[Charania] Porzingis To Atlanta - Mann & #22 To Brooklyn - Niang & 2nd Rounder To Boston

All this to save money for the Celtics?

That second apron is a beast. If you can’t compete, you just don’t pay that.

this isnt the second apron issue, this is the repeater tax that extremely punitive now.

That second apron is a beast. If you can’t compete, you just don’t pay that.

The consequence will be that, the star players will be evenly distributed around the league, as most teams dont want to pay 2 max players and definitly not 3.

Really glad Porzingis is off the table. We already have one newcomer that we will all be hoping plays 60 games, don't need another one.

Brooklyn can easily draft and stash some players.

Hawks should draft Cedric Coward at #13. Maybe Traore?

PG Trae - Dyson
SG Dyson - Coward - Bufkin
SF Risacher - Krejci
PF JalenJohnson - Okongwu
C Okongwu - Porzingis

Would’ve been nice to get him for RJ.

But looks like it’s gonna be a bidding war between BKN and NOP for Bailey.

I don't think that's how it's gonna play out, I think it'll just end up suppressing salaries across the board. Guys who are fringe MLE calibre will be pushed down to minimum contracts, and guys at the upper echelon are going to take paycuts to stay in good situations like Gobert did last year.

Remember when Mann was declared untouchable by the Clippers FO, but he was like already 27 and still a scrub? Good times.

There's gotta be more salary going back to the Celtics no?

no, Nets are using up their cap flexibility to make this happen. +15.5M for the Nets, -22.5M for the Celtics, +7M for Hawks. I don't understand how Porzingis is considered that valuable in this.

Brooklyn is targeting a second lotto pick

They have to be they can't fit that many players on their roster

[M3tro]

And yet we're still waiting on the sidelines hesitant to jump in the NBA double-dutch ring.

[HangTime]

What if, Brooklyn offered
Cam Johnson, #19, #22, #26, #27 for for RJ and #9.

Phoenix loves getting a bunch of **** 1sts for lottery picks.

Draft and stash, there are plenty of interesting player in that range.
