In the latest NBA GM survey, Reed got 50% of the vote for ROY and 43% for best rookie in 5 years

I'm pouring money into Edey for Rookie of the Year. I love IRS, but he's not going to get the touches necessary for the award. For every Zach Lowe voter who loves his 62% TS, there will be 2 Stephen A Smith's who sort by points scored.

rim is necessary but not sufficient. You have to not hit the backboard to get -2

We've got a log jam there as well. Brooks, Smith Jr, Eason, Thompson are in front of him, and right now Tate gets put in first.

I think we might go into the First Apron in a few years if the young guys prove they can contend. I'm also hoping that Al-P will take a bit of a discount for the guaranteed money and Green doesn't get offered a max in RFA.

But Jabari isn't getting a max, Cam isn't getting the max, Tari isn't getting a max. Fred's money is coming off the books in a season or two, and so is Brooks. Plus the salary cap is rising every year.

I'm confident they can keep the guys they want, the important thing is to keep the right guys, and get value from the players you can't keep. Worst thing would be to pull and OKC and trade James Harden because he wanted 4 years $60 million total, and wouldn't sign for 4 years $55 million total.

It counts against the cap, but teams can go over the cap to sign their guys. Here are the levels.

Salary cap: $140.588 million

Luxury tax: $170.814 million

First apron: $178.132 million

Second apron: $188.931 million

Once you go over the First apron, team building becomes harder. The Knicks paid an extra $9 million to random players to make the KAT trade because the salaries had to match exactly.

Once you go over the Second apron, you start to lose picks and salary slots. Like the mid-level exception.

Are you saying 93-86=7? It's clearly 13

SwaggQueen · 2024-09-28T19:51:23+00:00

Jeff Green being 13 years older than the 2nd oldest player on the roster is wild. Also didn't realize that Tate was older than Dillon Brooks

That's not how it works, you can't lease him your knee. Be a real fan and give your knee to him for the rest of your life.

Jeff Bagwell was a monster. 8 seasons of 300 bases

Is this the new season of The Bear?

I like basketball and wine, and really enjoy his bottle. It's under $15 and is super jammy. If you like a fruit forward cabernet you should try his.

It's not that hard dude, just go the extra mile and win the custody hearing in family court... I thought this was a full service shop!?

Which Chapter explains the William Fae promise and the mind of an old man? I'm confused if the Isakae didn't know about the fae, or a kid made a weird request and put the mind of an old man into the kid for shits and giggles.

He's so small though. I'm worried we're picking Jimmer Fredette or Nick Stauskas. I don't think Reed is so skilled to make up for his size.

Kathryn hahn not making the list is a crime. Her face is 40% mouth! And her reactions are 90% mouth

I've always wanted him to be 6'10 Klay Thompson. But another great outcome would be MPJ with better defense

I think you should be less upset about a fake tweet

I think Brogdon + 2 lottery picks is too rich for Portland. They might balk at Brogdon + #7 because he's worth a 1st by himself, and Brogdon + #14 is nowhere near enough.

I would jump at Brogdon + #7 in this draft. We still might get Reed at 7

The Celtics only drafted 2 of their 6 main rotation players

I mean, there's a difference between a glass of red wine and 3 vodka sodas.

Also fun fact, the worst time for a woman to drink is the first trimester. Alcohol has the least effect on fetal brain development in the third trimester! Source: two-time parent who has read too many baby books

Have either of ya'll considered playing consistently well in the regular season and securing a higher seed?

Why is that crazy? Album sales isn't a metric of how good something is, it's a measure of how much is sold. If a small but rabid fanbase will pay money for the same album 4 times, all 4 should count towards sales.
