I know GoK posted this on the previous thread. But looks like Richards is just crushing it, a big that can spread the floor, on a very good contract. Easily worth 2 1st round picks to the right team ;)

I was pissed when Budenholzer didn't take advantage of his mid range game.

I'm happy for Cam. He's gonna give them basically MPJ product for almost half the price.

I also love it for Brooklyn. They have so much money coming off the books over the next two seasons and they get potentially a very juicy FRP as well in 2032.

Ugh...was hoping both Cam and Mikal would stay east, or at least off of our West rivals. Didn't want to have to root against them

Nuggets lost size, athleticism and defense for a chucker. Nobody wanted CamJo and of course they swoop in with the desperation move.

Grizzlies replaced Bane with Jerome? Both teams are definitely worse.

Gambo speculating Suns don't want CP3.

MPJ is jumping/dunking less and less every season, can't bend over to dribble, and can't move is feet because of the brace he is wearing, his body is breaking down. It's kinda amazing he was able to play 60+ games the past 2 seasons. Has great work ethics though, even Jokic says so, he does need to work very hard to stay on the court

I watch a lot of Nuggets game, trust me his defense has regressed a lot this past season. His help defense slipped as well I believe due to his decline in athleticism.

People forgot he almost retire after his 3rd back surgery.

If KD can’t win a title with this group, he owes Curry half his career earnings lol

Hm, not sure where the money for Capela comes from off the top of my head after presumably using NTMLE on DFS. Probly a S&T? Not sure where the minutes are either.

I can see everyone here continues to overrate CamJo. Nets have been trying to move him for over a year.

They had to take on a 38M/year contract just to get him off the team.

KD and his agent worked wonders this offseason.

There is a salary floor that the Nets have to spend. I imagine they prefer to tie that money up into a player that's contract expires in 2 seasons, rather than give it to another player who's contract will extend past that. The 2032 unprotected 1st is also a good bet. Additionally, the Nets just drafted like 5 players in the 1st round of this draft, so they weren't looking to compete this upcoming season anyhow.

Q it doesn't change what I just stated. Clearly nobody else wanted CamJo.
