I am not sure Lavine would be too much of a negative salary wise for our team. If we keep and extend Walker Kessler, he will be on a new deal after two seasons. The same applies for Collin Sexton. The rest of our guys - and i exclude Collins and our new veteran center here - are all on their...

Because there are different kind of maxes. From year 3 to 5, Lauri`s deal will be below the 30% max. Most other contenders have at least one player earning a 35% max. We actually have no way of paying anyone the 35% max unless we trade for someone already on it. If we are ready to contend i...

Ideally I`d like to see two out of three of our vets moved for an injured or totally washed player. If Lavine needs to sit out most or all of the year, I`d consider him if they are willing to give up picks even though he has 3 years left. MIddleton would be an option of he gets injured, as would...

The age of players taking less is over, isn`t it. Jaylen Brown demanded and got his full max last year to stay in Boston. The stars in Miami and LA are all on their maxes so why would we be any different?

If this tweet is right, Lauri is taking around $13 million less than his absolute max over the last three years of this deal. In the first two years, he is making a total of $88 million. This leaves $150 million for the last three years. If this is flat, he will be making 29% of the cap in year...

We probably still lose most of the games. We will have to run long stretches with 2-3 players on rookie deals will have to share the floor with you few proven guys. I have a hard time seeing a team that will have to play Hendricks, Sensabaugh, George, Williams and Collier serious minutes not...

We have one all star player in Lauri Markkanen, one decent starter in Collin Sexton and two proven rotation players in John Collins and Jordan Clarkson. Keyonte George, Taylor Hendricks, Walker Kessler, Brice Sensabaugh, Cody Williams and Isaiah Collier will most likely all see a lot of playing...

"League sources said Markkanen’s deal is projected to be worth upwards of $200 million over five years" If the average salary is just over $40 million, this has the potential to be a very good deal for us. If it turns out to be a flat $42 million a year, that woukld only be 22,2% of the...

The CBAFAQ-site still has the old CBA so what I am saying goes by this one. I have not heard about any changes to the R&E-process in the current CBA, but there might be something I have missed. According to CBAFAQ, a four or five year deal can be renegotiated 3 years after it was signed. It...

That is true. We would have to trade JC or someone else to create that space. We could still do a $34/$20 renegotiation, making him cheaper and more tradeable for next season.

It seems like the only move left this off season is to R&E Lauri Markkanen. After this we would still have cap room and instead of using this to sign players we really don`t want, I have this real stupid idea of renegotiating John Collins. John Collins is due to make $26,58 million for the...

Absolutely! As a Norwegian Lauri is definitely easy to cheer for. If he is up for a tear down this year with him being the only good vet,I would love that.

Do you remember how fun it was when Donovan broke through on his rookie season? How fun it was to root for a contending team built on two guys we discovered? If we cash in now and have a bit of luck, we could be watching a bunch of kiss that we drafted turn into the long time foundation of the...

Trading Lauri to the Warriors for a player or two and picks sounds pretty damn good if trading him is the way we want to go. The ideal situation would be to pick up a good player from the Warriors, an OK pick in 2026 and trade a couple of their own picks back for Lauri in 2027, when we should be...

... Yes? You are stating the exact reasons for it being a good idea for us to trade Lauri to the Warriors for their future picks. If they want to try to compete for another couple of years, it will cost them a rebuild.

Huh? For us it makes all the sense in the world because the reasons you just stated.

He is at least big.

Bridges has two years left, Markkanen has one. A year absolutely makes a difference, but not that much. This picks coming back in a possible Markkanen trade will with 97% certainty be far from as valuable as our own picks the next two years without him on the team will be. The picks the Nets...

Thank you.

Being Norwegian makes it pretty hard to watch enough basketball to form my own opinion on most players. I watch maybe 20 Jazz-games a season on League Pass, and absolutely no NCAA or European ball. I do listen pretty religiously to the Dunc`d on podcasts as those guys appeal to my nerdyness...
