My only hesitation with FVV is his size. I want a best 5 lineup with Booker as the smallest player.

When does CP3’s contract gaurantee? Would we have time to trade him after the season and allow a team to cut him and save a bunch of money? That could be enticing to a luxury tax team or someone trying to create cap space.

Fully guaranteed on 6/28. Seems like too narrow of a window, but maybe?

https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/v/vanvlfr01.html I like Fred VanVleet in general, but he's having a horrid season. 18/4/6 on 37.6% FG (!!), 32.8% 3pt, PER 15.7. His shooting is awful. BTW, he has never been an efficient shooter. He shot just 40.3% FG last season and averages 40.1% FG f...

We could go down in history as the first franchise to waste 2 first overall picks on underwhelming centers

Wembenyama isn't a Center.

How many PGs are clearly a level better? Steph Curry Luka Doncic Damian Lillard Kyrie Irving Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Ja Morant I think he's firmly in this group.. DeAaron Fox $30.3M Jalen Brunson $27.7M Tyrese Haliburton Jamal Murray $31.6M Trae Young LaMelo Ball Jrue Holiday $33.6M Seems to me like...

I'll just repost myself from two months ago.. I dream of James Jones trading Paul (Charlotte?) to clear room for a Fred VanVleet free agent offer during the summer. The worrying thing with Ayton is that he's already floating and he technically can't be traded right now. How's he going to play when h...

Good times in the league tonight.

Bill Kennedy can't hide his smile while reviewing the Brook Lopez thing.

No one is giving 4 first round picks for Deandre Ayton.

That's why I'm probably not a seller.

You're driving a hard bargain there..

Pistons play the Bulls in Paris this week, ICYMI.

No one is giving 4 first round picks for Deandre Ayton.

I think it will work but not if they don't get enough reps together to figure it out.

I'd be a lot higher on DWJ if he could do anything but shoot. Like Bob said, he's not a PG because he can't be trusted to take care of the ball.

He's 2023 Mike James.

If there's anything I think I know about Robert Sarver it's that he's petty and vengeful.

I’d absolutely be on board with trading Ayton for an actual #2, but I don’t think that’s realistic for a few reasons.

Trading Crowder isn’t re-tooling, IMO.

I don’t like either option. I’m not blowing it up or making significant sacrifices to marginally improve this roster for this season. The title window for this team as currently constructed closed after losing to the Mavs. However, this team is good enough when healthy to make a deep run if they cat...

If it weren't for his connections in Phoenix, I wouldn't put much stock in Barkley's takes about the Suns. I don't really buy the "they don't like each other narrative", but it's reasonable for guys to be frustrated when the three highest paid players all have issues at the moment. Chris P...

It’s Jan 15th. I guess anyone that thought James Jones had something up his sleeve was giving him too much credit. It's a range, right? Not all deals happen on day 1. Right. But there have been some people out there speculating that the reason Jones hasn't done anything was because he was waiting f...

Lateral move in talent, significant downgrade in contract value for Orlando.

I forgot about that. Would still be better to get something out of Shamet than cut him, no?

There are a few things that make me prefer Trent Jr. to Shamet. Trent Jr. is bigger and more versatile defensively. Shamet is quite good defensively because he competes and doesn't really make errors, but Trent Jr. is more disruptive and accumulates more defensive stats. Their shooting numbers are s...
