Well, it was Sacto. He's not the first player to leave money on the table to GTFO of there. Rudy Gay left like $18M, IIRC.can’t believe barnes opted out

pretty surprised steven adams is available. would be a perfect pickup for a contender needing a center.
With the new rules, you can play him off the court. He can't defend in space, or bring enough on the other end to justify big minutes.
i wonder if okc would try replacing adams with deandre.
Jordan? He's not that agile anymore, either, You'd probably be in the same boat.
okc has to replace their talent though. i’m sure jordan could be had for less than adams.
The death of the traditional center continues. That's the risk with drafting either Goga or Hayes. Great value at 19 but there's a chance that teams stop playing traditional centers completely within the next five years...
Yeah, but they don't have to do it with another big lumbering dude.
Steven Adams is overrated as . He has some pros but watching the Portland series tells you all you need to know about him. All this time he still hasn't developed one solid post move, not a good passer, obviously can't stretch the floor and for all his flaws he should've at least been considered an elite defender, he's not. He has pros but he's not good enough to be a part of a championship team.
Meh, I wouldn’t underestimate how easy it is to look mediocre playing with Westbrook, has nothing to do with how he would fit in an actual system. That said, the contract is untouchable.
Speaking of the dying center, what does LMA realistically fetch these days?
Best I can come up with that could appeal to both teams would be:
LMA + 29 —> Heat
Ryan Anderson’s Contract + Bam Adabayo + 13 —> spurs
LMA + #19 -> pels for #4 and Solomon Hill
That would makes sense if they plan on keep Holiday, but that doesn’t seems clear yet.
Holiday
Ball
Ingram
Zion
LMA
Would be an interesting roster.
If Irving and Hortford leave, would Boston be a good LMA destination?
For sure
Everything I've heard out of NOLA says they are keeping holiday. That lineup would probably make the playoffs.
I think it could be good for us but, I doubt ainge is giving up anything we'd want for him.
If Ainge didn't want to give up for Kawhi or AD, I'd hate to see what he'd offer for LMA.
Ainge is screwed the way he treats players is getting out no one wants to go there as a free agent. Now add your loosing key players that helped you get to playoffs and have so far not made any move to get better.
LA for Jaylen brown?
Yeah Ainge is a damn fool! Could have had kawhi and/or AD but he rather hold on to his “assets” and overhyped players
Umm no. I’m not giving up 19 if I’m taking back Solomon Hill.
Better to deal Aldridge for someone you can actually give rotation minutes to and a pick worse than 4.
So weird how the powers that be have so altered the game in such a short time. I really coveted Adams his first few years in the league. But you are right; he is just another dinosaur today. Plus, as another poster noted, he really hasn’t developed his game much at all since entering the league.
The draft picks have become very devalued assets in this draft, too - especially if Kyrie and Horford both bolt.
