nba off season 2024 bud 2 suns etc

If he and Embiid can stay healthy, maybe . . . na, I can't even do it.

Last I heard is that Embiid is still planning on playing in the Olympics, which seems crazy to me but maybe that helps him get in better shape for the season.

gotta see how they fill the roster out congrats to them for getting their guy tho, east could have some tough teams

its a big upgrade over tobias, thats for sure

One would think, but the 34 yo is scary if you're not LeBron. He was great last year for sure.

Rivals Expect Jazz To Trade Lauri Markkanen With Warriors, Spurs Among Interested Teams https://t.co/hle9sgWNq2

— RealGM (@RealGM) July 1, 2024

warriors are probably more desperate but dont have the draft war chest that sa does, not sure how willing spurs are to make a big move this early

yeah lauri seems more like a finishing rather than foundational piece

someone on twitter said that none of the local jazz media think hes getting traded but all the national media do

okc could get him theyd have too many guys tho

okc should absolutely go for it, a sga-dort-jalen-lauri-chet lineup would be a contender

thatd be a very skilled but pretty soft team seems like theyre trying to go in the other direction traded for caruso trying to sign ihart

Oof, kind of feels like Dubs would have to pay out of their nose to get him, and that their on tilt after supposedly missing out on PG.

Also, so much for PG wanting to stay in CA.

he wanted to stay in ca just not in clippers

and yeah anyone who wants lauri is gonna have to pay out the nose danny ainge is on the other side

lauri is on a bargain contract ($18M) for one more year and then i presume he's eligible for a huge raise, but not sure if it's the max considering how bird rights only allow a certain percentage increase from year to year

sad trombone

thats a big ass deal for a center without much offensive game

BREAKING: Free agent center Isaiah Hartenstein plans to sign a three-year, $87 million deal with the Oklahoma City Thunder, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. Hartenstein departs the Knicks for an enormous contract and gives OKC a new anchor inside. pic.twitter.com/DptmkuaP3v

i do like him on the thunder tho, big shift for them bringing on two defenders

they also wrapped up a couple key rotation guys

Free agent sharpshooter Isaiah Joe has agreed to a new four-year, $48 million deal to return to the Oklahoma City Thunder, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. Joe joined OKC after being waived by the 76ers in 2022, and now earns a long-term contract. pic.twitter.com/zxpE7H5JgY

hartenstein fever sweeping the league

For those in doubt, the Knicks offered Hartenstein the full four-year, $72.5 million deal they could, according to a league source. He elected to test out free agency. The Knicks never pulled the offer. They wanted him back. They just weren't allowed to pay him enough.

Lol I saw Wiggins and got excited.

haa

i wonder if the thunder think they can turn ihart into a 3 shooter

ihart deal could be one of those overpay contracts that can be used in a trade too, see if the third year is a team option, he is also a good player tho

you motherfuckers

owned

never subscribe to anything

basketball commentariat has really learned the word optionality

bye ihart. he can’t really shoot but he’s a pretty good and smart offensive player imo, had great chemistry with brunson and was a solid facilitator down low. plus his floater is the ugliest unstoppable shot in the league right now

with mitch rob’s injury and ft issues, knicks need to fill a hole at center because if i see precious achiuwa match up against embiid in the playoffs again i will seppuku

lol

lets go celtics 4 life

Boston Celtics guard Derrick White has agreed on a four-year, $125.9 million contract extension, sources tell ESPN. The deal includes a player option. Huge offseason priority for the champs. pic.twitter.com/eAMo9yf7oe

niiice

Dubs-LK thing maybe a three-team deal with the Klay S&T?

Durr that should be LM for Markkanen.

rip splash bros

BREAKING: Free agent Klay Thompson plans to join the Dallas Mavericks on a three-year, $50M deal with a player option, sources tell ESPN. Thompson ends his historic Warriors run as part of a multi-team sign-and-trade that’ll also send Josh Green to Charlotte. pic.twitter.com/4GJ5hR3H5o

— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) July 1, 2024

less than the warriors offer that insulted him last year

Are more details available for the sign-and-trade?

prob not yet

Rip so sad man

taking less was offset by the chance to win a fifth championship with the Mavs as well as the difference in state taxes.

players really hate state taxes lol

a completed concept

The sign-and-trade framework that will ultimately send Klay Thompson to Dallas has a completed concept that would send Josh Green to Charlotte, sources said, but what goes back to the Warriors has not yet been finalized. Three years, $50 million was most Mavericks could offer.

— Jake Fischer (@JakeLFischer) July 1, 2024

I'm guessing it's Davis Bertans and a second rounder lol

if the warriors dont get a first out of this whats even the point of doing it

Warriors and Mavericks still working through details of sign-and-trade, which includes Hornets sending the Mavericks two second-round picks for Josh Green, sources tell ESPN. One of those picks could end up in Golden State. Thompson will land in Dallas on the three-year deal.

— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) July 1, 2024

yeah, no sense in helping a rival like this if they are really trying to win something this year

if the warriors dont get a first out of this whats even the point of doing it

Drafting bronny oh wait.

LeBron is supposedly going to take less money so the Lakers can get a midlevel free agent but who's going to be left?

apparently hes not going to do that anymore since there arent any FAs good enough to merit that

lol

that was the only way the bronny thing made sense, if you were essentially burning a low draft pick in exchange for cap flexibility
