not to mention, resetting from an actually productive Melo to an additional high lottery pick means they're more likely to keep that protected first
I don't think Harden was ever serious about leaving. He's just trying to get his bag. They'll work to trade Harris.
Meanwhile, Kevin Porter Junior somehow makes $15.86 million for the next three years and then one at a team option. How the F did that happen?

Wow...I thought KPJ's contract was a team option for each season not just the last....that's awful..
You're right - apparently non-guaranteed year over year. The site I was on, HoopsHype, didn't show that.
Making moves just to be moving is such a Mark Cuban move. I don't know why other teams try to do it. It's a sure sign that your decision-makers don't know what the they're doing.
No doubt, it might not be the best offer Portland gets, but I do think that is the direction I'd be thinking if I were the Hornets. Of course, this also hurts the value of our FRP from Charlotte, but they rightfully give zero F's about us.
I will be at the Draft in BKY again this year! Had to make it out for some Spurs history…..I will try to take some pics
Nice. Decent seats? They might show you in the crowd after the selection if you’re wearing Spurs gear. Especially if it’s a Wemby jersey.
seeing taylor hendricks fall to the mavs at 10 in a lot of mocks. he seems like quite the perfect for them tbh. another shooting weapon alongside doncic who finally gives them a legit defensive presence. the mavs collapsed toward the end of last year but i still wouldnt sleep on them as a good team this year. hendricks seems like a guy who can hit the ground running too
Ya - should be solid seats. I’m getting a custom Spurs draft shirt made from Dakota Mitc (does cool Spurs gear at CampecheColletive)
Funny story about showing me in crowd - I was actually on ESPN after covid for the draft. I had been for a few years in a row pre covid and ESPN ran a segment for the first draft post covid where they allowed fans back in. I was not even at that draft but they used footage from like 2 drafts before that and it was me walking in the door with my spurs gear all happy
So odd they used old footage but all my friends were like “dude you were on ESPN today”
It’s hard to say what the spurs will do after drafting wemby. Like many on here PG seems to be the position of need but honestly I think they like their trio of Tre, Graham, Wesley, with other contributing to bringing the ball up. I’m starting to see us going with a forward with #33 tbh
how do you go to that? Tickets? And if so, how much do they cost?
It’s held at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn….you can buy tickets from Ticketmaster and they range from $70 all the way to $400. So its not really any different than going to watch a basketball game, just have to buy a ticket
They also have these special “experiences” packages too where you can meet the draftees and go on stage etc…those are like $1200-$2500 though
I am seriously interested in going. But damn at that price? I might as well just spend that amount (probably will be a bit more) when they’re in town to play either the Knicks or Nets (whichever one will be cheaper and works best with my work schedule though). In any case, thanks!
Random but seems like a solid deal for Denver depending on the protections. Think this is OKC understanding they have too many upcoming picks and are taking a discount here in hopes that Denver sucks in 6 years.
Smart move by the Nuggets. They will be a contender for years to come. Their core is still young and Jokic‘s game should age well
OKC has four (!) first round picks next year. Utah, Houston, LAC, and their own. This pick will likely not be incredible, but around 20 or so. Denver needs help now, and that 37 in this draft may actually be pretty good.
This is a good option, flipping draft picks forward. We may eventually do that, too.
I like the strategy of flipping a pick forward here and there to keep more options open.
I don't know if I've ever heard of a team in the Finals making a trade, let alone any team this time of year.
This is OC paying up to roll an asset forward. I see the logic for both sides.
We see how SRPs will have value here or there, too.
Denver has to see a really flat landscape before them. If they can maintain good role-players, they might actually have a bit of a run.
Yea this is part of the problem with stockpiling too many picks. They lose trade value the longer you hold ‘em and you realize there’s simply too many for you to actually use to draft players. That’s why I’m all for moving a package of multiple picks for the right player. Will be interesting to see if we jump back into the lottery in a couple weeks.
That's true. There's are certain years where 2rp's have more value than other years too. As for those, I know ex is a proponent of selling all of them. I'm more of a proponent of packaging them for a future 1st way down the line. It may require a little patience waiting on the right deal, but I prefer that to selling them.
Agreed. Their core is young and locked up for the foreseeable future. Joker’s 28, Murray only 26, Gordon 27, and MPJ only 24. Plus Braun is only 22 and seems to have a bright future with room to grow as a player. They’re likely going to lose Bruce Brown to free agency this Summer, so they need more draft picks to help fill out the roster. Hate to use the D word but Denver could definitely be in that category if they stay healthy over the next couple years.
