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

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.

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

demar i guess

Add DeMar DeRozan to the list of players whom LeBron James wants the Los Angeles Lakers to target in free agency.

ESPN's Brian Windhorst reported DeRozan is also among the players whom James would take a pay cut to play with.

"I think there's more than three," Windhorst said on the Hoop Collective podcast. "I think DeMar DeRozan is on that list as well. And there may be another one or so."

Dave McMenamin of ESPN previously reported James would take a pay cut if it meant the Lakers could land James Harden, Klay Thompson or Jonas Valančiūnas. Harden (Los Angeles Clippers) and Valančiūnas (Washington Wizards) have already agreed to sign elsewhere, while Thompson could command more than the $12.9 million non-taxpayer mid-level exception.

https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10126797-demar-derozan-rumors-lebron-james-would-take-pay-cut-for-bulls-fa-to-join-lakers

no reason for him to take the midlevel tho

Hollinger sez that the Dubs could pry some more picks from the Mavs: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/live-blogs/nba-free-agency-signings-deals-tracker/4V28798D4yCU/0ybSkl3nPOtb/

dont understand why he says the warriors need this deal to happen, unless dallas makes it worth their while by sending value back seems like itd be better for them to let klay walk and clear his salary

i guess theyre still going to be able to clear his salary, getting this deal done just assures that they get some picks as compensation, especially if they are going hord in the paint for lauri

they have to take salary back if they trade him, regardless they dont need to get the deal done

maybe thats where charlotte comes in they just take the salary into their cap space

warriors really want to back up the truck for lauri idk

on the one hand they will be better with lauri (and melton!) over klay, on the other hand how good is that and how barren will they be after dealing with ainge

ainge is looking at the bridges trade and thinking it looks pretty good

farewell poku

This is up in the air pending structure, but I've got the Charlotte Hornets likely creating about $19M in cap space to take in Josh Green and Reggie Jackson.

This would involve waiving Aleksej Pokusevski, while keeping Miles Bridges' cap hold.

<$1M in cap space after trades.
