Yep, and then take Tacko in the 2nd round. Wouldn't even matter that the team can't shoot 3s worth a damn when they'll be shooting 2s at 75%.

LeBron's career salary is 270M through 16 seasons. Steph is 128M through 10 seasons. KD 187M through 12 seasons. In a cap-less league he makes more but the league has been fair in regards to compensation in my opinion.

*By that point Silver will have changed the Finals to 9 games with 5 rest days between each game so that it becomes a 2 month long affair.

Seems like taking the NFL model of having a game every Sunday is the way to go. Maybe Silver puts a bye week or two in there as well, to give the matchup time to marinate.

In 2 years, LeBron will be going into his age 37 season. Could certainly see him opting out and signing like a 4/60 extension. But yeah I think a Duncan/Brady is definitely on the table at that point if things are going well and the savings can be put towards another star rather than roleplayers or lolLakers wasting it.

But who knows where he will even be at in 2 years. That is also the George/Giannis offseason.

THIS.

Also since Tacko is the ultimate Zion stopper it makes perfect sense to acquire him yourself. This way no one will ever be able to stop Zion!

Sounds like chemistry issues.

Also, no one seems to care that NO still has a terrible coach

Zion is the de facto coach now.

Like, it's almost certainly a bluff (if it's even been said), but if you're Pelinka can you really take that chance? Imagine if he calls the bluff and they really do trade him to someone else. His head is insta on a spike if this deal somehow falls through. He I agree he still probably should just call them on it and wait, giving up the freedom for a max FA is too much of a cost, but I can at least understand just wanting to get the deal locked in if Pels are making threats.

Kyle Lowry's HOF probability as per bbref went up to 65% from 48% as per their formula. Assuming 1-2 more decent years is he a lock/near lock for the HOF now with a title?

I want the Lakers to get Kyrie or Kawhi and ship this year while Durant and Klay re-sign and recover in Oakland San Francisco. Then next year a Kawhi-Bron-Brow vs a fully weaponized death star lineup for all the narratives marbles.

Not sure what I hope happens for the Sixers. Butler at a max will be bad in the future, but damn if the team isn't so nice right now if he and Harris stay.

Hope Middleton and Lopez stay with the Bucks.

I dont understand some of the narrative about KD leaving ?
Shouldnt he stay next year with the warriors since now his injured ?
What does he gain by leaving now ?
He might able to come back if his lucky for the playoffs this year with a great team and sign max deal next year with or without GS ?
And seeing what will happen this year he will be in a better position to make a clearer decision knowing where everyone else going to end up and whos winning the nba title this year ?

AD won't waive his trade kicker and Lakers are only gonna have 23.7m in cap room? Wtf was the point of the trade then?

Just go there in a year! jesus LeBron/Rich Paul must have something on him

He’s no better than mike Conley, but BBREF uses all-star game* appearances in their formula, so he performs well.

Rampant raptors* homerism prolly has him 50/50, but imo not deserving

Does getting traded this offseason allow Davis to sign a five-year max contract with the Lakers a year from now instead of a four-year deal?

If so, how much more does Davis make on top of the $4 million trade kicker?

It does, Lakers have his bird rights now.

It is believed that Klutch is going to have him sign a 2+1 so that he can get a 10yr vet max though.

Dunc'd on pod breaking down AD deal was pretty good

Best part was highlighting the challenges that Lakers will have filling out the roster and also talking how LeBron is a 4 on D at this point in his career and so is Kuz so Kuz might be an asset but he's going to have a difficult time being part of their best 5 man lineup unless it is bad defensively.

Kuz is up there in terms of guys whose %ages are a lot worse than their results (33 for career from 3). Ironically, another one is Klutch client and Laker KCP (35).

Nah Lowry's been consistently better imo. Neither has gargantuan bulk stats, but both are regularly some of the best +- guys and quite valuable, KyLo moreso.

I'm not a huge proponent of single-year RPM, but the multi-year stuff is imo the best catch-all stat out there, and here are their league-wide ranks since inception.

Lowry - 21,26,7,10,9,17
Conley - 14,70,31,16, Hurt,31

Lowry has 3 seasons in the top ten and only two out of the top 20. Conley has zero in the top ten and 4 out of the top 20. And he's fun as hell to watch imo.
