1) Teams that use cap space also has an MLE which is the room MLE. The room MLE is about half of the full one and only up to 2 years in contract length.

I feel like Davis is gone. He has too many mental lapses to be a consistent rotation player for a playoff team; you know the fouling, missed defensive rotations and questionable shot decision. Davis played in game 6 and 7 I think more of a desperation move than a trust thing. If we can...

I am starting to like the idea of Hamidou Diallo. He has become a really good defender. He could be the lock down wing defender that we have been looking for. Kessler Edwards is good but he has limited offensive skill set. Diallo, on the other hand, is an incredible finisher in...

Or he could be Benzema. It takes time to get to the top.

Small ball center is a niche for career role players., who (like you said) want to increase their value. Murray is a role player this year but he might be more in the future. I mean if he becomes a 3-level scorer (who also has good defensive instinct), his value would pop much more.

Actually the better example is Grant Williams who subs for Horford.

Lol of course he can. He is a center. A small ball center is a forward basically in a 5-out offense. Like Kleber in Dallas' 5 out offense. Or Batum in Clippers' 5-out offense. Now you know what Givony was talking about.

It's not way off. You misinterpret the "small ball center.". Horford is not a small ball center. He is a stretch 5. A small ball center is someone like PJ Tucker or Maxi Kleber.

Like I said. Maybe the plan was to showcase him. Data don't lie https://www.nba.com/stats/team/1610612758/onoffcourt-summary/?sort=DIFF_NET_RATING&dir=1

I don't think you have all the signals you need to make an informed conclusion. https://www.nba.com/stats/team/1610612758/onoffcourt-summary/?sort=DIFF_NET_RATING&dir=1 Haliburton actually makes the team worse offensively and defensively when he was on the floor. He was not ready to start...

The money is already guaranteed before the beginning of last season.

Lol this sounds almost like Ben Simmons. Actually this is Ben Simmons. Fox is better than 70% free throw shooters.

That was one of the best offensive lineups in the entire league last year. That lineup also played 425 minutes, which is pretty big sample size. https://go.nba.com/8wie Bagley's offensive rebounding is more than makeup for any lack of floor spacing. Looks like a proven successful lineup to me.

Capela's contribution is what brought the Hawks from a bad offensive and bad defensive team in 2019-2020 to a good offensive team and mediocre defensive team in 2020-2021. Well not entirely on him but most of it. Holmes sure did help with our offense (though still not as much impactful as...

I agree with most of it. I just don’t think Walton is a bad coach. He maybe is average or below average. They really need to blast it out of the gate this year. They can surprise a lot of teams if they can push the transition offense, like the Joerger’s 18-19 team. They were the best...

As a whole, the league had an excellent offense year last year. Somehow the stars were aligned that the top 7 offense (Nets, Bucks, Trailblazers, Nuggets, Clippers, Jazz, and Suns) all performed at historic level. What is interesting and unique is the decrease of pace from previous season...

It is completely fair to assume this. But we had decent defensive centers before and we were still no more than 20th rank defense. It is debatable where the problem lies, the bad guards or the under-average center. Well it is easier to improve from the center position than the guard, at...

Well defensive rebounding was a big part of why they were the 2 worst defenders on the team. All of advanced stats point to them being the worst defenders on the team. This is DRPM from ESPN. Hali is 90th out of 91 PGs. Fox is 29th...

It can be difficult to believe because how active and long both Fox and Hali are. But you know what, they are both horrible defensive rebounders. It does not matter what you do during the defensive possessions if at the end you can't secure them. This team was 29th in defensive rebounding...

This is true except for the fact that the two worst defenders on the team are Fox and Hali, by a wide margin.
