hammerva Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 So here is the explanation of their in season NBA mini tournament. I guess based on this the NBA schedule hasn't been announced or announced a couple days ago. Not sure normally when the schedule is announced. At least they made this in November and December when frankly nobody cares about the NBA except for the Christmas games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolfan in NYC Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Marc Stein is reporting that the Raptors are not not shopping Pascal Siakam. Indiana and/or Atlanta are certainly not looking for his services. Also if Toronto were to trade him, they'd expect a king's ransom in return.

Don't sign a max deal then bitch that the team won't make a deal. Its not like Portland signs a bunch of FAs anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted July 14, 2023 Author Share Posted July 14, 2023 The NBA granted the Bulls a $10.2 million disabled player exception for Lonzo Ball so they now have a little bit of cap room to try and add a player from who is left in free agency. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted July 16, 2023 Author Share Posted July 16, 2023 LeBron is going back to wearing 23 out of respect for Bill Russell. He was the league's top jersey seller last year, and it's pretty late for new #23 jerseys to be produced on scale to sell, unless they still have stock from before he changed back to six in 2021. I know the NBA used to require players to pay for unsold inventory if they changed their number too close to a new season, but I don't remember how close or know if that rule still exists.

Contentious C Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Basically. It's like some of y'all are purposely ignoring or misrepresenting what NBA contracts are like. Who are they supposed to replace him with on the offensive end? Dame? Oh, now you have a giant fucking hole on defense because you also traded Smart. Try to chase Middleton earlier in free agency, who re-signed anyway? Yeah, sure, if you want to overpay for someone who's going to play 30 games on the wrong side of 30. So where is the option that gets you the same level of production and playmaking on a consistent basis (he was actually a more consistent scorer this year than Tatum, particularly in the playoffs, with or without the TOs)? Oh, right, there isn't one. Running it back was the only move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted July 26, 2023 Author Share Posted July 26, 2023 He's a top twenty-five player at a premium position. That's the new market rate. The max salary structure is what it is. But Boston basically had two choices: give him this deal or trade him now. They got the full five years without an option so they theoretically can try to trade him down the road if they become convinced him and Tatum can't win together (though Brown did get a 15% trade kicker) and if they keep him they at least know exactly when he'll hit free agency again. That said, this deal is also banking on Brown continuing to improve at the margins, especially on not turning the damn ball over so often. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
