I think the penalty is not getting a share of the tax payout, Yay. Unless there's some other downside they'd probably be better off keeping it low and striking later if they can't find a big name.

I agree but not much point arguing about what could have been.

The Nets were a sub 500. after the trade and got pummeled by the 76ers with Embid missing games in the playoffs......giving 25+ mil to a guy who is not a star player is not a great move imo. Are Mikel Bridges/Cam Johnson good enough to be #2/#3 options ASSUMING they can land a #1 option without giving either up?

I think the penalty is you have to give the difference to the players on your team.

That was the old CBA

Yeah, just don't create a scenario of too many bodies, not enough minutes. He got out of the PG conundrum pretty well, but not getting out of Holmes early was a mistake. If he could have anyway. He very well could have tried and didn't find any takers post Domas trade. Who knows. When you're scrapping to the top it's very easy to get stuck. Plenty of teams the last few years have been the jump team and ended up stagnating then being forced to over correct before it was too late. Don't wanna be that team. My big concern is this pretty much puts all the eggs in the Keegan/Monk carrying that 3rd star load, or Sasha coming over and being what he looked like over there. Both are possible. If not the Fox/Domas staggering continues until the playoffs when Fox has to disintegrate again just to keep the Kings in it.

Yeah, but that's at the end of the season right? I have no idea with the new CBA stuff but I think that was it. If you aren't up to 90% at the start you lose the payout for the year. If they are looking to make a superstar trade then at least keeping some of that space is wise.

I mean whatever the penalty they have room and Van Vleet is a great leadership model in the locker room. The just need their ton of talent to develop.

Valuable pickup. Got a pretty good shooting touch and he's tall.

Serious injury recently and looked horrible last year well done to his agent.

Yea right.
I understand his defense isn't even really good so what exactly is he providing?

He can theoretically guard 2/3s! Which is apparently the only important thing.

Trolling ability/junking it up you need a guy like that in most teams unless you are really elite.

I agree but I'd rather have someone that's also good at basketball and I don't know if he is

Well it would be nice if they could guard and shoot but those players have all already signed and not with us.

Oh ok.
I thought I recalled a poster saying his advanced stats were like right around average if not slightly above average for defense

We are not asking him to start and be a key player, we would ask him to come in provide energy he would be Metu essentially as a SG/SF but a way better player imo

But why is he a 4/3 through and through? He’s a more athletic version of Klay Thompson. Seems like he could handle himself at SG considering Klay was perceived as a top SG defender at some point in his career.
