Why are the Celts wanting to get rid of one of those 3 guys again? Even if they go over the luxury isn't it actually a pretty small amount considering each of those guys is making around 7-8 mil?

They cannot Max out Gordon without trading one of those guys

I think you're supposed to pick between paying a guy way too much and giving him a bunch of super player-friendly conditions, not do both

Revelry in the Dark

with a trade kicker, does the salary go up 15% for the year that the trade is completed or is it for the remaining life of the contract?

The Justin Holiday deal was weirdly a good deal for the Bulls. I have no clue how they got it done.

I can't tell if Atlanta or the Knicks are dumber for signing Hardaway to that deal, because the Hawks took away MIlsap at the trade deadline for no good reason

I thought Hardaway's season was a little flukey but, uhh, I guess the Knicks didn't think so.

Atlanta's kind of in a weird position, because that's the kind of screwball gently caress-off RFA offer they might toss at a guy this offseason, but it's their own player

They don't have anything better to do with their money but he's really unlikely to be a noteworthy asset at that price. They should let him go but I can see them thinking "gently caress it, why not" and matching

Yeah they're rebuilding and Hardaway is a nice young piece to have around. On the other hand, $71 million is ridiculous (with a trade kicker that makes him harder to move) and they're better off using that money to take on bad contracts for assets over the next couple years.

Rondo does better with rookies and can teach more to Lonzo than D Rose in my opinion

Or is it just about the fact that he's Rondo

I think I would rather have Rondo on my team, by all accounts he was pretty great with the Bulls rookies and he and Lavar Ball are a match made in heaven
