    Your answer is not realistic at all. No team is moving assets to clear cap space while there is a chance Detroit matches the offer. Can you imagine what a disaster that would be? You trade away assets then don't get your guy. Wow.

    Not sure disagreeing with your bad ideas makes me a contrarian. I would never spend big money on the center position, except for a few guys like Jokic Victor. Give me a guy that plays some defense and rebounds, and I'm good. I would almost always have a young guy on a cheap rookie contract in that spot. You don't need a great center in today's game.

    Asking again, which team is setting this market you keep talking about? Hartenstein is a fantastic defender, his play translates to the playoffs.

    The Pacers couldn't get Turner out of town fast enough. Now Milwaukee wants him gone. Take the hint.

    Yam Madar is a PG that played this season for Hapoel Tel Aviv. He just agreed to an NIL deal with LSU. Rumors are it's worth $5 million per. He was drafted by the Celtics in 2020 but only played one summer league game. Never played on a regular season team. He played 13 games in Euroleague this year and averaged 3 points per game. For his career of about 8 years over multiple teams, he averages 8 points per game. $5 million per is almost certainly more than any NBA team would have paid him.

    I have been banging this Duren drum for 3 years now. His playoff performance did not form my opinion of him, it confirmed it. Your Bulls comment is very odd. Free agency isn't a 1v1 comp. It's how you allocate the money over your entire roster. Picking up Duren for $42 million this year or say Peyton Watson for $27 million and Robert Williams for $15 million. So for $42 million you can sign one player who cant shoot and doesn't play very good defense. Or get two guys who both play excellent defense and one of them shoots 40% from three. That is a better way for a team to spend $42 million than putting all of their eggs in the Duren basket. Especially for a team like Chicago that really lacks talent.

    This will take some value off of 1st round picks when traded. This is going to be a cluster****.

    The Bulls probably don't go after Duren right away for fear of missing on other free agents. But if they strike out on their original targets and its July 10th, all the good free agents are gone, and Chicago has a dump truck full of cap space left. That is when they scare me. They throw a big offer at Duren and get their guy or worst case scenario, make a rival match a really overpriced contract. That is what happened with Ayton a few years ago. Indiana missed on their original targets, and they didn't give Ayton the offer sheet until July 15th I think. Phoenix matched and it was a disaster.

    He was a trade deadline move by OKC.

    Maybe his grandma has a vote.

    Barnes finished top 5 in DPOY but did not make 1st team. Kind of a joke, he deserved it.

    Looks like Fubo and DirectTV have it in Detroit. Curious to see what local stations pick it up on the west side. We're going to be out of the country the first three months of the year, so I guess it won't matter much for me. I'm the opposite of Duren. Take the regular season off and show up for the playoffs.
  17. Deleterious
    I wanted him at the deadline. But I think this is enough to pass on him now.

    If I'm Ausar, I don't engage the Pistons in extension talks until the Duren situation is settled. Ausdar was the better player in the playoffs by quite a wide margin. He has the better future IMO. If Detroit gives Duren $30million+ then why would Ausar entertain any offers below the max? Which would start the first year at just over $40 million per.

    Which mythical team is giving him $30 million per? Only 2 or 3 teams have enough cap space to do that. One of them being the Lakers and that only is true if they cut ties with LeBron completely. If he retires, sure. But if James plays basketball next year I find it hard to believer he wont be wearing purple and gold. The Hawks could in theory get there. But they have to cut ties with CJ and Kuminga to do it. So I rate that as unlikely. That leaves Chicago and Brooklyn. Nets have a center so unless they trade him, they are probably off the table. Chicago is a legit threat with over $60 million in space to play with. One thing to remember, almost nobody signs offer sheets anymore. Six players since 2019 have signed offer sheets, combined. I don't think anyone has since 2023. It is a bad way to acquire talent. The big problem is, your cap space is tied up for the 48 hours Detroit decides if they want to match or not. It actually could be longer if you agree to a deal on July 1st because you can't sign it until July 6th, then Detroit has until the 8th to decide if they match. In a class that isn't great to begin with, it will be slim pickings on July 8th if Detroit matches. The second reason nobody signs offer sheets is cost. You almost always have to overpay the free agent to entice his current team not to match. Overpaying for assets is rarely a good move.

    He says 5/$180 for Duren.

    I enjoyed S1 and am looking forward to S2. Not sure how they do a S3 without Hardy. He is pretty important to the show.
  22. Deleterious
    Part way through that video. Some of the numbers they toss out for Duren make me cringe. $35-$40 million? Ugh. I also didn't understand Sam saying you can't really offer Duren a number and tell him to go get better. Why not? Seems a bit silly to negotiate against yourself without taking the market's temperature.

    Love the Cavs strategy tonight. Can't blow a 4th quarter lead if you never have a 4th quarter lead.

    I don't disagree on the value. But did he just list Murphy's degree as a reason his value is high?
