I know this shouldn't be a surprise at this point, but this feels like a mistake. Is he even a top half of the league starting center?

Guys I'd rather have:
Jokic
Embiid
Gobert
Capela
Bam
Sabonis/Turner (I count both as Cs personally)
Vuc
Ayton
KAT
Wood
AD if you count him as a center

And I think he's in the same tier as Holmes, JVal (though he's a more useful player type than JVal probably), Poeltl, Nurk

Seems crazy to give him that much. Make him find an offer sheet out there

You do realize that of the guys you'd rather have, the only one making significantly less than $20m/year are Wood and Ayton? $20m/year is fine. Allen's career should be right in that Capela/Turner range.


Also, Allen is 23 years old. Lets see how that list looks in two years.

Jarret Allen isn’t winning you anything. Garland won’t show up in the playoffs. Mobley is a glorified dunk man. Mitchell has some experience but is a liability on defense. To me, the Cavs are a treadmill team.

There are rumors coming from Jazz reporters that the Jazz are trying to trade for Eric Paschall and possibly Moses Moody with the player who would potentially be going GSW way - Joe Ingles.

Wonder if Nunn is used in a SnT to get another player for Miami? They could attach a 1st and try to find a PF or some cheap depth pieces or something. They also have the MLE. Just gotta be aware of that hard cap.

I love Ingles, but I can't imagine he returns Moody.

Also props to Smitty for breaking TJ back to Indy.


Probably both got it around the same time, but J.Michael of the Indy Star beat him by a minute or so, I believe.

No idea. Those are separate rumors. Might be either/or situation and might be other assets included. No idea. Or might be a failed negotiation that got leaked and won't happen.

“Significantly” doing a lot of work in that sentence.

$20 million a year puts him behind Jokic, Embiid, AD, Gobert, KAT, Vuc and ahead of Capela, Sabonis, Turner, Ayton (for the moment), and Wood

Those guys slightly below Allen are all due new contracts within a year or 2,,,by year 3 or that contract Allen will be below all of them. Does anyone know what year one of his new contracts is? If its 18 million he would still be below everyone but Wood and Rookie contract Ayton.

Smitty says the Celts are looking to keep their 2022 cap sheet clean...so they're not out on Fournier yet, but they're not in either.

Silence on Caruso, THT, Schroeder so far..

Might be some haggling to be had or Lakers just scared off tampering from the Magic days..

Interested in where Lauri ends up. Very little chatter on him.

He's also saying there's speculation around the league that Precious Achiuwa would be kept because Masai likes him and he could become part of a Damian Lillard trade offer.
