Some useful info regarding trades for players with 1 year remaining on their contract (e.g., Siakam, OG, Jaylen, Dejounte, DeRozan, Paul George):...
Yeah, agree some version of this is the obvious and correct path. - Harden at something less than the max with an out at 3 years or less - A...
OK, let me correct myself. If you have a crystal ball that can tell the future so you know which draft picks will work out and which won’t, you...
You said it yourself, OG is a very good role player. He’s not a top 12 small forward in the league. In value terms, you simply cannot trade the...
You've described a big part of the problem with any team acquiring Siakam. If you give out an asset to get him, you must sign him to an extension....
I don’t think any of these rankings are perfect at all, but they are at least objective third party views of top 100 NBA players ESPN 22-23 Top...
You brought up the Chris Paul comparison, not me. Want a different comparison? A very good but non top 10 player on a difficult to extend...
Nah. Chris Paul is actually a great example proving the opposite. Chris Paul could actually be extended (Anunoby and Dejounte can’t). Chris Paul...
A trade of the #4 pick is very very unlikely to happen. It becomes clear if you look at the landscape of available players, and the recent noises...
That Cam / Claxton trade is a good idea (except that Claxton is a one year rental). If the Nets end up trading Mikal to Portland this seems like...
That article made *more* confident the Nets are trading Bridges than I was before. I was thinking no before, but now I'm thinking they will. This...
Keldon 2022-23: 22.0/5.0/2.9 55% TS -0.9 EPM Poor defender Age 23 $20M/yr KJ Martin second half of 2022-23: 15.3/5.4/1.5 65% TS -1.2 EPM Poor...
These trade proposals don’t just suck, they are insane to a degree that makes me rethink anything I ever read from Kelly Iko. Like, every one of...
I like the ideas but I think there’s no chance Sengun doesn’t start if he’s on the team next year. Pushing to the bench would really hurt his...
A "realistic" full offseason scenario, if these are the organization's goals: 1. Compete for a play-in or low end playoff berth in 2023-24 with...
The truth is that whether or not we get a Thompson twin, the offensive fit for Sengun on any team is constraining as long as he isn’t a threat...
No contender has cap space to offer him more than the MLE. Sign and trades seem very unlikely because Milwaukee would have to take back...
Money. Milwaukee likely can’t keep Giannis, Middleton, Jrue, and Lopez together without exceeding the second apron if Lopez gets a big number in...
OG is both expiring and unextendable. Because of extension rules, the max his contract can be extended is a starting salary of $26M, which he...
I went through the names. There are ~50 players under contract in the NBA that are even arguably worth the #4 pick or more, taking into account...
