July 1Jul 1 [Charania] Turner, the longest tenured Pacer, made it known he wished to remain in Indiana. Since the Game 7 exit, Turner’s reps pushed to get a deal done. Ultimately, Indiana’s aversion to the tax, which grew after Tyrese Haliburton’s injury, allowed Bucks to get the new franchise center.
July 1Jul 1 Windhorst described the Dame buyout as getting a “mortgage on your mortgage”. Biggest buyout previously was $31 million in 2001 for Bison Dele. $23 million in dead cap for the next 5 years in the NBA is INSANE. What a horrible move to try to keep Giannis happy.

July 1Jul 1 [Charania] The Sacramento Kings are trading Jonas Valanciunas to the Denver Nuggets for Dario Saric, sources tell ESPN.
July 1Jul 1 Denver is having a spectacular off season. If Bruce Brown isn't washed and they can generally stay healthy, I think they're the best team in the league. I can't believe Milwaukee is eating $22 million for the next five years on Lillard just so they can sign Myles Turner. This is some bonkers shit.

July 1Jul 1 KCP coming back to Denver makes too much sense, but would prefer a decent backup PG that plays at least average perimeter D.

July 1Jul 1 While the Nuggets are getting greedy, may as well ship Zeke Nnaji and Julian Strawther for Josh Giddey in a sign and trade.
July 1Jul 1 The Kings should be relegated from the NBA for stupidity and generational shittiness. They got horrible value for Valuncianas and are fucking helping the Nuggets have a great offseason. Damn, damn, damn.

My only memory of Booker is of him being a pouty little bitch in last years playoffs while getting punked nonstop by Luka. Booker still has 3 yrs left on his deal. SGA only had one yr left. They started letting teams extend player when they have 3 yrs or less left recently but a player cannot have more than 5 yrs on the books. Max salary is calculated based on yrs of service. Booker has been in the league for 10 so his max is 35% of the cap. SGA has been in the league for only 7 so his max would be 30%.

If SGA is still at the top of his game when he hits 10 years would he extend at 35%?
July 1Jul 1 Just now, 'stache said: Thanks. Stupid complicated but that makes sense. If SGA is still at the top of his game when he hits 10 years would he extend at 35%? Yep, he would then have 2 yrs left and be above 10 yrs of service. So it would make sense for him to not extend in 2 yrs and wait another yr.

July 1Jul 1 Dude, Denver. Save some for the rest of us. Atlanta, Houston, and Denver are having incredible off-seasons. New Orleans and Milwaukee, not so much. At least they’re world class drinking towns.

Crazy how Booth had to give up 3 2nds to offload Reggie Jackson’s 1 year 5 mil deal when Reggie actually played and contributed, albeit not great. Booth really fucked us post ship, GD.

Couldn’t believe straight swap. So so so glad that Ben Ten Wallace understands the GD assignment.

July 1Jul 1 Sims and Turner both on the Bucks is kinda cool. They’ll be easy to root for on the other side of the league.
July 1Jul 1 Just gonna state that working for a company based out of Canada and today being Canada Day with 90% of the office out is really nice for following NBA Free Agency all day. No meetings, NBA TV on the big screen, Reddit, X and surly. LFG Nuggs!

July 1Jul 1 5 hours ago, Mitch Cumsteen said: The Nets are bottoming the fuck out. They are taking on a salary that they need anyway to get to the salary floor and in return getting an unprotected first round pick when Jokic is like 37 years old. They can also trade MPJ probably for another first round pick at the deadline in 2027 when his contract is expiring. It's textbook use of cap space for a tanking team. They still have more assets to deal. More tanking, more pick collecting, etc. Their unprotected 2027 belongs to the Rockets though.

July 1Jul 1 And the Nuggets already have a new coach in place, so good for them! Hey New York, how's that coach search coming along?

We have the ability to add one more, but pretty sure we’d have to go over the first apron which I think we’re gonna avoid so we don’t get the repeat offender. FO said they wanted perimeter d, shooting and big man depth. After one full day of FA: check, check and check! I picked an excellent fucking time to take over my buddy’s half season ticket for the Nuggs a few months ago.

They can go from having too few bench players to guys fighting for minutes off the bench.
July 1Jul 1 The vet minimum market is pretty robust at the moment. If you can sell minutes and a path to another contract, there are quality players to be had.
