That or Richardson instead of Doug if he wanted to get off $$ sooner. I *think* that works with the base comp rule. The other option is to send expiring (Romeo, Jock, Keita) to NYK for Nerlens and a FRP to help them open space for Brunson. Then use that NYK pick in addition (or instead of CHI...

With Duren going to DET, I actually think Spurs may be one of the few cap space teams available with legit interest. Not OKC. Unclear where Portland stands after Grant deal. The greater threat, for those favoring a trade, is a S&T team.

Insightful for us not close to the Suns situation. As I’ve only come to appreciate recently, the base year compensation situation really fucks things up here for those looking for a deal. I suspect that Jakob Poeltl being expiring isn’t ideal at all for the Suns either, and unfortunately, as I...

Sorry Lonnie

Man I feel bad for Joe Weiskamph. He’s gonna have a lot of competition

Now I’m calling Knicks and offering to take Fournier off their hands for the 3 FRPs they just acquired las night.

Where do you peg the cap space at right now, assuming Lonnie is renounced? Quickly playing with the Capulator I get to about 30m. Is that about right?

Sarver would be elated if Ayton did a max 2+1 right?

Excellent

I thought one of his countryman ST posters already said he sucked major ass.

Oh wow, yeah that seem like a serious plan lol

Maybe but it also sounds like the Mavs really want him though, especially since they have few other ways to improve the roster around Luka. On the other hand, I think the Knicks would give up a lot to get Murray starting with those 3 picks they just got from OKC.

Saw this on twitter FWIW: “Knicks main focus is Jalen Brunson. Trade for Dejounte Murray secondary. #NBA”

I dont disagree. I'm just saying the team needs to make a calculation/assessment on Ayton, which will then plot the rest of offseason. If they come to your conclusion (i tend to agree btw), renting space makes sense and my first call is to the Knicks. But you can see how the Spurs may, in fact,...

This now becomes the threshold question entering free agency -- to Ayton or not to Ayton? If not, then I see a lot of cap space renting ahead this summer. Don't see the value in going after an OG honestly, and CHA is keeping Bridges. Jollins remains underwhelming to me.

Time to call the Knicks and help them clear the capspace they covet for Irving or Brunson. They did just get those 3 OKC picks.

The George Hill pick keeps on giving :-)

Totally agree with this. Made the not getting Johnny at 9 thing go down easier for me tonight.

After this draft, I think we’re closer to tear down mode than building around Murray mode tbh. Preparing myself for FA focused on renting capspace out this summer, as opposed to adding a Ayton, Bridges, Collins or OG.

I agree, a solid draft. Would have liked Davis at 9, but Sochan makes sense too. On to free agency…

Kangs gonna Kangs…

Chet is perfect for OKC. But lol thst Poku-Chet toothpick towers line up

Lol at all these “experts” having Jabari #1
