Great call LBL. Where does this leave the Celts in regards to the ability to sign a big?

So "according to a Nets insider," Kyrie and KD have agreed to take slightly less than the full max in order to make accommodations for the rest of the roster - that would be pretty big IMO, Kurucs in particular is a nice young depth piece that you'd hate to trade away.

Bucks maybe but Brogdon did miss about 1/3 of the season and Mirotic stunk for them. I expect Giannis to be even better though and I like some of the young guys like Brown and Divicenzo.

gotta give elton credit.
i don't know if this is really going to work, but these are big moves with big upside and he got creative and they still have the MLE, I think.

They had Harris last year. And while adequate, neither Horford nor Richardson are great shooters...nowhere near Reddick at least.

RETURN OF THE MILK DUD?
Michael Scotto @MikeAScotto
In addition to the expected additions of Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, DeAndre Jordan and Garrett Temple, Jared Dudley remains interested in re-signing with the Nets, a league source told @TheAthleticNYC. Dudley was a strong locker room presence for Brooklyn last season.

I don’t know either. Horford seems a bit out of his modern NBA position at 4 in their playoff lineup and I’m not sure where the half court initiation is coming from. JJ has a ton of gravity and obviously Butler was their off the dribble guy. They have to be in win now mode, but even the bad front offices in the league were scared off the fourth year of Horford’s deal.
I think they’ll only have the room exception, not the MLE, because they signed Horford into space.

If Simmons can find a groove with him, Horford is deadly on the pick and pop from the elbow/free throw line area.

I think they have $5 million left, though $15 if they were to renounce Marcus Morris.
Still have the MLE, so either way, they should be able to get someone decent. Willie Cauley Stein or Looney could be interesting. maybe even cousins.

Wtf is that supposed to mean? I keep reading people act like Philly made some huge additions? They did but they also lost just as much as they added today. They shuffled the deck in a very expensive way.

Damn good deal by the Sixers to get Miami's best player in a sign-and-trade. And one that's locked into a very good contract for 3 more years.
Not crazy about paying Horford that amount of coin for 4 years but think that's offset by getting Richardson's contract.

i am aware that they had Harris, but only for part of the year and they never really integrated everyone. I agree that Reddick helped to create a lot and he is a loss. But I think that now they have 3 willing shooters, whereas Butler really wasn't.
I don't know, it will be complicated and I do wish they had kept Reddick. I really like getting Richardson in, though.

The Lakers are dangerously close to having to sweat out whether they can entice Alec Burks to come start for them. If they whiff on Kawhi, that roster is going to be 3 dudes and a clown show.

good point.
I assume that Scott got their room exception, though based on the contract amount (2/9.8)
Totally agree with the bolded.
Will be fun to see how they integrate these new pieces.
Mr Anonymous

But that's the point. It's not clear cut if this even makes Philly better. The only clear thing is that it makes them way more expensive.

Is Zhaire Smith over his rubella or MRSA or whatever the #### he had last year?

There was a segment on TNT this year were Shaq said that the team could either score the same amount of points more points or less points in the second half. Bernie could not stop laughing at him because of how silly is analysis was. I was just laughing at the point where you said they could be better worse or the same.

Are we sure we like commiting to Butler in that kind of deal for Miami? I get paying a premium for him if you're on the cusp of being a top 4 team in the division, but are there other things the Heat can do that will make them something more than a 7/8 seed?

Yes I see what you mean now. The point I was making is they spent a ton of money and may not be any better. $300 million on Harris and Horford and they very well might be worse considering Harris was already there last year and they lost Reddick and Butler. I really like Richardson but there's no guarantee that swapping Butler and Reddick for Hordford and Richardson makes them better.
My Bucks face the same dilemma. Their roster just got way more expensive and they have to find a way to replace Brogdon with a better fit / player.

In a vacuum I like Butler/Redick over Richardson/Horford. However, Horford’s personality meshes with the team so much better than Butler’s. It will be interesting.
Leeroy Jenkins

Well, if they were going to lose Butler, it is the best they could do really. They traded Covington, Saric, and dead weight and got back Richardson (is that it in the deal) and Horford. Do they have other cap space or just the MLE left now?
Long Ball Larry

come on now, dude played a minute in the playoffs
and it was ####### surgery on a hole in his esophagus due to an allergic reaction to a still-unknown food.
That is a normal injury. Move on, find a new slant.

Not 100% sure but I gotta believe it's just the MLE now given the Horford signing. Maybe there's a TPE in the Butler deal?
Long Ball Larry
Footballguy
how does it make them more expensive?
i think it's actually cheaper than bringing back reddick and paying butler the max.
Long Ball Larry
Footballguy
as catch pointed out above, i don't think the have the MLE since they signed horford with cap space.
i think with boban, amir and monroe renounced, they still might have like 7 mill left, though i'm not sure of all of the moving pieces with the how they will order the transactions.

Pat Bev is a UFA. Feels like he's waiting out the chaos and is going to strike it big with a desperate team.

More expensive than last year and in future years meaning less flexibility. Butler, Harris, and Reddick on expiring deals could have turned into anything. It turned into Harris, Horford, and Richardson on long term deals. The flexibility is gone, the price is higher, and the question is - are they any better?

They are looking to extend Simmons.
Sixers still need shooting. Selling all of those seconds and giving up #33 instead of #34 to the Celtics still seems bad, unless I am missing something?
Long Ball Larry
Footballguy
they were always going to lose the flexibility this offseason. there might be an argument for just keeping the powder dry, but i don't think that was ever in the cards for this FO this year.
Looking to extend to keep the asset. It doesn't mean much in terms of whether they want to keep him or not.

I can honestly say I hope Jimmy Butler never plays in another playoff game for the rest of his life.

Have tall dudes form a wall around the rim, have Richardson (or Zhaire if he's not dying because of a stray raspberry) just huck it up there, grab o-reb, score, rinse/repeat.

Woj is saying KD and Kyrie are taking enough of a haircut to make everything work. Love it.
