Also, I think PJW is like... very very getable.

Bridges getting the QO is insane. Even if no one bids for him, they have every intention of giving him a job.

Miller now has the 3 locked down, so won't see very much Bridges/ PJW.
And you can't really utilize PJW as a small-ball 5 with a huge amount of capital invested in Williams, Richards and Jones.
And and do they let DSJ and Oubre walk as UFA?

Bruce Brown is better than Max Strus, so if that's setting the market.... I'm in. 3/50, let's go.

Strus was absolute garbage most of the regular season as was Gabe Vincent they are literally 3-6mil per season players. Vincent got hot for a couple playoff series but finding undersized shooters with no playmaking ability is easy and there is plenty in the G League or Europe.

Scary, but I'm not saying no. If we're hellbent on one major spend, this is the dude to try and go get. Not screw around with Grant and Kuzma.

My question is, what's with his injuries?

Are these degenerative body issues or issues that are just popping up randomly?

If the guy has degenerative issues that's probably a huge problem, similar to Kawhi, but I don't know enough.

I agree that if healthy I would love to have Middleton on the team but the injuries scare the **** out of me.

Kris Middleton from 2-3 years ago, absolutely. But, he's going to be turning 32 before next season and just came off a injury plagued season. Sorry, but he is on the wrong side of 30 for me.

If the Kings are going to spend big (Middleton will probably cost $35+mil, since he opted out of his $40+mil option) , they need to get someone in the same or close to timeline as Fox and Ox.

This depth chart also doesn’t include James Nnaji, the 4th/5th center the Hornets have drafted in the last three years. PJW absolutely should not be playing center for them as they need to be getting rid of one or two centers as is.

I don't think his age is an issue, the injuries and the fact that he's never really been like a real, real star on his own are the issues. I wonder if the Kings could work out a sign and trade type thing with the Bucks? We know Monte has their number lol.

Rockets apparently gonna sign alllllll the free agents to what I’m sure will be totally reasonable contracts and are absolutely not being taken advantage of by agents and used as leverage in discussions with teams that actually matter.

I honestly could not think of a worse person to plop on that roster. Which is why I hope it happens!

It honestly feels like the Rockets’ only plan for free agency was getting Harden to come back and now that that doesn’t seem to be happening, they’re panicking and throwing money at everything that moves.

I also think the Mavs being forced to S&T Kyrie for Ayton would be equally funny on both sides. Turning Beal into a $50mil spot-up shooter is hillarious

Plus the Mavs would have just spent their highest draft pick since Luka on a big man prospect only to completely banish him to the end of the bench for the next four years as Ayton takes up most of the center minutes every night.

I actually like the FVV idea. Overpay, absolutely, but that team needs a real floor general. I think he helps all their young guys get a lot better and takes playmaking responsibility off their plate.

Also love the idea that everyone involved seems to have forgotten how poorly the last KD/Kyrie super team went and have decided that they want to give It another go.
