Instantly just thought of this

I feel like the Supermax eligibility should be a lot more restrictive than it is now. Too many small teams are put in tough situations because of it. It also doesn't help the middle-class players when players like Beal, Wall, and Russ take up a large amount of the cap.

I think the Supermax is hurting the teams and players more than helping them.

It was supposed to give an advantage to smaller teams to retain players. But you see Dame and Beal hinting at getting traded not even two years into the deal.

I'm disappointed nothing's changed in that regard with the new CBA.

Super max players should only be traded for other super max players. That way they can’t sign and then demand out a year later

It’s all @RustyShackleford hate watching lol

At first I didn’t get why Rusty hated Poole so much…

But now I get it.

It’s the Poole Cult. They’re unbearable.

 

[WASHED KING]

Curry and Poole cults are one in the same.

Dame or Officer Jim?

Harden makes Maxey better. I love his fit with this current squad, especially with Embiid.

Theoretically speaking, Dame will make Maxey redundant and will have to change up the back court.

Also, Harden reinvented his game to be effective for the next few years. Can Dame do that if he looses his athleticism? Small guards tend to fall off HARD pretty quickly if they lose a step.

With that said, what will be Harden's price moving forward?

Is Portland in the Play-in?

I was dead wrong and highly surprised to see nothing was done about this with the new CBA. I guess it is moot because the new agreement is through 2028-2029 (if both sides opt out) or 2029-2030 when it runs out.

Probably the only "downside" of the Super Team/Player Empowerment era. At least when Bron moved he was doing it during free agency which to me is more palatable than some of these premature trade requests.

Miami has made best offensive player in the league Ice Tray look like Jacque Vaughn when they’ve played. Don’t really see why tonight would be any different.

 

[rolaholic]

Monica giving them hot takes and getting clicks
She is learning from mad dog with these lists

 

[Blue Mamba]

Miami Heat fans have been in witness protection for a while now. Like COWARDS.

Infatuated with talking about MVP races and Klutch sports more than their actual team.

They don’t even mention their squad anymore.

They had a very rocky regular season plagued by injuries and made no moves in the prior offseason. Not much to talk about. Also Kyle Lowry is completely washed

Danny wins exec of the year off this alone

 

[lovehateself]

Exactly. Twitter is

Everything is for reactions/likes. Disingenuous AF.

 

[Blue Mamba]

Not sure why people are surprised at Poole. The videos of him playing really well only when baddies are sitting courtside went viral

 

[lovehateself]

Danny wins exec of the year off this alone

Danny did that and then got his lunch taken by Robbery Pelinka

 

[elpablo21]

Damn she doens't think the MVP is penciled in to show up

 

[Mister Meaner]

I see nothing wrong with my queen’s list.

Without even watching, I knew the context in which she was presenting her case.

She’s no dummy by any stretch of the imagination.

She speaks; you listen.
