  1. Jett is Caleb now, by the way. His contract is already picked up. There is a date later this year when we either pick up or decline his contract next year. That's why we haven't heard or discussed his contract. The only thing left for him is if we jettison his contract in a trade or not. I do not believe we can, so expect his contract to be non guaranteed for next year later this summer.
  2. Yes and i would think they want to at least one more year. Because the luxury tax is like a time clock and i bet they would rather it start next year when Paolo's extension kicks in.
  3. And this is why last summer a bunch of us were worried about the extensions. Both those contracts last THREE YEARS!!! Even tanking teams won't do this without compensation.
  4. I guess the point is, all the guys in the price ranges we are talking about have flaws. For instance i can't believe old Brook Lopez got paid but he is a champion and has had incredible years at a late stage in his career.
  5. Or trade his contract to the Lakers for an expiring Maxi Kleber. Centers don't win championships anymore. Jokic is the literal unicorn we have all talked about since pingus tingus was drafted. Jokic is a unicorn, he doesn't count, might not ever be another like him.
  6. I can agree on this. Goga is the clear cut better old school center. He can man the inside and get rebounds. If we had to go without one i would rather go with that with a team as big as the Magic. In theory WCJ can do so much more, but it's all about him. We know he is soft around the rim, but he doesn't have to be.
  7. If they could convince Suggs to come off the bench he could be sixth man of the year. Why not?
  8. Can we sign Ben Simmons to a two way? LOL!
  9. Kennard to Atlanta! Question, does Atlanta have a salary cap like everyone else?
  10. WCJ is only 10 million this year and is super important to our overall defense. This is all on him and the coaches. He only gets moved if he is a massive disappointment. I'd rather start and finish the year dominating then think about some cost cutting smart guy trade. The main thing is most of these guys are somewhat movable to very movable if we have to.
  11. Next year should be all about; 1. Staying healthy, developing an offensive system. 2. Winning as much as we can, getting the highest seed we can. 3. At the least Paolo getting on an All-Nba team, All-Star....see number one. 4. Everyone else doing what they have all shown they can do. 5. Bonus....anyone else that gets an award.
  12. I nailed it, said we were going to draft whichever non center fell to 25, the trade up in the second round and Tyus Jones. Weltman isn't that secretive, internet always wins in the end. (Well, except the out of left field bane trade!) Also Who is this Penda guy again?, lol!
  13. Also there is no way everyone shoots as bad as last year. Expect Suggs and Paolo to at least show what they have already shown. Suggs did it for a year and Paolo showed he could hit the 3 for long stretches, he was just doing too much on our offensivley challenged team. If Franz starts hitting this team is nuts but he doesn't have to, Franz and his brother can do so much with the space they are about to have. If we re-sign Mo.
  14. Ty to the Magic pending details. First Nope damn. Edit
  15. Looks like the It's the Magic and Hawks in a death battle for the Southeast. I would still rather sweep the Heat and split with the Hawks next year.
  16. He got the full mid-level for 4 years and a trade excalator in the contract.
  17. This sight is pretty up to date. They are posting the contracts only a few minutes after they hit the net. https://www.spotrac.com/nba Guys we are targeting probably watching, so far guards are signing for more then the tax exception, except Brown. Most are going for between 6 and 12 million so we might not get someone for 5.7.
  18. Bruce Brown deal confirmed as a vet minimum. Nuggets might get one more minimum guy. I still think we need one more guard, ton still out there but they are going fast.
  19. He must like Disneyland more then Disneyworld.
  20. Houston Signing Clint Capela was something. Guys on a stream i'm listening to think it could be some precursor to a Giannis trade. They could easily send a package of Steven Adams,Sengun and Smith and still have great wings like Amen,Eason and Whitmore.
  21. In case anyone is wondering why we still have our centers, there isn't much out there and replacements cost about the same.
  22. And like 2 seconds later Bruce Brown back to the Nuggets.
  23. Denver deal is interesting. Can't wait to hear the radio guys tomorrow. This should also free them to make another move.
  24. We might just wait it out for the cheapest guy. Unlike previous seasons we are a destination now so we could just wait it out for the leftovers.
  25. Tre Mann is interesting because he is a shooter and his age is perfect. However, the teams giving up on him shows red flags big time. Never really watched him so i can only assume low BBIQ or very poor defense or both.
