Interesting list. It’s weird how some of these guys drafted just last year are already free agents. Pat Connaughton should finally get paid. Obviously, McClung needs to find a great landing spot. He can be a star in this league, given the right opportunity. . Donte D and Ricky Rubio can be solid contributors on a good team.

Those are the unrestricted free agents. There are many more that are restricted free agents but many teams could possibly agree to deals to let them move on to other teams.

If I had a team I would take some of these young guys like McClung, Wieskamp, Reaves for teams that want to take a chance for the future. They are hungry and will bring it every night.

For the better teams they can look at more proven guys like Nurkic, Zubac , Rubio, Dragic and Connaughton to name a few. Hoping for an exciting summer of trades and free agent signings.

I think Ingles was traded after blowing out his knee for salary cap manipulation and will return to Utah if/when he recovers. I've read somewhere that Portland will probably pay Nurkic enough to keep him on board, too. All the other guys are probably 'in play' though: Luka Garza was named to the First Team G-League, which obviously means nothing because no NBA team thinks he can perform against the blacks. Austin Reaves should at least get another minimum offer from the Lakers after filling in well on that mess of a team that LeBron created. Iggy Brazdeikas was by all accounts popular in the Orlando locker room but will have a tough time staying in the league as Orlando drafts several new players, but I've always liked his skill set.

I want to see Iggy in Dallas. They have an international flavor to their team and he would fit in great there. Kidd is also a good coach and would play him more minutes in my honest opinion.

Think about it? Mac McClung wins the NBA G League MVP yet the Lakers can't decide whether he can play or not. Garze is NBA G League 1st Team. Wieskamp had to be 2nd team I'm guessing with out looking. These are 3 young
studs with oozing potential so let's hope a few nba teams can be more racially fair and go sign them and actually play them. They could become all stars in the right situation in a few years.

The NBA Free Agency Period has just started. Nothing big from our guys yet but the Mavs are interested in Goran Dragic. He would be a great older veteran to help if they keep his minutes to about 20 to 25 to keep him healthy. I think
the Mavs should go after Donte Divenczio. He is only 25 and free for the taking. His only problem has been injuries but I think Dallas would be a great spot for him.

Nothing to do with white players, but worth remarking for sure: Kevin Durant is apparently demanding a trade away from the Brooklyn Nets. The oft-injured 34-yr old is in the decline of his career (obviously), has FOUR years left on his contract, but most wildly of all, he apparently intends to force this trade only to either Miami or Phoenix! Neither team can really proffer a commensurate package, so it remains to be seen how the Nets will respond to the demands of this poooor little rich boy, this spoiled baby, this bum. I don't feel bad for the Nets, but they cashed out their future to surround this guy with players: some busted, some were injured, one forced a trade already (Harden), one said he was too emotionally unstable to play any basketball (Simmons), and Kyrie Irving was required to miss 3/4 of the season due to the flu hoax! None of that abdicates Durant from his responsibilities as franchise-face and team leader, though. I keep thinking to myself, "ok, THIS will be the nail that wakes up fans against the NBA!" but in reality, no sports consumer is the least bit self-aware.

Rubio stays with the Cavs. Before he got hurt, the Cavs were rolling.

Kevin Huerter traded to Sacramento, joins Sabonis.

Pat Connaughton stays with the Bucks for a “meager” $5.7 million.

Walker Kessler traded to Utah as part of the package sending Rudy Gobert to Minnesota. Great news for Kessler as he'll have a key role now and a chance to start. Utah also received second-year Argentinian Leandro Bolmaro, who could potentially make the Jazz' rebuilding roster.

Donte DiVincenzo's camp has made noise that the Kings kept him on the bench last season to depress his stat tallies so they could lowball his contract this offseason. Not impossible to imagine. If he does resign, him, Huerter, and Sabonis could all be starters. The Kings have been an anti-white team for years prior to last season's trade deadline. Hopefully their new talent can push them up into playoff contention.

Indiana receives Daniel Theis and Nik Stauskas from the Celtics' bench.

Donte DiVincenzo signed with the G.S. Warriors to a two year deal. I hate this deal. He probably is hoping to get a championship ring as they won the title this year. The Warriors just rarely ever play white guys. This pisses me off that he went there.

On a bright note, Alex Len signed with the Kings so they are trending in the right direction. Great to see.

If Durant does leave Brooklyn I hope it's to Phoenix and not Miami. The Heat just resigned Duncan Robinson and Max Strus to contracts and they have Herro. I don't want to see another ball hog take shots away from our guys. They are a very good
team capable of championships without Durant.

J. Nurkic resigned with the Trailblazers and A. Caruso stayed with the Bulls.

I logged onto CF today just to read a post like this. Well said!

I was reading through the sports headlines and thinking what a clown league. A negro star player can demand a trade at any time for any reason, despite being under contract for 4 years and a ton of money? And it seems like the Nets are dutifully obliging like the cucks they are. Why not just tell Durant to pound sand? He has a contract that he agreed to. Why should he have any leverage?

The Knicks signed the German negro, who looks as White as I do, Isaiah Hartenstein. He should get quality minutes as the backup center and likely have his best season as a pro.

Center Jock Landale traded to the Suns where the jock sniffers seem to think he has a shot of cracking the rotation.

PG Raul Neto to the Cavs.

Despite the rumors the Dallas Mavs didn't want to give Goran Dragic a chance. I'm guessing his age and injuries. Too bad as he can still play at a high level despite being in his mid 30's.

Dragic signed a one year deal with the Chicago Bulls. At least he isn't stuck in Canada any more and he will get to play with Carusso and Vueevic.

It seems like white guards only sign with teams that already have a white guards and they only take minutes from each other. Caruso and Dragic will probably both play under thirty minutes a game this year. I know I always go in and on about this but if you look at the box scores of the Heat, Bucks etc the numbers are pretty apparent. The black guards or wings minutes rarely suffer a loss.

It doesn’t look like the Mavs have even signed any decent black players to help Luka.

So it looks like the LA coach deemed Mac McClung of not even worthy of any minutes on the floor in the summer league yesterday. What a joke!

I feel that way too. Joe Ingles, coming off an ACL tear at age 34, has a low ceiling for minutes and usage this coming year. But he signs for a not-paltry $6.5 million with the Bucks, where I guess he joins the "SG" rotation with Pat Connaughton and Grayson Allen. The NBA is "position-less," but will they play these guys at the same time?

I cant find anything that says he is injured either. If I were him I would say f**k it and expatriate to Slovenia, Croatia or whoever has the best chance of winning over there and start a jihad against american mens basketball. It would be a long shot to beat them in the olympics but its better than being disrespected and treated like a little boy over here.

Didnt they sign a rookie guard as well that looked promising?

I'm assuming Ingles will be used more as a SF by Milwaukee at 6'8. Decent 3pt shooter and passer, below average athlete.

The Lakers are a joke. McClung did play in the first NBA Summer League Game and he led the team with 17 points. He wasn't hurt yet they decided to bench him yesterday. Only in America folks.
