Oladipo traded to OKC

[Gawk Rivers]

Monte Morris got traded for a single 2027 2nd round pick. Washington Wizards trades fuel my heart and soul.

I would love him for that reason next to Melton, but we'll see

Yeah, I can imagine the appeal to Philly fans who have watched Tobi Harris who is the type of guy that when he isn't scoring he isn't contributing. And Mann in the antithesis of that. But you kinda have that in PJ Tucker. You'd need some serious shooting to take over Harden's role if you're going to have two glue guys at forward.

I think there's a real shot they trade Harden, Harris, AND Tucker, potentially in three different trades to restructure the entire offense.

They're gonna have to create a few extra tiers for these max contracts at this point.

Haliburton and Bane are really nice but what the f***?

So far it seems like the Heat have really lost out, lost Vincent, likely losing Strus, were zoning in on Dame but that seems to have fallen apart, and they got... Josh Richardson back

Nott exactly ideal for them right now

As much as I'll hate to see it I still think Dame ends up in Miami. Just too much noise in that direction.

We're in the endgame now

Yeah, the only thing worse than signing a non-star to $160 mil is doing that and then losing the best player on your team. Paying Grant $32 mil a year while the rest of the squad gets experience. That's definitely one way to rebuild.

[horsemen4ever]

So as a Knick fan, I don't know what is better for me for Lillard's destination, the Heat or the Nets. I hate to say it, but even though they are in the division, sent him to Brooklyn.

[hashtagdaley/JudasDay]

Lmao that Grant contract is even worse now.

Lakers signed Jaxson Hayes

They put together a nice little supporting squad with Hayes, Reddish, Prince and Vincent

[Captain Stud Muffin (BLM)]

Max Strus signs with Cavs 4/$63M

Sign and trade has made the deal complete

Cavs: Max Strus
Miami: 2nd round pick
Spurs: Cedi Osman, Lamar Stevens and a 2nd round pick

Dennis Smith Jr signs to Nets

[Deleted]

Shams is saying Dame wants to go to Miami specifically. The Nets may be able to offer more but Portland should probably accommodate Dame considering players run the league and you don’t want to do a star player dirty.

Herro and picks is my guess.

hashtagdaley/JudasDay Euroleague MVP Sasha Vezenkov signs 3/$20M with the Kings

6'9 Forward. Good shooting F that can play off the pick and roll and cuts well to the basket. Defense needs work but that's basically all players that come out of Europe

Last year he did good numbers, 18, 6 and 2 59 percent from the floor and 40 percent from 3

A comparison would probably be like a Hedo Turkgolu as his ceiling and a floor would be a better Nemanja Bjelica

Vezenkov is expected to be the backup to Murray at the 4

Technically their is tiers 

Hali signed the max contract with the "Derrick Rose elevator" meaning they can offer him 30% more than the max of the contract which is why he got $260M. He has to hit some qualifiers next season for it to get to the 30% which is either All NBA, DPOY or MVP

It sucks because the main reason a lot of the older euroleague guys get signed is for their shooting, but it's hard to get a grasp of how good they are with the shorter 3 point line. Wish there was universal dimensions so you could get a better idea of what you're getting. Then again, the FIBA games always seem more open and fun anyway.
