if he was at least in the rotation, even as a reserve, he could have been showcased to be a trade piece. but nah
It starts this year, and there aren’t a ton of teams with cap room in any year. Are they really going to use it to help out these overspending assholes, or do they maybe improve their own team. Best to get off the second apron now.
If you are over the second apron this summer, even a first offender, you lose the ability to trade that furthest out FRP. Immediately. One July. Oh, and I think even though they eased it in last year with lesser penalties, it still counts as a year in the second apron. If they’re over this year, that’s two strikes already.

graham is a worse contract than mcdermott, and he hasnt played basketball for about 10 months. teams that just want to shed salary in that range would take on mcdermott, not graham, since he's not saddled with the extra 2.5 mil for next seasons' books
Weak Ass Trade Deadine Tbh
deadline is tomorrow tho
It's not going to be active. Harden was traded months ago, Siakam and Anunoby already traded. There might be a few pieces like Brown but that's it.
Point guard minutes were at a premium this season tbh. Point Sochan and Point Malaki made sure of that
We know the Spurs ain't doing . They'll end up buying Graham and McDermott out so they can sign with playoff teams.
Around the NBA doesn't seem like much will be happening either. Aside from DJM possibly getting traded I doubt any significant moves will happen tomorrow
The whole “nothing should be rushed” pop thread should be a wake up call for a lot of people. This deadline should be a massive ing wake up call for a lot people here. Team are locked up and we have a good 7-8 teams that are trying to get over the hump and into contention but don’t have any realistic leverage to make it happen.
So many teams have maneuvered their way to the playoffs but over leveraged themselves out of being contenders. You cannot just make big moves to marginally improve. You end up in the playoffs but out of contention and void of assets.
You have to strategize your moves opportunistically. Be extra prudent with draft stock.
Look at Anunoby. Great player. Great move. Probably still not contending.
We are smart to sit on a lot of things and let everyone else wear out their capital. That is not say that I’m against making moves. I’m definitely about the right moves.
And if the Spurs do make a big move everyone will be "CIA POP!"
It's a no lose situation for Pop
Posted elsewhere:
- 2024 picks are not widely coveted
- contenders don't have much wiggle room in terms of resources/assets
- few playoff teams have moveable future picks. this changes after this year's draft. a bit.
- new CBA has hammerlocked a lot of movement.
- the play-in has made two additional teams in each conference think they have something to play for. either they stay neutral or become buyers, not sellers.
^ also, as someone mentioned elsewhere, San Antonio has like the 3 most amount of SRPs of any team. Do they really need more?
miles bridges with 45/7/7 on 17-26 shooting
really curious to see what his next contract will look like. dude can obviously play, but is a s bag
Someone will pay him some money, probably below his BB market value, to play for them next year. Wouldn’t be surprised of a 20/7 40% 3 point shooter could be had for the MLE.
If not for being a complete POS human being, Bridges would have been a nice fit with Keldon and Sochan in the 3/4 rotation, at least offensively. Don't watch the Hornets enough to say how he is defensively. He was pretty good before his year off due to being a wife beater. I don't even know which team harbors these kinds of thugs anymore these days... maybe he's perfect for the Hornets.
Indy nearing a Buddy Hield trade to philly

Hmmm
The Utah Jazz are finalizing a trade to send C Kelly Olynyk and guard Ochai Agbaji to the Toronto Raptors for Kira Lewis, Otto Porter and a 2024 first-round pick, sources tell ESPN.
Woj
has all the Herb Jones on the block talk dissipated? If not what would he cost? If the Spurs could land DJM and Herb they would get much better defensively and would answer the who takes shots at the end of the game and starting PG questions. I could see the Spurs acquring both without giving up too much if previous rumors have any validity.
Jeez Philly got Hield for nothing
I would love Herb Jones on the Spurs! I don't know that the current Spurs have something (worth giving) that NOLA would be interested in, though.
scott man, I figured you'd get a kick out of this reply to Woj's tweet
Oklahoma City is closing in on a trade to acquire Gordon Hayward from Charlotte, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium.
Shams
Looks like Hayward to OKC
Damn, I wanted Hield as a 6th man.
They'd be in a great situation if not for Embiid's injury.
They should shut him down and go all-in for the next season.
The only players left on their books after this season will be Embiid, Maxey (up for extension), Paul Reed and Jaden Springer.
They can keep both Buddy and Tobias in free agency with ease.
