2023 NBA Free Agency Mega Thread

ouch. A guy we could have used and us taking Duarte made it happen.

or, hear me out, this massive overpay allowed Duarte to happen.

 

[Tetsujin]

25M for a young forward with the new cap who plays defense and shoots at a good percentage.

You’ll do no the point is to win not to be the cheapest payroll in the league.

He’s not that young though. Same age as Kuzma.

I bet Monte might be done here but maybe going to do a trade at a certain point

And the crop of names available will likely be some of the names signed today! lol.

Possible but Duarte isn’t solving any of our gaps

You do win in the NBA by not putting bad money on your books.

Even in the new cap, this Cam Johnson deal is bad. He's an amazing shooter and a reasonable defender, but there's no playmaking, he doesn't rebound, he doesn't get to the line. BKN better hope his offensive game can take a leap and he can be a reliable #2 at this tag.

 

[captain bill]

2/$16 for Lyles compared to 4/$80 for Poeltl is absurd

 

[Krunker]

Dang it seems like everyone is overpaying

DFS makes $13,394,160.

Isn't that like EXACTLY what we have left? lol

And not us, for a change haha

Not happening up at the top of that list. Maybe take a flyer on someone on that list towards the bottom but a run back roster is typically your roster. There are no opportunities here.

I wouldn't mind DFS on this squad at all.

Geez, talk about overestimating some of these guys. Cam Johnson is an HB level guy at best…..different strengths but an HB level guy getting $27 mill per…..hahaha

Nice contract.

Jevon Carter
Trey Lyles
Tre Jones

Everything else has been REAL REAL dusty. Good lord.

Except 1 certain GM.

Can they, tho?

It seems to me that if Monte holds onto anything for another couple of hours, the fan base would riot.

They're both 27.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Sure will be interesting if we can squeeze in one more value signing and hang onto that TPE when teams start regretting all the big money that flew around today and need relief at the deadline with the new CBA rules in place.

that’s like two Harrison Barnes deals

and I don’t think he’s necessarily better than Barnes. I agreed fully with Dlo and KC on any Cam Johnson talk. Not that Johnson was ever seriously connected to the Kings outside of fan suggestion.

That is purely Cam Johnson being somebody new for the sake of somebody new.

They are basically the same player template. Their numbers are nearly identical. Johnson is younger but older than most would think. Yet, he’s worth $10 million more per season? Based on what?

Must be the Carl Landry fallacy. He puts up big scoring numbers in reserve minutes..so if you give him 10 more minutes he’ll be a big time scorer. They’ll regret his deal

 

[sactowndog]

They're both 27.

Barnes is not 27

 

[Tetsujin]

Barnes is not 27

Barnes also isn’t making 9 figures over the next four years
