  1. Yep. Assuming Paolo only gets the 25% max next year, he will make $41 million. 2nd apron starts at $223,372,000. Orlando will have $221,000,000 in committed salary with only 7 players signed. That's a mess.
  2. Sort of makes me think the Monk trade was never a thing. The entire reason to do a S&T with Monk was to retain the MLE. Using their TPE does that, so they never needed to move Monk. Either way, fantastic news that we are not getting Monk. Also shows how little value 2nd round picks have. They gave one up just to get a TPE that odds say they won't use.
  3. That should put them in the 2nd apron next summer. Congrats Orlando, you are on the clock and basically have 3 years to win before the breakup starts.
  4. They fire a guy because they wanted a more creative offense. Only to hire a defensive minded coach that has struggled with offense.
  5. Holland is playing. It's just summer league, so I don't really care. But can't the Pistons do anything without a nepo baby involved? It pays to have your uncle coach an NBA team.
  6. Wonder why Peterson and Boozer didn't play. Vecenie has Peterson #1, Boozer #2, and Dybantsa #3 in his first mock.
  7. My guy on camera shooting a switch. A prosecutor 30 minutes out of law school would be able to convict him. He can't even claim self-defense.
  8. Pretty much already knew that. But glad they didn't try to pretend he might make it back to sell more tickets.
  9. They probably wanted their other stuff wrapped up first. But he probably wouldn't play summer league without a contract.
  10. I realize this guy has no insider info and is just thinking out loud. But I'm burning the place down if they trade Stew for Vucevic.
  11. We all make fun of the Wizards, well, because they are the Wizards. But getting off of that Beal contract might be the best move any GM has made in the last decade.
  12. The TPE would have been nice. But I will settle for not getting Monk.
  13. Someone on Reddit made a post last week. In something like 10 years, Detroit has created 17 TPE's and only used 2 of them in that time. One was used the day it was created. So, nice to get it no matter what. But odds say we won't use it. Flexibility is nice, though.
  14. I thought they said Schroder would be a S&T even if it ends up not including Monk. Guess not. Still can change until Schroder signs.
  15. Pretty sure that trade was demanded by ownership. Believe it or not, the Pelicans were going to be in the luxury tax this year. That trade got them out of it and saved ownership over $20 million in a tax bill next season. To do that, they had to take on a few extra years of Poole compared to the CJ contract but at a lower AAV which keeps them out of the luxury tax.
  16. Not sure if I even know 7 of the players involved.
  17. No offense to Lando, great job with the win. But this was the story of the day, IMO.
  18. The league is trying a new rule in summer league. End of quarter heaves will still count on team stats, but will not count for the player taking the last second desperation shot. This is to protect a players shooting percentage. I imagine they will see how this works and implement it next season if it goes well. Here is how heaves will be defined:
