how can we not talk about family
when family's all that we got?
Bomani did a good breakdown of the Sixers (I think it's good cause he said a lot of stuff I already thought)

I wonder what Morey's plan is

what contender is gonna give Harden more than 2 years? I can't fit him in anywhere mentally

1) Embiid looked like he didn’t want the ball at the end of games 6 or 7 and the MVP shouldn't be getting locked up by anyone let alone Horford, is at the "no excuses" stage of his career 2) the goal of The Process was to get two home grown stars, and they did that, but every other big move they made beyond Simmons and Embiid (drafting Oakafir, picking Harris over Butler, Colangelo's whole tenure, hiring Doc/hiring a coach before GM, alienating Simmons, getting Harden) was the wrong choice 3) no young core to develop and build around, Maxey's it and he has a ceiling

He'd be a good signing for a win-now team that will be rebuilding in a couple years. He's still got a couple good seasons left but lmao he's gotta get a 4 year deal and if he plays more than 60 games in the last two years of the deal it would be a miracle.

i would like to hear your thoughts, sure. i know you want to post them, too, so have at it

I am not 100% sure about any of this

1. there are two aprons now. the penalties around the first apron have been intensified. if you go past the second apron you are basically shut down down. if you are past an apron you can no longer sign players waived at the end of the season.

importantly if you are past the second apron for more than one year I think your first round draft pick in seven years is frozen (can’t be traded) and then if it persists your first round pick is moved to the end of the first round

also if you are past an apron your trade exceptions expire

also all the luxury taxes past the first two levels were made super onerous

2. all the old FA exceptions like the room exception and the mid level exception now also act as trade exceptions and waiver pick up exceptions . this should open up a lot of activity every year

3. as mentioned teams have to be above the 90% salary floor every day starting opening day or start paying fines. this should make big expiring deals (Tobias ) more valuable

some other stuff

they should put the salary floor rule in baseball

4. cap smoothing is in. can only go up max 10% a year. if the 50/50ish split gets out of wack there is ways for the owners to pay the players outside of like Evan Turner getting 499 million dollars

the cap can no longer go down

euphronius
Feb 18, 2009

5. teams can negotiate with their own Fas after the last game of the finals. nothing can be announced until after the moratorium is over . this applies to players and agents. the Union will fine players and agents who disclose deals before the end of the moratorium. league fines of executives can be up to 2 million, suspensions ! and loss of draft picks
