Everything Valanciunas

With this Jonas deal, do we even have room to offer Durant (or any other notable free agent) a hefty contract next year?

I don't think they'll have the room unless they do a S&T.

Seems to me, with the rise in the cap it only means parting with DeMar or DeMarre ... or maybe even CoJo. T-Ross would be out, right? And we don't know what KD would take, maybe on a one- or two-year deal (especially if OKC doesn't "make good").

Guess my point is ... there do seem posibilities. Any way you cut it, next July will be CRRRRAAAAZZYY

So in other words, we have as much "room" as 29 other teams

Lol JV's smiling like "Now my teammates must give me ball"

I can't stop staring at your eyes, Wild-ling. I haven't blinked in 7 minutes.

Just a clarification on Valanciunas terms: Straight 4 years, $64M.

Wait so no player option ?

WTF how the fuck did masai just pull this off

Holy shit, amazing deal

on the otherhand I wonder what Casey's reaction was when he found out lol

[Nilanka]

Thanks to this deal, Masai can no longer afford socks.

You have to admit that he really seems to like Toronto. And has since he was a kid. And Toronto is looking slick as a Brill-Creamed duck-tail these days. So there's that.

We'll see sometime after the All-Star festivities, is what I'm sayin. And just before OVO Fest

Dammit

There is a 4th year option on Valanciunas deal, but "straight" in past tweet was in reference to $64M guaranteed and no bonus incentives.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised at this point if this is exactly what Demar gets now.

I feel like he set the tone with the KL signing and now he's cemented it.

Masai will give you the contract he gives you, and you will be thankful you get to play on his team lol

I admire your enthusiasm, but I'm not going to allow myself to get excited about any Durant possibilities until Woj starts tweeting about it

You think Masai fills him in piece by piece, then fills him in on details just after he sends a rather ambiguous statement? Just to drive him crazy?

So after KD tweets a pic of him shaking Masai's hand? While in Hawaii? While everyone would've sworn he was in his house?
