One of the youngest guys I’ve ever seen take a buyout. Wild.


Yeah,... was surprised to see it. Must have been caught up in the numbers crunch for Paolo's extension?... Cause, whomever broke the news of the trade, included that it was expected for the Grizz to buy him out?...


The Grizzlies have to make room to extend Santi Aldama? and JJJ. So he got caught up in the numbers there also.



Maybe, but he also never has to agree to a buyout. :dontknow:

Ted Wu, Pacer Assistant GM, tells how he got into basketball on the latest Setting The Pace. Of note, before the league office hired him, he says he was a regular on RealGM and the Trade Forum.

Toronto promoted Bobby Webster to the bug chair after all. One more season safe with KP/Chad in charge.

I saw they were trying to trade him to open up space but I’m not sure who they are wanting.

Michael Scotto reports
Just In: The Dallas Mavericks will waive-and-stretch Olivier-Maxence Prosper, league sources told @hoopshype. The former 24th pick of the 2023 NBA Draft is being waived to make room for Dante Exum and duck the second apron. The 23-year-old is expected to draw free agency interest

Yeah, they've been committed to signing Dante Exum for almost 2 months now, and just couldn't get off OMP and his money, I guess. They are VERY close to the hard cap at the 2nd apron, but surprised they couldn't dump his $3m salary with something like $4m in cash, or whatever it takes.

Wild....
