Buyout/Free Agent Thread, 2023-24

Brad Stevens has something sneaky up his sleeve or he is taking an afternoon nap. Don't know which one.

Not that I want him to, but he still has plenty of time to get Saddiq Bey for $20M in tax and a late 1st or two 2nds, once he wakes up from his nap.

What happened to Tyler Bey though? I liked both of the Bey Boys in that draft..

If Brad trades either the 2024 1st round pick or 2026 1st round pick he can get pretty much whoever he wants with the $6.2 million Grant TPE. He just has to figure out if it's worth it.

Magic going deep on the analysis.

Phoenix is killing it and Dallas blowing it. Surprisingly eventful deadline.

What dont you like about Dallas's moves? Just giving up too much? I think they are improving their team with Gafford and Washington.

The cupboards are now bare and they haven't gotten much better. They're not going to get over the hump this year and have basically no avenues to fix that now in the near future.

If this was an edict from Luka's camp to do something, I kind of get it but still don't love it. Ultimately I think this only pushes them further down the road of him leaving rather than pulling them back from falling down that trap.

Perk just loves to hear himself speak. I feel bad for his coworkers when the cameras aren’t on.

“Oh look a squirrel outside! Enjoying the nice spring day! But I was told we were getting rain? See here’s my issue with y’all…”

Hahaha!!!

might be the most underwhelming trade possible for both teams.

[31to6]

Bucks and 76ers both looking like a first-round exit at this point.

odds of this prediction being right: 0.1%

1. BOS
2. MIL
3. CLE
4. NY
5. IND
6. PHI
7. MIA
8. ORL

round 1
BOS over ORL
MIL over MIA?
PHI over CLE (Embiid back?)
IND over NY (don't care, both good)

round 2
BOS over IND
MIL or PHI, don't care

ECF:
BOS over EVERYONE

Which means Dunn and Marshall are both still available for Boston..

Patrick Beverley going to be such a nuisance to deal with in the playoffs.

Wow.
Interesting Movement.

Hayward to OKC is a pretty good move. Hayward does make 30 mils, but his next contract will be way lower, he's a vet, he still plays solid all around ball and rarely does anything stupid. OKC and MIN are legit to me and the West overall with LAC and the champs will be very interesting come playoff time. I really like MIN, but I feel as if lately Towns has been the odd man out... Gobert has been beasting... If they can trade Towns for a more versatile 4 who can play defense and score ~20 a game, they'd be one of the best defensive teams in a while.

Dude's been done before he even got to Duke. I've never understood the fascination with this guy. Yeah, he's a friend of Tatum's, but so what.
