If the Suns let Ayton walk for Duren… lmao. That team is about to take a huge step back. Should’ve kept Ayton and Booker and built around them
Phoenix can’t afford to lose any of those guys tbh dang. Can’t afford to lose Johnson or Bridges, you can get something for Ayton especially another big like Capela or Turner.
Miles…about that…
Not looking to good for Miles, man 😒
Miles bridges got arrested like hours after this was uploaded
The Beal and walker situatiion are pretty much the same. Walker wanted the super max but didn’t get it and ended up getting trade. If the wizards don’t give Beal the supermax which they pretty much shouldn’t he could get trade and signed
I think Ayton is going to San Antonio. Traded Murray and will have max cap when Gallo is released.
Hey man Jimmy B has t-rex arms and he’s a plus defender. Leave Miles and us short-armed men alone 😂
I think the Pistons are punting on signing a big free agent this season – they just acquired Noel and Burks from the Knicks as well as 2 future 2nd rounders.
James Edwards III of the Athletic has been saying for a year and a half now that the team has been targeting 2023's better free agency class, and those two contracts have team options for 2023, plus they have some dead cap coming off the books that year and I think Olynk's contract only has a partial guarantee that year.
I like Miles, but Charlotte would likely match to at least force a sign and trade, and I'm not sure I'd be willing to part with what it would take to pull off that sign and trade.
Knicks getting rid of everybody to create max cap space to sign Brunson who isn’t even an all-star type of player, is such a Knicks move
I'd love to see Brunson on the Spurs. Pop could really get the most out of him
Imagine paying 27 mill for someone who isn’t a top 20 player at his position, this screams Otto porter jr signing all over again😂
AYTON GOING TO THE GUANDONG TIGERS NI HAO NI HAO AYTON
The Knicks aren’t going to regret it. His stats alone without Luka were really good and efficient. Also the Knicks are going to have to give extensions to Rj next season and other players so it’s a matter of whether or not they want to operate as an above the cap tam or below the cap. If they don’t add a contract now and then go above the cap to sign RJ then it would be more difficult to improve the roster moving forward. Plus they get a guard who can run the offense and score better than what they’ve had these past couple of season who’ll aid rj and all the other young players development
Jordan Poole would be a great get for some teams. I think Poole and Simons are on a similar tier but he is not even listed as a top free agent. Poole is probably getting 4 for 80 unless he takes less to stay on the dubs
Spurs should get Ayton
I want Ayton on the Mavs so bad! Beal needs to move to a team he can win with. I don’t want to see the best UF player of all time just play on a loser his whole career. 🐊
I can see Sexton staying in CLE and being an Isaiah Thomas 6th man scoring specialist.
As a spurs fan, I'm really excited. I hope we signed ayton. We're doing great if we have the no. 1 overall pick. Like Duncan and Robinson. Starting line up will be solid with ayton, sochan, johnson, vassell and murray
I wish toronto had the $ and interest to pursue Ayton. We (TO) need a meaningful 5
Im so conflicted on Beal. It feels like he wasted his career in a shitty franchise but at the same time, that money thooo
"If you are not willing to risk the usual you will have to settle for the ordinary." –Jim Rohn
Glad you brought up Simons. As a blazers fan i’m so happy how undervalued he is around the league rn. We’re gonna get him on a cheap contract that will keep him here til he’s 27. I think regardless e blazers would’ve matched any offer no matter how ridiculous because he’s clearly the future if Dame ends up leaving, so no way they let him walk. He’s gonna outplay his contract day 1 of the season
Hot topic.
If Harden opted out and 76ers decided not to give him a contract, does any team offer him a contract at all? Forget whether a team has cap space or not 🤔🤔
Good to see good players leave the West for the East. As a Kings fan, I hope they all leave, lol.
About Brunson you are wrong. This man is a winner and a champion been that way since Villanova. He shut down Chris Paul in the playoffs. Became Lucas’ number 2 in Dallas and defensively has been as good as Dallas has had. He doesn’t play like his height indicates. In facts he posts up smaller pgs. This would be the best free agent the Knicks have had in a loooong time.
The problem with Knicks fans is they only view superstars as competent free agency signings.
I feel like the Knicks and Brunson connection is a smoke screen for the Knicks pursuing Zach lavine in this free agency if the bulls dont offer him the full max then it's a core of aging players and a couple of good but not great young players not exactly the best situation going forward.
It’s crazy that guys who probably won’t ever be an allstar can get over $20 million a year
Detroit is likely pursuing Bridges but there's no chance that Charlotte lets him leave. Small market teams like Charlotte don't get great free agents so they have to build through the draft. Bridges is a fringe all-star (considered snub this year) who happens to be best friends with their other star: Melo. Considering he's young and still improving? He's worth close to a max. If you are Charlotte, you match even a max offer. Matching a RFA max is cheaper than Charlotte offering a max, so they are getting him cheaper by letting him explore the market.
Charlotte is a team on the rise. If not for the disastrous February where they went 2-12 when Hayward went down (and they figured out how to play without him after that), you're looking at a top 5 seed. And now they have their defensive center of the future in Williams. This is a team to look out for in the future… if they keep Bridges. So they will.
The knicks putting all there chips for brunson is laughable
And you will understand why they're one of the worst franchises ever
Bleacher report has Myles Turner sign and trade. Also Miles Bridges staying with Hornets. GET UPDATED ON THE NEWS, PLEASE.
Brunson to the Knicks will go down as one of the biggest “the grass isn’t always greener” situations. He’s not a #1 guy, he can’t play D the way Thibs wants and also thibs doesn’t like small guards, New York will be in the lottery again next year. Knicks are a poverty franchise
No doubt in my mind this channel will have 1 million subscribers one day.. Stella work. Thanks.
Knicks gonna Knicks
It's been reported the Spurs are closing in for a Rebuild. Therefore, they will be tanking. Also, DET just did a trade with the NYK for Alec Burks and Nerlens Noah. So no room for Ayton.
Anfrenee simons to Orlando would be huge. Hometown kid
I hope my hawks got gangbusters…..🔥
I wonder what Dallas has as a backup plan in terms of a sign and trade with NY, hopefully we can get something from this nonsense. NY is spreading their failure to Dallas by overpaying for Brunson, it is bad for both teams
It really hurts to lose Brunson for nothing as a mavs fan. Thought we could get reddish and Noel at least.
Miles to Detroit
Based on the history of the Suns, I am fully confident they will screw up this off season.
However, the idea of Deandre Ayton in SA intrigues me.
The Knicks are always desperate to sign anyone who shows any sort of resemblance to an all star. Lol.
Mavs should do a 3-way trade sending Brunson to Knicks and getting Lavine from Bulls
Knicks are gonna overpay Brunson instead of offering a more talented Simons a max who we could get out of Portland due to them not wanting to waste cap space. Average Knicks year…..
As fun as Brunson was to watch as a mavs fan last season, there is no way the mavs are going to keep him for anything even close to the numbers that are thrown around. Brunson is great, but very replacable for the mavs for a fraction of the cost, i honestly cant see the mavs paying more than 15 mil a year and it seems like there is a lot of teams out there that are willing to pay more. The fit with Luka is also still bad, as brunson is just not a really good off-ball player or 3pt shooter, he will even loose his starting rotation spot next season with THJ coming back and we still have Dinwiddie, you just cant justify paying 20+mil for a bench rotation player.
Brunson really is not worth that and I think most teams know this. He had a great second half to the season but seems hard for him to live up to that contact in 2-3 years
