2025 Offseason Thread Vol.5

[Crazy-Canuck]

Getting giddey and picks for herro, then getting a cost controlled Beal? That would be an underrated win. Not the best defensive backcourt, but still miles ahead of anything with herro. And I could absolutely see the bulls selling themselves on a less athletic lavine.

Looking at that dudes page it looks like he’s been trolling Giddey to the Heat for awhile, fake news unfortunately

Correct, need another Jimmy to put next to Bam and hopefully a better overall supporting cast as opposed to a guy who plays one side of the ball (until he can’t in the playoffs) and gets picked on defensively to the point teams are coming out and saying that’s their plan in the media. I’m not confident they can land that guy again though if he’s not directly tied to Wade like Jimmy was.

The Rusillo sentence that was cut off to begin the clip began with questioning the money Bam is about to get and thats why a potential Herro extension is even more of a problem. The tenor of the conversation was that neither one is worth what they'll be getting paid

Bam is easily worth his percentage of the cap and he’s earned it and proven it when it’s mattered most.

Ideally, we should have a $50–60 million 1A superstar on the roster which we currently lack, while Herro and Bam should be on more reasonable deals in the $25–30 million range.

Unfortunately, since we're still searching for that true 1A star, developing our young players is a must to increase their trade value down the line and attach it with Bam or Herro.

Neither Herro nor Bam really deserves a $50 million payout, but with the salary cap constantly rising, teams are almost forced to extend core players and hope those contracts become valuable trade assets in the future.

Bulls dont even want to meet Giddey’s contract demands, now they’re going to sell themselves on extending Herro and send picks to boot?

We only have 6 million to spend under the tax

Refusing to trade Herro for guys like Mitchell and Kyrie then agreeing to do so for Giddey sounds like this FO tbh.

The guys you were just agreeing with disagree. Take it up with them. Bam has been a undervalued #2. Now will he be properly paid as the most expensive player on the team? Thats up to him.

How do we feel about Norman Powell?

Get ready

That’s fine, at least they got one of them right. No one can shoot 100%

Did you see what Booker just got? 1A’s are now going to get $75 million a year. Fifty a year for complimentary pieces who are also All Stars is the new normal.

Great backup to Herro but doubt the Clippers trade him for Wiggins. They are going to want to keep him. They have other pieces to trade besides Powell like Bogdonovic and DJJ. Powell is an LA guy and a Leonard favorite.

Yeah, it's pretty much what I mentioned at the end, FO has no choice but to give them both $50 mil.

Personally, I think $75 million is ridiculous. Only guys like Jokic, SGA, and Giannis deserve that kind of payday.
