Raptors center Jakob Poeltl has agreed on a four-year, $104 million contract extension with the franchise through 2029-30, sources tell ESPN.
Saved the Pacers from a headache, though the price is not too steep. Weird move though. Gary Harris, Trent Jr & Turner and losing Lopez & Lilliard (just for arguments sake) would not sway me if I were Giannis. It’s nice but that doesn’t even beat the Celtics orPacers, let alone Celtics or Knicks Guess it’s alright, but definitely not a guy who’s going to get you anywhere.
Free agent sharpshooter Tim Hardaway Jr. has agreed to a one-year deal with the Denver Nuggets, sources tell ESPN. THJ Cam Bruce Jonas That’s a nice offseason.
THJ might as well be Curry or prime Klay Thompson when he plays the Rockets. You already know he's going to make everything against us when we play the Nuggets. Valancunas gives Sengun fits too. We've got to avoid them in the playoffs at all cost.
Free agent shooter Duncan Robinson has agreed to a three-year, $48 million deal with the Detroit Pistons, sources tell ESPN. Detroit is trading Simone Fontecchio to Miami to acquire Duncan Robinson in a sign-and-trade, sources tell ESPN.
Congrats to Duncan Robinson, who's earnings nuke his production on the court. I guess the Pistons thought he was the best remaining player and just decided to buy the guy. IMO, it's doubtful any other team would have paid that much.
This is who I wanted as our third center, someone young and bouncy as a contrast to Adams and Sengun. Not washed up Capela.
Sengun would be facing Jokic anyway. And Adams has JV figured out. Steven Adams is hardly one to shy away from contact on the basketball court. But unlike many of his peers, the seven-footer from New Zealand isn’t known to participate in talking trash. That is, until an encounter with Toronto Raptors centre Jonas Valanciunas. “Perhaps my new signing was a boost to my confidence because I decided to properly respond to trash talk for the first and last time. Jonas Valanciunas from the Raptors was ripping into me all game, totally aggro. When he asked for a fight for the hundredth time, I finally turned to him and said, ‘You don’t want to mess with me. You use a knife and fork to eat your food. I use my hands.’ He didn’t know how to respond to that because it was so dumb, but it got him to shut up for a while, so I guess it worked. I decided to retire from trash talking after that game and go out on a win.”
They're not supposed to look strong right now with Tatum out for a year, and the front office restructuring as they should.
