An early summer 2024 thread

Wacky, possibly entertaining team... not much of a contender

Beard - Dunn - Bones?
Mann - Norm - KPJ (suspended?)
DJJ - Coffey - Miller
Klaw - Batum - Kobe
Zu - Bamba - Kai

Kai Jones' highlights are freakish, I like the flyer on him... and if he's better off in the big leagues with a lot of eyes on him trying to keep him straight than down in Oceanside, give him a roster spot.

I wonder what the final roster looks like on opening night because I think a trade or 2 more is coming

whatever the case i'll be more excited for the start of this season than perhaps those in recent memory

You forgot Cam Christie. He's not under a two way contract like Miller.

Nice catch... bye bye Bones?

He has an explosiveness that Moussa will never have. Keep your head on straight, work hard with the coaches, and with that body and explosiveness you will stick around in the league. I don't know about his motor though.

pretty excited to see how kai jones works out, for sure.

I know the west is super competitive. And definitely odds are against the team. But I do feel like one trade with the right piece can get the team to being competitive. Norm, PJ, Bones, Kobe Brown, Coffey being the trade chips (besides PJ, I appreciate all of them and wouldn't mind them staying). I'm surprised they can't get a starter. I don't love Mann and DJJ together. I get defensively it probably helps and alleviates pressure off Kawhi and James but offensively I think it's a bit underwhelming. I still think Kyle Kuzma, Jeremy Grant, DeAndre Hunter, even Malcolm Brogdon would be good gets, but they seem like a long shot.

Jarett Allen 3 year / 91 million contract.
Isaiah Hartenstein 3 year / 87 million contract

I wonder how much Zubac gets?

I would think more than Hartenstein but less than Allen?

Each time he's signed I've thought he could squeezed out a little more dough, so I'm hoping for that again. He may value long term stability over a few extra bucks.

Probably won't need that much. They have to extend him this year, but evidently they don't want to.

Yikes.. Good luck with the podcast Philly. Not our problem anymore

X-Moon off to Russia

He’ll join a Zenit St. Petersburg team that is coming off a 26-10 season in VTB United League play and will be looking to knock off perennial powerhouse CSKA Moscow next season. Zenit has been prohibiting from EuroLeague competition since February 2022 due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

why would any one visit let alone play in Russia? Hasn't the high profile political prisoner examples made an impression on people?
