Honestly, wouldn’t surprise me if Kyrie said pay me or I’ll sign with the Lakers for the vet min. :lol:


Ryan McDonough would know from experience with his sweet deals for corpses like Tyson Chandler and Ariza. He shouldnt be allowed to comment on FA's. Slimy little clown

We all know that the cap goes up but it's a shock to see guys like that getting 200 million now.

What are Miami up to? They'd need to find a way to disappear Robinson to get cap space right?

Memphis must think Bane can be the second best player on a championship team because they are paying him like one.

I’d probably take the picks and wait for the next superstar that wants out.

Pretty sure they need to ditch Robinson and Lowry to be able to do more than the MLE. They let Vincent walk and are S&Ting Straus because they refuse to go into the tax.

Maybe they do Herro plus picks for Harden?

I would add Josh Richardson to top value signings.
Dealing with people who exhibit the "smartest person in the room" syndrome can be a challenge. One approach is to listen their opinion while also encouraging open-mindedness. It's important to create an environment where all voices are valued.

Haliburton is a nice player but that’s too much money for him. He’s not a guy who can win you a title.

There's no way that Por gives Grant that insane contract and let's Dame walk. This has to be for Harden or George or someone else.

As another fellow bald, first shaved my head when I was 18, in 1996 where the only EU white shaved head guys where an Italian swimmer Matt Biondi, a tennis player named Andre Aggasi and a basketball player named Sasa Djordgevic.
I never regretted it ... happily my head looks nice with or without hair.
Now, its Lebron's turn

Feeling extra grateful that the FVV to the Bucks trade fell through!

$16m for Max Strus? Who was Cleveland bidding against? (Really would like to know because maybe someone is looking at Grayson Allen as a consolation prize.)

Harden would certainly enjoy the Miami strip clubs and night life.

But dude seems like the opposite of a Pat Riley guy.

On the flip side there’s plenty of history of guys who rehabbed their value by getting in shape on the Heat for a season and then cashing out.

I’d be wondering whether the Heat would be giving Harden that monster long term contract right away or giving him a chance to earn a last payday on the last year of his current contract.

If Micky Arison is afraid of the luxury tax then the prospect of being stuck with a maxed out 38 year old Harden is absolutely terrifying.
