Wade is gonna be bought out after the ASB and join LeBron.

Melo will get traded somewhere as the Knicks wallow again in the 8-12 lottery region.

LMA will eventually get traded to a team who wants a post presence, Spurs getting back seemingly little and turning that into solid rotation pieces. Love is staying put until LeBron's contract runs out.

Rondo is still good enough to be a starter. And contrary to belief, if he's on a team he's happy with he's one of the best leaders in the league, at least that's what his celtics teammates say. Glen davis said hed rather play with rondo than cp3.

>Even though Rondo is a surprising name to be linked to the Lakers, he does check a few boxes for what the Lakers are looking for. Despite drafting Lonzo Ball with the second overall pick, the Lakers could use another point guard on the roster. Also, it appears that Rondo is fine with taking a one-year deal.

I had to look it up. You're right, the teams with the most cap space (Brooklyn, Indiana, Sacramento, Denver) all have a young center in place already. However, the only team that isn't gonna be chasing someone like Otto Porter or KCP is Phoenix, who may want an upgrade over Alex Len.

Blake can still be a beast, the year Paul got hurt he averaged 24 and 9.

Now the team is his, he's got the ball in his hand more and their depth isn't terrible. Beverly and Williams are good starters and Harrell and Dekker are decent bench players

If they can somehow get Gallinari they're pretty set imo

>>76903812

The Thunder beat the Spurs and had the Warriors by the balls last playoffs before they choked.

Even without Durant they still won 47 game this year, adding PG will only help them.

>“When you don’t win and don’t even make the playoffs, and don’t even stay on the court long enough, that’s the best thing you can do is Tweet, make some stuff,” Ball said, via Liberty Ballers. “Ain’t nobody else doing that, because they’re working on their game in the gym. These guys ain’t played a game, always hurt, and at the bottom of the totem pole. So guess what, get your a**es off the goddamn Tweeter, and get in the gym.”

>“Add their games up and see how they turn the program around. LSU (where Simmons attended) wasn’t turned around, they’re great players. They’re good, they made it to the NBA, they’re good kids that can play,” Ball said. “Both of ’em played in college and didn’t uplift their team. I ain’t got nothing against Fultz, that boy can play, but if you really that good, your team gotta go at least .500 if you got a bunch of blind midgets.”

3 years isn't a big deal. The team will grow as he declines in the first 2, and he's valuable as a trade asset or as future cap space in his final year.

Also, I'm sure Jokic won't be a UFA unless the team picks up his team option. If they don't pick up his team option (which they won't), then he becomes a RFA that year, and Denver will obviously offer 5 year max.

really depends on his season this year

small point guards don't age well, he's already a liability on defense and will be 30 by the time he plays out that contract.

still his ability to score is insane, although i think he can easily get shut down in the playoffs. still it's probably an okay contract only if the third year is a partial guarantee or a team option

Sixers are gonna have home court advantage in the first round fosho, Look at this fucking depth chart:

PG - Markelle Fultz
SG - JJ Reddick
SF - Robert Covington
PF - Ben Simmons
C - Joel Embiid
6 - Dario Saric
7 - Jahlil Okafor
8 - Amir Johnson
9 - TJ McConnell
10 - Nik Stauskas

They're so stacked it's stupid, even solid NBA players like Jerryd Bayless who could contribute to a title team might not even crack the rotation. Sixers honestly might even be contenders at this point.

How can you call it stacked when foundation is composed of question marks?
Fultz - rookie
Redick - consistent production
Covington - excellent defense, but inconsistent shooting, poor ball-handling and can't finish at rim
Simmons - rookie
Embiid - questionable health
Saric - big heart and effort, but slow, high-volume shooter with poor 3-pt mechanics
Okafor - Okafor
Johnson - ?
McConnell - grit, good passer, poor shooter
Stauskas - good 3-pt shooter, awful defense

The Eastern Conference is garbage, so they'll make the playoffs, but they won't make noise. They need another one or two years still. The Dr. J timeline has always been on track.

i don't give a shit about the cap, I've been begging for years for the knicks to finally bottom out and rebuild for real, and a player like anderson will help them do that, while not offering the enticing financial flexibility that fans have gotten excited about for the past 10 years (and has gotten us absolutely nothing each year)

add to that that 2/3 of the Rockets players will be over 30 AND there's no guarantee that this experiment works, and a first round pick from them looks pretty enticing (especially if it's a couple of years down the line)

Three team deal for Melo to the Cavs actually makes more sense than a direct trade with the Rockets. Rockets have no assets, would only hurt their bad depth even more, and hurt their odds of winning.

Melo to the Cavs with them dumping some role players to a potential contender like the Nuggets who have assets to give to a rebuilding team like the Knicks, then potentially the Cavs absorbing Fareed and other contracts the Nuggets want to dump.

It's a win win.

Think of it like this, a measly 6 million dollars in cap relief, a far worse player who's on the wrong side of time and (most likely) a late round draft pick for one of the best scorers of all time

No, I doubt the Knicks will be contenders for the next few years but still I don't think that they should take on bad salary in an environment when salary is so precious now

The salary cap inflation that happened last year was basically an aberration. It was the result of all the new revenue piling into the league with the new TV deals.

The Players Union didn't want a cap smoothing and fought hard for it. As a result the salary cap of the league jumped 30ish percent.

This is how Golden State was able to sign Durant. It's why all those ridiculous contracts were signed last year. As a result now, so much money was spent last season in FA and with the playoffs not being as long as usual the cap for next season has actually significantly decreased from early projections.

Now salary is alot more precious, it's why someone as young and high a pick as D'Angelo Russell was basically traded with Mozgov in a salary dump

So contracts like Anderson's and Noah's are terrible and will be terrible in two years time as well. There's no reason to take on bad money when the return is so low. It makes more sense to hold Melo until a better deal comes along or wait for next season and he can opt out of his player option. Taking on a terrible contract and a bad pick is stupid, but that's the Knicks so I'm not going to be surprised if they do it.

I do wonder at some point if Silver isn't going to try and kneecap the Warriors, some way or another. I guess it will all depend on what the ratings are like for this season.

Surely TNT and ESPN will get on them about that.

If they didn't sign them and got some better players for league minimum instead it'd be worse for everyone else because it keeps the core together longer.

>they are going to develop the fuck out of McCaw, he's going to be a beast. Highly underrated. Bell will wreck the league in 3 years

Bell literally doesn't know how to box out people on FT rebounds and McCaw is hidden by 4 other all stars. It's fucking nothing.

Does anyone actually expect the Rockets to do anything with CP3? I expect them to have their usual good regular season before, as usual, bowing out in the playoffs before reaching the Finals, which is all they've done since Hakeem retired.

Just think about this too, look at the cap hell a team like the Pelicans are in right now.

Anthony Davis is a generational talent rotting on a terrible team because of all the dump salary moves they've made.

They're stuck with Asik, Ajinca, Moore and Hill's terrible contracts for 2-3 years. That's a combined 34 million in salary rotting on their team when they have one of the best players in the NBA.

Having Anderson and Noah's contract on the books is hell, KP can potentially take a huge leap this year and then come next season a free agent might be willing to sign with the Knicks to play with him. If you have terrible contracts on the books you either have to trade assets or picks to move them. It's a bad idea

/nba/, when are we going to abolish conferences and just take the top 16 teams for the playoffs?

Cavs, Celtics, Wiz, and Giannis are the only things worth a damn. 76ers have a legit shot at winning 33 games and making a 6th seed. Meanwhile in the west if you don't have 50 you MIGHT get the 8th.

We're already showing its arbitrary and pointless when Memphis is playing Portland on the reg.

At least the Pacers got two young players for PG

If you're talking about trading Melo for Anderson or trading Melo for some dudes on minimum contracts I just don't see how that's remotely a fair trade.

With the market on SFs about to dry up after Hayward signs with someone, other teams will offer more for Melo.
