Don't see a reason why Flynn couldn't attend. Maybe they just don't think there is anything more for him to prove against this competition. Which I could understand.

I agree on D. Johnson. I don't...

I just spent some time going down memory lane in the 2018 off-season thread and the thread created after the trade. There were definitely a lot of big emotions :).

The story of MU lying to DeMar...

I can understand that comparison.

Oh, I'm fine with the OG/GTJ and picks package. That wouldn't upset me at all. For me the mistake would be trading so much off your roster that we don't have enough around Durant to make a real shot...

For me, what is different this time around is how I feel about the team. The vibe isn't the same as the Kawhi summer for me. The team in 2018 had reached its plateau in my opinion. The back to back...

I wouldn’t have had issue packaging Trent and a 1st. I am not ticked off that we didn’t do it, but I like Brogdon better as a core piece and wouldn’t mind giving a pick for the improvement

In terms of KD, I think the two packages I would propose are OG/GTJ and the heavy draft pick compensation (3 1sts and swaps in between) or Siakam, Flynn and 2023 plus 2025 1st rounders.

I don’t...

Kessler was a first round pick this year too. It is a decent group of young assets with the picks. The trade could look really good for Utah in a few years.

Utah probably rebuilding. Curious what happens with Mitchell.

Grange tweeted that his understanding is that its a part of the MLE, but not the full thing. No details though. I wonder if they are saving part of the MLE to give Koloko some term on his rookie...

Really don't like the Celtics getting Brogdon... Smart/Brogdon/White is a really interesting group of guards to play with Tatum, Brown and Williams...

Shorter term than I would have expected.

The Nets easily say no.

About that. Not sure how the increases are. MLE starts at 10.4, but allows a % increase each year. Probably pretty similar.

We still have the MLE though. Could technically still go after Bamba...

I'm not saying I wouldn't love Durant here, but some of the trade ideas sound absolutely insane. He will be 34 years old before next season starts and has missed about 40% of possible NBA games since...

Thad Young with 2 yrs, 16 million dollar deal to stay.

Some relief for me seeing the Boucher number. Happy I was way off what I thought someone would pay

How much do you guys think Mo Bamba gets paid? Someone gives him more than the MLE right? At 24 years old, he is an interesting MLE candidate if not...

Amir Coffey is also an interesting name in...

I think that is with the intent of them resigning him to a new long term deal though no? At least that is how I remember reading it. It initially caught my eye. I really like Dort.

I love it for the Hawks. It isn't a cheap price, but it is a 25 year old all star they acquire with a couple years left. Murray is really good already and just beginning his prime. The task for ATL...

What is the Raptors equivalent of that deal?

Flynn, GTJ and 3 1st round picks?

I would do that for the record. Murray is 25 years old and would have been perfect with this core IMO

Sounds like the highest number he can extend for in the rules is 4 year, 114 million. About 28.5 per season. If Bradley Beal is making 50 million per year it is easier to make sense of the numbers.

Love how quick Moreno is controlling the run game. That steal attempt by Refsnyder wasn't even close.

Up and down from the G League is my expectation. Much like Banton last year. There will be moments when he gets into an NBA game but I expect there will be too many mouths to feed minutes to for him...
