It's already shaping up to be an offseason to forget for 23-year-old small forward R.J. Barrett.
Widely-known to be a poor presence in the locker room during his tenure in Charlotte, it looks like Barrett's overvaluing of his own self-worth may lead to a sooner-than-expected departure from TMBSL.
"We offered him a damn near max contract on day one of free agency and thought that was more than fair," said one Western Conference general manager on the condition of anonymity (obviously). "After he let us know that he and his agent were petitioning the league to grant him an exception to exceed the agreed-upon max contract stipulations established in the TMBSL CBA, we thought it might be wise to rescind our offer."
"We're hoping Shu Shuvington can come in and fill the role we hoped Barrett could," continued the anonymous GM. "Our lineup is literally made up of five all-stars."
The biggest signing of day three may have come, once again, out of the Pacific Northwest, as the Trailblazers retained the services of 31-year-old point guard Roy Devyn White, who signed for one year and $4,600,000.
"duh, Roy was a fantastic mentor to Andre (Turner) over the last couple of seasons," said Blazers GM Jon-Michael Majic of the signing. "Personally think he is very underrated but i am happy to have him back as my backup point guard and shooting guard."
In other Blazers news, they completed a trade that was first reported by The TMBSL Gazette last week, adding Shareef O'Neal in exchange for two future first-round draft picks and an expiring contract.
"We're pretty happy to be adding another underachieving big man to our roster," continued Majic. "Between Shareef and Dirk, we really think we'll have two perfectly average forwards in a league that seems to be dependent on elite forwards for success."
"We got two first-round picks, added Jon Pierce, and STILL have the cap space to offer R.J. Barrett the max contract he so richly deserves," commented Hornets GM Fecta in between bites of mulch at No Bones Beach Club in Seattle, where he makes his summer home. "All these other GMs are out here playing Checkers while I'm playing Chutes and Ladders."
