Side note. Elon is the absolute worst. They should have let him back out of buying Twitter cause he's gonna run that app out of business for real. This dude picks NBA FA to try to force people to buy checkmarks. FOH Musk

Yeah a verified twitter account is pretty much necessary as a non-casual sports fan these days, has been for hours honestly

Re: 2023 Offseason Thread

Man lakers have made some great deals.

By far my favorite signing is Jaxson Hayes. Especially at the money they got him (and Cam). Especially if he stays healthy. When the Pels went on that run then were beating the Suns in that series. I don't think people realize how effective Jaxson Hayes was in those few months. He caused so many problems for teams in transition.

Watch this little highlight. It's only 49 seconds. But you can tell this dude just runs for his size.

Locked up Devin Booker here

I could keep going on. The Lakers made calculated moves that actually fit around their current core of players.

It has been kinda funny seeing people rant about it on there, I can’t even front.

Jeff Green returning to Houston. What has Denver done?

Gave out the worst contract this offseason Reggie Jackson 2 year and 10 million when he was a minimum player. Which now limits them going forward with the exemptions they can offer.

Wow... Why Reggie Jackson?

That is not the worst contract handed out. It’s basically the vet minimum for a 10 year vet($2.72 Mil).

Jeff Green signing is good for Houston because he’s exactly what they need in that locker room.

Yep I actually really like Houston's moves they have veteran leadership in there now. And they have plenty of young talent to trade for a star to get even better or they can mold these guys. Green is super talented he just needs leadership and Sengun is a star in the making.

Great offseason for Houston. There's definitely a plan in place now and they won't be a laughing stock anymore.

Re: 2023 Offseason Thread

Jordan Clarkson and the Jazz agree to a 3 year $55M extension

great value for a 21 PPG scorer still in his prime

edit: allegedly the contract is frontloaded too. $25.8M the first year, then it drops to $15.5M, and then $14.2M - if his production continues he could be one of the most valuable contracts in the league next summer

'Philly's asking price for Harden is "extremely high" and the 76ers are prepared to wait for the most advantageous deal to accommodate Harden's trade request, per @wojespn"

Which says to me, Morey isn't trading Harden unless he wins the deal. The one advantage Morey has is that starting caliber PGs aren't easily available. Whatever is left in Free Agency(outside of Ayo), is end of bench quality. Outside of that, not too many teams have excess starting PGs on their roster that they're willing to trade

did they need to do anything? retain most of the best team in basketball. Reggie Jackson wasn't great but it's mostly whatever in the grand scheme of things. Peyton Watson who they really like and Braun will likely fill in for the Bruce Brown departure + the draft picks. They are still the clear favorite.

Probably because Bruce left.

Usually you get these ring chasers

I know they love Peyton. I figured Reggie Jackson was late signing and he wouldn't get another deal.

Probably because Bruce left.

True


I agree with all the above by the way. I just thought someone would sign on for a ring chase. Someone similar to a Jeff Green. You guys know what I mean!

Re: 2023 Offseason Thread

Just seeing Patty Mills is headed to OKC. That's a solid pick for their bench.

Did the same thing with Ben if I’m not mistaken.

Just happened to luck out once the Harden/BK thing started to go sideways.

Re: 2023 Offseason Thread

We all knew this was coming right?

Divincenzo to knicks 4/50

They still need a big wing defender, IMO. I'm not sure who is still available that could fill that role.
