[Jack Straw]

I really don't understand how anyone thinks Dillon Brooks is worth $80 million.

I don't think so. This way they can use his salary in a trade. If he had opted out I don't think they would have had the cap space to do anything significant. Now, at least in theory, they could get Paul George. Or a package of lesser players who could still have meaningful roles given the Sixers lack of depth.

They would’ve had like $12m or something

Not even enough to sign Dillon Brooks.

The prediction of Brooks playing in China came close. Houston is about as close as it gets to Chinese fans. It’s Yao country, baby.

The same team that paid Fred VanVleet $130 million for 3 years.

How did James Harden find himself in this sticky predicament?

Harden led the league in assists and was one of only three players in the NBA to average 20 points and 10 dimes a night last season, but the market for his services is anything but red hot.

Not a bad signing for the Sixers.

 

[Terry Yake]

sixers sure love signing ex-lakers centers lol

dwight, drummond, harrell, DAJ, and now bamba

 

[Jack Straw]

Good signing for the Warriors. I think he'll fit in well with them.

Yup - I was hoping Boston would bring him in especially if they end up trading Brogdon away.

A couple of minor moves today:

- Atlanta traded Guard TyTy Wasington and Forwards Usman Garuba and Rudy Gay plus a future 2nd round pick to OKC for Point Guard Patty Mills. Atlanta saves about $4.5 million with this deal while OKC now has 35 draft picks over the next 5 years including 15 1st round picks.

- 76ers restricted free agent Forward Paul Reed Jr. signed a 3 year $23 million offer sheet with Utah. Philadelphia has until 11:59 pm Eastern to match the offer and retain his rights.

The Sixers matched Utah’s offer sheet for Reed, so he’s staying in Philly. Only the first year is guaranteed, years 2 & 3 become guaranteed if the Sixers make the 2nd round of the playoffs this coming season. I would assume that will happen but won’t be too disappointed if it doesn’t because I don’t think he’s worth it.

It seems like he won’t be hard to trade if they have to. Regardless, they’ve had trouble at backup center so I think it’s important to keep the first guy they’ve found that can do the job. And if Danny Ainge wanted him, that’s good enough for me.

He has full veto over trades for one year, and he can't be traded to Utah during that year.

If the Sixers were wanting to move him, I’d have to think it’s a situation where he would want to be moved anyways. Was never concerned about the no-trade. Is he going to veto a trade with a team where he might get a chance to start? Someone will still pay him if he contract voids.
