That cell phone story is worrysome! :D I was saying I've liked a lot Denver offseason, both financially wise and for the players they got, but seems they're going to lose Valenciunas, that was the first real backup for Jokic in a long time. (is legit to have a player traded and then heading to Europe just a few days later? strange!)

Now we know! :P Considering that the market for Jett is probably none, I've thought too about the possibility of stretching him, especially after the Dame thing. Don't know if FO will go that way, we'll see, but we're at 14 so we can also easily stop here and wait.

So, when we expect news for Moe and possibly Caleb? Waiting that the other teams make their moves and there's no more cap space available?

Thanks for the article Soul, that was something that a lot of us was requiring in the last few season even if doesn't seem to be a pure offensive or shooting coach, will surely help and his background seem really solid. Let's hope we don't lose our def one now.

You should be banned for only proposing this! :P

They had Hali and traded him, preferring Fox. Then they obviously traded Fox too. Then they noticed the need for a PG... just to pay 45m a player that was traded multiple times in february and waived... They also traded Valenciaunas for Saric straight away, with no picks involved. Great management. Btw, Denver offseason has been really interesting. Got Cam, got Bowen back at the minimum (+ Hardaway I've just seen), and then finally a center to survive non-Jokic minutes, that has always been a big issue. They played the champs to game 7 even with a few health problems, and now they're probably better. Something to look at in the wild West, that will be even tougher and more competitive than the East.

Milwaukee needed to do something bold, Giannis has been as patient as possible, but there's a limit (one series won in 4 years...). Will those moves works? Who knows, but at least they're showing him they're trying. Feeling bad for Indiana, and even a bit for Boston (that's not true), that had to broke up great groups due to terrible injuries + cap limitations.

Context matter on the post too, as I was just saying that I was surprised by the "overpay" cause it puts us in a situation that prevent another possible move. Also, I don't care a lot if he accepted the minimum in PHO hoping for a big raise... Suns seasons was a disaster and his season was average, so maybe he should have accepted less to sign for a team that will actualy make playoffs! :P I'm still surprised by the fact we didn't signed him last season if it was a "Weltman" player, would have possibly been a lot more useful for our team last year, and we could have paid surely more than PHO. Now it was a bit strange after the other moves, but I'm not complaining, just saying it has surprised me the sudden philosophy change (in a positive way).

I can't disagree with that, but still, he hasn't set the world on fire in PHO and we were really close to not be hard capped. All the guy you listed are also probably younger, and not going to contenders. Anyway, I spent most of the evening writing I would have been surprised if we got him due to past circumstances, and... we did. WeltHam was known for being unpredictable, but this time has been the opposite. - said we were going to be aggressive and change philosophy, and we did both. - said other teams were asking a lot knowing our weakness, and he had to send a lot of picks for Bane. - everyone was expecting and suggesting Tyus... and they were actually right! Side note about Bane: a lot where probably expecting Memphis to start a rebuild after the trade, but they've been really active and make moves to stay competitive. Why they traded him then? Probably the long list of assets received was the only way and too good of an offer to say no.

I was surprised by the amount too, it's a clear overpay considering other contract around and he was coming from a veteran minimum, and while I don't care about it being ony a 1yr deal, the consequences for the other moves are far more important. About his defense, we don't know Rich yet but both could possibly have the same issue, we have a few combinations with our new backcourt now, and I believe Tyus will play 5/10 minutes in the playoffs only when the opposite lineup allows it.

The Denver Nuggets are trading Michael Porter Jr. and an unprotected 2032 first-round pick to the Brooklyn Nets for Cam Johnson, sources tell ESPN. (Shams) Interesting..
