2022-2023 NBA Season Thread

Uhhhh…how? Haha

I doubt Van Fleet keeps a “days til season is over” thing on his wall.

On this day in 2007 LeBron scored 25 consecutive points in the 4th quarter of the ECF.

Why would the Nets want two guys on the back end that are high salary? They can do better with their pieces.

Horford isn't high salary (10M and 9M over the next two) and I was going to send them Atlanta's #15 pick in this year's draft in this hypothetical.

 

[shopson67]

I don’t see how that makes them better. If Harden walks they should hang on to Harris and go shopping next summer.

Unless he opts in, that's a S&T hard cap for Philly too.

 

[shopson67]

I don't see how the Raptors should do it without Maxey.

Van Vleet can walk for nothing (player option).

 

[The Q]

Van Vleet can walk for nothing (player option).

Sixers have zero cap space

And FVv turned down a slightly less than max extension (most they were allowed to offer)

It would need to be a deal

Thanks for everything, Bob....all the best, and good luck.

Lacob: Dubs haven't tabbed Myers replacement

Kirk Lacob and Mike Dunleavy Jr. are expected to have more prominent roles in the Warriors organization, but Joe Lacob says they haven't made a decision on Bob Myers' replacement.

Same to you, Scott.....

Harris doesn’t have a player option after this year. Thank God! There’s one level of this contract Elton Brand and Brett Brown didn’t fuck up.

I don’t even like FVV over Maxey. That’s a backwards move.

Not short term

Long term though it likely will be

Raptors are faced with potentially getting nothing for him. Their leverage (overall, not just with the Sixers) isn't strong with FVV.

I would consider FVV to be a combo guard next to Maxey, not starting ahead of him. FVV seems better suited to playing off the ball at least some of the time.

Maxey shoots the 3 better, is younger and cheaper.

Q was saying Toronto shouldn’t do it for Harris expiring and the draft pick that they should also demand Maxey. I’m saying at that point I’m out. I think it’s dumb to be the team shipping two players for one AND you’re trading the best player in the deal.

Except you aren’t

You’re trading the best player in the deal 2+ years from now

My thought is the sixers agree with this

But they have no way to get fvv without tor playing ball.

You take FVV then. He’s not worth that to me. If Maxey is going out, it needs to be in a deal for a big fish not a guy who isn’t even a top 50 player.

I'm down for Philly wasting more years of Embiid's prime.

The guy I really want from the Raptors is OG Anunoby.
