2022 NBA Offseason thread

Paul George was traded to the Thunder.

The party occurred when he resigned.

Teams are allowed to communicate with their own free agents before the deadline.

That's right...forgot about that. Thought he went there as a FA.

Heat and Bucks lost 2nd round draft picks this year for Free Agency violations

* see signing Dudes at 12:01.

The NBA is taking free agency tampering a bit more seriously.

So, under the table deals that.come to light will get hammered.

Minny set themselves back years for Joe Fricking Smith.

Who gets those 2nd round picks?

Who gets those 2nd round picks?

Nobody.

They are forfeited.

2 less guys get drafted.

Sucks for them.

Nba also said the bucks only lost a 2 because they failed to complete their deal, meanwhile Miami and the bulls DID and still got the same penalty

My opinion is skeins should get those picks

It’s not fair to punish the kids for this

Would rather go undrafted then be a late 2nd rd pick.

Would rather go undrafted then be a late 2nd rd pick.

Most times, yes.

You get to pick where you go.

But, it has changed a little bit in the last few years since most get at least some guaranteed money.

This is a few years old.

But, illustrates my point.




Of the 132 college players selected in the second round of the last six NBA drafts, 91 of them — or 68.9 percent — received at least a one-year guaranteed NBA contract, meaning they had at least one season where they made the NBA’s minimum salary. This past season, the NBA minimum for a rookie was $815,615, a number that will continue to rise as the NBA’s salary cap rises.

Of the 72 college players selected between 31st and 45th during the last six drafts, 65 of them — or a whopping 90.3 percent — received a guaranteed contract from an NBA team. Just two of the college players that were taken in the top 40 since 2012 did not receive a guaranteed contract during their first season as a pro.

We can go down that same path with the 2016 NBA Draft.

Ben Bentil, the 51st pick to Boston, was the first college player that didn’t get a full first-year guaranteed deal, but he still received a $250,000 guarantee. Two players that were picked after him — Joel Bolomboy and Kay Felder — both received three-year contracts with more than $1 million guaranteed, and two other college players got paid six figures in camp bonuses and partial guarantees before spending the year in the G League.

Especially, in football.

I might owe you money soon.

I still don't believe it.

But, you'd think these guys are at least sort of plugged in, no?

There’s a rumor okc loves ivey, which makes sense since he’s very Westbrooky

That could cause chaos to the draft

Lakers have an available PG who's even more Westbrooky, won't require using that pick......

@CitySushi former #1 Cavs pick that never played a minute for the franchise will return to Cleveland lol

I would be thrilled with $15M/year but that seems like the lowest CLE would offer and way lower Sexton was expecting. I'm thinking somewhere in the middle. $18-$19M/year

Ivey?

I saw Dyson at #12 or perhaps trying to move up from there using #30.

But, Ivey will be long gone by then.

I'm starting to fear the SG-A rumors have legs.

Tre Mann, Giddey, SG-A and Ivey?

Tre Mann obviously won't be a deterrent.

But, they need bigs in the worst way.

If they pass on Banchero/Jabari/Chet for another guard, that's very telling of their thoughts on Shai..... imo.
