What's up with the Salt Lake Summer League only having 4 teams, what is the point of a 6 game season?

This feels like a Sacramento-type move to me.

Lines up with WCS wanting out on his RFA and Barnes opting out. I wouldn't be surprised if they'd like to keep Bagley primarily at the 4 (at least for a while).

If someone were to set a line on Zions career earnings from strictly nba salary, what do you think it would be. In 10 years I could see max deals being 5 years $300+ million. I think his line would need to be $500+ mil

Surprised there's no discussion on Iguodala saying he was "fighting the team" on his injury last year. Lots of implications on KD's free agency

AD waiving his trade kicker of 4M a few days before the draft.

Could be some big dominoes falling down...

Kawhi on da way?

Maybe Kyrie and LeBron having heart to heart talks. 3 Players capable of scoring 25+ppg efficiently would an offensive firepower.

I tend to think he wanted to make some headlines as he is selling a book. He didn't comeback until gm 3 of the Cavs series last year and GS was clearly in control with or without him.

I can't imagine the Warriors put that much pressure on him to play even though it was possibly a stressful time for him being injured and his team facing b2b elimination games in the playoffs.

And wow that would suck if Lakers got Kawhi. Seems very plausible he would go there too. LeBron is old so he'll get to be the man sooner than later, he can basically be the #1 offensive option and AD is the best player in the league to pair with him.

And unlike KD who could be criticized to no end for jumping to GS, it is a lot tougher to do so with Kawhi since he is coming off a ring with the Raptors.

don't get the talk about having room for a max even with that trade kicker being waived.
Someone show me the maths on how they could afford to max kyrie/kahwi/jimmy/whoever and put a basketball team on the court with reserves

Or are they switching this season to 3v3 to prepare for the olympics?

What they do is they sign the max guy first, before July 6th, then execute the trade by matching salaries. So with Lonzo, Ingram, Hart, the other stiffs, #4 and trading those guys, they have 32.5m in cap room to sign Kemba. Then the trade works because matching salaries works with AD waiving his kicker.

I believe this is correct but may have left a minor detail or two out. That is the crux of it tho.

gotcha. i think he joins the clippers too, but i think he would have taken either LA spot and lebron got to the lakers first.

either way the two LA teams pitching against the Raptors* is bad news for Toronto. someone in Kawhi's camp is letting them down gently with "The Raptors couldn't have done anything more to impress kawhi", but if it meant something he wouldn't be taking 5 meetings at his LA home

LeBron / AD / Kawhi + Kuzma and minimum players >> Milwaukee / GS / Houston in 7 game series.


The 2011 Heat had Mike freaking Bibby as their point guard and barely any shooters. Still went to 6 games in the finals.

Lakers would be like -250 to title with Kawhi

Don't think they would get MLE tho, just room exemption which is like 4.7
