Brian Fowler Posted July 14, 2022 Author Share Posted July 14, 2022 If the Knicks pull this off, how the fuck are they going to defend anybody with two 6'1" guards, neither of whom have ever shown much tendency to even try that hard on D? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zimbra Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Woj Bomb! Feels like a no-win situation for Phoenix since they don't want to keep him but don't want to let him walk for nothing. Myles Turner has to be getting traded out of town soon, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NBA CBA is a labyrinth so I'm not sure I have this right, but I think now that he has signed the offer sheet, he's no longer eligible for a sign and trade, and Phoenix's only choices are to let him go or match and he won't be trade eligible for a few months. Edit: he won't be tradable until January 15, and Phoenix wouldn't be able to trade him to the Pacers for one year.

Which also pretty much means regardless of how this plays out, they can't trade for Durant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, hey, they save 5.5 million over the 4 years of the deal than if they had signed him to a max with Bird Rights. Plus, yeah, he'll quite likely be available at the deadline.

If KD is still available, Ayton cannot be traded to Brooklyn (or any team) until January 15th, and only with his permission. Added restriction is he cannot be traded to Indiana for one calendar year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travis Sheldon Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Numchuks and ninja stars would definitely make that a chef's kiss masterpiece. I know the real names are nunchaku and shuriken, but that tattoo does not deserve correct terms. Just wanted to state that before anyone tried some funny stuff with me. I've seen a couple of chopsocky flicks in my day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 We will all be dead when this happens but the Sixers have announced plans to build a new arena in Downtown Philly It will be (they claim) entirely privately funded. The plan is to play at Wells Fargo until the current lease runs out (2031-2032) and begin in the new arena for the 32-33 season They are currently in discussions with the Flyers to see if they want to join them in the new arena Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be located at what's known as Market East, which is a big train/subway station. This thing is going to take years to build. There is going to be so much construction right in the most congested part of the city. There's no parking for when this thing gets built. Who knows how it's going to mess up the train/subway system. And the argument of "bringing people to a city and will help so many businesses..." rings kind of hollow. We're pretty good right now. This is just going to make me say something like "Oh, let's not go to that restaurant tonight, there's a Sixers game." Right now, all of our stadiums are in the far southern end of the city. There are a few highways with really easy access. You can take a subway there pretty easily. There is plenty of parking. Also: I get why a baseball stadium fits into a downtown area and can really add to the city's architecture. A basketball arena is indoors. Does anyone drive past any arena and say "Oh, wow, look at that palace." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 In the latest Brooklyn is Not Trading KD news: Boston offered Jaylen Brown(!), Derrick White, and a 1 for Durant. Brooklyn said no. Their counter was Brown, Marcus Smart, three 1's, and a rotation player. (lol) So... yeah, he's not going anywhere anytime soon. --- EDIT -- This was apparently news to Brown!

Brian Fowler Posted July 25, 2022 Author Share Posted July 25, 2022 On one hand, there's no way in hell I would give up KD for the package Boston offered. Brown is only under contract for two seasons. On the other, if I'm Boston, I don't think I would make the deal Brooklyn countered with. It's more reasonable than what Boston offered, but a bit too heavy. White instead of Smart but with the extra player and a full compliment of picks feels about right.
