NBA Info - July 2025

I cant believe Capela is still "only" 31, he's one of those guys that feels like he has been around forever and should be alot older than that by now. 

[Deleterious]

Their C situation is so bad that he might play 25 minutes a night.

 I don’t pretend to understand the NBA’s ridiculously complex financial system.  Seeing  a lot of veterans sign $6 - $10M per year when it seemed like just a few years back everyone who could breathe got at least $10M 

The new CBA started last summer.  It absolutely crushes teams that overspend.  Teams are adjusting.  Smaller contracts.   1st round picks are going to be more valued because you will have to find cheap talent that can contribute.

Not sure Porzingis can stay healthy.   If he does, Atlanta has had a very nice offseason.

Shorter amount of years.  But almost identical money that LeVert got.  But like you said, FA's don't want to come to Detroit.  We would probably have to overpay by a few million.  

[Deleterious]

Nice move by Orlando.  They really didn't have a functional PG.  Another guy Detroit should have been in on.

jones to orlando for $7m would have been a nice deal.

The Cavs declined their option on Emoni Bates. He is now an unrestricted free agent. 

Not sure anyone will pick him up.

Good thing OKC is a low cost of living area with that $71 million a year paycheck.  

That team is about to get expensive.  Jalen Williams and Chet are both up for rookie extensions this summer, too.  

[buddha]

trade em now.

[Deleterious]

Probably not this summer since the Williams and Chet extensions wont start until the 2026-27 season.  But after that I wouldn't be shocked if Chet is moved.  

The days of 3 guys eating up all of your cap are over.  

[Deleterious]

He will only be 31 when that expires, 30 if the last year is a player option.  Not sure the cap is going up enough, but someone a bit younger will hit the $100 million a year mark soon.  Maybe Cade or someone in that range.

[Deleterious]

WTF

 

[Deleterious]

Last month we discussed bad drafting and how much it hurts a team.  Don't get me wrong, it does.  But nothing compares to a stupid GM making stupid deals.  I think Milwaukee is about to find out just how much it hurts.
