Sixers not matching. Dude is 25 and still can't shoot, dribble or pass. Nurse doesn't need the headache teaching. Mamba is now the backup. From what i watched in the summer league, there could be a couple guys who will get big squad minutes.
Plus they resigned trezz....who i thought got screwed by doc for limited playing time.
So much for that...sixers matching offer
Pistons sign Isaiah Stewart to an extension, 4/$64M. Am I missing something? Doesn't that seem like a massive overpay? BobMc?
Yeah, it seems weird. He can play D and score a bit. he's a starter. if he could shoot he'd be worth the money. But he's been a 33% 3 point shooter all three years in the league. I know he shot well the first third of the season, but then he regressed. Seems like a big bet that he can get better from the arc.Quote:

I don't know how anyone watches NBA Summer League. That shit is open gym level crap.
"Oh look its Wemby, the greatest thing to ever come out of France since wine! You have to watch him brick 75% of the shots he takes against NBA has-beens and also-rans and never-will-bes! It's must see July TV!"
- Steven A. Probably.
Come on man, they give rings to the winning teams....... All I have to say is Jerryd Bayless was summer league MVP.Quote:

I’m ok with the deal. Beef Stew plays hard, he’s a good defender and by all accounts a great teammate. I’d much rather management spend money on guys they know instead of reaching for a free agent.Quote:

$16M/year is nothing in the NBA nowadays. Good deal for the pistons.
Especially in the next few years. I believe the new CBA allows for an up to 10% increase in the salary cap per year and the report I heard is they expect it to hit the max every year for at least the next 5ish years.Quote:

I like the signing of Bball Paul. Also Trezz is 29 and still can’t shoot, dribble, pass or jump anymore. What are they going to do with Kork? Maybe nurse gives him some burn to try and get his value up?

$16M isn't nothing, that's solid starter money. It puts him around 100th in the league, with 30 teams. Is he the 4th or 5th best player on a playoff team?Quote:

11 and 8 playing 30 mins a night, he’s young, plays really good defense, with improving numbers? Sounds like a solid starter.Quote:

That was worth the contract as far as I’m concerned.
That’s fair.Quote:

Brown is max worthy but not supermax. That contract is really going to limit Boston's ability to fill out the backend of their roster in the coming years. It kind of sucks how the supermax was supposed to help teams retain their guys but now it's almost a punishment with the current cap structure.
Seriously? I was actually hoping they'd get rid of Brown.
Every new max contract is the richest in NBA history. Their options were SuperMax, trade him for .50 on the dollar, or let him walk. Such is the reality of today's NBA.
They really need the difference between a supermax and a max to not count against the cap and second apron luxury tax. It's so obvious and yet... here we are.
They don't need both Js. Tatum is the better one.
We should’ve kept Smart. I’m always down for 2 j’s
Oh no....Harden removed the 6ers from his social media outlets. Someone take him...please
Lol. I’d love to see an all-toxic decade team. Surely he’d be on it.Quote:

While something like that is horrifying as a parent, I have to wonder how this will affect LeBron’s desire to keep playing in the hopes of playing with Bronny in the league one day. I’m not sure id want my son to keep playing knowing how high cardiac arrest incidents are among those athletes under 40 with congenital heart conditions (assuming that’s the case here). Anyway, glad he’s ok from what it seems.
I like Brogdon. Hope he's healthy.Quote:

Mama there goes that man. Mark Jackson is fired from ESPN. Booyah.
Really curious why he wasn’t included w Gundy
earlier I saw reports that he was being demoted to second team, maybe he complained about that so they cut him loose?Quote:
