Wow! 5 years $145mil for Davis!!!
Worth every penny IMO, but that's the first 'super-max' deal we've seen. NFL-esque??
What the! Aminu agrees to 4 year / $30mill deal in Portland!
Breaking news: I'm hearing Vincent carter has just been traded.... TO THE RAPTORS!
Grizz get Patrick Patterson & a second round draft pick in 2016
*waiting for confirmation if this is correct.
Yeah, I agree that they nearly always are media driven. I just couldn't see Toronto being an attractive option to move to. Yeah, they'd be pretty darn good with him, but so would San Antonio if they got him and they carry that 'home state' aspect. It surely exists, but is definitely blown up. Dallas and LA would be much better with him pending other moves (Deandre Jordan?) and would also surely be more attractive than Toronto.He didn't even have a house in Oregon - he rented from Damon Stoudamire, which is now on the market.
Honestly, I think most of this "going home" stuff is media driven - they love the idea of Durant going home to play for Washington. Love was linked to Portland for the same reason. So was Paul George to LA. When I hear it, I just don't buy into it. Money and success speak louder at the end of the day.
