stashing assets for the 2023 nba offseason

i feel like jaylen is going to sign whatever deal is available now once he's back from his trip but will get some satisfaction from making everyone wait around for him

Calvin Booth might've gone 3/3 this draft class https://t.co/TdAsnSEsty

And another: The Suns are trading G Cam Payne and a future second-round pick to the Spurs for a future second, sources tell ESPN.

i like this for the spurs

going to be interesting watching the suns fuck with the 3.5 max guys + 9 guys on minimum contracts theory

feels like we are in a prime ground for abstract team construction philosophy

Embiid: "I just want to win a championship. Whatever it takes. I don't know where that's gonna be, whether it's in Philly or anywhere else, I just want to have a chance to accomplish that."

Regardless of how forceful he intended that, convo around Sixers will never be the same. https://t.co/mXHx0WwJpm

been watching le tour de france and they show (a different version of) this ad every break, extremely unconvincing

Henderson’s Ignite teammate, Pooh Jeter, played around the world for 17 years, including a stint for the Ukrainian national team, which he helped secure its first FIBA World Cup berth since the breakup of the Soviet Union.

Scoot and Pooh.

That’s awful. Poor kid. Almost certainly an arrhythmia

jesus that’s scary

BREAKING: Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown has agreed to a five-year, $304 million supermax contract extension with the franchise, per sources. This is the richest deal in NBA history, negotiated by agent Jason Glushon.

Fully guaranteed, with a trade kicker. No player option. pic.twitter.com/MQ6NKILY8Q

— Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) July 25, 2023

jesus that’s scary

jaylen, welcome to being the richest guy

celtics got no player option and jaylen got the trade kicker

certainly more than youd like to pay him but what are you gonna do

barring major injury should be a pretty tradable contract for the life of the deal considering jaylen is 26 and the type of player who can fit in anywhere

this celtics roster you can see the vision their ceiling is prob higher now but its a pretty dicey road

that a chunk a change i tell you what

Here’s what Boston could be on the hook for if the salary cap jumps 10% over the next 2 seasons:

Jaylen Brown $304M (starts in 24-25)

Jayson Tatum $338M (starts in 25-26)

— Bobby Marks (@BobbyMarks42) July 25, 2023

ultimately you still gotta feel as good about tatum and brown longterm as just about any duo in the league. certainly in the east

yeah theres not a team that wouldnt pay them, but it does make getting and keeping other guys harder when two players are making that much

if jayson can take the next step into true mvp contender status theyre looking pretty good, if not some balls have to bounce their way

they should have added a mechanism to the CBA where if you extend a player you drafted it counts less against the tax or something. the celtics shouldn't have to feel queasy about extending two players of that caliber

yeah like dont tax the supermax part, wld be good

right

they totally should but owners wouldn't go for it...seems obvious that the number 1 things fans like is cool homegrown cores and it sucks that they aren't very sustainable.

brown's salary in 2028-29 will be $69.1m, or $842,683 per game.

so who's in line to be the first million dollars per game player?

lol

Antetokounmpo chose return to the Bucks over multiple options, including Knicks, sources said. Brothers Giannis and Thanasis, Brook and Robin Lopez all reunited in Milwaukee for next season. https://t.co/f0YcRcmvkE

I mean it was always the thing but Woj and Shams seem even more blatantly mouthpieces for agents now

guess we know who their sources are lol

every team needs a towel waiver

curious if this job for the Knicks involved playing basketball or just reaching high objects

are they talking about…giannis?

oh ok I clicked through and it’s thannasis. he’s honestly one of the worst NBA players I’ve ever seen on par with rookie austin rovers

I don't know he had pretty good range

clown show

NEWS: ESPN is closing in on promoting Doris Burke to the NBA Finals, demoting Mark Jackson and hiring Doc Rivers in the wake of the Jeff Van Gundy firing, The Post has learned.https://t.co/8AhPLrR6U4

— Andrew Marchand (@AndrewMarchand) July 31, 2023

MAMA! there goes that man

not the worst outcome, but not the best (firing mark and keeping jeff)

doris is ready for the job. i can't remember doc ever being on TV but ppl have said he's good. JVG was on another level when he wanted to be but this feels like not the worst outcome given what ESPN is up to generally. i'm just glad that they're keeping perk/RJ/JJ/stephen a etc out of the main booth

So the core booth would be Breen-Doris-Doc? I guess I can see it. If JVG ends up on TNT I am happy to sacrifice him if it means we're done with Jackson too

def a less how do you say personality forward crew, prob a good thing

id love to have JVG decoupled from Jax. Hope he gets a gig at tnt

omg... double van gundy crew

sign me up lol
