What's confusing is how these GM's have jobs. They run their teams like they are playing the stock market. And poorly at that.

Atlanta’s gonna really have to unload one of their wings nowAtlanta Hawks center Clint Capela has agreed on a two-year, $46M extension, sources tell ESPN. He had two years left on his current deal and now is under contract through 2024-2025.

Yeah either that, or find a way to dump Gallo or Bogi. Obvious they're committed to Collins/Capela/Trae now long-term.

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 Capela did to the Hawks) but our defense took a big step backward. We would have made playoff with Capela instead of Holmes.

Update: Tyrese Maxey is excited about this upcoming year with the Sixers as is Rich Paul and the 76ers. Paul does not want Tyrese out of Philly. However, the Ben Simmons situation is totally separate.

They also worked out IT and Lance Stephenson. In other words, things are going great in Dallas.
So, Aldridge had a change of heart about retirement?
No, he had a change of retirement about heart.
At any rate, I hope that he was actually given a clean bill of health, and didn't just keep looking around until he found a doctor who was willing to clear him to play basketball.

Considering how bad he looked for most of last season, I'm not sure he's going to be playing much anyway.

what's the point of signing him then? are they hoping to get some production out of him in the same way they did from Blake?

And if not his talents will be much better utilized overseas. Hopefully in time being a skilled PF is a thing again in the NBA.

No one better come crying to me when he makes an all-defensive team in 2 years for like 4.5 mil a season.
Good deal for the Wolves. And while I would have liked to see him in Sacramento, it's a better situation for Vanderbilt. He would struggle to get minutes with the Kings but should be in the running to start in Minnesota.
With KAT, DLo and Edwards the Wolves need a defender at one or both forward spots.
