I do wonder what is the holdup on the Williams extension. He is obviously getting the max as well. Maybe he is trying to negotiate a player option on the final year. As well as they are run, they are about to get expensive. SGA has one more year at $38 million and another at $40 million. Then his new extension kicks in, starting first year salary is $60 million with 8% annual raises. Chet and Williams will both be max. So bare minimum $250 million total starting at $41 million the first year. Both can still qualify for the super max, which would change those numbers quite a bit. More like $285 million total then, first year starting at $49 million.

OKC is such a well run organization. Won a title this year, still not even in the 1st apron. Currently, they are not in the 1st apron in the 2026-27 season. But Williams is about to sign his extension, and most likely they will be then. But winning a title and not entering the 1st apron until 2 seasons later is amazing. Pretty much the opposite of Orlando.

I mean, Portland basically tired to give him away for two years and nobody bit. I guess it helps that he is now an expiring contract.

According to Reuters, this is the most expensive Vegas summer league ever. Average ticket price for Mavs (Flagg) VS Lakers (Bronny) is $201. Lower bowl prices begin at $643 with courtside going for $2,519 and general admission, which I assume is standing room, at $83.

He had said he wasn't playing the main event. Probably wishes he didn't now. They said one outer because someone folded another Q pre-flop.

Does not seem ideal
-
Uhhh, they needed a backup PG when Ivey was healthy last year.
-
They don't have a first round pick in 2026. They just traded it away to move up and draft Queen, totally unprotected. They do not want to tank.

Made more sense for SGA to wait, and he still signed. Not saying it will happen next year. But Jokic seems like a guy destined for the Barry Sanders retirement plan.

I like the idea of adding Alvarado, but the Pelicans can't really trade him right now. Murray ruptured his Achilles at the end of January, so he is basically out all of this coming season. That leaves Alvarado and Fears as their two PG's and Fears is a rookie. Like the idea though. If you want to get crazy and start tossing around unprotected picks, I got one for you. If I'm NO I say no all day long. So not sure why I'm posting it. Also, don't know a darn thing about that Matkovic guy. Just needed him to make the salary work. Both 1st round picks would be unprotected. Another version of this deal, since I think NO would say no. Remove Harris for Detroit, and remove Jones and Matktovic for NO. Same draft picks.

That is fair

The other big change will be draft picks. Teams need to value them a lot more than they have in the past. The new CBA rules demand you find cheap talent, and draft picks are the best way to do that.

Not sure Beal can score enough to make up for how many points he will allow on defense. We are also pretty guard heavy. The only guard I would be looking to add now is a guy who can fill backup PG minutes. Herb Jones is a guy I would target. 6'8" and could back up both SF/PF positions. Offense isn't much to write home about, but he did shoot 41% from three two years ago. He is one of the best perimeter defenders in the league. 1st team all defense two years ago and finished 5th in DPOY. The 4 guys in front of him were all bigs. Him and Ausar together would be a nightmare for other teams. There are zero reasons for New Orleans to trade him. But it's Joe and Troy, give it a shot and see what happens. I would give up a heavily protected 1st to land him. Lottery protected next year and 2027. Turns into two 2nd round picks in 2028 if it didn't already convey.

He should look good in SL
-
One Herb Jones, please. Washington would be OK as well, but Dallas will want a 1st round pick in return I would guess. I suppose the Pistons could use the TPE on LeVert and keep the MLE. Not sure if that benefits them more or not.
-
That makes more sense. Asking them for a pick to cover the one we had to send out is only right. We are doing them a big favor by doing the S&T. Although, Charlotte will be bad next year and we probably wont end up getting the pick.

Should hire some lawyers to come in and simplify things.
