2022-23 NBA Thread: “you’ll never let me down like the Heat did”, Miami fan says to giant pile of cocaine (3 Viewers)

Like Brogdon, but guy can't stay healthy and he doesn't seem like a good fit for the Celtics.

You don't seem like a good fit.

 

[msudaisy26]

You don't seem like a good fit.

Touché

 

[ShamrockPride]

I mean nice trade for Celtics on the surface, but

#1, he gotta stay healthy

#2, you just cleared out even more of your already impotent bench. What are they gonna be doing to address that the rest of the offseason?

 

[SWC]

brogdon is a ball stopper who needs the ball all the time and doesnt make the rest of his team better you may have noticed the bucks took off after he left because he would never be the leader with anteater around look all i am saying is that i am not a huge fan but he seems like a nice guy take that to the bank brohans

They have Gallo now. They’re fine.

They added Brogdon and Gallinari and moved on from Theis, Nesmith, Stauskus, Fitts, and Morgan. Basically, they added more scoring without really parting with anyone od substance or importance. Free agency isn't even 24 hours old yet. The remaining B teamers (GWilliams, White, Pritchard) mostly played well and contributed throughout their productive end of the season run. They just didn't play great against GS. What were you expecting them to do? Trade bigger pieces?

They still have everyone that played meaningful minutes in the playoffs and added 2 guys who will get time and can score.

 

[Boston]

Feels like there could be another move coming after this deal, looking forward to some good rumors...C's give up almost nothing and get a quality player back without screwing up their cap...another player that has some faults but since they did not touch their core they can play him to his strengths which are very good...impressive day for Stevens...added Gallinari and Brogdon and the only good asset he gave up was a #1 and there is almost no way that isn't a low pick.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

That designated rookie extension rule seems kind of dumb. What was the purpose of it?

i think that the theory of it is to help smaller markets keep players they developed by reducing the chance that richer, bigger market teams will try to gobble up those players.  whether it really helps anyone, who knows.

 

[mr. furley]

I use spotrac.com.  Basically if a team is over the cap they have to send at least 80% back.  Only 50% counts in sign and trades if you are receiving more salary than you are sending and are over the cap.  

 

[Yo Mama]

That designated rookie extension rule seems kind of dumb. What was the purpose of it?

My limited understanding of it is that it’s meant to be one of those extra special benefits you get to use on one of your players to help keep from losing them. 
 

The fact that you can’t trade for another player with a similar deal seems weird to me and is a bug I’d hope they fix in the next CBA (unless this is more of a feature to keep less super teams than it is a bug). 
 

ETA - Basically, every team gets one super-contract to give to their players, and you can’t trade for another player on a super-contract if you already have one. 

 

[Courtjester]

Bruce Brown to the Nugs on a two year deal. Now this is what I am talking about. This is a good signing. I would love to have seen Cousins come back vs signing Jordan, but if Murray and MPJ are healthy, Denver has a shot to make some noise. I don't want to think about it if they are not.

Love the differentiation of Sac at +49000

So you're saying there's a chance?!?

I'd be all over them at +50000. But +49000? Nope, can't do it.

 

[Craig_MiamiFL]

Nice get by the Celts. Bunch of non-rotation guys for a very solid PG.

Getting the Red Mamba makes them a value play.

There were guys in that trade that Stevens did not know were even on the team...

The Celtics could use a player who doesn't  turn the ball over. Meanwhile, Miami lost Tucker and is standing still at the moment. 

 

[Juxtatarot]

Miami must have something in the works.

Both LA teams being that high is comical.

- Lakers are cooked with Westbrick.

- PG is on the Rushmore of chokers with CP3

- Maybe I can buy into the Suns if Booker practices getting double teamed this summer...

I'd add ATL to that list and agree

This thread will be less insightful and interesting.  He saw the game better than most and grew up watching Russell & Hondo in person.

I am going to miss him a ton.

At this moment I like Tor and GSW, but MEM and DAL are priced right for what they lost. 

I also like ATL, POR NOP  and MINN at those odds.

Imitation is the sincerest of flattery.

Even if we can't do it as well as the original. 

 

[SayWhat?]

Gobert to the WOLVES.  I’ll reserve judgement until I see the entirety of the deal and what the roster looks like for game 1.

 

[Juxtatarot]

Go Bert to the WOLVES.  I’ll reserve judgement until I see the entirety of the deal and what the roster looks like for game 1.

The Timberwolves are sending Malik Beasley, Patrick Beverley, Walker Kessler, Jarred Vanderbilt and multiple first-round picks for Gobert, sources tell ESPN.

The picks going to Utah, per sources: unprotected 1sts in 23, 25, 27, a swap in ‘26 and a top 5 protected in ‘29

Edit: plus Bolmaro

 

[SayWhat?]

Gobert to the WOLVES.  I’ll reserve judgement until I see the entirety of the deal and what the roster looks like for game 1.

FOUR (4!!!!) 1sts and players…not sure who yet…but can’t say I love that. They’re going for it though, and not many other ways to get impact players to come to Minnesota.

 

[msudaisy26]

The Utah Jazz is trading three-time DPOY Rudy Gobert to the Minnesota Timberwolves in exchange for Malik Beasley, Patrick Beverley, Walker Kessler, Jarred Vanderbilt, Leandro Bolmaro and four first-round picks, per Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.

 

[identikit]

Wolves got rid of Beverley

I'd  say that's a win

 

[msudaisy26]

So KAT playing the 4? I like that, but I am not sure this works. 

 

[ShamrockPride]

Jesus, 4 1sts??? Dunno about that one...

 

[msudaisy26]

Wolves got rid of Beverley

I'd  say that's a win

This is the thing I remember most about Pat Beverly. 

'You had the last five years,' Beverley told Curry, according to a source. 'The next five years are mine.' To that, Curry laughed and replied, "Aren't you 31?'"

 

[Juxtatarot]

Jesus, 4 1sts??? Dunno about that one...

And a swap!

 

[Navin Johnson]

Utah entering the Wembanyama race. 

 

[msudaisy26]

I feel like the T-Wolves could have gotten Durant for that price if he would agree to go to Minnesota. 

 

[msudaisy26]

Utah entering the Wembanyama race. 

Dallas should be on the phone Utah right now for Mitchell. So should about 10 other teams. 

 

[Juxtatarot]

Donovan Mitchell next to go?

 

[Boston]

So KAT playing the 4? I like that, but I am not sure this works. 

So unexpected...legit twin towers...really won't know what it looks like until you see them on the floor together...such an intriguing move...everyone loves the wings and the Wolves go old school with the big men...Wolves are gonna be real interesting next year.

 

[ShamrockPride]

Donovan Mitchell next to go?

Absolutely. If they play it right they can turn the ship around quickly. Should have plenty of assets moving these guys.

 

[Craig_MiamiFL]

Damn nice return for the Jazz.

 

[Boston]

I would not be surprised if Riley and the Heat make a big move for someone like Mitchell...the Heat are very good, but I don't think this current team can win a championship...they have the pieces to do something that could get them closer to that.

 

[Boston]

Damn nice return for the Jazz.

If they deal Mitchell, they could be bad for a while...they are not a FA/trade destination for stars so they would have to be flawless in the draft.

 

[thecatch]

I’m sure they’ll rack up regular season wins but I agree, wings will cook them in the playoffs.
