The Official NBA Season Thread: Las Vegas Summer League | USA VS South Sudan at 3 ET on Fox

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.

You and pmatic bring up a good point with the salary floor. So their outlook would be this but swap Beal's contract with Herro (through 26-27) nd Duncan Robinson (through 25-26)...I guess it could work. I would gun for at least two FRP's, though.

That deal is a no brainer if I’m Washington. Herro can already be an approximation of what Beal is, but he’s only 23, has room for growth, and makes almost half the money.

Can you imagine Herro and Kuzma on the same team?

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.

I’m sure he’s being given full autonomy and time for this rebuild. Not like this owner has a history of pulling the plug quickly anyways.

Beal to Philly?

I don’t like Beal to Miami because it has too much chance for success.

Dame too for that matter but l figured he’s more likely to get injured these days on the back 9.

hiding their phones on the bench so they could go on Neiman Marcus during timeouts

For sure - I mentioned yesterday that Herro/Duncan at a stable number is way better than Beal with consider salary increases because both those contracts could be moved in the future if necessary. I guess four years is probably how long it would take if you are going to build through the draft anyway.

Bucket hats galore

 

[Maximus Meridius]

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

How dare they ask you to be in shape and take your craft serious as a professional athlete.

 

[toneboi76]

Beal gotta be the worst player ever to have a NTC. Goofy move from the Wiz

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Herro fit right in in chocolate city.

 

[bhzmafia14]

When talking about Beal's value being lower, does this mean not giving up a core piece? Mainly picks, matching salary and a young player on a rookie deal?

If so, bring the St. Louis native to the M. Put him in a role where he doesn't have to be a top scorer and watch him thrive.

Not the ideal fit, but elite teams can be make it work. Still would favor guys like Siakam, OG, Cam, Kuz, Bridges, etc from a fit perspective first, though. Less risky move as well.

I would check in with him before visiting Miami to let him know that it’s all love and respect.

With JJJ, Ja and Bane on big deals, why would you even want that?

 

[dacomeup]

Warriors strategy of benching a guy, leaking negative stuff about him all playoffs and then wanting a top pick in a trade for him is an interesting one

Bane's extension would not kick in until 24-25 when Beal has 3 years remaining (assuming he picks up the PO).

Jaren's deal ends during Beal's final season, which you can extend Jaren. Ja locked in until 27-28 and Beal would expire in 26-27. Thankfully, we were able to lock Jaren on a hell of a deal and Ja help save the Grizz about $35m. Not saying its my favorite play, but Grizz can leverage the money especially with several other young pieces still on rookie deals.

I also would not be shocked to see Grizz use their assets to make a big trade up in the draft.

 

[DLF]

Murray has the same skillset as Jokic?

Yes

Run
Jump
Shoot
Pass

 

[Mark Antony]

You can see hints of Jokic's horse-riding in his game too. His leg and core strength are probably in the top 1% in the league. There's a reason nobody has been able to consistently back him down in the post or box him out.

I was dead before finishing the first sentence.

****, is 10 high enough. Send him out here to Dallas brah
