2022-23 Team Developments: News / Trades / Free Agents / Rumors

udonis haslem is coming back for his 20th season

will join kobe and dirk as the only players to play 20 seasons with one team

 

You wanna see crazy Lebron had Rob sign off for Westbrook after most fans could see he was done as an ubberathletic star. Then Lebron complains about our front office.

I can see a lot of the mental health assessments going a bit like this classic scene.....

 

When was the last time he played a game, 2016?

 

meaningful game, yes

But apparently being a good leader and locker room presence can make you millions if you stick around long enough. Pretty rare to see something like this. Hats off to him.

 

probably when he still had cornrows

 

Does it really count if you don’t play in more than a handful of games for the final five seasons???

 

If you are one of 3 to ever do it? Yes. But he will never be mistaken to be in the same club as Kobe and Dirk.

 

hasn't played more than 16 games in a season since 15-16 lol

 

All added, dude has played about 2 hours of basketball in 5 years.

 

but he practices like an MF'er!

 

I'm a good leader, can you milk me?

 

Talk about being well compensated

 

Such a unique case. That list is filled with top level talent, injured talent, bad contract talent, but he's literally the ONLY one the team keeps wanting back knowing that he won't play, and wants to keep paying him.

It's a pretty big compliment.

 

either that or this is all payment for when he took less than market value to stay in miami many years ago.

 

I actually think its cool when teams show loyalty to guys like that. Especially if they can find ways to do it without hurting the team overall.

 

…from Shams latest piece.

 

yeah, though i think it was also sort of an illegal under-the-table type agreement. but it takes trust for that, so give riley credit that he can build that. feel like that's what rob and company were trying to do with kcp in building the relationship with klutch.

would memphis give up jackson? he was finally getting it last year, but he's pretty injury prone. i think he's as interesting a centerpiece as jaylen brown, tbh. i'm not sure durant fits memphis's team persona...

yeah, i won't believe they're a happy family until there's a signed extension, but i can see how the nets might believe they're better off just rolling with him for the year.

i've been good trying to work on the indy framework or something with utah the whole time, anyway.

 

Right. I don't see Durant being a good fit in Memphis but maybe they will take a chance.

With Kyrie, I've been hoping we really do have some other options lined up and that hasn't changed. I also don't buy that he and the Nets are in a good space but I can see them wanting to give it a go with him and whatever they can get for Durant.
