Around the League: 2022-23 Season 3.0

[Jailblazers7]

Without Harden last year, Maxey averaged 25/5/4 on 46/43/80 shooting. If he can do that for a full season, then he prob gets a 5/200M extension with minimal negotiation. And if he gets his assists closer to 7 per game it's an absolute no brainer.

Maxey at 25/7/4 on 40+ 3p% is close to a top 25 player.

Play in your role and star in your role

Maybe he wanted to be a sixth or seventh option instead.

I also dont know how he CANT be a 4th-5th option on this stacked rockets team. He actually has a better shot to be a 3rd option with the Grizz

[Negrodamus]

Oh so the Rockets really blew it with their signings, lol.

[Jailblazers7]

I feel like the Rockets are really betting the farm on Udoka being able to manage his personality.

This was supposed to be the summer where he got humbled with an MLE but instead got a long-term $80 mil contract.

[Kobblehead]

I feel bad for guys like Amen and Tari. They have to develop on a team full of jackass "get mine" guys. At least Kenyon Martin got the hell out of there.

Report: Elton Brand ‘will continue to draw consideration’ from teams for possible president roles


It seems there are franchises interested in potentially having Elton run their basketball operations.

Little wonder so many never advance beyond competing for the play-in now and then.

Yet gave up five 1sts (including Kessler), a pick swap, and 3 role players for Gobert. Wow.
