The fake insiders are swinging for the fences right now

Julius Randle has until June 30th to make a decision on his player opt which is well after the draft. He doesn’t have to play ball in all of this. T Wolves have so many hoops they have to climb it just doesn’t make any sense.

Julius will implode in Houston if Green and Sengun are getting more shots than him (they likely will) he can not play a support role in any way and will throw temper tantrums every night while not getting back on defense.

Julius Randle not in a contract year is a guaranteed dud imo

The Phoenix Suns are projected to have the first half-billion-dollar payroll in NBA history in the 2025-26 season, with a combined salary and luxury tax exceeding $500 million. This is due to a high payroll and the fact that they are projected to be a "Repeater" luxury tax team

This is just showing how dire there financial situation is and how badly they need to shed salary. When i see names like PG and even Vassell for that matter heading there further adding money and years to there books it has to be met with some sort of chuckle. We present the Suns some major get out of jail free cards.

T Wolves not only have to trade Randle to make anything work but also have to toss in 2 or 3 other pieces if they are not including McDaniels. They would be gutting their team and they have their own tax issues coming up if they don’t play it smart. They can become the Suns really quickly with Edwards the new Booker.

At least ESPN is taking financials into consideration and trying to shed a boat load of money for Phoenix.

This is the upper limit of what I'd want Miami to offer. But, I'm probably OK with this. The net result is 3 years of Durant with Herro/Bam plus any other ancillary moves and then Miami is effectively back in a similar spot as today--with 1 future pick owed (2030), hopefully developed young players (Ware in particular), and hopefully contracts that line up for flexibility in roster reconstruction after a 2-3 year window.

OK if it goes down. OK if it doesn't.

2 with some swaps but keep JJJ and Rozier for another deal. Still the high end of the spectrum that i think can be worked down

More of this. 8-10 attempts at the rim, 3-4 mid range, and 4-5 3s and he’ll average an efficient 22-25 depending on usage/scheme hopefully next to a good playmaker.

This guy is nowhere near Wade. They keep trying to replace our goat in history with the next best thing year after year and it fails every time.

Now everyone going to start talking about blowing it up again because of podcaster talking about it. Pat Riley would never consider these scenarios. He told everyone what the plan was at his press conference. Simmons is just pissed cause he all but guaranteed Durant to Spurs was done. These people are literally guessing at everything right now. The moment Shams mentioned the Heat and us having talks with his agent has caused a bunch of back tracking and bogus innuendo.
