I like him, but feel like he would have been better pre-Craig. I'd love to put all our eggs in the Gary Harris basket. It's a question of if he'll come here for a pretty small role. I think Milwaukee makes a lot of sense for him unfortunately.
We do have more money to offer

A little bummed that CP3 and Booker ended up on opposing teams.

But at least we get to see Paul try to bait Booker with the rip-through move.

Funny side note: OKC didn’t add any salary and barring some random signing, they will be 23 million below the salary floor and each player on their roster will split the 23 million. That’s a fairly significant amount per player…

I've never watched these draft shows before because I find most of the all star stuff to be borderline offensive to how I perceive NBA basketball. Having said that, I feel bad for the two top vote getters who actually have to justify their draft... Thought they'd just press a button and be done with it.

Honestly that's kind of cool that they did that. The players deserve it. Surprised they didn't jump in on the Porzingis trade to maneuver some picks out of it though.

I have a hard time understanding what just happened in Dallas.

At some point accumulating too many picks becomes a negative. I think OKC is done with that part of the process. I think the cap space is way more valuable at this point. They have 2 great young guards. They could entice a nice veteran signing in the next couple of years.

I think they should offer as much as they can to Miles Bridges.

Speaking of OKC, this is pretty wild. If they don't get to the salary cap floor, the players split the difference between the the total team salary and the floor among themselves which is currently $23M.

It's sad that he forced his way to Sacramento only to be tossed away to Indy. He should have said he wanted to be in Phoenix.

I'm sure he realizes that now. Imagine his prospects here.

KD stuff was funny but who knows just how pissed he is at what Harden did. Surely nobody is going to care about KD feeling betrayed but this tweet says Harden was stringing along mgmt, fair to wonder if KD and Kyrie believed he was staying too



Either way, shady stuff (again) from Beard

Kyrie is plenty culpable for the situation there.
