2022 NBA Draft Thread: We Going to Have a Pick! (lmao jk)

[NUMBERICA]

See what these picks go for this year -- Philly at #23 and Miami at #27. Obviously the Jazz buying #27 from Denver for $3M is ancient history by now, but I think late 1sts will go for around $6M or $7M.

There are caps set on the amount a team can spend in a trade. It was $3 million for a long time.

Also, the Jazz spent $3 million and traded a second-rounder attached to it in a really bad draft eight years ago.

Woj thinks Mathurin goes 5 to Detroit. I don’t see it in him but a lot of others do.

If Sacramento drafts at #4, it sounds like they're taking Murray (even though they should probably just take Ivey). That would mean Ivey could drop to #6.

Didn't OKC pay $0 in real money for Favors because they were under the floor?

You can't buy a FRP with cash, no one will do it, you can only do it by taking on salary.

10M this year doe.

Yes, they sold the Jazz their cap space.

PHI has got to find a way to get off Thybulle, Kormaz, and probably Niang or find a Harris taker if they want Tucker.

Depends on what Harden does. May opt out and take less this year and get a longer deal.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

That was Dallas matching salary on Wood. Not the same as buying a pick with cash or cap space. It was also a **** deal for Houston, imo.

Aren’t we essentially saying taking green dead salary and swapping him with a real player in Royce should get 23?

Anyway, sign me up for Green and #23 or Thybulle for Royce.

I don't think the Sixers want a real player in Royce. I think they want to clear salary to get under the tax apron and sign Tucker to a full mid-level in free agency. I think the Sixers want to trade Thybulle into a TPE or take back a non-guaranteed deal like Juancho. They might want a future pick too though.

Non-guaranteed contracts become guaranteed if you trade them.

Doesn't it depend upon their guarantee date?

I think they like Mathurin if Ivey is off the board.

Didn't we pay for the Rudy pick
