Whoa...
First 2 ACC players taken are from.....Florida State. Love it for Leonard Hamilton.
He just never fit here in PA with Simmons. Never lived up to the expectations.I am a huge Josh Richardson fan. Love his game and defense. That’s a big get for Dallas.
Contract is guaranteed so it would be a bit puzzling since they'd be on the hook including total cost toward the soft cap.I wonder if the Thunder cut Horford.
They could cut him and exercise the stretch provision.Contract is guaranteed so it would be a bit puzzling since they'd be on the hook including total cost toward the soft cap.
True, but they would still be on the hook for a portion applied to cap, correct?They could cut him and exercise the stretch provision.
I just can’t figure out why a team that wants to rebuild would take on a player who still might be able to help you win, combined with such a hefty, multi-year contract, for what they got in return.True, but they would still be on the hook for a portion applied to cap, correct?
Edit: some percentage algorithm that you need a statistical PhD to figure out....
Danny Green....??I just can’t figure out why a team that wants to rebuild would take on a player who still might be able to help you win, combined with such a hefty, multi-year contract, for what they got in return.
Perhaps, but he was a second round pick and still and up and coming player. I don’t think anyone lived up to expectations under Brown. I could say that Harris hasn’t lived up to expectations either. Both JJ and Butler had some less than stellar things to say about Brown as a coach. My guess is that he flourishes in Dallas, but the big winner in this is Luca. Richardson can guard the best offensive small, and now Luca can just go to work on offense and play help D.He just never fit here in PA with Simmons. Never lived up to the expectations.

They will play him to rebuild his value then flip him for assets they really want. Eventually some contender will really want him.I just can’t figure out why a team that wants to rebuild would take on a player who still might be able to help you win, combined with such a hefty, multi-year contract, for what they got in return.
Bringing back Rubio makes me wonder if Russell is in their long term plans. He's a guy that can put up huge numbers, but it has never really translated to team success. It'll be interesting to see what moves are made in the coming weeks.Draft was interesting and I think MN taking Anthony Edwards, who allegedly was not impressive in his workouts per several anonymous GMs.... not a good mix when you throw in Karl A-Towns and even D. Russell reputations of not working hard. Will be interested to see how it works out, but assume the pick is intended to replace Andrew Wiggins, who was another talent that had the reputation of not work hard....
This. The how being grab more picks for a team at the deadline that wants a veteran big body.They will play him to rebuild his value then flip him for assets they really want. Eventually some contender will really want him.
Wow! Seth Curry and Danny Green to the 76ers. My team looking stronger and stronger. Honestly happy to move Horford and Richardson out.
I think they like having a bunch of draft picks on their rosters because they are cheap. The working model seems to be have about 2/3-3/4 of your salary tied up in 3 or 4 high level players then have 5 or 6 players on their rookie deals and fill out the roster with cheap old veterans. That model gives the teams a lot of leverage to trade for more draft picks and to consolidate one of the high level and one of the young guys into a big star in a trade. Teams get out of whack when they overleverage and lose all their young players to get stars, but don't have the stars that can win titles (aka not the Warriors or Lebron's current team).With the amount of draft collateral changing hands in these trades, it seems like the league is putting a lot of preference on value on draft picks. Maybe that’s because the cap didn’t go up as was expected before COVID was a thing? Easier to take back picks than contracts.
You likely are correct, but he is 34 years old, undersized at center, where he has had the most success and is making $28 million. A lot of advanced stats suggest that many players do not fade as they age, but drop off of a cliff. Danny Ainge is pretty shrewd and Boston let him walk. There is a chance that his pedestrian play in Philadelphia was as much due to eroding skills as misuse, and it was a poor fit. It will be interesting to see if OKC can rebuild value. Multiple years left on a huge contract, at that age, at a position that is no longer as valued in the NBA and there may not be many takers.They will play him to rebuild his value then flip him for assets they really want.
