Just out of curiosity, what's the job? No particulars or names necessary (if it's like a government agency or something). I'm just curious as to what kind of industry would make those restrictions.

BTW, that Van Vleet contract is the craziest thing I've ever seen. I was just saying recently that Zach Lavine's contract isn't going to look so bad in a couple of years. Turns out that moment came earlier than I'd expected.

Only thing I can think of is maybe the Rockets had to spend that money to get to the floor, and maybe they made it a decreasing contract so it'll be like $35M in the 3rd year and he'll be a valuable expiring. Otherwise, SMDH.

Even if you had to spend money the floor you'd spread out on shorter deals, no? I literally thought his contract was a typo Thats gotta be the worst contract in the league right?

Must be cyber security or some private sector covert operations.

Is it just me or does this team look like it could be blown up this offseason?

Seth Curry to the Mavs. Could’ve helped the Sixers as a shooter.

It's kind of amusing watching all of these other teams overpay for high end role players. Suddenly our cap situation doesn't seem so dire atm.

It seems really bad. But not as bad as Ben Simmons'.

Celtics get Brissett. One guy I've been keeping an eye on since the end of 21-22. Of course he'll probably become a nice contributor in Boston.

I’m scared and and excited at the same time. This feels wide open.

our depth has gone (not that Niang and Shake mean much but still) and we have no moves at all. Do something, Morey.

Wonder how much he got? Woj just reported 2 years. Anyone know?

Off the bench, sure. But he and Maxey would be the smallest and worst defensive 2 guard combo in the league.

Plus he might be feeling some type of way after we just fired his father-in-law lol.

its funny that every offseason everything we can do it held up by a trade that has to be made.

It wouldn't be the Sixers if this didn't end in a Wagnerian three month epic

He got their 4 million biannual exception. Not very much.

I think Seth would’ve been a good addition if we traded Maxey or Melton, but not as currently constructed. Limit 2 midgets per roster imo.
