We're on vacation. But I had to pop in to comment on this It makes me smile knowing those awful Laker fans now have to deal with a Kushner as their owner.

Really shocked to see Zion on this list.

Act shocked

This was done to bring in KCP and stay under the 1st apron. They used the MLE this summer so that hard caps them at the first apron.

I used to think that before seeing how inept he was in the playoffs on offense. At some point you need to take responsibility for yourself and get a jump shot, learn to attack the space when guys lay off and don't guard you. Especially if you are going to ask for $30 million a year.

If they pay $30 millipn per year to have Ausar Thompson's defender stand in the paint the entire playoffs. Well, they deserve what they get at that point.

You also said someone would give Duren a huge contract. The cap went up 6.5% from the time Daniels signed an extension until now. Going up to an AAV of $22 million is a 10% bump. Daniels finsihed 2nd in DPOY in his third year. Thompson only finished 3rd. Daniels was his equal on defense but better on offense. That is why Thompson should be paid less.

Ausar is no different than any other NBA player, his value depends on what he makes. They should offer 4/$80 million this summer. I said it a few weeks ago, Dyson Daniels is the comp for Ausar. Daniels signed a 4/$100 million extension after his third year, but he was a much better player than Ausar after 3 years. Daniels was 2nd in DPOY voting that year while making 1st team all defense, similar to Thompson. But his stocks were 3.7 compared to Thompson at 2.9. But where he absolutely killed Thompson was on offense. 14 PPG compared to 9.9. 4.4 assists compared to 3.1. 6.8 rebounds compared to 5.7. He also took 3 3PTA'S per game and made 34% of them, compared to 0.3 attempts per game for Thompson while only making 25%. You can't pay him more than Daniels. If you want to bump it to 4/$88 to account for the cap going up, thats fine. But if he wants anything more he needs to go show me he can do something on offense next year and we'll talk next summer when he's a restricted free agent.

Denver isn't being realistic with Watson. They offered him $14 million per year, which tells you they don't think much of him. But in a trade, they were asking for 2 firsts and 2 swaps. That isn't the draft capital that a $14 million a year guy returns. If you get a heavily protected first you are doing good.

That is what I'm talking about. Any 3 year deal has to be north of $40 million per.

The rumors I saw from Detroit were 5 years. Do we have any credible sources linking Detroit to a 3-year offer? If Detroit hasn't offered it, Duren can't sign it. If I'm Duren's agent. I'm pretty happy seeing that list Smith posted on Twitter. Quite a few poorly run teams that A) have cap space well above the rumored $32 million AAV Detroit is offering and B) need centers.
-
Nets, Bucks, and the Clippers all need a center next year. Bulls, Hawks, and Grizzlies all could use an upgrade.
