The biggest impact Julius Randle will have on the league happened this off-season:

While I have no doubt that Pop is qualified for and would be a great office holder, I doubt he has the wherewithal to put up with all the bullshit you have to put up with to run for and hold elective office.

Pop doing press conferences as a Senator/Governor would be worth every penny I would donate to his campaign. Someone would need to figure out how to bring Craig Sager back from the dead.

Yeah, the current NBA would confuse the gently caress out of this thread, circa 2011

Hell, if 6 months ago, I told you that Gordon Hayward, Jimmy Butler, Isiah Thomas, Kyrie Irving, Paul George, Chris Paul, Carmelo, and Paul Milsap all moved teams this offseason, you would think the entire world had exploded. If I told someone from 2011, Rose and Tyrke would also change teams, but not be good enough for people to care about, that would probably confuse people even more

I lied.

What in the everliving gently caress.

Because two year contracts for players that early in their career are rare I don't see it covered anywhere specific in the CBA FAQ, but I believe that no-trade is automatic because the contract ends the offseason where Mirotic becomes Early Bird eligible. Players on one year contracts that end that same year get auto no-trade clauses.

Yeah, that has to be the case, Mirotic does not meet the conditions for a negotiated no-trade otherwise: http://www.cbafaq.com/salarycap.htm#Q101

The Decision was a really, really bad one, but going to Miami seems to have been one of the best things for him both on a personal and professional level once he weathered the fallout.

e: and I'd argue the fallout was a big factor in everything too
