Damn Reddick getting 23 mil at the age of 52? That's crazy.

How can h sixers not make the playoffs out in the least?
Jesus fuckin christ
It's only 1 year which is fine by me. We have to reach the4 salary floor somehow
But people on here told me that Sixers fans hated watching the team!
We could theoretically get as hurt as we were last year.

Embiid gets injured and they're a 25 win team even in the East.
Remember how the process wasnt working because we were creating a "losing culture"
We won 28 games last year without Simmons, Fultz, Reddick, and with Embiid missing more then half the games. Meanwhile, the East has absolutely cratered.

And it would still be with those non-guaranteed contracts XD
At this point we need wings that can take up minutes, plus D'Antoni offense can help him out (his highest ppg year was his rookie year under D'Antoni)

Yeah pretty much this. They can lose a bunch and still be League Pass darlings if they stay relatively healthy because their pieces all fit in theory, and they have so many mystery players and young guys that have TBD futures.

Fuck, dubs are prepared for a 3 yr deal, it's up to the kings now is my guess
Also, Morey us negotiating with a team that lacks a GM

Iggy deal is rumored to be $45 million over 3 years
Welp, even if we can't stop them for the next 2 years, they're going to hurt a decent amount when Klay and Draymond need to be re-signed

Should've worked on Chris.
It's a good thing we have Ben Simmons and Markelle Fultz on the roster...

Why did Celtics fans think they were going to be some kind of major free agent destination?

Because they're a major candidate for one of the top 3 available free agents?

No doubt, if Embiid stays healthy that team could be legendary.
And Saric. I'll probably get League Pass for the first time to watch y'all and the Wolves.

Morey still did his job. Rockets seem to be aiming for a 3-4 year window, so hurting the dubs in the 3rd year still helps

The Heat made a strong presentation to free agent Gordon Hayward on Saturday and emerged believing it went very well.
Hayward was greeted by five Heat players - Hassan Whiteside, Udonis Haslem, Josh Richardson, Tyler Johnson and free agent James Johnson. He also met with president Pat Riley, coach Erik Spoelstra, Alonzo Mourning and several other coaches and executives.
Besides telling Hayward all of the obvious positives of playing here - weather, lack of state income tax, the Heat culture and championship pedigree - coaches also explained to Hayward how the offense would play to his strengths.
The Heat plans to sit tight, and not make any significant moves, until Hayward makes a decision, which is expected a day or two after he visits Boston on Sunday and Utah on Monday.
The Heat would be left with $5.7 million in cap space if it signs Hayward to a max deal, starting at $29.7 million.
But that amount would be increase to $9.7 million if Josh McRoberts is released and his cap hits are stretched over three years - something Miami would be receptive to.
In that scenario, the Heat very likely would offer its remaining cap space to James Johnson or Dion Waiters, if both remain uncommitted at the time. The Heat could offer either a contract starting at that $9.7 million and worth close to $42 million over four years.

Can't GSW trade Iggy in two years to make space for Klay and Dray? He won't be worth much in a trade at that point so you would mainly be bidding on him now for the next two championship runs

So basically waiters is gone if Hayward signs if he wants a big pay day

Look man im trying to be optimistic. If the league had done a full boycott of the bogut trade Durant couldn't have gone to them, but maybe they will have learned by then to coordinate mass boycotts
It happened to the Celtics in the past, let's hope for a repeat

They just signed one of the biggest free agents on the market last year, they are one of 3 teams in the running for the biggest remaining free agent this year, and they were one of the few teams that Durant chose to meet with last summer.

Pretty much. The only way he could stay is if JJ does what he's probably wont and takes the mid level for 4.7M and Waiters takes the rest of the cap.
I dont want a mediocre volume shooter who isnt the best defender playing with Simmons or Fultz.
I like Dion a lot, just his fit on the Sixers is bad outside of Embiid, but you could literally put any player nect to Embiid and it would be a great fit outside of other worse centers

#FreeJah already, Jarate. Trade him to Brooklyn so that he and D'Angelo can team up to for Team2015Regrets
Im ok with this
I'd literally take a 2nd rounder to move Jah. He had the worst possibvle fit in Philly and would love to see him play elsewhere

McBobby is so brittle not even the goodwill of "Hey we put your jersey in our rafters" would get MJ to take him back. He's played 81 in the last 3 seasons.
