I honestly thought we'd see a handful of guys go the Brunson route of taking less than the max to open up a competetive window for their teams. That said the opportunity to make money outside of playing ball in NYC is much greater than these other markets. You have to really appreciate what Jalen did here to create a window of roster maximization. I hope it gets us the trophy.

This is why - unlike and unfortunately for DDV - you won't see Leon trade Mikal or Hart unless something REALLY over the top pops up.

Brunson gave back something like $100M, which then paved the way for potential deep playoff dynasty, and that in turn paved for Brunson to definitely have his dad on the bench somewhere and his best buds who are on reasonable contracts and will stick around for the long haul.

You may be right Martin.

For me - I took the organizations statement post Thibs firing that team "is singularly focused on winning a championship".

That statement along with the Thibs firing makes me believe anyone can go and I'm not sure it needs to be an overwhelming offer.

On top of that if Mikal dicks around with extension talks he may just force the hand.

That’s pretty much why Randle was traded

That’s not accurate at all.

The tournament is growing on me. Not sure I agree with starting the season immediately with tournament games (we're already excited just to have basketball back, save it for a little bit later), but the games do have an extra gravity to them.

We should definitely win our group.

Man, it's glaring how weak the east is.

I’m certainly far from the only one to think that the Sixers were insane to take a gamble on Paul George with his injury history. To pair him with Embiid? Yikes. They should add an orthopedic wing to their arena.

How obscenely stupid are the Sixers? They make the Suns look like nuclear physicists.
