Spacebump posted:Don't they not have cap space now? If they could somehow put a decent package together, they could acquire him now and re-sign him using bird rights (which I'm assuming he still has). Though that would be dependent on the Magic 1) giving up this year, and 2) being cool with a package of, like, Jalen Brunson + Dwight Powell + whatever picks the Mavs even have left.

Cuban and LaVar would either become best friends or enemies. It would be fantastic to watch. Also, Lonzo would be a good fit with Luka. https://twitter.com/MaxiKleber/status/1091431804488171520 lol

Away all Goats posted:What is it with so many big men that don't like playing center? Because traditionally centers hang out mostly around the basket and they've all grown up wanting to handle the ball and shoot threes. KG used to list himself as like 3 inches shorter than he actually was because he was because he was afraid that if he was 7 feet tall he'd have to play center and be expected to play like Shaq

There is nothing in the rules preventing a center from shooting threes too. He can play the same way offensively while also filling the more traditional center role on the defense. That's like the most valuable thing about him

July 1st Kyrie isn't a Rose Rule guy anymore, even if he stays in Boston. Edit: Actually not Rose Rule, Designated Rookie Extension. You can have 2 of those guys but you can only acquire 1 by trade.

iospace posted:So what is the rose rule? I did an edit, but the Rose rule allows teams to offer their RFAs coming off rookie contracts bigger contracts if they meet certain criteria. I think Kyrie was actually just a Designated Rookie, which lets teams give slightly bigger contracts but don't have any requirements.

Libertine posted:I mean most of his value is in spreading the floor as a Stretch 4 guy, and you probably don't want to waste him under the basket. Stretch 5 is even more valuable though. He is an excellent rim protector, one of the best in the league when healthy, but he is not the most mobile chasing 4s around the perimeter. He can do it in a pinch, but it's not using him the best way. If you decide to play him as a stretch 4 offensively that means you need a traditional 5, but where is this center going to play on defence? The Mavs already have Kleber who would be an interesting and possibly very good fit at the 4 next to KP at the 5.

When a player was eligible for his rookie extension, teams were allowed to offer the player up to 30% of the salary cap for a single season as the max contract if the player had been voted an All-Star starter twice, made an All-NBA team once or wins Defensive Player of the Year in the season preceding the first season on the extension or in any two of the three seasons preceding the extension, or if the player wins MVP in any of the three seasons preceding the extension. Teams are allowed to have two Designated Rookie Scale Players at a time, but they are only allowed to acquire one of them by trade. Kyrie was aquired by trade. Kyrie and AD are both on the "Designated Player Rookie Scale" extensions. Celtics can resign Kyrie July 1st and then get Davis. Or Trade Kyrie away and get Davis. But not both.

I think Kleber fits well as a match but to answer both you and MV the problem is finding a player (or multiple players) who matches the inverse of KP to pair with such a guy in the lineup. I think guys who wants to sit under the basket and offensive rebound while chasing wings around is an even shorter list.

I think at this moment, the pelicans would rather get complimentary pieces to go with with Jrue. Jrue just signed, he is pretty good. They are just about to get out from under a few bad contracts. Why wouldn't you want players who might replace Davis and get picks. Not replace Davis as a generational player, just at a position? This can change, but right now all the people on this board want them to go full rebuild. I wouldn't, why would a gm in the NBA do this?

Or, take the modern approach and don't play with a designated 'sit under the basket and rebound' player at all. The Bucks don't and are leading the league in point differential - Brook Lopez is taking 68.9% of his shots from three this season, but still plays 5 on defence. The offense uses motion where sometimes it's Brook in the paint, sometimes Giannis, sometimes Middleton or even Brogdon, a lot of the times it's no-one and its 5 out with screens and ball movement trying to get a mismatch on a switch.

KP absolutely needed a stretch four to pair with him which made the Noah signing an even bigger head scratcher than it already was. He also needed an active rebounder which is what made Willy Hernangomez such a good pairing.

I feel like that strategy works because of Milwaukee’s specific personnel (most specifically the uniqueness of Giannis) not because it’s a universally good idea. It would totally work with KP in a version of the Lopez role, Mavs would just probably need way different supporting cast around it to pull it off. I’m interested to see what they do.
