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

Yeah. But shots to the balls hurt worse than conventional Big Man bruises.

 

Lol..ouch ouch!

Now a banger/lob threat at the 5, should be easier to find, and a lot cheaper. Legit lob threats create spacing too.

 

Expiring contract.

 

and they had prime curry and thompson (AND durant for two of them). hard pass. westbrook part 2. awful. no.

these aren't valuable in the offseason a year out unless you're eating awful salary. adding vando whilst eating awful salary is a fireable offense.

 

Man Im not hearing any of that Abeer.. Take Green out, and they still don't get by Lebron in Cleveland.

Now Draymond at the MLE?..run that all day, everyday. There isn't any possible way, that we could get him besides that, but hell yeah,his value is still way above the MLE. If we can work with Jarred, we most definitely can work with Draymond.

 

no body is trading for beasley the player, hes purely an expiring deal

 

Lol..well..what underperforming player do you want on some other team, that they would be willing to trade for his expiring contract?

 

yeah, i feel like i posted this on the previous page. expirings aren't useful a year out unless you're taking on long-term salary. and usually bad salary in exchange for a pick or something. even then, you're asking teams to give up their season before it starts, and only a handful of teams do that a year.

add in the tax ramifications of using beasley to bring in more salary, and i just don't expect anything there. maybe if we add our pick to beasley, we can get an older vet role player who makes less money (that team eats the bulk of beasley's salary) from team going nowhere? but who is that even?

the good news is that we are in a much better place than last year and actually have a lot of options. and our two most consistent non-star playoff performers are both RFAs.

 

Ben Simmons?

 

If Houston was asking coaching candidates about him, that means they're pretty serious about this.

 

if he walks, philly's screwed. they're basically over the cap without his salary, so they really need houston to work with them on a s&t for the exception at least. much like us if we decide not to bring dlo back. would be a disaster.

 

There are some rumbling about the Rockets shopping Jalen Green too. Harden is also the exact opposite type of player that Udoka likes. Wtf is Houston doing lol.

 

i don't love green or porter as centerpieces, but yeah...i don't get bringing harden back. felt like they kind of got out from under him before.

 

unless philly makes some moves, they'll be a 6-8 seed without harden and it won't be long until embiid starts asking out

 

Already some NY whispers

 

I think they’re the team that finally trades for Beal. Harris’s deal is finally an expiring and Embiid wanted Beal in the past. I think they’re better served letting Harden walk, letting Maxey be the primary ball handler and bringing in Beal. They’d have no good wings though.

 

i'm fascinated by the morey/harden fallout here. i thought those two were simpatico, and this is not what happens when that's the case.

 

is melton a wing? tucker's not quite dead yet. but yeah, just can't have harden's 35 million slot just walk out the door.

 

Nah he’s only 6’2”. I really liked Melton in the regular season but he couldn’t make a shot in the playoffs.
