Sam Presti is just playing MyGM right now. Every hour he is probably checking the trade finder and see how he can get more first round picks.

Wall just not want to play with Beal. He’s basically forcing the Wiz to trade Beal because there’s no way anyone will absorb his contract.

Super big loss for the Nuggets IMO. They were grooming him to replace Milsap.

Jamychal Green to Denver to fill the hole at PF/small ball C. I liked him in the playoffs, decent pick and nice contract for a guy who worked hard to make himself a player.

Way better value to have Green at $7.5M/yr vs. Grant at $20M/yr. Unlike our previous front office, Denver usually makes the right move.

Miffed about Harkless to Miami, friggin Heat culture.

We need a 5 or a 4/5 who can hit FTs and play D to finish games when Jojo is out or in foul trouble. Howard is a start or middle of quarters guy, but too hackable at the end of games.

I heard Denver offered 20m per year. But jerami chose to play for Pistons because of a larger role. Which i dont understand why he would want to play any role with the crazy roster built of the Pistons. His role was so perfect for the Nugs

I'm kinda curious about what's going on with John Collins in ATL. They just drafted Okongwu, signed Gallinari, have DeAndre Hunter. Those are three capable PFs in today's game. I imagine they're looking for a SG. Feels like Denver or maybe the Spurs would make the most sense. It's crazy because he feels like a prototypical PF in this league. Stretches the floor well, has generated fouls at a decent rate in the previous two seasons. I feel like he's a lowkey grab now for teams that want a young scorer and might want to sign him long term.

Someone has to go in the ATL frontcourt. Signing Gallo for a decent makes sense for asset stacking purposes. But someone will want out soon enough.

Which teams still has money to sign bogdan? Maybe other teams were turned off by the fact that he blew the whistle on tampering?

I feel like he's what the Knicks hope Obi Toppin will be, which would have made more sense to just trade for Collins and grab Haliburton at their spot.

Wow, Gordon Hayward 120 million? And he's going to play for the Hornets?

Skates · Post #316 » by **Skates** » Sat Nov 21, 2020 7:16 pm

The Charlotte Hornets, land of diminishing returns.

Imagine waiving and stretching your overpaid, over the hill due to age/injuries small forward so that you can give out a new massive 4 year deal to a 30 year old, injury plagued Gordan Hayward

That's a crazy good addition for them.

The cost to retain Jae Crowder became astronomical and his defensive consistency has taken a hit.

Now they get a more consistent defender in Harkless at a fraction of the term/figure. Upgrade all around.

And Crowder walks away with $30 mil over three years from Phoenix. Heat knew what they were doing and Crowder is definitely sliding down hill the last few years. Long term the Heat scare me way more than the Nets do, Kyrie and Durant, I just can't see that going well long term.

I think the Heat are a really strong team in the present, but I do envision them falling off hard when Jimmy Butler exits his prime and Tyler Herro becomes their lead offensive initiator. I see a Booker/Suns, Beal/Wizards, Lavine/Bulls with Herro at the helm.
