finalized a deal with Memphis execs after Spencer had flashes of strong play as a two-way rookie.

Chris Haynes: "We used to report agreements at 6:01, but that time has changed now. The league has locked down on teams, so they have to wait a little"

Thanks, New York Tamperbockers. It‘s almost 1 am here and not a lot happening, should have gone to bed like normal people do…

Free agent forward Dorian Finney-Smith has agreed to a four-year, $53 million deal with the Houston Rockets, sources tell ESPN. Finney-Smith's agent, Michael Tellem of Excel Sports, negotiated terms of the deal tonight with Rockets executives for the 3-and-D wing.

Good for you, GodKing!

The Luka-Dodo-love-affair was short-lived in the second round, wasn’t it? 

Not sure if the Rockets really need him and his profile…

Dorian's been passed around a lot lately so he knows it's all about business now.

Finney-Smith never seemed like a California type of guy.  I'm guessing he's happy about coming back to Texas. Better team too.

You suck, Nico.

They chose DLo instead. 

But your original point still stands.

The Memphis Grizzlies and Cole Anthony’s reps at Excel Sports are working toward a resolution that allows Memphis to create the necessary cap space to renegotiate and extend Jaren Jackson Jr. while giving Anthony the opportunity to find his next destination, sources tell ESPN.

Grizzlies the only team not scared of Adam Silver

is Cole Anthony any good? not gonna pretend like I watched any Magic games

Because Morant is the only player that scares Silver with some silver bullets, I suppose.

Well they're only re-signiing their own guys.

[SleepingHero]

He's crazily overpaid. Hes a good defender. But calls his own shot way too many times to call him a PG. But he has the size of a PG.

Not a bad sparkplug off the bench but I'd choose 10-15 guys ahead of Cole Anthony for that role.

Losing minutes for the last three seasons in a row is never a good sign.

This means the playmaking and scoring guard is entering the market place.

Free agent forward Jake LaRavia has agreed to re-sign with the Sacramento Kings on a two-year, $12 million deal, league sources tell me.

Just some Googlefu:  His best trait seems to be that he's a good culture guy.  The on the court stuff is much rougher with inconsistent being thrown around a lot.

I like him because he‘s a defensive in your face guy whose pressuring and attacking players. Wouldn’t mind taking a flier on him, he‘s only 25 and had great stats a couple of years ago as an up and coming point guard.
