Around the League: 2022-23 Season 3.0

[the_process]

Back in the day, Duncan was making like $15-17m and guys like Parker and Ginoboli were making like $8-9m each.

If Embiid is making like $50m, I need Maxey in a $25m annual mark, at highest. Otherwise, let someone else pay him.

Parker was making $12.5M/yr which would put Maxey at ~$33M, which is probably in the ball park where he’ll land if a guy like Herro is a good comp.

$25m is my cheapo comfort mark, but a little over $30 is tolerable.

But after Hali and Bane's deals, I'm worried Maxey is going to be asking for annual salary over $40m. Which is ridiculous for a 6'2" guy.

Maxey is definitely over 40M per now, unless he has a bad year. And now Dame is available finally.

Maxey is looking a lot like trade bait right now.

[Kobblehead]

Yeah, that figure is inconceivable to me for a player that size. Definitely trading him if that's the case.

I see the WT and "the Sixers won't trade Maxey for anything".

Yet... that's a nice way to inflate value.

"Sorry you can't have it, off limits".

"Well, now I HAVE to have it! Here's everything!"

Yeah for Jalen Brown ...

[brannigan73]

Why would Maxey accept anything but the maximum money he could get on an extension? Look what Desmond Bane got. That doesnt mean you trade him for Damiam Lillard. You are not winning a title with Embiid and Lillard. You probably arent going to win a title with Embiid and Maxey either my feeling is to get Lillard you basically are going to have a rosters where the top four players are Embiid, Lillard, Harris, and Melton. I honestly would rather play around and see if we could have a roster where the top four players would be something like Embiid, Maxey, Lavine, and Harris or Embiid, Maxey DeRozan, and Harris or any other numbers of things. Just no to Dame Lillard unless somehow we get him and a quality role player or two. If its basically subtracting Harden and Maxey from this roster and adding Lillard and think that will be better your squinting really hard!

[LeonJordanJr24]

Harden isn't getting traded ... Maxey is restricted we can match his offers. Tobias is the one to trade watch.

With the Pacers getting Toppin, and the Sixers planning for FA 2024... I don't think Harris is getting moved either.

They are taking the run it back gap year concept to it's extreme outcome.

[Embiid P]

LaMelo just got an extension equal to Haliburton's. I hope his ankle holds up for their sake.

Is that a joke?

Well, the Hornets have been a joke for 2 decades now so …

[Embiid P]

Wow. Dillon Brooks just signed with the Rockets for 4 years $80 million. Who would have ever thought?

[Arsenal]

Wow. Dillon Brooks just signed with the Rockets for 4 years $80 million. Who would have ever thought?

Rockets are a joke. They should have maxed out Harden instead lol.

[the_process]

Harden on a 4 year max would have been much better for Houston than Brooks 4-80 and FVV 3-130. They'd still have 13M to spend too.

So Houston dumped a bunch of young guys for nothing... to give Brooks extra cash? Good Lord, and I thought Morey was bad.

[Skates]

Adding FVV over Harden seemed like a good fit for a young team needing a high character leader, at an insane price mind you, but then overpaying Dillon Brooks and his inefficiency and nonsense sends the opposite message from leadership and class and how to be a pro.

I cant think of a worst way to spend 200 million dollars then Fred Vanvleet and Dillon Brooks. Its like they were itching to spend money. Dillon Brooks was horrible last year and Fred is a nice player who is coming off one of his weaker years. FVV is also over-ated as a shooter I was looking at his stats and he routinely does not reach 40% from the field and has a career true shooting percentage of .543. Even a declinig Harden is a much better player then FVV. They must really care a lot about character. Harden is still a favorite of most of the fans in Houston and whether you like his style of play or not is a better point guard then FVV. Harden routinely makes passes FVV cant.

My thing is why sign Dillon Brooks if they care so much about character?

[sixers4real]

I’m keeping an eye on Jaylen Brown. Will Boston sign extension or not?
The reports are that they will, but they have not yet

[Murray_17]

He cannot get over 40 millions unless he gets an all NBA nod.

Maxey is looking a lot like trade bait right now.

He cannot get over 40 millions, his max under the rose rule is between 40 and 41 millions. His max right now, in 24-25, would be around 35 millions. He can only get 25% of the cap

To reach the 40 millions he needs to get an all NBA nod this year, which allows him to get 30%.

If you read he wants 42 million, you read clickbait. His max can get over 42 millions after like the third year of it basically, but by the end of his contract the money would pass 50 millions (same as Bane).

That's what Bane got.

So … it’s better to keep Harden and thereby prevent Maxey from getting more touches and a chance of getting that All-NBA nod (and thereby save us some money)?
