seems a forgone conclusion that the heat are gonna give dragic a big one year deal

dano hello please come to the boston celtics who play walking distance from the historic north end home to a thriving italian american community you will feel right at home its literally exactly the same thing as italy

seems a forgone conclusion that the heat are gonna give dragic a big one year deal

Danilo going back to the Nuggets does make sense especially if Grant walks

the heat have a ton of money coming off the books after next season. they can extend bam and sign a max player.

hollinger wrote about this yesterday in the athletic... apparently the math w/ bam gets tougher if he makes all NBA next year. that would make him a $35m/y player along w/ jimmy and make it so they couldn't sign another max guy outright. but he goes into the sign and trade permutations that make it seem pretty easy if a star decided he wanted to sign there. bam is one of those guys who is right on the cusp of all NBA so will def be one of the more important storylines on that front heading into the season

as for this offseason they have like a billion dollars in room. they can re-sign dragic and crowder on big one year deals and still use the full mid level. hollinger mentions giving those guys 1 year deals w/ 1 year options to maximize the sign and trade value.

yeah that's interesting, AD and jokic would pretty clearly stay ahead of bam assuming health so he would be in a battle for the 3rd team with guys like embiid and gobert.

selfishly wish he would stay doing TV but could be cool

not a surprise. i think the best solution if they can't have a season would be to let teams keep their g-league guys around the nba team and facility for practice and stuff but keep all the roster movement rules in place. expanding rosters would create some CBA issues that would be an unneeded headache.

I don't know, trying to get the league MVP on your team could be bad move

"from now on we only want VERY GOOD PLAYERS"

Houston Rockets are interested in trading for Philadelphia 76ers big man, Joel Embiid.

Hearing that everything is available except James Harden.

Embiid to Houston seems like a cool thing from a drama perspective

also westbrook to philly its a win win for sickos everywhere

russ and simmons on the same team might as well pack all 5 players in the paint.

*defensive players

do the rockets have any picks left to unload russ with?

harden and embiid getting quarantined together on the rockets seems ideal but westbrook + simmons surely doesn't work

no xp

rus and ben wld be sick on da break tho i think they shd do it

simmons would have to actually play center on that hypothetical team

that wld be good

ball dominant guy who can't shoot is such a hard archetype to fit into a well-constructed roster regardless of how good they are

at some point your team has to be able to play half court offense

nah its fine

weird

love embiid and harden together as a start to getting all the guys who are visibly fatigued every time they're in an important game tall on one team.

I love how teams optimistically sign coaches to five year contracts when it seems like at least half the league turns over coaches every two or three years.

leverage baby!

I really think Embiid needs to be on a team that slows the pace down. The nuggets did it for their center and it works.

A team that makes sense to me is the Thunder.

oh yeah that would work. they have the picks too. but... would embiid want to be part of that franchise through his prime?

i keep trying to think of things the timberwolves could do w/the first pick
other than disbanding the franchise and ending the ongoing shame to the sport of baskeball

they should draft a player, more trading of future for present isn't going to get them anywhere

i don't think they've convinced their last #1 pick that they're the place to be long term so they need to draft a new one and start over

oh actually they have kat for a year or two longer than i thought

wobs 2020 recap video is good of course

A year unlike any other.
