In a way this is a hosed up move from a labor standpoint because Atlanta got away with being under the salary floor for all year then a week before paying it out to the players who actually played on their team this year, it all went to Crabbe a week before the deadline.

There's only like 5 max dudes, two of them are going to the same team, so you really can't be picky.

Spacebump posted:It's more likely Maxi or Free Agent starts than Powell. I really like this assuming Powell is coming off the bench. A bench big that doesn't take dumb shots and is willing to share the ball on offense is cool. I think Powell opting in was the best case scenario for keeping him on the roster. You watched more than I did this year and I can understand disliking him. I guess it will really depend on what his role is next year. I don't dislike Powell but I think a team with terrible holes in the shooting, rebounding, and defense departments should be more discriminating about giving long contracts to guys who can't shoot, rebound, or defend.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVD-41RftZc I didn't see this video as part of the Kyrie to the nets news yesterday. Stephen A. seems to be carrying Kyrie's water here, saying he's leaving the Celtics because Brad Stevens and Danny Ainge wanted Gordan Hayward to start.

Doesn't the salary floor calculation account for actual game checks, not what that years cap hit ends up? What I mean is I don't know for sure this circumvents the salary floor.

Yup, it was changed last CBA. quote:The league’s new Collective Bargaining Agreement closed that loophole. Now, players traded or acquired during the season will only count toward a team’s minimum salary for the amount that they were paid by that team. So the Bulls can’t simply acquire a player earning $7MM to get above the salary floor — if 40% of the season remains, that player would only count for $2.8MM toward Chicago’s minimum team salary, with the other $4.2MM applying to his old club’s minimum team salary.

Highlights:quote:Griffin is pursuing a combination of assets that include an All-Star player, a young player with All-Star potential and two first-round picks, league sources said. Those wants are on a sliding scale. For example, the better the player, the softer the asks on the draft picks -- and vice versa. quote:So far, Los Angeles and New York teams --- the Clippers and Lakers, Knicks and Nets -- have been among front offices inquiring with New Orleans, league sources said.

This will be interesting. Usually the selling team has a bit of urgency under them to make a deal, but with Zion coming New Orleans knows they will be able to drown out any trade drama. Obviously they won't get what they're asking for here, but it might set a new bar on what exactly you can get back in these situations.

It's too bad that Lou Williams didn't make the all star team like he should have in 2018 because then the Clippers could do that deal . . . . I guess technically the Spurs could do the deal, I haven't heard them in the mix. Any interest in DeMar DeRozan? Dejonte Murray? http://tradenba.com/trades/HkQeQpnC4

Rick, I think the trade you posted on Twitter is pretty dang great: I'm not excited about Jackson, but Beal and two draft picks with high probability of turning into rotation players is incredible.
