Slowpoke! posted:The new theory is Kawhi signs a 1 year deal with Toronto and a 1 year player option, and eyes a super max in 2021 when he would have 10 years of service. That would give him the flexibility of signing a supermax with Toronto or a 1 year deal somewhere else in 2020 and a supermax in 2021 if kawhi puts down a 1+1 you take that poo poo immediately; by the end of that deal gasol will have retired and you’ll have a better idea of where siakam and og are as long term prospects CRISPYBABY posted:Ahh yeah I just looked it up. loving cap stuff. The supermax and the 10+ year max are both 35% of the cap so it's a semantic game mostly. The supermax just lets you hit that earlier in a long term deal if you jump through a million hoops. it incentivizes teams to develop and keep young talent and the one per team rule keeps anyone from stockpiling young talent (which kind of hosed over the celtics but hey what can you do)

MourningView posted:Can Nola shop the pick if they do that? Doesn't seem like much incentive for them to help LA out and limit their own options i think in that scenario you agree to a deal in principle and make it a multiple team trade after the lakers pick the player that team x tells nola to tell la to sign i’m reading that and it doesn’t sound right though

hayward got lots of touches because he's a fan favorite (for some reason) and represents a big investment for the franchise since he was their first big FA signing of this current attempt at a title run

Kibner posted:I thought Horford was their first big signing? oh right, sorry al anyways stevens has a long-standing relationship with hayward and gave him special treatment even if the boston media won’t admit it; i don’t think it’s strictly because hayward is white but i think the media would be tougher on him if hayward weren’t so gritty if you feel me kyrie is also a thin-skinned baby who didn’t want to be in boston in the first place so this was probably the final nail

MourningView posted:They didn't outright sell the Rondo pick, they got a future first and then immediately turned around and sold that to the Blazers the next year. They also sold the Deng pick around the same time. Basically as soon as they got good again with Nash Sarver decided to just stop ever actually making draft picks. well yeah but did it hurt them long term

Denver and Utah I guess? It makes me physically uncomfortable even typing but think of how good he'd be on the Warriors. i think they’re capped out unless they renounce a bunch of people’s rights so i dunno how they swing it

Lockback posted: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 know the celtics don’t believe in rentals or making productive trades that might benefit another team but i wonder if they’d be interested in moving one of rozier/smart and filler + a pick or two for favors

BWV posted:KD handicapping his future team to help Golden State yet again is some twisted rear end poo poo. found this article quote:"One of the things that is being discussed right now is that the Golden State Warriors would offer Kevin Durant a five-year contract -- $57 million more than he could get signing elsewhere -- let him rehab, and then work with him to be traded, potentially to New York, potentially to somewhere else. It would be their way to sort of take care of him monetarily after what he just went through and also protect the franchise to get some assets “hey it’s a win-win buddy!!!!”

El Gallinero Gros posted:So...is Bol Bol basically Steve Novak or Matt Bonner with hype? that's basically what mv thinks his best case scenario is; in theory, he's far more versatile on offense while being way worse in terms of physical profile (despite being a good half foot taller than either) i think he'll have a hard time doing any sort of work in the paint and he's not gonna be able to fight through screens very well or set one himself, and he has a long injury history; in my mind his best case scenario is he puts on 40 pounds and works hard and ends up being raef lafrentz 2.0 but the more likely one is that he'll just be a situational player for creating mismatches on offense that you can then hide on defense while he periodically contributes a weakside block or two in 15 mpg

The youtube dudes that drone on and make jokes are intolerable yeah; the kind of people who consume draft content want bare-bones production, not personalities to be chummy with videos that convey information should be easily consumable, tightly edited, and present an authoritative tone; it's like the problem with most video walkthroughs of videogames

Danny LaFever posted:That's an unfortunate development for the Kings. they can always extend the QO for only 14m in cap space, let him test the market, and decide if they want to match it at the risk of pissing off his agent (which honestly doesn't matter all that much) but honestly he was kind of so-so last season and there's like 3 dudes behind him on the depth chart and center is a pretty deep position in the nba right now like it sucks he doesn't want to play there but it's not exactly boogie leaving town you know

MourningView posted:WCS seems like a pretty good backup center who happens to play at the worst possible time to be that. i think the kings will cut him for cap flexibility so they can resign barnes and possibly bring in another veteran fa which is probably a win-win if wcs wants to play for a contender or not share time at the 5, and i’m pretty sure the kings currently consider giles/bagley to be their frontcourt of the future so it’s doubtful they’d want to hit the cap just to hoard centers
