I think the deal is that Harden will make $228M total over all six years.

LeBron would be proud.
Ingram was only planning to play three games either way.
That is not how the Lakers should be using him. He is much better served spending a lot of time off ball like at UCLA. I don't think the Lakers understand that though with some of the stuff they've been saying.

Lavar won.

His jersey says Markkenan. So Bulls.
With what money? Harden is about to be making 40M+ a year CP3 and Melo aren't cheap. Then there are all the role players. Houston is going to be maxed out salary wise.

Secondary/hockey assists have been a thing for a few years now. The NBA stat tracker even tracks it: http://stats.nba.com/players/passing/#!?sort=SECONDARY_AST&dir=1
He's still overpaid. The salary cap exploded last year but after that might be slowing down. Based on his stats and projecting forward from there, even under the current market, he is going to be way overpaid.
Always wanted to see points created off assists. I wonder if they consider passes that lead to FT's attacking the rim on cuts and what not part of that?
I don't care if they pay him max at this point IF the year his contract ends 2 max contracts are off the books between him, Hayward and AL. Then you can start over.
Celtic Legend Lauri?

Caboclo not playing for Toronto? Does that mean he will be in the main squad for the regular season?
Its about time they let the kid play...

That seems insane for a 37 year old who hasn't actually been good in years
Lollll isn't that exactly what my post says?
I wouldn't mind him at vet min for just scoring since he obviously isn't doing shit else. Bulls must just need to spend money. He doesn't move the needled an iota. Oh Wolves..not Bulls lol
Lauri looked damned good out there, while Dunn's jumper still look broke.
Fixed, should be a decent bench piece for them as a scoring wing behind Wiggins and Butler

Damn that sucks for them, Avery Bradley could've probably solidified them a playoff spot.

Feel like Ryno has to be a lock to be moved because Harden - Melo - Ryno as your 2 / 3 / 4 sounds like a fucking trainwreck.
I think Morey is the best but honestly dont get why he wants Melo. Ariza just seems like a better fit all around for that team as it is now.

Ariza would still be the 3. Melo would be the 4 and replace Anderson. That's an immediate upgrade before you even get into the implications for recruiting LeBron next summer.
Do you forget what conference AB plays in?
He is making the playoffs.Pistons were barely out of the playoffs last year and Bradley is a clear upgrade over KCP. Not to mention AB will be balling out as it is a contract year. With how bad the East has got, Pistons are in now barring some major injuries.
I would say for the east we have these tiers:
First tier:
Cleveland
Boston
Second tier:
Toronto
Washington
Milwaukee
Third tier:
Miami
Detroit
Charlotte
Philly (if Embiid stays healthy all season)
Trash tier:
Indiana
Atlanta
New York
Brooklyn
Chicago
Orlando

Ryno is the name that has come up in the discussion. JSports was saying it's a 3 team deal that seems to involve ryno to Portland,
He's been around so long now he is actually ineligible to play under summer league rules. I feel like teams should be able to apply for an exemption to the max 3 summer league season rule. Bruno is still pretty raw even after all this time. Drafting a player who doesn't know how to play basketball and spending a roster spot on him for years is a waste. At this rate he'll be a UFA before he is a usable NBA player. Masai needs to be willing to look at his project players more objectively and not be afraid to move on.

Morey is a genius with the cap and with flipping assets. And he's very good at the analytics of basketball, maybe esp in isolating a player's value out from what their teammates are doing. But I think he values stars a bit too much over team fit. Not just with this Melo pursuit but also in landing Dwight. Or take how doctrine Moreyball heavily prioritizes 3s and layups -- but (at least a few years ago) his roster wasn't that great at threes.

Philly would be in the Second tier if Embiid is healthy all season. He took a garbo ass team to .500 ball and that team has only added Redick, Ben Simmons, and Markelle Fultz. I don't think people realize how good Embiid was when he was on the court. Our defense was one of the worst in the league with him off the court, and literally ine of the best with him on the court.

I meant it from the Clippers perspective
Detroit will probably get in, but I am not sure what their direction is if Drummond has peaked.
I know the narrative of the offseason has been lol East and there has been a very real talent drain overall, but if the Bucks stay healthy and continue to develop and if the Sixers stay relatively healthy and the Celtics close the gap somewhat with Cleveland then that looks like a more interesting and watchable playoff field than the last few years tbh. The talent moving west has all been from treadmill teams (Pacers, Bulls, Hawks) that no one is going to miss being in the playoffs and if that means there is more room for the likes of Philly then that strikes me as a net positive.

I hope Brown learns to dribble the round ball and reaches his potential. He's got a long way to go in that department.

Maybeva Ray Allan follow through as well.

If Philly couldn't have made the playoffs because a PG Pacers, Butler Bulls, and Millsap Hawks were blocking their way, they probably aren't much of a threat anyway.
