The contracts that Riley has given out since LeBron left his ass....

[DPG21920]

It triggers the hard cap, but they can totally avoid that but not using the LLE or paying Pau less than $13 Million -- assuming Simmons returns on a max deal (for him).

But Manu & Hanga & Muli I thought were rumored to come back. Seems like SA needs another big after losing Lee/Dedmon as well (maybe that's Muli).

The hard cap is just for this year, right? I"m 99% sure I knew about the hard cap with S&T's and NTMLE but brain is fried.

Man if we can get Bradley by shipping out Green perhaps s&t simmons. Obviously need to get a third team involved as Celtics don't want salary.

[DPG21920]

One question since I didn't watch the game tonight or that interview... If he's going to be involved in a trade doesn't it make sense his minutes were controlled/managed to minimize risk and that if it's imminent he be pulled from SL?

So, Jabari responded to me a while ago. Basically, no trade of Murray or anything implied. It was really simply a matter of SL being a 2 weeks long and not wanting to wear out a crucial piece 3 days into it. Many games left. So no known injuries or trades - just minutes management for what is a long Summer League.

[DPG21920]

For all the people who whined that they didn't hear anything and thinking SA was sitting around doing nothing.... Y'all should know by now stuff seldom leaks here during the off season

The funny thing is this leaked and had to be walked back days ago

The cap is just for this year.

Manu really doesn't make sense anymore if Simmons comes back. Even if Simmons leaves, Manu and Hanga joining would leave only Pau, LMA and presumably Milutinov as players who can play the five at all. I guess they could cut Forbes and put Manu there, but that would be a shame for Bryn if he continues to have a good summer league.

[Chinook]

. Atlanta ain't touching that.

[DPG21920]

Ersan for the LLE makes sense if they don't bring back Simmons but go bring over Hanga and Milutinov. Would get them someone who can start at PF and space the floor while also being a legit big. Plus, it would fulfill a lifelong quest for me to see Ilyasova in a Spurs uniform.

I said that yesterday - Ersan makes a lot of sense. But honestly thought he would command more than LLE

Another suitor for Simmons is gone..

[NASpurs]

crofl

[HarlemHeat37]

No way Bud can with that fter that terrible Base more deal IMO..

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Knicks giving Hardaway Jr. a 4-year, $71 million offer sheet.

One less suitor for Simmons it looks like, and NY's money is tied up for a couple of days now.

[tholdren]

Fail

[tbdog]

Didn't Knick trade him to Hawks not long ago?

[NASpurs]

. Atlanta ain't touching that.

They're rebuilding aka tanking right? Yeah they're not touching that for sure.

[Mr. Body]

Good Christ. Did they think he's Tim Hardaway, Sr.?

[FkLA]

Cant even hate on Juice if he bolts for an offer like that. 4 daughters and probably a bunch more on the way, tbh.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Ilyasova has always been on my list this summer, and likely at a gettable price for SA. If we could re-sign Simmons, add Gay and Ilyasova, that'd be a nice off-season all things considered (though we still need one more big down low, or to re-sign Dedmon).

[NASpurs]

misread the tweet

[mo7888]

So who's left for Simmons? I'm looking at you Phoenix...

[DPG21920]

My goodness NY

If I'm SA I definitely lower my offer of 9M to Simmons now. His market is gone. 3 years, 21M is the offer

[FkLA]

Ilyasova is like 3 years older than his listed age and has a fake iden y FWIW. Good role player though.

[Ron Swanson]

And he may. He doesn't seem to value a ring over money. But not the money is drying up, and he'd have a role on the team, possibly as a starter, as he'd be a great fit with LMA if Gay is on the bench.
