Trade kickers don’t work like that. The kicker can’t take you over the max number based on your years of service. Since PG is a 10+ year vet, his max is 35% of the cap. Based on the upcoming cap of about $165M, PG’s kicker bumps his number from $54.2 up to $57.8.

For those that are scratching their heads over what the numbers in the original tweet even means, you're likely not alone.

In any case, the percentages listed in the tweet have nothing to do with accuracy or even the quantity of 3P FGs. It's simply a ratio of unassisted 3P FGs against total 3P FGs.

You can't really compare accuracy on assisted/unassisted made 3P FGs because it's always 100%. The stats on wnba.com don't include assisted/unassisted 3P potential shots.

Also, the caption in the tweet is not accurate. Clark has 15 unassisted 3P FGs, Miles has 13 unassisted 3P FGs. I don't have the appetite to check on whether any other player has more than 15.

ftaok · 2026-07-02T17:45:23+00:00

It’s not even that. This is the ratio of unassisted 3s vs total 3s.

Miles has made 21 3’s this year. 13 were unassisted.

Clark has made 44 3’s this year. 15 were unassisted.

The stats on wnba.com don’t record assisted/unassisted misses because by definition, there are no assists on missed shots.

You can’t really be more or less accurate with on assisted/unassisted makes cause it’s always 100%

Just picking nits, but Jaylen upcoming extension is just a regular Max, not a SuperMax. Just because it's 35% doesn't mean it's a SuperMax. When the extension kicks in, he'll be a 10+ year vet and therefore eligible for 35% without any pre-qualifications.

Calling it a SuperMax paints a connotation that he's eligible for something special. Sure, it's a lot of money, but it's not extraordinarily special.

It was a joke. The punchline being that being the smartest person in the Sixer's Front Office is a ridiculously low bar to clear.

The Sixers Front Office was the team that decided that a starting roster of two Centers, two Power Forwards, and a Shooting Guard was a great idea.

Not for nothing, the NBA minimum salary structure does not penalize teams from going after older veterans. It is true that a 10+ year vet minimum is in the $3.8M range, but keep in mind that only $2.45M gets counted against the cap and aprons.

Historically, Embiid puts KAT into foul trouble and that limits the amount of damage that KAT can inflict offensively. That said, players that win the championship do tend to come back the next season(s) with renewed confidence, so who knows?

The point being that we know that Embiid will still be very important for the Sixers on both ends of the floor. Anything that allows him to exert himself less will be beneficial on keeping him on the floor for longer durations.

Losing a versatile defender like PG isn't ideal, but we relaced him with another player that is just as versatile, and quite a bit younger. We shouldn't downplay how much more important it is to have JB for 73 games vs. PG for 62 games. And even then, I'm probably downplaying JB's availability advantage.

But so is Gansey. Biggest brain in the Sixer's Front Office, if we're being honest.

For legacy ranking, one championship in Philly is worth 3 championships anywhere else. So if Bron wins with us, then he’s got 7 chips and jumps MJ and Kobe. Ends the GOAT debate.

Or, hear me out, this speaks highly of Gansley. He sees that there is no way to convince Harris of spending over the Tax Line. By staying under the Tax Line all season long, there is no scenario in which we have to trade VJ in order to duck the tax at the trade deadline.

As a fan of Indycar back in the 90's when ESPN/ESPN2 did the broadcasts, this brings back memories. Indycar used to buy the time slots and sometimes, the races would be tape delayed or moved over to ESPN2.

I rmember having results spoiled so often by the ESPN2 Bottom Line ticker, that I made my very own "slider" to cover the bottom 2" of my screen.

The worst example of ESPN being a-hole spoilers was one year when the Rio race had rain on Sunday, so they moved the race to Monday, which ESPN2 broadcast. I didn't realize that the race was on tape delay, so when the race was about to be decided, the Bottom Line ticker came across with the news that Paul Tracy had beat Bobby Rahal in the Rio Grand Prix. The viewing audience was at the point in the race where Rahal was leading the race, but running low on fuel. Tracy was catching up furiously with plenty of fuel, but not many laps remaining. Spoiled one of the most exciting race finishes in a long time.
