you literally think a person saying their NBA team of choice being better than the fucking 76ers is a 'schtick'

a literal thing you think.

These deals are super smart for philly because if they are not in contention they can dump them at the deadline for assets.

I am still totally confused as to the Paul George deal. Regardless of what Boston offered, there was at least one other deal offered that was much, much better than what OKC offered. And if the intention was to get him out of the Eastern Conference, I know of at least one offer from a Western Conference team that involved picks and didn't involve Oladipo's terrible contact. I cannot get my head around this.

Spite is a hell of a thing.



I think the 2016 draft thread will reflect that I was pretty high on the potential of this dude, although he was years away then.


Does like Earvin think Lebron is a free agent this season? I'm not going to cry too many tears for Black, but he was a decent player and played hard for a bad team and his contract was extremely reasonable. I mean I'd at least like to see Thomas Bryant play before committing to him being the second center for the team.

I feel like Amir could've just sat around a week for teams with lots of money to have holes burning in their wallets to toss him a 4 year deal.

It's confusing to me, I thought they changed the over 36 rule to reward the banana boat crew for not trying to recoup lost BRI from owners? Is that only as part of max deals? I can't figure it out

Apparently money after the age of 38 is considered likely to be post-retirement and counts towards the cap for the years pre-38

or something I dunno

e: Oh I guess the change was that they altered it from age 36 to age 38. But Nene's 34 so the last year reduces the amount of money they can offer him overall as a non-bird free agent. They can still give him more money via one of their exceptions but then they wouldn't have it for someone else.
