I want to get excited about Exum cause I thought he was gonna kick rear end his first go round, but already having seen him in the NBA idk that I’d assume anything has been ‘fixed’. I do hope he succeeds though

OzFactor posted:He is worth so much more to the Mavs than the Dameless Blazers, they should not match. Are there stats somewhere about how many teams don’t match on their RFAs? Because it feels like nobody lets their RFAs go even when they should. I think the Blazers will match. It’s likely something like 4 for $50ish. He is only 26 and a good role player. Matisse is a Goodwin (Dame’s agent) client, so I think this is more about that than anything else.

Marc Stein downplays a PJ offer sheet in his newsletter today, and he's as plugged in with Dallas as anybody. A sign-and-trade is possible I guess but Charlotte doesn't have much incentive to play ball and his reported ask of $18M per year is very reasonable

Man you'd think that if Dame told them earlier he was bouncing they would have taken one of the bigger upside guys Here's what I keep thinking about : if we take everyone at their word and Dame really was waiting to see what the team would do to set up for him between the draft and the first round of signings, what was the non-Portland signing where he said "welp, that's it, I'm out?" Like, who specifically was he waiting for and didn't get? I wonder if he told them "get me Draymond or I'm out" and they said "we'll try!"

It was probably them resigning Grant and doing literally nothing else to improve the team. Portland signing Edy Tavares must not have moved the needle as much as they hoped.

Yeah I know he probably won't be as good but they're twins how bad can he be?

IcePhoenix posted:I never said it was a good idea I was just trying to connect dots Not that it's possible or likely, but wouldn't Conley for Murray be better fits for the other team if they were somehow traded? Seems like people were trying connect Murray to the Wolves for a while and the Hawks might be better off with a leader like Conley around.

The Blazers offered: #3 and Simons for Mikal Bridges Simons and 2 future firsts for O.G (who is on an expiring) Both are wild overpays and were turned down. It takes two to tango. It might be better in the long run for Portland, but definitely hurts!!!

Papes posted:Not on that contract he isn’t Lol have you payed attention to the nba trade deadline ever? This team is going to be bad, no free agent signing was going to change that. The van fleet signing is great because he helps teach the young guys a bit, the team stays bad for 2 years and then they either get to let him walk or trade him with assets for stuff that might help them get good. The reason why the brooks contract was universally maligned was because it’s 4 years, which is long and if he is bad then he’s hard to trade. However it’s going to look like a fairly cheap contract when it’s all said and done. 20 million is going to be close to the MLE by 2027.

Atlanta would need to gut their team and send picks they don't have for Siakam. The pieces rumoured back aside from Murray don't fit the raptors either. Bufkin becomes the 4th? 5th? Guard? They don't need another centre that can't shoot either. So it's essentially Murray and filler for Pascal and it doesn't seem to make sense imo for either team.

Siakim is not a first option so I understand clearing him out, but he also seems to really like Toronto and not want to leave, and those are the guys who ALWAYS get traded

Scoot is somewhere in the world of zion because no one knows if he's bad yet and everyone knows zion is going to miss 50% of games, which is not conducive to winning Once people see scoot play, all bets are off

I did see some games Scoot played in where, uhh, he didn't look that great. That said, he's still a great prospect and would be a #1 overall guy in a bunch of drafts. Hard to compare value to Zion because that's just a question of getting on the floor. He's an MVP-level guy when he's there but if you don't think he can take the NBA stress on his body then Zion is basically worthless.

I'll be really sad if Siakam gets traded since he actually wants to be here. But at the same time I get it, he's pushing 30 and on a different timeline than Scottie and the other young guys. Might as well sell high on him.

I don't think anyone is saying that Scoot is anything other than an very promising pick, and it's quite possible he has a better career than Mikal Bridges (maybe wildly better!) Bridges has the advantage of already proving himself as a great player in the NBA in two fairly different situations in PHX/BKN, Scoot hasn't played a single game of actual NBA basketball yet

Lockback posted:I did see some games Scoot played in where, uhh, he didn't look that great. Zion would easily be a top 5 player if he could stay healthy. I personally think Scoot’s playmaking will translate and will put him in that tier. He reminds me a lot of LeBron in high school with his court vision, speed, and passing ability. He is also clearly a leader. Obviously he won’t be as dominant given the size difference.

I'd be sad if Pascal was gone, I like his game, seems like a cool guy, and frankly players who contribute that WANT to be Raptors aren't in huge supply. But Ujiri has earned trust, largely.
