The Official NBA Season Thread: I’m like Jayson Tatum in the Olympics I'm not playing

[nick.]

Miami please

 

[ballinsam23]

Miami please

I'd take him depending on who's included instead of losing Obi for nothing, depending on Grimes inconsistency, and giving IQ a huge deal.

We're sort of in a position to maximize talent with Brunson here instead of waiting it out and hoping for these young guys to take a leap.

He's the best bad contract "star" available

 

[Raji Lowenthal]

(nss) like the Wizards could work on a trade without him. How you sign somebody to that kind of contract when you're not sure of the teams direction. KP should sign an extension he is a PERFECT fit for that organization

 

[Mister Meaner]

Simple and makes sense for the teams in transition. Wiz get their pg for the future. Homecoming for the yout.

Obi plays much more. The team is better. They take the next step into ECF contention.

I’d rather slot Alec Burcs back where J Hart is but the bench is still solid w/ Deuce getting a bigger role.

 

[mr s j king]

If this passes as 'very similar numbers' ima start telling ladies my meat is 12"

The numbers definitely pass as “very similar” because Sabonis wasn’t the primary ball handler for his team

So he averaged 19 a game having to wait for someone to pass him the ball as opposed to Jokic coming down court with the ball in his hands and dictating the offense

 

[Mister Meaner]

I’ll take some lesser PFs for Dubious in a s&t. Grant, Spicy P, Harrison Barnes or even Draymond Green are all candidates to be finding new homes this summer.

 

[allergic2broke]

Jovic goes no where.

Lol

That Beal contract is crazy

 

[storm2006]

I fully understand that Herro is the Heat's best player available on the block but is anyone else skeptical about starting a rebuild (Washington, Portland) with Herro locked in at $30MM per year? Portland would almost need to get a 3rd team involved because him Simons/Sharpe/Herro doesn't make much sense. Washington could swing it but...why?

 

[broncos19dm]

It's time... thank you for your service Beal

 

[703 hwy]

Fire the whole Wizards FO. Even that new guy from the Hawks.

Yes. Which I why I don’t understand what you guys were talking about yesterday.

I wouldn’t want Tyler Herro. No way. Sorry.

Rebuilding with Tyler Herro. Yea right. Get that dude away from me. (If I’m the Blazers)

It's almost like Jokic has a skillset that no one else in the league right now can match which allows him to play in a way that others wouldn't be able to.

Sabonis is good but those two are on different tiers.

You forgot to fill this out btw.

There are legit people in here that can check every single one of those boxes. Or at least close

Tyler Herro isn’t good enough to win a substantial number of games as your number 1 guy thus allowing you to* be an actual lottery team where you can get a chance at a top pick.

Washington or Portland can go in full tank as oppose to having to tread water to appease Beal or Dame.

I've been preaching the Lowry expiring but now I see why Miami wouldn't want to do it.

If they can get one of these stars for Herro+pieces+draft capital then I would imagine throughout the season/at the trade deadline they would look to move Lowry to a team with a malcontent or a team with cap space looking to shed salary and will trade for him then buy him out (similar to Rust last year). New CBA could have an affect though if the deal they take back is long-term.

Gotta get up 90% of the cap regardless. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

His own teammate has the exact same skillset
Had a triple double in the same game

But I thought the tweet was about old school Sabonis and he’s comparing the stats of the Kings Sabonis
So disregard my reply

 

[Mister Meaner]

Bench players getting ~20mms but Herro, their first scoring option, starts & plays off the bench, is on some albatross contract?

Them numbers soon gonna be average starters money.

Anyone expecting Herro to lead a team to any substantial success is setting yaself up for disappointment.

 

[storm2006]

Tyler Herro isn’t good enough to win a substantial number of games as your number 1 guy thus keeping you still a lottery team where you can get a chance at a top pick.

Washington or Portland can go in full tank as oppose to having to tread water to appease Beal or Dame.

I 100% agree which is my concern because you probably have him for 3 years minimum, if not the full 4. Winger would need Rafael Stone level of job protection if he's doing that.

 

[HIM]

Murray has the same skillset as Jokic?

Don’t really think the Herro contract is all that bad. Especially if you’re adding him to other young talent that you don’t have to pay yet.

Gotta spend money somewhere.

I'd rather Miami lock in a Butler/Beal/Bam trio than pay him $57M three years from now.

Have to be real selective with the new CBA

 

[krazy88s]

living on south beach with a mandatory body fat rule and being poked and prodded every day like cattle is pure hell I'd imagine

maybe that's why their draft history is so bad

 

[mr s j king]

Murray has the same skillset as Jokic?

Yeah they both shoot the ball well
They both are elite passers
And they both rebound extremely well which shouldn’t be hard for Jokic because he’s a 7 footer

If there was any team that could get away with it, it be them because of their scouting and development.
