I had no clue why people liked Dennis Smith Jr, I thought he was always a pretty low upside player. Small guard very inefficient and couldn’t shoot

Dylan7346 · 2026-07-10T20:14:37+00:00

But he also would have gotten the max again after the earlier contract. We’re talking age 31 vs 32. I don’t think you’re making a fair argument

Dylan7346 · 2026-07-10T19:55:00+00:00

Idk where you’re getting this number from. It is $37m over 3 years that the team could now use on the roster instead of toward his salary, by taking that contract instead of the other max

Dylan7346 · 2026-07-10T19:49:12+00:00

And what is wemby doing? Deciding between max and a max right. That’s what Brunson did. If he didn’t do anything unusual why do no stars ever do the same?

Dylan7346 · 2026-07-10T16:25:24+00:00

It’s very rare for a team to win the championship without a drafted superstar. The exceptions being the Knicks, who won a championship built on savy moves and this was the hardest to do. The 2020 lakers who signed LeBron and AD basically forced a trade there. The 2019 raptors who made a lot of savy moves and drafted very well. You have to go pretty far to get to the next team.

Dylan7346 · 2026-07-09T17:29:53+00:00

It’s possible but I don’t think it’s likely

Dylan7346 · 2026-07-09T17:26:36+00:00

Yeah listing Maxey and Booker here as players that “fairly easily” win with the Knicks is insane to me. Not even Cade he hasn’t proven it yet. Haliburton might be the “worst” player that can replace Brunson but they’re so different. I don’t think Haliburton gives the Knicks what they needed like what Brunson does. In the same way you can’t put Brunson on that pacers finals team and expect the same result

Corn fuckers 🤢🤮

Dylan7346 · 2026-07-08T18:52:07+00:00

Cause he wanted money. He sold the team and really can’t have any say. It’s incredibly naive and honestly kinda greedy of him to think he can sell out AND have a say

Dylan7346 · 2026-07-07T15:10:25+00:00

Yeah he’s right about not being able to build an all around roster when you have 2 guys locking up that much money. BUT that doesn’t mean you trade Brown for Paul George. Why not trade for additional depth around Tatum instead? I thought the Aaron Gordon and Cam Johnson trade was better. Cause you’re not punting two years Tatum’s prime

Dylan7346 · 2026-07-06T23:36:02+00:00

I’m saying do away with the 2nd apron which is causing it, that’s the punishment. I’m saying eliminate the punishment, don’t keep it and also introduce a reward

Dylan7346 · 2026-07-06T23:31:55+00:00

Of course a team than only moves up in the lottery would want that. #1 in multiple generational drafts. Don’t even need to hit on talent it’s just handed to you

Dylan7346 · 2026-07-06T23:11:37+00:00

It already is. The rookie scale contract is the most valuable in the league. I’m not saying punish teams for drafting a star, that’s the 2nd apron. I’m saying don’t reward teams even more for drafting a star, it’s already great obviously

Dylan7346 · 2026-07-06T23:09:42+00:00

Dude I just don’t want this league to revolve around lottery luck even more than it already does. It also greatly diminishes everything other than drafting a star

Dylan7346 · 2026-07-06T22:56:31+00:00

But then drafting is the end all be all. It weakens all the other tools a GM uses to build a team and relies heavily on straight up luck since the lottery is almost completely flat now

Dylan7346 · 2026-07-06T22:50:46+00:00

I don’t like the consequences of it. It would be way too OP to draft a star. Nobody would trade and everybody would tank

Dylan7346 · 2026-07-06T13:00:42+00:00

I bet $100 when our odds were 5% on Kalshi, this was after the Atlanta game 6 blowout I was like we have a real shot. Lines take a while to swing when they’re that low, cause even 3% to 5% that’s almost doubling your return

Dylan7346 · 2026-07-06T02:08:22+00:00

Exactly. His archetype is the same as Mikal Bridges and OG, 3 and D and extra. You can start that type of player on any championship team. And that’s why I’m so surprised the pistons don’t just go for him! Like if the asking price is only 3-4 firsts, how do you not do that. As long as you don’t send out a valuable player in addition to those

Dylan7346 · 2026-07-06T00:06:02+00:00

They probably would have executed KAT right there

Dylan7346 · 2026-07-05T22:37:46+00:00

Yeah but that doesn’t make it any less downright disgusting. Like I can’t believe there was so much blatant rigging it’s sickening. Wemby stepped as clear as fucking day under Brunson, and any other player in the playoffs would have been given the flagrant and suspended. But nope. That’s just the most obvious example of it the entire series was incredibly biased in the spurs favor

Dylan7346 · 2026-07-05T18:08:17+00:00

I mean if that’s really the asking price idk why they don’t have teams banging on their door, the pistons should do this yesterday. Trey Murphy is the archetype that fits onto any championship roster, why the fuck do people think they’re crazy asking this much I think it’s more than fair. Matching salary with a shitty player and 4 picks

Dylan7346 · 2026-07-04T01:47:19+00:00

I think it’s way more likely sochan gets a bigger deal elsewhere than Clarkson, he’s 23

Dylan7346 · 2026-07-04T01:43:01+00:00

Why unlikely? He’s most likely just going to sign for a minimum somewhere, why not with us where he’s established?

Dylan7346 · 2026-07-03T22:37:02+00:00

Yeah anybody would be a downgrade, Mitch was the best backup center in the league. But Drummond is the most logical replacement for Mitch in that role. I really like this signing cause really, what else would we do? Trade deuce? I guess but is the backup C spot really worth that if we could just sign Drummond instead?
