stashing assets for the 2023 nba offseason

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

Doc's got a terrible, raspy voice though... I'll take it though. Mark Jackson was annoying as hell. Would have been Hilarious if it was Breen, JVG and Doris though, with Doris likely calling out Jeff's BS constantly.

yea I think Doc is a smart and interesting dude who says a lot of profound basketball stuff but he's pretty difficult to listen to

jim jackson sounds so much like doc, throws me off when i hear him calling games

i like their voices tho

maybe he's just had a cold every time I've actually heard him idk

feel like he more normal calling games than when hes coaching and yells for three hours

NEWS: Mark Jackson is now out at ESPN, according to sources.https://t.co/8AhPLrR6U4

— Andrew Marchand (@AndrewMarchand) July 31, 2023

we are free!!!

amen

sadly this opens the door for him at tnt doesnt it

Sources said that plans to put him on the network’s “B” team alongside Mark Jones fell apart in part due to the hope of getting more game reps for JJ Redick and Richard Jefferson.

it's pretty funny that ESPN singled jackson out like this -- there is some dignity in "you make too much money & we have to lay you off." but instead he got "we would like to publicly humiliate you by keeping you employed but demoting you"

yeah kind of odd

hand down man down

by all accounts he seems like a horrible person maybe they hate him

some stupid GM going to hire him to coach

I really don't mind JJ. RJ on the other hand, his analysis isn't terrible but there's a smarminess in his voice I just cannot abide

JJ needs someone fun to partner with hes a bit self serious. solid analysis tho

https://www.theringer.com/nba/2023/8/7/23819588/tyler-herro-ceiling-miami-heat-damian-lillard-trade

apparently herro is one of only 17 players since 2000 whose measurements are available with a wingspan shorter than his height

lol trotting out tyler herro wingspan stats is ultimate summer doldrums content… yeah we know the guy can’t play defense thank u zach

seems like the ideal role for him three point specialist who then has the ability to attack when he has an advantage, like he doesnt stack up against lead guards as far as getting to the rim but compared to other pure shooters hes amazing, so if you use him like kyle korver who can dribble seems like hed be pretty tough to deal with, obvs thats not as valuable as a lead guard but maybe thats just not him

how much difference btwn huerter and herro nowadays?

i enjoyed the list of short arm guys, not a great track record there.

the white mans burden
