Around the NBA (Part Four)

[Mattya]

Zach LaVine, Christian Braun, Jakob Poelt, Patrick Williams, De’aron Fox, Jerami Grant, Paul George are worse contracts currently in the NBA let alone all time.

[TimberKat]

Completely agree.

The season really needs to start.

I mean that's a crazy statement. One of the worst? Really?

He was a starter for a Finals team two years ago.

He's a middle of the road center. I don't want him here, but there's no reason Milwaukee should try to find someone to take his contract.

Plus he went from one of the best passers in the league to playing with nobody to set him up. He would absolutely be a good fit here if Joan shows out and has the right contract length to not screw our finances long term. It’s what you get on top of Turner being in a bad situation that could also matter long term.

May still have to look at him, if we want to save 10Mil from Gobert's salary to sign DDV.

How about a three teamer, Rudy to Atlanta, Okongwu and filler to Bucks and Turner and picks to the wolves?

How many 1sts do we get?

I rather have okongwu and filler at the 4 and go for Joan at the 5.

At least 3 maybe 4 ,Turner is a negative asset now but his play will improve significantly with a pg like Lamelo.

For what he gave them last year, yes, that's a horrible contract for Turner.

If he's putting up 17/7/2, anchoring the defense, and shooting in the high 30s from 3 like he did his last 3 years in Indiana, it's not a bad deal.

We're paying Gobert 36.5/38 the next 2 years, if he has a down year you culd say the same thing about him.

But Rudy always brings it. I trust in his dedication to his fitness and the game to keep him playing at a high level. Thankfully we have Le Berricade for whenever Rudy declines.

Dude can't even stay healthy during the offseason. Appears to be a 5+ month recovery.

Ouch. I respect Williams a lot and Phoenix can't afford losing him.

[BlacJacMac]

He's made of glass and allergic to defense.

Should force the Suns to give more minutes to Maluach.

Memphis is located 395 miles from their closest Western Conference opponent.

Minneapolis is located 809 miles from our closest Western Conference opponent.

Memphis has 5 closer than 809 miles.

That’s why it’s geographically the most logical choice for conference realignment.

Historically, Minneapolis is the last outpost before hitting western USA. We compete with Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, and Milwaukee in just about every sport.

I think you're both preaching to the choir here....none of us need to be convinced.

The beautiful thing is going to be double the 6 pm starts and half the 9:30-10 pm starts!

Bey just got paid…seems like a good deal for both sides. Now we can trade Rudy for Bey and Missi next year.

[Neeva]

yea no Bey is overrated, bad d and inconsistent offense and Missi is not a starting level center and never will be.Wolves can do better.

[minimus]

Good luck NOP.

I wish MIN and Donte agreed on extension already. Under the 2023 CBA, Minnesota can offer up to 4 new years (making the total contract 5 years including the final existing season). A first-year extension salary 140% of his final-year salary, which will be around 78.62 million over 4 years. I'd offer 70 million over 4 years, with last year team option.

I've seen a lot of people think this is an amazing contract. I think it's fine. I personally question if George is a 1A or 1B to build a winning culture around, but I get that he has been productive. The beauty of $30M AAV is they can get off of it Randle style if they need to. But do they upgrade from him or just sell him off for more picks?

No thanks
