2022 NBA OFF SEASON DRAFT FREE AGENCY TAMPERING ETC

celtics were def avoiding him and jimmy last night i noticed, picking their matchups and so forth

feel like bams offense has stagnated tho, working on a face up game from the elbow would make sense for him since hes a good passer, his handle is prob good enough he just needs to be able to hit that 15-18 foot jumper reliably

yeah his passing dies in the offs because his defender can sag so much

this is getting back to the spaceballs idea where a switchy center who can shoot will be more useful than one who cant

yeah but there aren’t many switchy centers who can shoot. there are centers who can switch and centers who can shoot but being huge, athletic, agile and skilled enough to shoot threes is a very rare combo. if bam could shoot threes he’d be one of the 10 best players in the league

oh absolutely. in fact i don't think we have even seen that perfect center yet, except for draymonds one season where he shot well.

if horford had taken up the 3 earlier in his career maybe

Durant in the death lineup when he was locked in on D was the archetype

he wasnt the center tho

ESPN Sources: Denver Nuggets president Tim Connelly is traveling to meet with Minnesota owner Glen Taylor this weekend in what’s the next step in the Timberwolves’ pursuit to hire Connelly and make him one of league’s highest compensated executives.

yeah but hard to think the perfect center would be a 35 year old when we can imagine someone with the same skillset at 25

being highly compensated to run a team with lower expectations seems like an alright gig

i personally would think twice before becoming involved with the timberwolves organization

i'm in it for the compensation

FYI horford did that during the hawks 60 win season

oh i thought it was the year after that, in his contract year

Sorry it was the 15/16 season he started hoisting

nice story

juwan and lebro were together on the heat, correct?

yeah, did not think of that aspect lol

hes seen what bron can do to a coach

ESPN Sources: Denver Nuggets President Tim Connelly has agreed to a deal with the Minnesota Timberwolves that’ll make him one of the NBA’s highest compensated executives. Significant coup for Minnesota franchise.

— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) May 23, 2022

Connelly will sign a 5-year, $40M-plus deal that includes ownership equity, sources said. Massive deal and franchise changing move for the Timberwolves.

— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) May 23, 2022

Woah

godspeed to all parties involved w/ this one

A-Rod ownership group pulling out their checkbooks.

Denver made a bid to keep Connelly that would've moved him into one of the better paid league executives, sources said, but the ownership equity with Minnesota is life-changing money -- something only a very few executives have in their deals.

juwan will prob eventually be an nba coach, but for now the decision is "coach your sons at your alma mater" or "be lebron's highly-paid assistant," and i think he chose wisely

I like how being paid millions in annual salary is just ho-hum these days and it takes getting an ownership share in a billion dollar enterprise to be "life-changing".

I'm pretty excited, this rules

Sounds like Gupta is staying on

min definitely in position to become a real team but yeah i'll believe it when i see it

when someone is willing to pay you $10 million+ to not work for the timberwolves, the timberwolves better be offering something that is truly changing your life in a whole different way

Allows him to take that all-important step up from the 0.06% into the 0.04%.

currently entertaining offers in the $6-8m range to not work for the timberwolves, please dm

I think it's funny that leaving a job for more money, which is why 99% of people leave their job is being viewed as suspect for some reason. Wolves aren't a destination so you have to overpay. POBO doesn't count against the cap so who cares how much these rich guys want to spend.

kinda surprising top front office jobs are mix level exception money tbh

yeah im disappointed too but you cant get everything you want look on the bright side you got legendary status in video games

DeAndre Ayton’s agent: “We’re disappointed. We wanted a max contract” https://t.co/GDVBqVf5QR

— Kurt Helin (@basketballtalk) May 24, 2022

the best way to get more money and prove youre worth the max is actually to play poorly and quit on your team in the playoffs then let someone write an article about how you only sleep a couple hours per night cos you cant shut off the video game.

talking shit to your coach in an elimination game is good too

A proven formula for success

This guy is built for a max contract from the Kings or Hornets.

pistons maybe, if they miss out on the big men at the top of the draft

hornets one team that i think would actually be completely justified in giving ayton a huge contract. they badly need a real center and he’s athletic enough to play with their guys

that team would need one helluva coach/culture to make it work cos hes not helping their defense unless he buys in
