That trade by Pelicans looks better by the day. Three weeks ago people on here were actually laughing at Hayes and Alexander-Walker being part of return for Anthony Davis and both of them have been excellent in Summer League so far and have shown some skills which should comfortably translate to ‘adult’ NBA.

Hayes is awesome as well. Seems like he might have some decent range with his shooting (has a good touch and scored one three in SL) and his athleticism and defense are already very, very good.
 
Dame neither drop dead gorgeous nor ugly. Collins has been idol looks, not necessarily best looking but the smooth skin, big eyes, perfect teeth magazine cover look. What has this to do with the thread title?

Who was doing that..?
 
Can someone explain to me how the fucking Warriors signed Willie Cauley-Stein for 1.7M ?!?!?!
Jesus, we're paying Anthony Toliver more!

There are scrubs in the league who get paid much more than this, why are 29 teams helping the Warriors stay relevant ?

It's the offseason where nothing much relevant is talked about now that all of the big name FAs have been signed.

Well a) It’s SL, who knows how any of these guys turn out. b). I get that NO got back a lot of assets for AD, but unless one or two of those assets actually become Stars, Im still not sold that it was all that amazing.
I mean I get it the quantity of question marks that NO got is ridiculous, but time will tell if any of those question marks are worth it. Im not as high as some are of just having a ton of draft picks, yes you can flip them sometimes, but every year there are far more guys drafted who dont last in the NBA then there are guys who do.

Portland is paying Tolliver $1,620,56. That is the scale amount for a veteran with 2 years experience. Tolliver is making $2,564,75. The difference between what Portland is paying and what Tolliver is making is paid by the league. And the charge against Portland's cap is the amount Portland is paying because Tolliver only has a 1 year contract

the Blazers are paying Hezonja$1,737,145, which is the scale amount for a vet in his 4th season. I'm assuming the reason this is higher than Tolliver's salary is because Portland signed him to a 2 year deal.

so, if Cauley-Stein is making 1.7M I would assume his situation is the same one as Hezonja
 
Isaiah Hartenstein has agreed to push back the guarantee date on his contract with the Rockets.
Hartenstein's contract was originally set to be fully guaranteed on July 15, but pushing it back allows the Rockets to have more flexibility as they navigate their offseason. The team signed Tyson Chandler to a one-year deal, which makes Hartenstein more expendable than he was previously. Hartenstein did not play in the Rockets' Summer League finale after spraining his right ankle.

He’d fit into the Layman TPE. If he hits the market I’d be allll over it.

I don’t get the Boston hype. Maybe the thinking is that Kyrie was that detrimental to their overall success because he killed their chemistry.

Agreed. Walker may be an upgrade, but they lost their front court in Horford and Baynes. They lost their back up point guard in Rozier. They got worse.
 
I also don't understand the hype for Philadelphia. Yeah they got Horford and Richardson which help make a hell of a starting 5 (Simmons, Richardson, Harris, Horford, Embiid) but they barely have a bench. I don't think they are as good as they are made out to be. It certainly helps they are in the east.

So Marcus Morris fired Rich Paul because he advised him to turn down a 40+ million dollar contract from the Clippers?

Shitty agent.

Well, he didn't have to follow his advice. Wouldn't be the first agent who gave bad advice on occasion.

It happened to Nerlens Noel too who also fired him. Turned down a nice offer from Dallas. 4 years $70 million.
Now he’s making about $2 million a season.

Well for me it’s definitely much better than keeping him against his will for a year and then losing him for nothing though I am aware a lot of people would prefer that.

Another offer of similar magnitudes wasn’t out there for sure unless we are willing to believe Barrett would have been a more enticing asset than anything they got here.

For me if 2-3 of the players they got can turn out to be A- level players and compliment Zion well that deal is already great.

That I never understood. Did Noel think he could become a max level player or what? He’s likely not going to exceed $10million in a season again in his career and I wouldn’t even bet that he will receive $70million combined in the next 10 seasons.

Well for sure they were in a bad situation and at least got something for him. I guess my point is, I think we know the quantity sounds like a lot, Im not sure we know yet if the quality is much.

I think I said when it happened oh they shouldve sat him next year and tanked another season, but obviously getting something is better than nothing and that plan wasnt a good one.
Its hard to find. A level players theres maybe 15-20 of them in the entire league. So yeah if they got 2-3 then that’d be ok...

Id trade next years 1st for him
 
Back in 2017 when Clippers traded Paul to Rockets, I don't think many would have expected that the Clippers got a much. much better end of that deal. Fast forward two years and Beverley, Lou Williams and Harrell are integral pieces of Clippers team and have helped them acquire Kawhi and PG13 while Rockets struggled to offload Paul in a trade and had to attach two first round picks and two swaps to turn him into Westbrook, who isn't that great of a fit for them either. How many firsts it would take for them to turn Paul into Beverley, Williams and Harrell now - 8?

Portland Trail Blazers: Constructing ideal Danilo Gallinari trade package
The Portland Trail Blazers have long needed a third scorer to become title contenders. Packaging a deal for Danilo Gallinari may be their best option.

Following the recent implosion of the Oklahoma City Thunder, their assets have become available to the open market as they look to make the most of their historic war chest of draft assets. Danilo Gallinari was recently acquired in the trade that sent Paul George to the LA Clippers and should be at the top of the Portland Trail Blazers list of priorities......
