Any thoughts on where Mike might land in free agency? Is there an NBA where he fits or could he end up back in Europe?

There’s no way he’s heading back to Europe. Only question in my mind is his salary.

Agree. He may have to wait awhile to sign however, as the salary cap issues and exceptions are complicated - and a lot of teams need to make their pitches to the top players first.

At this point a multi year deal in the range of 3 years $20-24 million is what I’m thinking. Near 7 footers who can run and shoot 3’s don’t grow on trees and Mike is in his prime now.

Blazers are looking at Mike with a $5.7 million slot available so perhaps the $5-7 mill range is what he’s looking at, but I don’t know much about the way NBA contracts work. I read he could have a cap bit of $9 million. Other PF Mike potentially could compete against for a spot are Anthony Tolliver, Marcus Morris, Ed Davis, Mike Scott, Frank Kaminsky, Deagan Bender and Jonas Jerebko.

Mike has reportedly agreed to a deal with Oklahoma City. No contract terms available yet.

Blazers would have created an interesting situation. Mike and CJ together. A PL dream.

The Bucknell website points out that the Bison once played a couple of pretty good games in the same arena where Mike will be playing.

Am I the only one that still fears that Simien shot is going to go in, even after 75 times watching it clank off the rim?

No. Or that McNaughton's hook shot is going to clang off the rim.

Muscala was given a chance to reevaluate his decision and has chosen to stay with Oklahoma City

Seems odd to me that Sam Presti would aggressively pursue Mike with only an offer at the veteran minimum of roughly $2 million. Why would Mike agree to this if his market value would warrant a longer term deal at a higher salary?

Maybe Mike could have gotten 2/5.5 or 2/6 if he waited around but it seems like it was a good off-season to find a landing spot early. If he didn't commit to two years at the veteran minimum in early July, he might have still been searching for a one-year vet minimum right now with all the musical chairs going on.

We know for a fact he signed for the minimum?

It's certainly been a disappointing start to the season for Mike. Especially with OKC performing much better than expected. Here's hoping he gets the shooting headed in the right direction and gets some more run.

Injury to Nerlens Noel has opened the door for Mike to get significantly more playing time over the past week and half. Had his 2nd double figure scoring game of the season on Monday and put up some solid rebounding numbers. His shooting percentage remains pretty atrocious.

Good game last night for Mike in a loss to Toronto. 31 min, 17 pts, 6-11 FG, 3-7 3FG, 2-3 FT.
