Apart from 2 way deals, almost nothing has happened in the last week.

I don't really do "rumors"

 

[DJ Fieri]

There is an obscure rule in the CBA: If a player on an expiring deal withholds his "player services" for more than 30 days ie sitting out.....the team can prevent you from becoming an UFA the following season.

Per Zach Lowe.

Easily worked around, show up to practice and don’t feel right.

Hopefully this gets done as easy as this makes it sound. Seldom that it happens that way.

OKC Thunder new arena should make fanbase rejoice

The OKC Thunder need a new arena and Mayor David Holt laid out a fantastic plan for the city to get a new arena for the City and team.

I think they should keep it.

Went to a game between the Thunder vs the Nuggets during the Iverson era. Has a cozy feel to it....kind of like a college game.

Yeah no chance, the team is going to expect a new arena. It really wasn’t built for the NBA.

Reading about next year’s FA. What do you guys think about a Big Three for the Sixers of Maxey OG Anunoby and Embiid?

Melton Maxey OG Tucker Embiid.

Bench of Springer, Pat Bev, BBall Paul, plus whatever they can add with the MLE to add to bench.

I don’t think that gets them higher than 4 in the East behind Bucks Celtics and Heat w/Dame.

It’s a good start defensively

Makes them pretty dangerous

Also depends what they get back for harden

 

[fightinfunbags]

How are you affording that??

MElton is gonna cost 20m himself

Melton and Maxey will have low cap holds. Sixers have about 30 million next season including cap holds for Melton and Maxey based on:
1. Cap going up
2. At least 80.5 million in cap coming off the books in Harris, Harden and Korkmaz.

I don’t think Harden is getting dealt.

If he pulls a Harden they put him at the end of the bench and they don’t play him.

If they are only getting meh back from Clippers there’s just no reason to give away the opportunity to have cap space for 2024 FA. Getting rid of Harden only makes sense if it makes Sixers better. I don’t think he gets traded.
