During last summer’s free agency, many teams splurged with signings that seemed to be overpaying some players due to the increase in the salary cap.

They managed to sign Jeff Green, Bismack Biyombo, and traded Victor Oladipo for Serge Ibaka (who for the present time is a one year rental), which along with Biymbo creates a logjam in the frontcourt. It creates some conflict on […]
