By giririsss Go To PostIt sounds like 92m is already an interim. It'll get to 108M eventually.damn... I am all for the players getting more money but they going to have to rearrange some stuff so GM LeBron doesn't make an all-star squad
By blackace Go To Postdo they want to up the max contracts?dunno, they weren't happy with going from a 57-43 revenue split to 49-51.
but with how much the cap is going up, they might just not want to risk it.
By blackace Go To Postdamn… I am all for the players getting more money but they going to have to rearrange some stuff so GM LeBron doesn't make an all-star squadIt's interesting. They will be able to do stuff like that. a starting 5 all making 20M each.
But i think as part of it you've sort of got to look at making sure the bottom end gets more. To my mind. But that's not where the star power will be.

Brooklyn Nets offer San Antonio executive Sean Marks franchise's GM job.
Can only be an upgrade.

Cavs are already paying 108 million dollars this and next season where they might have to resign Mozgov.
(if lebron stays and gets a max, for the next 4 seasons)
they won't be adding shit all.
By giririsss Go To PostIt's interesting. They will be able to do stuff like that. a starting 5 all making 20M each.but max contracts will be in the 35m range if the cap hits 100m

By blackace Go To Postbut max contracts will be in the 35m range if the cap hits 100mRight. But the press / media / sponsorships you'd get would have to make up for a large chunk of it.
Particularly for someone like CP3 on the tail end of the career.
CP3, Dwyane, LBJ, Melo, Dwight.
Get your rings, Get all the media, secure a "legacy"...
By blackace Go To PostCP3 Melo D12 I can see but LBJ and Wade want that money lolYou could fill those spots with others from around that era though.
Horford, Dirk, YNB, KD, PG13, Blake
By blackace Go To Postreliably bad… lolWell, I guess more highly limited than bad? He didn't make decisions that would lose you games. He didn't really have the ability to win you games, either.
so someone on reddit posted a link that you can trade the entire Sixers team for Kobe Bryant and you only decrease the Sixers projected wins by 16.
ESPN projected them to win 19 at the beginning of the year lol

By pilonv1 Go To PostMagic will waive Lance if he gets traded.
Get Lance to NY. This needs to happen
FTFY Lance is Nyets status as this point
I am still holding out hope the Knicks can convince the Kings that Calderon will be the only adult on their team.
By Zeus Ex Machina Go To PostFTFY Lance is Nyets status as this pointSo you basically picked a random team and went "they will trade for calderon!"?

I know guys have been entering the league at 18/19 for decades now but it still amazes me when you find out something like Tobias Harris being only 23 and this is his sixth season
By DY_nasty Go To Posti'd take wheelchair jennings over calderon with zero hesitation tbhzero regrets
By pilonv1 Go To PostI know guys have been entering the league at 18/19 for decades now but it still amazes me when you find out something like Tobias Harris being only 23 and this is his sixth seasonDerrick Favors will be 24 forever!
By diehard Go To PostDerrick Favors will be 24 forever!24 wins short.
By giririsss Go To Post24 wins short.there seems to be a lot going over my head lately.
as a 3rd pick does Favors live up to his pick?
He is pretty nice and is a good player but them top 3 picks are suppose to change franchises... does he do that? How do we rank him?

Favors can lead them to 45 wins if he healthy, unfortunately he miss some game
that's Bosh achievement at Toronto (CMIIW, Can't remember 45 or 42)
so yeah he top 3 worthy

the last 10 years of pick #3: Joel Embiid, Otto Porter, Bradley Beal , Enes Kanter, James Harden, O.J. Mayo, Al Horford and Adam Morrison.
I'd say only Harden is definitely better, with Horford close.
He has gotten better every year and is a genuinely good person, not a superstar but not much you can dislike.

By diehard Go To Postthe last 10 years of pick #3: Joel Embiid, Otto Porter, Bradley Beal , Enes Kanter, James Harden, O.J. Mayo, Al Horford and Adam Morrison.Horfords better. Now.

But Favors is worthy of a top 3 pick. He's really good.
It's always hard to tell with Jazz players over the last 3 years, how much their offensive %'s hurt because of really really average guard play.
I know he won't end up there cause reasons. But it's an interesting idea to put KD on the jazz (particularly in a straight up sign). Gobert, Favors, KD, Hayward, Neto/Exum.

Guess the 90s make the 3rd pick look better than it has been... With Penny, Hill, Stack, Reef and B-Diddy.. and then Gasol and Melo in the 00s..
But looking like he is one of the better 3rd picks recently!
By DY_nasty Go To PostI think Favors is kinda…. way better… than BealBeal is pretty good statwise for his position.. I would say he is as good of a SG as Favors is a PF
By fertygo Go To PostNah, Courtney Lee can replace Beal and Wiz won't slide
Jazz lose Favors and losing swing happen
By KingGondo Go To PostPlus Favors is a totally awesome dude. This is a confirmed fact.amen

"Sounds like Kings forward Rudy Gay pushing for a trade before Thursday's 3 pm EST deadline, per Basketball Insiders." - @AmicoHoops
eh its Amico, who has been off before
But it could be the locker room not wanting any more of Karl
(which Cousins will get blamed for, even tho its other players asking out)
