He's up there, but sixth men are usually pretty easy to get for an okay price. I'd say the non rookie contract (Luka for instance)easy winner is Christian Wood, who's roughly playing at a 2nd team/3rd team all NBA level at 14m/yr for 3 years.

It grinds my gears that he's not a Detroit Piston. Imagine if they had he and Wood, this team would only need to hit on a PG and fill out the rotation, to be a playoff team. He could have signed for 20m/yr and be massively outplaying it. Troy Weaver you fool.

It’s called NBA Top Shot. It’s like card collecting but it’s all digital highlight clips instead of cards. And you can trade the clips on a blockchain marketplace - so you need to sign up to a blockchain thing called Dapper.

You can buy clips directly from the marketplace but it’s way better to wait until they release a ‘pack’ of clips like a pack of cards. Today I got lucky and was online when they released a pack of 5 clips for $14. They seem to still be testing their systems and this was their biggest release of 50,000 at once. You have to join a queue and then once it’s your turn you have 15 min to complete the purchase.

It’s genius because the packs they sell prob cost them gently caress all to make and they make a killing back - today they sold 50,000 digital packs at $14 each. And then they take a small cut of every sale on the marketplace, so they’re double dipping!

It’s all complete bullshit and I prob just got lucky. My Taytum clip sold for $7, the RJ Barret and Otto Porter clips are only selling at $2-$4 each. But the Wall clips sold for $158 (the marketplace kept $8) and if the Lebron one sells for $148 that’s $300 from a $14 pack.

Drummond is sitting because he's started showing zero effort on the court and is just making GBS threads up the offense. He wasn't showing up and being professional, as Draymond implies.

You can but you won't ever see it done due to a player's performance. That would open up a massive can of worms that neither the NBAPA or the owners want to deal with.

Pretty sure you only can through extending a 4 year deal in year 3 and replacing the final year. Unless I'm forgetting something?

You can! But it's rare, and the contract needs to be longer (4+ years), so Wood can't renogiate.

And you can only give raises and the CBA has clauses to punish players for extended sit outs, so you usually don't see guys angle for this as much.

I have said it before, but everyone gets their career high against the Jazz. It was at least fortunate to see the Jazz win. This year they look so much different than the past two years where games got away from them and they were never able to claw back.

Now it is just heave 50 threes and assume 40+% are going in. I like this current iteration very much.

They got Jerami Grant instead for a similar role, on a slightly bigger but still good deal, and he also seems to be outplaying his contract and I think was the better bet to do so.
