Jerami Grant is going to take a huge jump this year. I really like what Prestie has done even though I think Westrbook is the most overrated athlete from the past few decades.

R.I.P. City

RIP Paul. I had no idea he was this ill.

Hearing Myles Turner getting extended for 4/80m. Bit of a surprise, seemed to be consensus that Pacers would let him go to RFA. Probably a tad unnecessary, but there are tangible psychological/loyalty reasons to just get it sorted now. The amount seems fine. As a Pacers fan I think I'm happy, though talk to me when he does his knee 20 games into the season

EDIT: 4/72m that could go as high as 80m with bonuses. Yea can't complain

DAME needs to demand a trade, RIP Paul Allen and all but DAME needs to gtfoutta Portland immediately

4/45m extension for Nance Jr.

RIP Paul Allen

Dame force your way to the KNACKS!

he should blame it on his extreme fear of ghosts

this made me lol and now I feel bad.

In, let us NBA fellas

Rooting for anybody but the lolWoyas

Myles Turner deal seems good, Larry Nance deal is even better imo. Next year there will be quite a bit of money to throw around, and both guys fit the hard to find role of starting 5/backup 4 or vice-versa that will allow you to get away with less bigs without sacrificing talent.

I would be quite pleased if Trey Lyles got a Nance deal despite less of a sample-size.

Lol, that is awesome. Deserves an embed:

Super happy about that Miles Turner deal. Seems about market rate for his last 2 years productivity and he should still be getting better. Love it.

I think Oladipo is going to bring out the leap in Turner this year. 76ers are SUPER overrated right now. They went on a tear at the end of last season by crushing cans. I think Pacers end up being the 3rd seed if Oladipo stays healthy.

Can the Raptors offer Kawai more than other teams next year?

Bold Prediction: Mitchell Robinson will win Rookie of the year, defensive player of the year, MVP, Finals MVP, and the Oscar for best supporting actress while leading the Knicks to a ship

Tor>Bos>Mil>Ind>Phi>Was

Ya, they can offer an extra year and 7.5%(?) raises instead of 5%(?) raises each year

LET US CELTICS

turner deal seems fine, but still needs to improve some to make it a good signing. pacers can't really afford not to lock up a talented player (lolknicks)

think kyrie spoke abstractly here, but could this quote be a dig at lebron?

Cavs making the playoffs is an insane prediction. I guess someone has to get the 8th seed but I think the Cavs will be horrible.

I keep hearing people say the 76ers are super overrated because of how they finished the season, but before that they were a very young team that lost a bunch of close games. I think they had an expected record of 55-27 last year. I would agree that they're overrated if we assumed no progress from Simmons & Embiid but they should both take leaps again this year. I'd lock them in as the 3 seed if I had any confidence in Embiid staying healthy and playing close to 2500 minutes.

I'm not confident in Turner making a leap but I hope he does. I hope him and Sabonis can play together. I think Sabonis makes another huge leap this year and his play demands 30 mpg (I'm biased, he's my fav player itl). How well those guys play (individually and together) is one of the things I'm most looking forward to watching this year. Hopefully I don't get too tilted watching McMillan's in-game coaching.

Time for season predictions. Some of these are best/worst case scenarios rather than most likely scenarios because they're more fun. I have the Raps with the best point differential, the Nuggets winning 35 home games before getting murdered by playoff Lebron, Lebron not being all-NBA first team and the Warriors not titling. If I was going most likely I'd obv have to pick the Warriors, but I love the field at +160.
