Jake Fischer: Spencer Dinwiddie is nearing an agreement with the Washington Wizards that will pay roughly $60 million over three years, per league sources. Talks are still ongoing in their Los Angeles meeting

Sir, I'm going to need to see your ticket.

LeBron trying to get Melo and Russ a championship instead of CP3 is very exciting.

Just saw the Nuggets signed Jeff Green. Pretty indifferent to it although he had some good moments last year with the Nets. More importantly, does this complete his quest to play for all 30 teams?

Their plan to build around Beal is to sign another shooting guard?

Thank goodness. Low key the best player besides Fox last year. Had me nervous. I called that $14/4 too! Makes sense they’d have to give him some control and further incentives to get him to stay.

When LeBron drags Russ and Melo to a ring you have to give in and consider him the goat, right?

According to Bob Marks the Wizards are going to have to send back Kuzma and Montrez to get the Dinwiddie trade done. He is wrong a lot but sometimes he’s right and if he is right about this the Lakers really slammed the window on themselves.

Melo would probably have a ring if he stayed in Denver, but yeah LeBron rocks. Who cares if he can play the 1? He's basically a less skilled Bradley Beal. Dumb signing.

Yeah, Holmes either has a lovely agent (how could a guy named Pedro Powers be lovely) or he reallllly loves Sacramento.

And who wouldn’t. Are you aware that Sacramento fixture Gunthers was named by Food & Wine magazine as having the best ice cream in California.

so the Mavs still have a 10.8m TPE (or the non tax MLE if they can get the Knicks to SnT Bullock into the TPE) so I was looking for some targets

George Hill (76ers can pick up the guarantee and ship him over)
Al Farouq-Aminu
Jeremy Lamb
Derrick Favors

.. maybe Satoransky? Does New Orleans want him? I guess they do.

... if the Mavs can free up their MLE, they can maybe sign DeMar (eh), or Danny Green or Josh Hart.

Why? The deal he got is the *reason* why they would trade him - they want to reset the rookie clock since he's like 4 and 5 years older than Poku and Giddey and they might not think they'll compete with him any time soon. So they went to see if they could get a big haul for him.

just churning out rookie teams of random values like a sports gachapon.

You can't really keep players around for more than a few years, especially if your team is either winning or losing all the time. The warriors were an exception because of the constant injuries and lower draft slots. In 4 years the players they've drafted will either be keepers or not, they can add guys in free agency to address holes. The only teams doing something like a draft guys and keep them all model is Orlando, and that just gets really expensive, even when the guys aren't doing that well.

OKC's plan is to gather as many assets as possible, turn those into more assets, and use those to get the first pick in the Victor Wembanyama draft. Sure, develop talent, entertain the crowd, try and win home games, but in the end all Sam Presti wants is Vic. He's the French whale

Probably! But the team is going nowhere, and you're paying a rookie max to SGA only to probably shut him down halfway through the season so you can keep tanking.
