2022 NBA Offseason thread

[Gman]

This article made my day. In a Sixers-centric world, this is Harden insurance. It may not work out this year with Embiid Harden. Maybe Harden is really cooked. Can’t get to the rim anymore. Shoots 40% from the field or worse. Harden opts in for 37 million knowing he can’t get better. Tobias Harris 39 million and Harden’s 37 million come off the books for 24-25. Sixers have the last Big 3 shot in the Embiid tenure with Maxey him and Jaylon Brown. The qualifying offer for Maxey only accounts for 6.5 million of their cap. They can offer Brown a near max.

If no KD trade goes down and Brown stays in green, I fully expect the C's to put a full-court press on to resign Brown before he hits the open market.

I haven't researched enough to know if the C's (as the team that drafted him) have some advantage with Brown... such as the ability to pay him more money.

What is he smoking?

3/40 with a team option

He deserves a better contract than that. But not 4 years 140m.

To whom is the question though. The teams that he fits best that would be contending are unlikely to afford more (unless dumping an equally bad contract).

Does the Durant/Brown trade need to happen for Boston now?

"Jaylen won't let this affect his play, but he won't forget this, either," one Eastern Conference scout said. "The kind of season he had, the team had…I know this is a business and he knows it's a business, but hearing your name in trade rumors, even if it's Kevin Durant in the deal, can't feel good considering how he played against KD and how the Celtics did against the Nets."

He's a perfect fit where he is right now. But if some team out there offers him an insane contract I won't fault him for taking it. But like you said, a contender probably can't afford him.

That usually manifests itself with unrestricted free agency because most teams don’t have enough cap room to sign and the team with Bird rights doesn’t have to worry about that.

[Shanemansj13]

I see you've moved on to cherry picking final stats. Ok Skip.

Hey, it’s the biggest stage for a guy that wants close to max. He better perform up to par at least

Ok fine. 3/40 with a player option lol

Who's my former enemie? Not sure. But my guess is it's someone that can't spell the word enemy.

Can you be a little more specific? I've pissed many people off. Trying to guess who you are is impossible.

But there's no doubt you've had other accounts here.

I'm telling y'all....

We might have the wrong son.

This may already have been answered but he obviously won't get that. I suspect we only will have 1-2 more years of Dray and 2 more years of Klay and then the big 3 era will finally be over.

Because this has never backfired, I feel comfortable saying the Warriors window is closed and they will never win again.

Certainly possible they don't win another with the big 3, and maybe even not with the new young guys later. But at least they will be competitive it looks like
