NotWearingPants posted:Remember when Magic was like, "Build a team around LeBron you say? Get me the Shaqtin a Fool top 10 video now!" Ehh, there was no path to building a real team around Lebron last year without the AD trade. Lebron signing there was always about this off-season. I mean, Magic did a crappy job even putting a "tread water" team around him but ultimately I don't think you get anything more than 1 year contracts and the ceiling was probably first round knockout or so anyway. euphronius posted:I don’t even know what Williams Rational Celtics Poster is referring to Yeah, I didn't either at first. A De'Aaron Fox for two kinda-crappy draft picks and Robert Williams. Ok. Bagley for Jaylen Brown is probably pretty fair, but I think I'm higher on Brown than most people.

CRISPYBABY posted:Yeah I got confused cause the discussion I've always heard about supermaxes was about guys who qualified on the new rules like curry/wall/westbrook etc and not the 10+ year players. My B. The 3 maxes are somewhat colloquilly referred to as "Rookie-Max" or "Mini-Max", Max, and Super-max. But yeah, it's confusing. Add in the fact that you can be given a contract that is ABOVE your max if the salary cap grows slowly, though that hasn't happened in a while.

No, Kawhi is one of the few players that a 1+1 is absolutely no risk for him. Regardless what he does he should probably not sign long term. There are only like 3 or 4 guys in the league who should think like that though.

xbilkis posted:Hmm well, I guess he could just want to make sure he secures one last long-term deal now rather than risk hitting the free agent market next year at, uh...lemme look this up right quick...age 28??? Maybe that, but he's also 1 ACL tear away from probably being a minimum guy. If you think he's a solid starter 12-18 is the market for that and securing more long-term money makes sense.

I mean, if you bench and ignore Hayward your team doesn't have enough to be a contender. If you can get him back at or close to his 16-17 levels of production you are. It makes sense to put some focus on bringing him along rather than give up on the guy his first season on the floor. Also, he played the 7th most minutes and his usage of 19% is not, like, sky high or anything. If Kyrie had a problem with a guy playing 25 minutes a night and taking slightly less shots that Marcus Morris that seems like its mostly Kyrie's problem. Seriously, Kyrie had problems sharing the floor with Lebron James.

straight up brolic posted:2 first round picks for Conley is good I guess, but its a late first and a heavily protected future, and honestly the contracts going back to Memphis are not good. Conley is "only" 31 but I probably overrate guys on the back end of their career arc. I would thought they could have gotten Favors and I'm surprised they stayed with Utah as a partner when that was taken off the table.

Bashez posted:I like Conley but his window does not align with Mitchell and Gobert. I mean, Gobert's window is right now. He's 27 this offseason, he's probably not getting a whole lot better. Mitchell still has growing to do, but I think he'll develop a lot better with someone like Conley next to him than trying to hero-ball as much. Plus we just had a championship where the 2nd best guy in the playoffs was a 3rd year, 24 year old. Utah is right to strike now. I know you're saying the trade was good, but as far as timing I think this works pretty well.

Not really. He's pretty old already and didn't really do anything super useful last year. A change of scenery might help him as Utah is a tough team to find open shots on but in general I thought he was pretty invisible most of the time I watched him.

Bashez posted:You really put Siakam ahead of Lowry? I think so. I'd probably say it was closer to a tie, but it forced to choose I think Siakam's scoring and constant transition threat was more important. I mean, Toronto really got help from a ton of guys on that roster though, so it's kind of an academic-only type argument.

Middleton is pulling the Cavaliers "You can't sign anyone else anyway so overpay me" trick. Question will be if the Cavs want to call his bluff. I don't know that anyone would offer the 4 year Max but I dunno. Maybe New York gets desperate.

straight up brolic posted:Also the Bucks could sign Horford with cap-hold ideosyncrasies, have Bledsoe, Brogdon, Middleton, Giannis, and Horford and be prohibitive favorites but I guess he doesn’t want to go there I think Horford would need to take like a 10m a year contract, which seems unlikely since he just opted out of $30 million.

straight up brolic posted:Nah the Bucks basically have 25M right now and could free up an actual max if they dumped DDV and Ersan on some poor fool Giannis -26.8 Bledsoe -15.6 Snell -11.5 Ilyasova -7 Wilson & Donte- 6 Cap Holds: Middleton-19.5 Brogdan -3 Still paying Hawes and Sanders 3.8 Assume they renounce everyone else and ignoring roster space charges that's 94.2 million, but you also have roster holds that suck up another 5 million or so. Cap next year is 109. Bucks don't have much room here, and they still need to sign Lopez with cap space or an MLE.

Adun posted:They've made the NBA finals the same number of times as the Orlando Magic in the last ten years. Fine they had a great 5 year stretch 15 years ago 2010 was more than 10 years ago? Only 7 teams have been in the finals since the Celtics last were in it, that seems like a rough metric to measure a team by.

Nope works straight up: http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=y4or3qrz And Wiggins has the rookie-max, the smallest max. He'd take up one of the 5-year slots, but you have 2 of them and and that probably isn't a big deal.
