Stephenson In, Lowry Out for the Raptors Kyle Lowry has left the Toronto faithful stunned after signing on with the LA Lakers for the next three seasons. The Lakers were quick to move on Lowry after a controversial ruling that denied them from receiving young dynamic guard Eric Bledsoe from the Suns. Raptors fans did have something to cheer about however, with the signing of the talented young stat sheet stuffer Lance Stephenson being announced later that day. Stephenson adds even more youth to an already young and athletic roster that improved dramatically following the trading of Rudy Gay last season. In news from other teams, the Utah Jazz and Detroit Pistons have retained the rights to young stars Gordon Hayward and Greg Monroe, with Monroe earning a 4 year deal worth $50M. Metta World Peace - 2yr/$4M James Johnson - 1yr/$2M Elton Brand - 1yr/$3.44M Caron Butler - 1yr/$5.5M Lance Stephenson - 3yr/$33.01M Ed Davis - 2yrs/$8.69 Mike Miller - 1yr/$1.5M Shawn Marion - 1yr/$2.5M Kyle Lowry - 3yrs/$28.92m Anderson Varejao - 2yrs/$6.46M Eric Bledsoe - 4yrs/$43.85M Glen Davis - 1yr/$4.47M Greg Monroe - 4yrs/$50M Gordon Hayward - 3yrs/22.01M
Glad to get Hayward sorted so now I have a better idea of what I can spend. Also was a few million cheaper that I anticipated.
Huge news confirmed out of OKC tonight with the Thunder confirming troubled centre Andrew Bynum has officially signed a 4 year worth $16.48M. The signing comes in the wake of the Kendrick Perkins trade that left OKC searching for a big man able to push them towards that elusive NBA championship. OKC officials and fans seem excited by the signing, but have acknowledged there is an element of risk gambling on the big man's fitness.
16m? Blimey. More than worth it at that given how overrated he is in 2k and probably won't be injured nearly as much.
Further signings tonight! Grievis Vasquez - 3yrs/12.67M Danny Granger - 2yrs/10.22M Jemaine O'Neal - 1yr/1.64M Mario Chalmers - 3yrs/13.4M
yo guys, Sorry about the delay, Ihaven't forgotten about this. Been stuck with a few things at home this week. Everything seems ready to go ahead though. Will be doing the remaining FA signings tomorrow night and asking for everyone's depth charts and such. @nightprowler. I will have your roster sent to you tonight so that you can get all of your FA offers in before the announcements tomorrow night.
Keen if anyone wants to earn some kudos they should figure out how to post hoops hype salary in posts
