Yeah this year is tough to use as a baseline due to injuries and what was now clearly lasting Covid effects on Tatum. I actually look to this year's Knicks as a good example of finding useful FAs to round out a roster. If the Celtics has Bullock and Burks instead of Ojeleye and Grand Williams it would have made a huge difference.

Calidus posted:It’s like Boston and Hayward you can’t let him walk for nothing. This comes up a lot and I never know what it means. A contract is a thing with a predetermined ending. Once it's up, you have no claim to that player, unless bird rights stuff comes into play I guess. Is the presumption here they should have done a sign and trade or something? This comes up a lot with Kyrie and others. Did Cleveland get anything when LeBron left for LA?

fast cars loose anus posted:No but no one gave a poo poo because he had brought them a ring; also superstars are different. If they wanna play their deal out and then go wherever there's not a whole lot you can do about it; after all what are you gonna do, trade LeBron James? I still don't understand what a team is supposed to do about a player after their deal is up. They have no leverage at that point, an unrestricted free agent can do what they want. Also Hayward wasn't traded for unless I missed your meaning.

Rick posted:The teams don't have leverage, but there are reasons that they might want to do a sign and trade, and if a player wants to go somewere they can only do a sign and trade to then teams regain some leverage over the team that's trying to get the dude, at least. I guess I'm just reacting to the notion I hear in podcasts (and earlier in this thread) about letting a guy walk with no return. I guess I see that as the default state of the end of a contract if there isn't a mutual agreement to resign.

Cap math makes sense, thanks. That said, if a player wants to walk and their desired destination has the cap space (a la Kyrie and Brooklyn) the original team can't really do anything about it.

Richardson and Covington seem to get consistently overrated. Not in the sense that they arent useful players, just that people assume they will make a significant impact when they are role players that effectively round out a solid roster.

I keep getting push notifications hypothesizing a Kemba for KP trade. Ugh

Lockback posted:Yeah, its not a torn ACL or anything but some Team USA reps would have been a good opportunity for him I think. This is true. I also assume a big benefit toward being in those things is the glad-handing with other star players and totally legal and cool tampering opportunities.
