Official 2022 NBA Free Agency Thread

[Mr. Body]

And so the dullest FA 'where will he sign' saga comes to a dull, expected end. We can go back to essentially forgetting Ayton is in the league.

Takes Phoenix out of the center market and probably forces Indy to move Turner, lowering the value for all centers. Unless Toronto just doesn't want Turner, he makes more sense for their team than Poeltl. I don't see a lot of good options, at least right now. Maybe Poeltl gets moved in a money-saving trade from another team. In terms of 2023 picks, so many of them have been traded away already, and many teams that seem to have them have 2024 picks compromised. The Spurs might have to wait into the season to see if some teams' cir stances change

Why we rushing to move poodle so fast again? Isn’t he worth 14-16 on the open market?

At this point, I'm inclined to extend Jakob and assess his market next summer (my understanding from this board is that he's not eligible to be extended in time to make him moveable by the Feb 2023 deadline). If I'm another team I'd be hesitant to give up too much for an expiring deal notwithstanding acquiring his Byrd Rights, etc.

For better of worse, Mitc Robinson's is probably the marker contract. It's 60M over 4 years, but what I thought was interesting was that it was descending.

[CGD]

I figure Saric and Crowder are the main guys they would dump if they want to get under the tax..

Makes sense, though, i'm sure theyd be thrilled to move on from Shatmat.

Not sure i follow on why Turner has to be moved if they missed on Ayton.

[Degoat]

Late night thoughts, Hot take… if guys like Keldon, Dev, Tre, and Primo do indeed come back improved I could see us still wining 30-35 games lol I think having size in Roby and Sochan will make a major impact to the team

The Spurs have only lost Murray and Walker. Walker is a non-issue. Murray is a big loss, but not irreplaceable.

[Mr. Body]

Ayton back to Phoenix.

Durant and Irving likely staying at Brooklyn.

Not much else left, is there? Ainge trying to fleece NYK for Donovan Mitc .

Where does the Spurs' cap room come in?

[ducks]

Not a popular view here, but DJ is somewhat a "system player." I'm saying that because every time Tre starts for DJ, Tre gets almost the same stat. The only thing is DJ gambles for steals, but Tre is the better lockdown defender.

Why are they forced to move Turner? Why would they even want to? You do understand that they whiffed on Ayton, right?

[exstatic]

Spurs likely wouldn’t be interested in Shamat, and his remaining 3 years.

[KingKev]

That's a glass house you're throwing rocks from. Didn't you have some mo Bamba predictions? Lol

I said I thought he could be had cheap and thought his market was around the MLE.

[CGD]

Spurs likely wouldn’t be interested in Shamat, and his remaining 3 years.

It appears he can be waived after year 2, so effectively just two more years left on it.

Ainge was basically asking for all of NY’s young talent AND 6 SRPs and SRP swaps.

Yeah, Knicks gonna Knick, but I’m then I’d let Utah sit a while so they can internalize some of the internal awkwardness of dealing with an unhappy Mitc .

[Seventyniner]

iirc the Knicks gave up what was then considered to be a king's ransom for Carmelo. And their ownership hasn't changed. I wouldn't be surprised to see them overpay for Mitc .

I take it you meant FRP and not SRP, but I hope the Knicks aren't that stupid.

Rebound stats were also inflated last year for thw wings with no PF on the team.

in his 11 starts Tre Jones averaged 13.5 Pts, 4.6 Reb, 7.5 Ast, 1.1 Stl, and has a plus/minus of -28 ... you are right, we should have traded him to Atlanta

[Degoat]

No DJ hate but he kinda was a fake all star tbh lol there were so many guys out this past year that would have been an all star ahead of him

[DAF86]

If I'm the Nuggets, I would be offering Michael Porter Jr. and as many first round picks it takes to get Durant.

Jokic, Durant and Murray is a championship level team.

Nuggets don't have a single pick they can trade.

They don't? Where did the them up? Getting Gordon? That sucks for them if true, tbh.

OKC had their lottery protected 2023 first and it was one of the 3 picks traded for Dieng. It ended up with Charlotte in the Duren trade. 2025 first goes to Orlando from the Gordon trade if they convey their pick to Charlotte this season and 2 years after that they owe a pick to OKC again from the JaMychal Green salary dump.
