The clippers are real good and I think them or the nets are the "actual" best teams but I don't think the nets are ever going to actually be healthy (they might still win out even if not though). Soaking of Nets, does Blake get a new contract next year? What does that look like?

2019 Raptors were one of the best playoff defense teams ever, with a supernova level Kawhi on offense. I think that team will be very underrated in years to come.

As good as Kawhi was, the Raptors had something like, six guys averaging double digit points in the finals. That was an incredibly deep team, and everyone wants to write them off because of the Warriors' injuries. As though they didn't have that depth going for them. Or as though they didn't have the second best record in the league. Including a better record than the mighty Warriors, come to think of it. They were very predictably elite, and then they won. I don't know what people want, here. You could see that was an absolutely elite team from fuckin' space. And calling the 2014 Spurs a worse team than this year's Clippers strikes me as insane. After they beat the Mavs, they basically crushed everyone else, just rolling over people effortlessly. Clips were a fantastic team, and would have made fine champions, but they ain't got poo poo on the 2014 Spurs.

I would be shocked if he gets more than mid-level exception, because the Pistons are still paying him

I genuinely don't know, is Blake worth a MLE at this point? Or is he utterly cooked because of his explosiveness being gone due to injuries?

I don't think i would give him a full MLE but he looked a lot bouncier with the Nets. I think what probably happens is that he signs to close to the minimum to stay with them and go for a ring since he's already getting his big contract from the Pistons

What was cooked about him? He's not jumping over a Kia Blake, but he was legit defending against Giannis, dunking, and still able to shoot some 3s. This is the best he's looked in years.

Brooks is the exception, but he wanted to stay and he was an RFA anyway

Blake's got some leverage that Brooklyn can really use him and he's a known quantity for that team, but something like 1 + 1 player option minimum contract would make sense given the situation.

The free agent market is so bad that I won't be shocked if Blake gets an MLE offer.

I meant mid-level exception is an absolute ceiling, like there’s no way any team would give him more money than that, the 5 million or $3 million deal is so much more likely

It's a gamble, but worse guys are gonna get the MLE this year, so I'm not sure it's a bad gamble.

That's some big shade thrown at Brogdon, who played some real fantastic ball before the break this year.

I was reading the reddit about the browser game BasketballGM and someone was asking for advice because they created a custom character with Ben Simmons's stats and set it as a PG and after a season or two the game kept moving it to forward or even center

This is such a potentially depressing offseason for so many teams. Every roster I look at it seems someone good is going to need to either get paid or is gonna leave and the replacement options all suck and so few teams have actual cap space.

The FA class sucks but it feels like the teams with actual cap space are going to get guys on really good deals.

I mean they played him with Favors forever which is way worse and were usually good in the regularly season. They could stagger them a lot and use Simmons as the center when teams try to go small in the playoffs as a different look. I dunno Conley is old and hurt all the time and Jazz need someone who can guard on the perimiter so bad lol
