close to a max. I can't see that happening.
 
Locke did a pretty good breakdown of the market for Kanter. There really isn't much of a market for him. There will be a lot of big guy free agents... he'll be pretty far down the list. He'd be smart to kick the can down the road one year and take the QO. When the new deal kicks in he'll get better offers just because of the rising cap and the amount of teams that will have money.

I could see Milwaukee, Boston, Indiana, or the Lakers going after him... doubt he would be the number one target of any of those teams.
 
Anybody know much about RJ Hunter? Ford has him in the lottery on his draft machine thing. Compares him to Klay Thompson. I would take that.

Locke probably reading our forum again to get ideas for his show.

Dang, D'angelo Russell is 6'5" and only 176 lbs.

I think that weight is outdated. He looks bigger than that now. Regardless, he's 19 - he'll fill out. He already uses his size well, can post up smaller guards, etc.

Best player in the draft.

Agreed. He's like a 6'5" Damian Lillard.
