This year's Spurs team might actually end up kinda deeper and improved in a lot of ways. Lot of shooters on the team, lot more space, Pau was great from beyond the arc last year and I expect LMA to shoot more 3s too. Like what I've seen of Rudy Gay and even Joffrey Lauvergne, preseason sample size aside, which just goes to show Pop is still the best in the league at getting the most out of players.quote:Always fascinated by some of the things that run through Pop's mind. He was asked earlier tonight about whether he thought today's technology possibly inhibited a coach's ability to build teams. Here's Pop's answer: "I don't worry about technology in that regard as far as team building. I worry about it in the world, for instance. I was listening to a TED Talk the other night. I can't remember the individual, but he was pulling for more human upgrade rather than technological upgrade. He said that we've done enough upgrades. It doesn't do anything. We need an upgrade as human beings. He talked about what that means. It's concern, empathy, and love and all that kind of thing that until we get that upgrade, we're doomed for all this tribalism and everything we're doing now. And dependence on all these things [such as technology], they don't do anything to help us as a race; as a human race. I'll stop there." Kawhi will be fine and it'll be fun watching him prove (yet again and again as he's done before) how much better he is than PG13

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid's five-year, $146.5 million maximum extension is essentially guaranteed but protects the franchise financially should Embiid suffer a contractually specific catastrophic injury, league sources told ESPN. Embiid, 23, signed the rookie-scale max extension Tuesday, with the $146.5 million total for the deal based on the NBA's new salary cap projections for the 2018-19 season. For the Sixers to curb the ultimate value of the extension, it would take the triggering of several severe circumstances detailed in a 35-page-plus contract. Embiid's unique career trajectory -- missing his first two NBA seasons with successive foot surgeries and playing only 31 games in the 2016-17 season -- created a pathway for Philadelphia general manager Bryan Colangelo; Embiid's agent, Leon Rose of CAA Sports; and the National Basketball Players Association to work together on creating a complicated and creative contractual agreement. The dramatic impact of Embiid's brief but dominant debut season left him as the only rookie since Wilt Chamberlain to average at least 28.7 points per 36 minutes played. Here's how a perfect storm of calamity would have to unfold for Embiid to earn any less than the full $146.5 million: Across each of the final four seasons of the extension, ending with the 2022-23 season, the 76ers could waive Embiid for a financial benefit if he's lost because of a contractually agreed-upon injury that causes him to miss 25 or more regular-season games and if he plays less than 1,650 minutes, league sources said. Specific injuries are laid out in the contract and include only past problem areas with Embiid's feet and back, sources said. ]Embiid has to miss 25 or more regular-season games because of injuries in those areas, and play less than 1,650 minutes, for Philadelphia to have the option of releasing him for cost savings. For example, if Embiid hypothetically suffered a serious knee or wrist injury -- something outside the contractual language surrounding the feet and back -- the 76ers would have no avenue to waive Embiid to reclaim any portion of his salary. And given Embiid's rare talent, there's a belief that he'd have to suffer a career-ending injury to inspire the 76ers to release him. If Embiid met that narrow criteria and the Sixers decided to waive him after the 2018-19 season, he would receive $84.2 million of his full contract; $98.2 million after the 2019-20 season; $113.3 million after the 2020-21 season; and $129.4 million after the 2021-22 season. What's more, if Embiid played a minimum of 1,650 regular-season minutes in three consecutive years during the extension, or three out of four including the 2017-18 season, those benchmarks would eliminate the possibility of a reduction in the contract, league sources said. http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/...strophic-injury http://es.pn/2y81h19 That's super team friendly imho. 1650 minutes is about 55 games . I wonder if knee injuries are included . Does not look like they are .

Can they just not play him a lot of minutes (even if he's healthy) if they want to get rid of him at some point? How does that work?

That would be a major problem on many fronts and would lead to a grievance . However the coach would never do that as he is by far and away their best player . In my opinion .

It's 35 pages, so it probably requires independent doctors to concur with the diagnoses of the specific injury location. More likely would be a Chris Bosh situation where the player wants to play but most doctors say no. But if they don't want to pay him they could just not give him the contract. I'm pretty sure the 76ers will be happy if he is able to play over 55 games.

Lockback posted:most doctors say no. In the past few years I started wondering about ringside boxers for boxing matches and why every contest isn't called the very instant the ref asks for an opinion. Seems to me like there's no way it isn't a violation of the Hippocratic Oath, "as the doctor here I think it's perfectly fine for you to continue getting punched in the head by a professional athlete" They must have completely different standards for patient well-being. They're bad doctors. I guess Mirza went to a ringside doctor and Bosh went to a normal one, since they had the same condition and all Edit: big boi posted:That Kevman story is super cool, and I'm looking forward the reading the article.
