It would suck to be the only vaguely decent defender on a team like that.
Hopefully he knows more than we do.

Free agent big man Day'Ron Sharpe intends to sign a two-year, $12 million deal to return to the Brooklyn Nets, sources tell ESPN.
Damn these teams resigning their guys!!!
Is there a minimum contract length for the full MLE? I'm okay with Kornet getting it but anything longer than 2 years seems too much IMO. I can live with 3 years I guess but 4 seems like a big overpay tbh.
It can be for one year or even part of the year if used mid-season.
Minimum length is one year.
I think the issue there would be Kornet himself. He's probably much more interested in a multi-year deal because of the security it provides. Would he sign a one or two year deal? Hard to say.
Rockets cooking tbh. The 2nd round flameout is gonna be even funnier tbh![]()
Only perimeter scorers are Van Vleet and Durant and Durant is half a season away from the end.
Jabari, Sheppard can shoot. if they land one of DFS/NAW thats another capable shooter. if they are able to land one of those in addition to kenard, with the penetration of Amen and the post passing of Sengun, i think they'd be more than fine
durant is still playing at an all-nba level
I should say someone who can get their own shot.
I guess they're hoping Amen can take the next step.
I was really impressed with him this season, at times he looked like young Lebron while attacking the rim.
They'll have better spacing in the upcoming season, he'll do even more damage.
But I agree, I think they should do another consolidation trade for a reliable shot creator off the bench. Can't expect to contend with Sheppard as the only bench ballhandler. I guess they can save that trade for the deadline if Sheppard doesn't improve.
they were a top 2 seed with FVV and Jalen Green being those guys. they'll be even better at it this year.
Amen and Sheppard are also improvement candidates
Whitmore gets traded for a shooter I think
By shooter you mean shot creator who can get his own?
What's the rotation like right now:
FVV/Sheppard
Amen
KD/DFS
Jabari/Eason
Sengun/Adams
With the reports of NAW also being a target, he goes into backup slot behind Amen.
But that's still just FVV and Amen as ballhandlers and Amen isn't a shooter.
If you get NAW, I think you're Sheppard+Whitmore for a legit 6th man scorer away from being able to contest OKC.
We've seen how it went in these playoffs, the team that gave them the most trouble had multiple self-creators.
Not saying they won't be good, but they'll still depend on defense and have a strongly iso offense. The problem here is their window is very short. Durant lasts maybe a year or so. FVV is hard to depend on.

Free agent forward Nicolas Batum intends to sign a two-year, $11.5 million deal to return to the Los Angeles Clippers, sources tell ESPN. Deal includes a team option as well as a trade kicker. Batum's agent, Bouna Ndiaye of Comsport, negotiated the contract for the reunion
Would be great pickups, tbh.
Lots of guys already staying put….not a great FA year tbh…so hopefully theres some trades.
Does "big deals" also include trades? Giannis trade maybe? I wonder what big deals Sham's is referring to.
What day/time is free agency? I thought I read 6pm a week or two. It was always 12:00am July first, wasn't it? Did they change it recently so people wouldn't have to wait until 12:00am?

No one has any cap space. There was never going to be much movement.
Shams teasing that Mamu extension
Lebron/Bronny for Devin/Keldon/Barnes, tbh.
