  1. You have to imagine Orlando is gambling on Wagner getting his 3PT shot back and continuing to develop with Banchero. The max is doubly hard to navigate for teams like Orlando who have a difficult time attracting free agents. They either overpay initially with the chance of it becoming a good deal or trade/lowball them and piss off the cornerstone of your franchise.
  2. Because role players who play with LeBron tend to get paid.
  3. I don’t know about that one. I think adding Playoff P on a max deal may be the key to getting Embiid out of the second round.
  4. I'm still blown away Dallas is about to snake an elite 3 PT shooter for Davis Bertans money. Such a great value if they can bring it home now.
  5. Adding in the context that he's only going to be making about 4MM a year more than Josh Green should ease a lot of the concerns.
  6. Nico is unbelievable at his job. Just makes it that much more irritating that we wasted so many years of Dirk on Hail Mary's from Donnie.
  7. Don't fault the guy at all for taking the extra few million when this deal was bigger than his entire career earnings up to this point. Interesting to see that the Clippers didn't feel like the waiting period was really an obstacle to negotiation. Will be interesting to see if any more clarification comes out of that. Not sure that Dallas pivots to Naji if they knew they could lock in DJJ for under the full MLE unless they had some sort of indication Klay was coming into the fold. I could see them being upfront with DDJ and telling him to get paid a bit more while retaining a starting role.
  8. I’m sure Nico saw writing on the wall when DJJ switched to Klutch.
  9. I really like this pickup. Grimes actually has a fair bit of upside compared to what THJ is at this point. I like the chances of getting something meaningful out of him in a big contract year. Guys with this type of defensive tenacity should thrive under a coach like Kidd.
  10. That is a perfect example to demonstrate one of the reasons why A&M will always be in the shadow of Texas. You can’t comprehend that for a single second Texas was more concerned with Texas rather than A&M. It’s ingrained in the Aggy identity.
  11. God help CDC if the legal eagles of Tex Ags get on the case.
  12. Reading through the replies from last night is pure gold
  13. Just when you think the schadenfreude can't get any better..
  14. Yeah, I tend to agree. I think he’ll be relatively successful given the state of the team he is starting with.
  15. Embiid shot 23% and 11% from three in the fourth quarter this year’s playoffs. The crazy thing is that isn’t even his worst playoff statistic.
  16. Jokic and Giannis are very reasonable takes. I can’t imagine there are many GM’s who would have Embiid over Luka given his injury history and annual disappearing act in the playoffs.
  17. Mavericks fans are sensitive yet you complain and continue to argue when presented with stat after stat that proves you blatantly wrong?
  18. Well said. It’s ok to be disappointed but everyone in here would be lying if they claim to have expected a finals run 3 months ago..
  19. Barely worse than Tatum at 27/74. That number is gonna better after the stat padding tonight though.
  20. Gotta tip cap to Boston. They were always the better team. Magic had to run out somewhere given the limitations of the roster. Hell of a run and nothing to be ashamed about.
  21. In theory, sure. If Kleber isn’t closing out on shooters anyway and isn’t a threat to hit a three since coming back what is the point?
  22. Gafford had played 4 minutes. Why not put Gafford in if you were trying to avoid Lively picking up a second?
  23. Maxi at the 5 is a huge fucking mistake. Holy shit is he so bad post shoulder injury
