Luol Deng nearly died with that spinal tap thing.
@liferealgoodАй бұрын
Or 😂 instead of the worst case scenario with more personnel he can share the workload and prolong his career. Rose was really in Chicago as a one man scoring machine with a bunch of defensive players. Brunson has Randle, Mikal, and Donte who can all create. Hell even McBride can pop off for 17-20 in a pinch. Plus Brunson is more of a ground game scorer than a highlight reel Derrick Rose game. Knicks biggest issue was losing iHart who helped create from the high post or elbow. Other than that the offense is more shared.

Knicks fkd up not making Hartenstein a priority. They done so good, up until that. I know it was hard, but I'd done everything I could have to moved Robinson. I think he would have resigned for much less to stay. At least 24 mil a year. Not having his tenacity at C, to set screens and pass while also being the most mobile big man in the league. Hartenstein is incredibly underrated and you can't put a value on players like him. I'd rather my Pacers signed him for 43 mil a year over Pascal. That's how much I like Hartenstein. OKC will be an absolute nightmare once Chet bulks up a bit. They honestly need one more creative good shooter.. But they also added Caruso and he's my favorite Combo/defensive guard in the league. They will be an absolute nightmare having that mobile interior big man D who can guard the perimeter and having Caruso/Dort on the outside with Jalen Williams and Shai.. OKC just became my favorite team in basketball.

No one realizes how good the Naji Marshall signing was for the Mavs. They lost some leak out athleticism. But they gained a stronger defender in the half court and a more well rounded offensive player. His man defense is pretty solid and his I.Q all around is pretty good. I feel his consistency will only raise a bit also being that he's playing with Luka and Kyrie. Getting him will also allow a solid player who can play either the SF in his natural position, or SG when they need even more defense to play for Klay.. Then we gotta mention Klay too, because alone I don't really care as much for that signing. But when you look at everyone, Klay is very important. Because for one it wasn't much to add one of the most prolific scorers the game had seen.. and also you're getting a guy who has already came back down to earth. Who isn't going to cause problems if he has to sit. The Mavs will be even better and this has to be the quickest turn around. And by far the best execution of FA, the Draft and trades, after one of the biggest fumbles in history. I said even after they only had gotten Kyrie and Lively to not sleep on the Mavs.. and I was right. They've been coming out swingin ever since.

Black is a decent prospect and Cole allows them to potentially pivot away from Scoot if his ceiling isn’t as high as initially thought. Can’t wait to see Grant, Ayton and Simons sit out the last 20 games with “injuries”…

Short answer, no. Brunson is a unique MVP caliber player. As others mentioned, this deal sets him up for life and avoids a potential Isaiah Thomas situation. For most supermax type players there is little risk of losing the bag, even if they do get a serious injury. For 6 foot second round picks, one serious leg injury could take all those max deals right off the table. Not saying nobody will ever do it, but it was a unique situation. It is not going to be the norm for millionaire hoopers to go out of their way to save billionaires a few bucks. It is still a union, after all. Most players see it as their duty to get the most money for their services.

I believe it will help if the Knicks have a lot more success this year. I'd like to think it would set a precedence for some. Especially older Superstars. But unfortunately we all know greed is very strong amongst people and tomorrow is never promised. So it would most definitely have to be guy's who are confident in their ability to resign for more money in the future. It will also have to be guy's who have already had at least one max of 4 to 5 year's prior, or close to it. I doubt any great up and coming Star player would take a pay cut in their first contract. We all know many "Stars" who should because of money made already, or simply because they aren't worth that much.. Do you actually care about winning and the franchises future, or does the money itself mean that much to you?? That will have to be what both player's and organizations ask themselves in the future. Much more so than in previous year's. You make the wrong "Star" signings now in this era and your team is screwed.. Like my Pacers done with the crappy Pascal contract.. smdh... They have an owner who most likely not want to pay the tax ever.. so why pretend like you want to get better.. Pascal was not the guy and a panic trade. Had they waited, they'd gotten OG anyways. Or could have gotten Hartenstein and a couple of guy's like a Naji Marshall and a De'Anthony Melton. Then added Terrance Shannon Jr., JaKobe Walter and Jaylen Wells. They'd been much better off... I'd then took a gamble and traded Nembhard for Caruso.. Or at least someone. They'd had a very bright future had they made those moves..

where are you even coming up with that number? he's losing $37m over the next 3 years or about $12.3m per year. the last year is a player option which he'll obviously decline. the idea is to get him to the 10 year mark and he can sign a salary as a % of the max. the cap is raising 8-10% per year. possibly more because the new TV deal is kicking in next year. that means that hypothetically if he's playing at this same level in 2-3 years he can sign another extension worth 35% of the max. it could be a proper 4-5 years which would recoup a large chunk of whatever he's taking a pay cut signing for now. and all that is not counting whatever the hell else he has access to for being a G in new york. unless you're a financial advisor to some really rich people, it really doesn't make sense to count player's money for them. to him he is taking the money, but also betting on himself and helping the team get as good as it can be.

the way everyone is talking about Lauri Markannen this year is how they talked about Robert Covington before he went to the rockets that one year. He's not that good.

Toronto Raptors should NEVER be grouped in with those teams. The Raptors has a clear future & it is clear what they are doing. They are building around Scottie with a good young core. Both IQ, RJ & Yak are good player. Gradey will be better next season. The bench is starting to take shape with a mix of vets, young players & intriguing rookies Masai just drafted.

@@uthamanjExcuse me? Raptors had a year filled with changes & injuries. Trades with OG, then Siakam, then trades at TD, injuries to key players Scottie & Yak thereafter resulting in the team purposely tanking. This is the 1st full yr of the team rebuild who actually has a solid core+ veterans not typical of rebuilding tms. Orlando, Spurs & Detroit has had 5 yrs minimum of rebuilds. Raptors imo is in a much better position than Spurs, Houston, etc. You will see it this season. Fans of other tms are just hoping to see us down but I assure you as long as Masai is at the helm of this franchise I ain't have nothing to worry about. We had a 7 straight yrs of playoffs since is arrival in 2013 & outside of last season & the Tampa tank has never had a losing season since he got here.

Does anyone who isn’t working for a team or covering teams actually care about all this first apron second apron talk??? Like I really don’t effing care and I find all of this talk confusing and boring. I’m starting to just start to tune out. I get talking about what teams are able to do based on these factors, but I really think podcasts host should consider the entertainment value of getting into the weeds of these talks. This is ultimately a basketball entertainment product and all this apron talk is killing my interest..

Are the owners taking pay cuts. No. Are they cutting ticket costs. No. Are they giving away free basketball games without some form of cable, internet or the combination of both. Once a week at best and twice on xmas. So No. Did they take less money to keep a 30year bball fans staple 'Inside the NBA' . NO. So why should the players take less.

They would have paid him, but that’s the union’s cap rules. That’s all part of union labor contract negotiations. If there was no cap Brunson would get a baseball contract. 10 years 400 million 😅😂
@mattwhitely1067Ай бұрын
That math is bs because the owners can overspend the cap etc so they can actually spend more money than the amount allocated so both role player and star can get paid it just costs the owners a lot.

Wrong, in the past that was true but not now. The cap is way different. NY cant just pay luxury tax to keep people
@mattwhitely1067Ай бұрын
@clutch7548 yes they can.. They pay the same luxury tax as golden state did but in the second apron it limits trades and after 2 years your pick goes to the end of the round but if you already have the team set up that should not matter.

Brunson taking a pay cut won’t set a precedent, it will serve as a lesson. Ain’t nobody in BOS taking a pay cut. And you still can’t beat em. In 5 years, nobody will care about that pay cut. Ask Scottie Pippen what his pay cut got him 😂

@@clutch7548 Realistically, this is could Brunson’s last contract. Guys his size don’t play past 35. At best he has one more contract at a very reduced role. James Dolan is worth over $2B and he can work until the day he dies. He ain’t taking a pay cut. Brunson is giving up millions that he will never be able to make back for an organization that makes money whether the Knicks win or lose. It’s dumb AF no matter how you look at it.

If we start the season with Wiggins on the roster, we're screwed. The flashes of 2022 Wiggins over the past two seasons is not enough to convince me that guy still exists. He looks absolutely crushed by life and, in my opinion, is a massive liability because of it. It almost doesn't make a difference what else happens this offseason if we have to rely on Wiggins' 45% motor.
