It's not like the Brooklyn situation. We don't have consecutive pick control of PHX's, and they've traded their swaps in '26 and '28 and 100%...
That logic wrt to PHX doesn’t make sense. At this point it’s pretty much guaranteed PHX will trade KD this summer and get under the second apron...
The Luka and Mark Williams trades crystallized something for me. Front offices can have very different opinions of their own players than you’d...
LaMelo is definitely not an empty stats player. Kind of the opposite - he's a ridiculously good offensive player who takes an extra 4-5 FGA per...
LaMelo has gotta be one of the prime targets going into this offseason. - CHA’s FO has already signaled they want to tank again next year; is...
This coming offseason marks the end of the asset accumulation/appreciation game for us. We've won it. The next stage is choosing. What...
The “competition” with Portland isn’t really other buyers. Williams doesn’t really fit other buyers, because they need a starting C or reliable...
Really makes sense for us to burn a few SRP to roll over some or all of Jeff, Jock, Springer, Holiday, and even Tate for a defensive C platoon...
He’s not going to play for us guys, we’re just buying second rounder for $4M. We’ll cut him probably today to keep the roster spot open for...
I think what we can say about Jalen is that he's shown enough this season on his new contract that, if he were to be included in a trade in the...
I don’t quite understand the Rob Williams market. He of course cannot be a team’s starting center, or even a team’s primary backup center. He...
So your plan is trade for KD against his will, cost him the $120M that Ishbia or Golden State would have been itching to give him, and.... ?
You do realize that trading for Durant means giving him the 2 year max extension he's eligible for this summer? That's $65M in 2027-28, the year...
Stone has been betting the house against KD teams and winning big for 4 years now. And people think Stone wants to trade for him now? KD turns 37...
I’m not endorsing this necessarily, but Kyrie has a player option this summer. Is Kyrie happy with Dallas trading Luka? If HOU traded Dillon...
A three year full MLE is much worse for Fred than say 60/2 with a team option. FVV isn’t going to drop dead after the season. High AAV/short term...
I would be totally shocked if we gave FVV guaranteed money past year 1 (i.e., past 2025-26). For better or worse, in the base case there will be...
Makes total sense. FVV at this point is obviously not going to get a $45M team option picked up next year, and also there's not a market for him...
Tari I think is the easier negotiation. His unusual and open-ended injury issues mean he will be motivated to lock in generational wealth (he's...
The great thing about our team being so good on the court, is that we get to be opportunistic with all our transactions. Like OKC. I strongly...
