2024 NBA Offseason

Yeah they paid a premium to Harkenstein to get him for 3 and not 4 years. Not an accident on their part. That 4th year will be year 1 Chet, Dort and Shai on larger deals.

I believe it’s a 2 + 1 deal.

Mavs - more money and a championship roster. More experienced HC. Luka and Kyrie
Lakers - less money and championship roster. Bron and AD

I think the difference is about $4-5M...

State tax probably too will play a factor.

But so will LA lifestyle.

Rob needs to hold the line on Portland.

Offer them matching salary and a few 2nd rounders. No way Grant is worth 2 1st rounders. I don't even think he is worth 1 1st rounder.

There doesn't seem to be any competition for Grant.

Not really, all comes down to how much each team is willing to give via S&T (and which package the Warriors like more). If it's MLE, it's LA since Dallas already used part of theirs on Marshall

Mavs have a $17M trade exception and the Lakers would probably lose more in a trade. Makes a difference

It’s only a problem if you don’t win.

So it’s only a problem for 29 teams lol

I know.

Wow
This makes sense

Wow
This makes sense

W’s still going to be worse than a handful of teams in the west. Better not give up the farm for Mark

 

[shopson67]

Philly still has 10 mil.

Plus, they can do a sign and trade.

I wonder who is going to go get Bruce Brown?

Sixers are $20M over the cap with the Maxey extension and would be right at the cap even with Maxey's cap hold. They would need to waive Reed and Council's non-guaranteed money to get to $10M I believe?

In the WC championship roster will be changing on a year to year basis. OKC looks like the faves in the WC right now.

 

[shopson67]

Yes

Lakers have the full MLE available via Lebron taking less money. Dallas used part of their MLE on Marshall. Dallas is talking S&T.

 

[shopson67]

They could get another almost 8 mill if they traded Reed for cap relief and a couple 2nd rounders but they could play him at PF for 20mpg or so.

Reed's contract is non-guaranteed, no need.

Being said they are in a war for who can pay Thompson the most and that he is going to get paid.

If Dallas gets Klay they are over OKC.
I still like Minny.
If LA doesn't get Klay I am not sure what they can do to get better than any of those teams.

A clear top 3: Minny, Dallas (w/ Klay) and OKC

 

[Shanemansj13]

Big move

 

[DJ Fieri]

Player or team option?

 

[shopson67]

And?

He fits what the Thunder need. Him and Caruso.

It's more than the 4/100 deal you mentioned as being pricey, that's all

Using the more than the TPMLE portion of their MLE on Marshall hard caps them at the first apron. They are only about $4M under than apron right now. That exception doesn't seem like it impacts much? A S&T for $20-25M is still going to require two salaries from Dallas since they can't exceed that apron.
