Some interesting FA pieces that could sign for contenders for the MLE or whatever, maybe taking a discount:

Millsap
Gallinari
Wes Matthews
Davis Bertans
Serge Ibaka
Derrick Favors
Jerami Grant

The market really sucks so who knows what some of these guys will do. Some of them will have a hard time getting their true value.

Bertans is probably the best one other than FVV to be actually available and he is get an insane contract from someone.

Yeah, I kind of imagine FVV is just gonna get a deal from someone with cap space or he'll re-sign in Toronto as the heir apparent to Lowry.

It doesn't seem like any of these guys outside of maybe Matthews would sign for MLE money or maybe Millsap. Maybe I'm misreading this offseason.

This is the 2020 cap space and I think teams wanna try to keep their options open for 2021:

1 ATL $44.3M
2 NYK $42.4M
3 DET $30.0M
4 MIA $21.9M
5 CHA $19.4M
6 PHX $18.9M

When MJ retired, did everyone automatically give him GOAT status right then and there? Was there no pundit debate about Kareem or whoever else

MJ was basically the consensus GOAT after the first 3-peat, yeah. I think Magic or Bird would be the most commonly thought of #2.

Davis is ranked way too high. He's lucky he's on Lebron's team. And what did Kawhi do to deserve being ranked above Harden?

The thing about Davis is that he's a super-star level player that fits perfectly with other superstar level players because he's both like a top 5 defender (maybe #1) and top 5 off ball guy (probably #2? behind Steph). And if the mid-range he showed in the playoffs is real, you can actually lean on him to give you some self-created offense reliably.

He's also versatile enough that you can basically play whatever defense you want, you can pair him with a traditional big man or play him alone at the 5. Yeah, I mean, he's very very good from that standpoint.

Seems weird to be worried about parity right now when it feels like there's 8 teams that have a decent shot at the title next year (4 Semi-Finalists + Clips, Bucks, Nets, Warriors).

The Mavs also feel like they're potentially one move away.

I feel like the team is goofy enough that it can get hot and take out anyone in a 7 game series but the defense is just pitiful.

Also - he may well suck, but it seems odd to me that people here are so down on him for being poorer than the other owners. A weird vibe given the politics of the thread.

I imagine it's not his actual broke-ness that is attracting the derision but something else?

he bought a championship-level team and started pinching pennies

Velveeta being a PPG and RBIs guy is very on brand.

seems like velveeta has a pretty good understanding of the advanced metrics tbh.

I kind of don't trust any individual one-number metric but if you kind of know where they fall short you can adjust mentally. and also unconsciously bias it to make it say what you want.

I spent way too long trying to figure out which was the Phoenix Suns starting 5 and I still have no idea.


They're the bottom middle. See how it's split into Western and Eastern conferences? They're the bottom right of the Western conference.

Booker top left, Ayton Top Right, Baynes Bottom Right, I assume.. Rubio in the middle?

come 2021 the Sixers will still have Tobi/Joel/Ben on about ~100m, plus J-Rich has a player option, and I assume they would pick up the Shake and Tisse options. All told that's ~120m.

He's ok as a mug you type perimeter defender since I don't see great lateral movement. And he's a 36% 3pt shooter which isn't bad but well below the level people attribute to him. And he's banged up all the time

It's fine depth signing but he's not replicating those KCP games from the bubble

yeah I mean he's not a sharpshooter but the Lakers don't really have any of those anyway
