stashing assets for the 2023 nba offseason

if he spurns the mavs lmao

feel like he prob understands that he needs to create the illusion of a market so that the mavs will max him out. i don’t think there’s a team w cap space that would actually want him

yeah i mean if they sign him for 5/253 or whatever he can get then thats just as bad lol

the last bullet point lol

The “full expectation” is Kyrie Irving will re-sign with the Mavericks once free agency begins, per @wojespn:

- Legitimate places Kyrie would even consider leaving Dallas for are “extremely limited, perhaps almost nil.”

- Money aspect won’t be an issue for Irving’s new deal… pic.twitter.com/lmqT8C0cME

“extremely limited, perhaps almost nil.”

my guess is this also describes the list of teams interested in signing kyrie

everything is in alignment

The Timberwolves are declining to guarantee Taurean Prince’s $7.4M contract for the 2023-2024 season, sources tell ESPN. Prince — who’s averaged 10.4 points in his seven years — joins the free agent market.

expected this but prince was a nice vet role player, shot well from 3 last year, general good guy from all accounts

san antonian as well

be a good deep bench guy for a contender

every contender should be trying to get prince on a minimum, he'll have his choice im sure

Sheesh, appreciate the heads up Woj🤲🏾 https://t.co/KXwlYfMyLA

seems like he might look for more than the vet min, he’s 29 and has only had 3 years of non-rookie scale pay. probably not going to have a better chance to make some money.

please god i never ask you for anything

NBA star Kyrie Irving intends to meet with the Phoenix Suns when the free agency period begins on June 30, league sources tell @NBAonTNT, @BleacherReport. https://t.co/9KOjnqMu0N

KD needs to be put thru an exorcism my god

The Houston Rockets could seek a meeting as well, according to sources.

There's growing momentum that the Rockets will have the edge in signing unrestricted free agent Kyle Kuzma, league sources tell B/R

appreciate the orgs that are scooping up all the malcontent players to keep them off of potential good teams

the streets need irving and kd back together again

The Lakers are increasingly confident they can sign Nuggets free-agent wing Bruce Brown Jr. for the non-taxpayer midlevel exception starting at a projected $12.4 million, multiple league sources told @TheAthleticNBA: https://t.co/FYJHYG86V6

god this would be such a fucking buzzkill

rockets are really gonna spend their entire cap space on fvv and dillon brooks, huh

xp its kinda crazy the team he's on cant offer him more. i dont really understand the reasoning behind that

they don’t have his bird rights

seems dumb

they do have his bird rights but part of that rule is they can only offer him a 20% raise and since they signed him with the tax payers mle its not very much

non-taxpayer mid level exception, bird rights, second apron penetration. . . you guys are just making this shit up, aren’t you

they do have his bird rights but part of that rule is they can only offer him a 20% raise and since they signed him with the tax payers mle its not very much

ah

I'm jonesing for some hoops drama. 6PM EST tomorrow can't come soon enough.

kyrie for ayton sign and trade makes too much sense a team of all guards vs a team of all centers who doesnt want that

whaaa

BREAKING: 76ers G James Harden is picking up his $35.6 million option and sides are beginning to work together in exploring trade scenarios, sources tell ESPN. It’s expected that Harden has played his last game for Philadelphia. pic.twitter.com/GguWgysfNZ

— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) June 29, 2023

this is not one of the options i was presented with

who even wants him, clippers?

seems like harden is doing philly a solid

ya tho theyre prob kinda fucked either way

heh

The Los Angeles Clippers have expressed interest in trading for James Harden, according to a league source

— Kyle Neubeck (@KyleNeubeck) June 29, 2023

i’m sad to say that whatever the outcome is here detaching embiid from harden is the best thing that could have happened to the sixers this offseason. a new deal for him would have sunk that entire franchise

paul george as the return huh?

please come west yes please

My dumb two cents: Harden <-> CP3!

yeah i dont think theyre giving up pg

harden at least plays

And doesn't have a podcast.

something like mann and powell prob

hahaha yesssss messssss

lil baby is probably excited he doesn't have to go visit harden in philly anymore

l.a. way more convenient for him. harden is a good friend in that way

fuck it throw harris in there too lets do this

The Clippers and Sixers have been in contact this week, league sources told @YahooSports, where Los Angeles — among wide-ranging talks on Marcus Morris and Norman Powell — have approached Philadelphia on separate ideas of trading for James Harden and Tobias Harris. https://t.co/D0biHPhMul

— Jake Fischer (@JakeLFischer) June 29, 2023

The Clippers and Knicks are expected to be among the teams that'll engage with the Sixers on a potential James Harden trade, sources tell ESPN. https://t.co/NQ5Y6xkvAx

— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) June 29, 2023

does this mean harden wasnt getting offers?

the only team that was a possibility really as far as having the cap space and maybe wanting him was houston, idk what happened with that, it was a very weird idea tho

i was thinking he was prob going back to philly but i guess they didnt want to cut the check

wouldn't be surprised if the knicks were the third team in a harden deal, but idk why they would attach themselves to that albatross when they're finally starting to re-establish themselves as a franchise people might actually like playing for

i think they might do it cause theyre the knicks

nice of him, good guy

Haynes says Jayson Tatum lobbied for the league to change rules around two-way contracts, specifically to help his friend Harry Giles. From the article:

"I reached out in support," Tatum told B/R. "Just trying help my guy. He deserves this shot." https://t.co/xoQl1QVCAz
