No one is a bigger Lebron critic/hater than I am, but if he gets to the finals next year, he’s my new GOAT.
They can whine about it all they want but what can they really do to stop it? It's up to Cousins.How does the Players Union allow this contract to go through/
Yeah, but how does he cancel his contract so he can sign league min with the Warriors?AD has got to be sick of the Pelicans. Right?
Full MLE for a rental who won't play until after the ASB who will then change how our entire offense functions without having any practice time to adapt......and he may not be very good when he returns.If BOS was able to sign Cousins with the full MLE, nevermind the taxpayer MLE, this place would be going bonkers.
Yep. It’s just going to make Boston’s victory in the finals that much better.Full MLE for a rental who won't play until after the ASB who will then change how our entire offense functions without having any practice time to adapt......and he may not be very good when he returns.
I'm cool with Boogie choosing Golden State over us.
Carmelo is exactly what LeBron deserves.Is there some psort of Deng for Carmelo deal that works for both sides?
Not without the Lakers including either Ingram or Ball. I suppose it could work as a three way deal if you had a team under the cap with enough to trade that OKC would consider taking Deng’s deal, while simultaneously returning something to LA to soften the blow.Is there some psort of Deng for Carmelo deal that works for both sides?
yep. Celtics are more than fine with Baynes/Theis/Horford draining 3s and playing solid defense at the 5. Danny will sort out Smart and figure out how to not trigger the luxury tax a year earlier than necessary.Full MLE for a rental who won't play until after the ASB who will then change how our entire offense functions without having any practice time to adapt......and he may not be very good when he returns.

Rondo, Jeff Green, Courtney Lee, Jason Terry and E'Twaun Moore off the top of my headFeels like an overpay.
Are there any other Doc Celtics left in the league?
Salaries have to be matched, either can still get him. Boston is over the cap, for example, but can get him easily.So the Celtics seem to be in prime position for Kahwi if they want him. Sixers and Lakers used up their cap space although LA could stretch Deng.
At this point, Marcus Smart would probably be amenable to a S+T to SA for contract reasons. No idea if SA wants him but he seems to be cut from the cloth of a Bruce Bowen so possible Pop may value him like Boston does.So the Celtics seem to be in prime position for Kahwi if they want him.

Chandler is eligible to be traded immediately as they acquired him with room so the Sixers could still make a play for Kawhi.So the Celtics seem to be in prime position for Kahwi if they want him. Sixers and Lakers used up their cap space although LA could stretch Deng.
Doesn't really affect Philly and Kawhi. Might actually make it better for Philly trying to acquire Kawhi, gives them another combo forward on the roster in case both Saric and Covington go in a deal.So the Celtics seem to be in prime position for Kahwi if they want him.

Oh I didn't know he could be traded right away. Interesting. I still think Spurs would want Boston's picks and assets rather than Philly.Chandler is eligible to be traded immediately as they acquired him with room so the Sixers could still make a play for Kawhi.
Sure, but there are no indications that the Celtics have any desire to offer them.Oh I didn't know he could be traded right away. Interesting. I still think Spurs would want Boston's picks and assets rather than Philly.
I loved how Exum looked last year especially returning from all those injuries. The strength he gained served him well. If he stays healthy that is going to be a nice contract for Utah. He has another leap in him this coming season.
Marcus can't accept less than this now.
$31M / year for a jump shooter who can’t play defense. Nice.
Devin Booker and the Phoenix Suns are progressing toward finalizing a 5-year, $158M maximum contract extension as soon as the weekend, league sources tell ESPN. Suns presented the offer to Booker in Los Angeles today.
Phoenix was actually better with him off the court last year. Have to pay someone to sell tickets though.$31M / year for a jump shooter who can’t play defense. Nice.
To me the Jazz are the #2 team in the West right now. OKC #3, Houston #4, NO #5, LOLakers #5, pending further developments.I loved how Exum looked last year especially returning from all those injuries. The strength he gained served him well.

What? Ariza moves Houston from 65 wins to a 4 seed?To me the Jazz are the #2 team in the West right now. OKC #3, Houston #4, NO #5, LOLakers #5, pending further developments.
I look forward to understanding this as well.What? Ariza moves Houston from 65 wins to a 4 seed?
Ariza gone + Paul old + Tucker old + MCW sucks + Utah and OKC are really good + gimmicky offense that is increasingly solvable (well under 100 points in each of their last five games in the WCF) + who knows what’s happening with Capela and Mbah a Moute. If they can re-sign those two and do something good with the MLE, maybe they move up a spot or two.What? Ariza moves Houston from 65 wins to a 4 seed?
I mean, the Warriors can play some defense and Chris Paul was out. Not sure I buy that.Ariza gone + Paul old + Tucker old + MCW sucks + Utah and OKC are really good + gimmicky offense that is increasingly solvable (well under 100 points in each of their last five games in the WCF).
So you only had to match contracts when one or both were over the cap? Never knew that. Thanks.They had cap space to take him into
Only when both are.So you only had to match contracts when one or both were over the cap? Never knew that. Thanks.
