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

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.

Yeah, he profiles as an elite shooter but there will be an adjustment

His cutting and be able to do pick and rolls and get to the basket will profile better early while he gets adjusted. At 27 tho is best time for him to come in and I think he will work well with Sabonis

Looks like a Dame to Miami package will revolve around Herro, Duncan and picks

[RadcapRadsley]

Blazers management are the biggest chumps,they payed Grant 30 mill to make Dame happy. Now they will trade him to where he wants and take on Duncan Robinson's bad contract as well.

It's hard to think of any team taking it in the ____________ more then them. They should just grow a pair and not trade Dame

And if they can bring back Reaves they have a nice little mob 

Probably one of their better teams on paper in the LBJ era

Thomas Bryant to Miami

Free agency has gone so far as expected with players and teams

Bigger paydays than expected in a down free agent year

Knicks trading Toppin to the Pacers.

Blame f***ing Thibs 

He never wanted to give Obi consistent mins and refused to play him and Randle together. Obi showed when he got mins he can run but never got opportunity to consistently play

Lakers have been really active

["Evil Brood" Jackson Vanik]

Hornets keep LaMelo long term. I know he's had health issues but we had to keep him long term. He's the franchise right now and we'll have more flexibility next year to support him. 

[The Rick Jericho]

Toppin when getting minutes is good. Hope he can somehow get 25+ with the Pacers.

Kings fans are HYPE for him. I’m not sure how he’s going to translate. He was a shitty defender even in Europe. But as a proud Luka fanboy it would be hypocritical to write him off without seeing what he can do on the NBA floor.

[The Rick Jericho]

Obi averaged 27.2 ppg in April 2022.

Come on Knicks.

[Gawk Rivers]

Gabe Vincent and Fred VanVleet both sought out advice from Kyle Lowry on negotiating their new deals, that dude might legit have a future as an agent when he retires cause holy f***

I like him as a backup PG off the bench, I think he's fine and they needed it

Now focus on the trades and getting a backup big, heatbroken Thomas Bryant went to Miami, get Plumlee...
