Another reason why Herro's contract looks good now despite him never taking a big step and not being close to making the ASG.

Cap is projected to keep going up 10% a year it seems for at least the next couple years. Vassell's deal will be a bargain based on the cap in 2 years if he keeps getting better. If this is what he is it's a fine deal. Spurs gotta pay someone right now.

The Cavs giving TT 82 over 5 was such a crap storm back in 2015… keeping in mind they were way over the cap and had to pay their own guys

Simpler times

The Draymond contract (I'm pretty sure same year?) was scoffed at pretty hard also.

I can’t argue that unfortunately

Someone at Panini should really be pitching a Jimmy Butler SSP insert (or maybe photo variation) with all his media day looks.

Lebron dedicating the season to bronny. Y’all know what happened last time he dedicated a season to someone. He’s to old though, no way he can lead a team to a title.

Nice. Hope he remains injury free and continues to step up his game. Have several of his cards been holding onto and it's nice to know the Spurs want him long term.

LeBron is no longer the top player on the team.

It's like Dr. J when the 76ers won the title with Moses Malone as the league MVP.

JohnnyHatesJazz · 10-02-2023, 11:43 PM

I think we lost Jimmy buckets.

ninjacookies · 10-03-2023, 12:29 AM

Criss Angel Butler is the preeminent league personality.

And it's not even close.

Was Moses injured half the time?

Criss Angel wishes his hair was that good.

He's had more Karen hair cuts than an entire HOA.

That's ninja. I was trying to come correct for him. If he doesn't mention your hair, do you even have any?

I have the Suns at 2 or 3. I think you're underrating how much they improved their team both with the adds and also the removal of Ayton who was a cancer, and soft.

I hope that’s the case. We’ve been waiting a couple years for AD to really step up and consistently be the player he’s capable of being. If they are relying on Lebron to carry most of the load throughout the season and playoffs the lakers are definitely not going to win.

gomiamigo · 10-03-2023, 04:14 PM

The 76ers had 4 All-Stars that season, Mo Cheeks a HoF PG in addition to Doc and Moses and Andrew 'The Boston Strangler' Toney was their 2nd leading scorer.

Moses took over from Doc but, as always, you need a whole team to win it all.

Factual.

Harden showed up at Sixer camp.... either a clown show or he's trying. Interested to see

[Amick] James Harden has "zero intentions of rejoining [the Philadelphia 76ers] in earnest." Sources also tell The Athletic Harden "remains just as incensed as before at [Daryl] Morey and is still liable to disappear on the Sixers at any moment."

I want to see Harden work with some emo bangs to compete with Jimmy

Good look at how J Brown's left has progressed since the playoffs ...
