I don't get the "Keldon is a great locker room guy" schtick. Because he wears a cowboy hat, screams the loudest after he dunks on a 3rd stringer, buries his head in the sand to drive to the basket against triple teams refusing to pass? He's a cancer
probably at least something like 4/70. Could still get him in a sign and trade for Barnes or Keldon if the price is second round picks.

that and his chicken farm. Wouldn't be fair to the chickens if they had to move.
I thought Trump fixed the price of eggs
You forgot yelling out "AND 1" louder than any player in nba history
while screaming at the clouds instead of getting back in transition
Those Scam Charania accounts have gotten me like 10 times in the last week. For a few seconds in the past week I thought the Spurs traded for Durant, Giannis, Drafted Ace Bailey and now traded for LeBron lol
Quentin Grimes reportedly wants $25 million per season, per @Tjonesonthenba
“The Sixers have been in contact with Grimes and his camp, although the price may end up being steep. Grimes, 25, is looking for a contract that averages $25 million per season, league sources tell The Athletic. He has emerged as a dynamic scoring guard, and he gives the Sixers a mix of the ability to shoot from the perimeter and get to the basket and put pressure on the rim off the dribble.” (Via https://nytimes.com/athletic/live-blogs/nba-free-agency-2025-offseason-trade-rumors-news/fnwUj FEqi/ruoFTT0nB1HR/…)
I mean, people are worried about Keldon value and Nurk just received a 2nd in a deal….Barnes has to be worth 2 firsts then lol

Houston Rockets forward Jabari Smith Jr. intends to sign a five-year, $122 million rookie contract extension, sources tell ESPN. Rockets officials and Smith's agent, Wallace Prather of LIFT Sports Management, negotiated the fully guaranteed deal through 2030-31 season.

So he got Devin Vassell money which makes sense. We will see how it looks in a couple years, but at the moment seems in line.
im sure sochan gonna want something similar.Spurs should only offer half of that.
That prognosticater who said he wouldn’t be offered an extension was just a little off target,
Sure was
Big overpay but I’m all for it. One less compe or in the division. In fact, I think we own the division for the next decade
The Pacers have tendered qualifying offers to Isaiah Jackson, Quenton Jackson and Enrique Freeman, making all three players restricted free agents, a league source tells Tony East of Forbes.

Jackson would be an interesting target. Supposedly rehabbing well from Achilles tear (November ‘24). Spurs on friendly terms with Pacers seemingly, considering they do business every few months.
Good news about Jabari. On another note, meeting Dennis Rodman some months back on Westheimer was probably something I thought was the most random occurrence until I met Jalen Rose at a family reunion last night
Vassell's was five years, $146 million so quite a bit more than Smith's. Also under a lower cap than what Smith got his under.
Nah Kobe wanna-be here was the big overpay. Hopefully they can get Utah to take him for Collins.Sure was

Yea that Vassell deal was and is awful. 50% of that contract was for potential and most of that potential hasn’t been realised.
I’ve read so many times that teams hand out deals not necessarily because they’re trying to find the best deal, but because they need a mix of certain level contracts to match salaries in trades (especially when big game hunting). That’s part of the reason you see some ambitious numbers from teams that aren’t compe ive. That’s why I’m not worried about Vassell’s or Johnson’s contract numbers, and certainly not when first handed out. Now we’re getting much closer to go time in terms of being compe ive. We have to be really smart about contract numbers because of the apron. Johnson’s deal will be easily tradeable in a year. We shall see on Vassell, but I’m still a believer in his game as a scaled down third or fourth option now that he’s truly healthy.
Not worried about their contract numbers but I am worried that these guys suck and other teams know they suck and it's actually harder to trade them than we realize cause nobody wants them.
At first glance I thought that Jabari extension was a little egregious but it’s probably just about right. If he doesn’t improve at all from here on out it will be a bit of an overpay but still not anything terrible. With some modest improvement it’s perfectly fair value, and then there’s the chance that he takes a complete step forward and it ends up being a total steal of a deal.
Put it simply: I think the most likely outcome is he plays to the value of the deal, but the upside if he makes huge strides in his development outweighs the scenario where he doesn’t improve at all and it’s a slight negative contract.
