2024 NBA Offseason

It’s weird I’m seeing him with a 5m salary for 24/25

Did Knicks have an option and decline it?

He shows as a cap hold on Spotrac.

I agree.

thunderc didn't want to pay too much but fuck it. That is called going all in.

They addressed both areas of need on a team that finished 1st out West.

Win.

 

[thunderc]

Good deal. He fits them perfectly IMO.

I know I gave you a hard time last season but Presti has them on the verge of being a serious WC contender for years.

Gonna have to pay the piper in 4-5 but you got a damn good team.

Got to pay the piper sooner than that with Jdub and Chet but the pieces are locked up now. Integrating Hartenstein won’t be as easy as some think. They can’t play 5 out with him on the floor but he’s not a guy that will demand a certain role, neither is Caruso. Daugneault will figure it all out.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Wow, 29M AAV.

Oh, shit.

I thought it was over 4.

Still, great pickup.

But goddamn….lol

It would need to be for elite young talent and/or extremely high value picks. Moving max contracts around with these new apron rules isn't going to be easy moving forward. How many times will you find a team with an almost empty cap like Philly this year to absorb that big of a free agent? Aggregating salaries hard-caps teams, which can prevent follow-up moves. Philly is in the position to do exactly what they are doing, need to take advantage of that prior cap planning.

Agreed. Given who opted out, Paul George was the best option the Sixers could go for. I don't think there was any other realistic option.

Winner, winner, chicken dinner!!!!

Completely screwing up the market for big men. Hopefully not. Other deals looking like steals

Claxton got 25 mill per and you could argue iHart is better since he is a nore complete player....

So, what order are we ranking Philly, Knicks, Champs on paper?

Can’t knock Philly on health without knocking the Celtics and Zingers too.

Only difference is, the Celtics have proven they can win without a healthy Kristaps.


Philly would not fare as well.

But the Drummond signing mitigates that a bit for me.

I love the Nova Knicks.

But whose guarding Embiid?

1. Champs

2. 6ers

3. Nova Knicks

 

[Shanemansj13]

Ohh god

I get it, OKC needed a rebounder but still a pretty big overpay for a role player. $30M per year is crazy

I guess they either flip Robinson or it makes sense to just keep him

5 years and 270 mill for some youngster is craaaaaazy.

Why do you hate Philly?

That was for people discussing Milton but yeah....

Package Robinson with somebody and a 1st rounder maybe to move Robinson.

Bidding war.

Luckily, it’s only a 3 year deal.

They had to spend the money somewhere.
