Ian Begley is another guy who you should almost never trust. I hope he’s right though.
Nice guy, but he never broke any trade/news story.

The way today's NBA works, from a team perspective, I think even four year deals are too long. So I'd say a 5th year is definitely too much, but its good for the player if they can get it.

I get the issues with Randle, but trading him for PG seems like a huge L. Paul ain’t played over 60 games since 2019. Why would you bet on him being healthy at 33?

I remember being devastated when he left Denver to go to Detroit. How has he progressed as a player?

I am glad I am not alone in this. Not sure how to implement it but they should explore ways to address the contract the situation. They made it financially enticing for players to stay in small markets but what's the point if those players just sign the long deal and a year or two into it ask for a trade to another team?
I know we are in the player empowerment era but it's becoming way too problematic. Historically, the reason why a lot of the good teams have been good is a result of continuity in roster, coaching, FO, etc. The Nuggets only have one championship but I would contend their continuity played a factor into that. If guys aren't sticking around then you don't have a chance to build that because you trade them then end up making coaching/FO changes to start over. The turnover also makes roster management more difficult from a financial perspective.
2-3 year deals are probably more fitting for the current environment if you want players to be empowered to go where they want AND want small markets to remain competitive. Shorter deals where the original team can only offer you the most money would really make the stars think before demanding out IMO.

Jerami Grant could've signed an extension (four years-$112M) during the season but is waiting until free agency.
I figured because there was a wink-wink deal between both sides that a contract was already agreed upon. Maybe a five year contract that is less than $150M, but has partial guarantees to protect both sides.

Jeremi Grant seems like a Pop guy. Wonder if the Spurs are going to overpay for one of these wings (Kuz, Grant, etc.) to put around Wemby.

I’d take super cool Kuz on the Spurs. I mean originally him and Clarkson was supposed to be traded for Klaw

No matter. People just need aomething to talk (see: whine) about.
Dudes be thirsty to break an unsubstantiated story that they probably just built off an exchange that happened at Paul George’s podcast and a few fans tweets afterward.
I really don’t belive anything of what these dudes say until it happens. Double in the off-season when they’re really desperate for a story with traction.

But if Lillard is on the way out...
Wemby is playing the 4, but outside of Brook Lopez are there any decent Cs on the FA market this summer?

Jerami never even been an all-star, and he couldn’t do it on the Pistons.

I don’t know what the deal would look like but I’m not against letting go of Hunter, Collins or Capela. We know what our ceiling is with them, time for a shake up.

portland might have a handshake type deal in place for grant
also, they kind of have to pay him to please dame after they draft @ 3

Until I see Lillard say he wants out, I won't believe it.
Free agent centers are trash this summer besides Lopez and Poetl (don't think Masai sent out a first to not re-sign him). Think they'll bring back Collins as a stop-gap but they probably need another center anyways.
