ESPN story on Raptors All-Star G Scottie Barnes landing a five-year maximum rookie extension that could be worth $270 million. https://t.co/aX66bPqzXV

5/270 for scottie barnes. kind of a damned if you do, damned if you don’t situation

The “fun max”

the 270 is contingent on him making all-nba or mvp/dpoy so more likely he'll make 5/225 (which is still a lot)

id feel fine about that contract if i were the raptors its not a "slam dunk" but scottie has been pretty dang good

it seems to me like a lot of teams in this draft value the certainty of clingan including atlanta, except atlanta is the only team that would have to take him first overall

it seems like once all the mega stars do their new extensions the scottie barnes type deals of the world will look properly slotted in again, even if the numbers are outsized

I am wondering what Maxey is going to sign for.

He is very good, I love him and his vibes, but feel that he is not quite a max player (mostly due to size). He should grab that bag if he can, though.

pelton had sarr no 2 on his board which is intriguing. his model thought his stats in the french league were actually pretty good. nate duncan was also making a strong argument for sarr > clingan

maxey is getting every last cent i’m not sure there is any suspense there

I'm sure he's a good coach but I never enjoyed seeing Atkinson out there. I get humorless/joyless from him, like he's a coaching machine or something.

You don't hear the players praise him too often.

I had a feeling.

it's in his name

facts

he should change his first name to super, gotta manifest it

he had a super in depth off court system in brooklyn where players had personalized plans drawn up for their treatment conditioning diet etc all based on the latest thinking, seemed pretty smart, kd and kyrie were not feeling it tho

those guys are also injured a lot makes you think

yikes

I’ve only been called the N word to my face by a white man once in my life and it was on the campus of Duke University while I was doing work with the basketball team. And today he was named the new head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers. What a world.

randle… OG is the one that’s unclear atm

nyk is absolutely gonna re-sign og, it's just a matter of how much

lol and i just realized its the villanova reunion fully realized lmao

the villanova thing ... okay xp

ryan arcidiacono must feel like shit man

Ngl the Nets cooked. They traded Kevin Durant in return for, essentially, Cam Johnson, eight (8!) unprotected firsts and one protected first.

yeah holding out until someone backed two trucks up for bridges is looking pretty good right now

yeah gotta do that as the nets

yikes

knicks should wear these uniforms for a few games this year

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GQ9uleYWUAEudJE?format=jpg&name=medium

i mean i too love to hang out with my buds so i get it

the leon rose knicks have made like 2.first round picks in 4 seasons, so i wasn’t expecting them to sit on their assets. bridges was legitimately a great third banana with the suns, and now he returns to that role. lessens the offensive burden on everyone, plus he’s just 27 and on a reasonable contract for the next couple years (his almost definite desire to re-sign in a couple years also means they could move on from randle if they feel they need to)

without complete details on the picks it's a comical overpay for mikal bridges but i think it also makes sense? it's not a championship team but it's a really good team, and they are so locked in on everything it's not as if they are going to be relying on the draft anytime soon

i think theyre contenders with this roster, assuming they resign og they prob cant keep hartenstein but they have robinson, theyre prob not as good as the best teams but theyre in the mix

they were still pretty good with half their team injured

folks think they’ll trade robinson and re-sign ihart

yeah I think it makes total sense for them honestly. mikal is a workhorse and is close with half their rotation, and fits really well. they’re going all in when their best players are in their mid to late 20s, winning a chip is tough but you gotta make these kinds of moves

so the Nets got Cam Johnson, 5 second round picks (Jae Crowder), and NINE first round picks for Kevin Durant https://t.co/2Qx2xPj7vS

well when u put it that way…

folks think they’ll trade robinson and re-sign ihart

problem is he can prob get more than the $16m that the knicks can offer and from a cap perspective the knicks would prob rather just keep robinson since if they trade him they have to take equal money back anyway

Because Hartenstein signed a new contract with the Knicks two years ago, a quirky rule in the collective bargaining agreement caps what they can offer him this summer, when he will become a free agent again. New York cannot present him with more than $16.2 million in starting salary.
