Ohhhhhhh

I mean if healthy, you couldn't ask for a better 3rd banana next to Fox and Domas. Better than Lavine, Beal, Kuzma, Grant, Siakam, etc. All the dudes who have been brought up this summer.

Elite shooter, elite secondary creator, has handled a 25%+ USG workload with excellent efficiency. Playoff/title battle-tested #2 option. Is a good defender, but do have to wonder how much is he masked playing with Jrue/Brook/Giannis for the last 5 years?

Also, talk about the best possible mentor for Keegan. That quip last year about Keegan modeling his game after Khris... well here you go!

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.
Kuz might be finding out the numbers we've been sifting through have made it to GM's and the market might be a little light, haha. It was light anyway but still.

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.
I don't get Kyrie for the Suns but super team of super teams for sure. The Nets thing was just bizarre but make no mistake, I think there was a 16-2 stretch at one point or something crazy like that with those two. The Net trashed their super team because they didn't want to risk signing Kyrie for eternity. Apparently nobody does.

"The Lakers were amazeballs after the trade deadline and are running it back baby!!!!"


after waiving and cutting half the team to get under the tax apron
Well, it sounds like they might bringing Dlo back, lol. And overpaying Reeves. Beasley played a whopping 8 mpg in the playoffs and Bamba was in 3 games total. Now the fact that Beasley wasn't played is odd considering he is somewhat talented but paying that much for your 10th man would be pretty stupid anyway.

But they have to re-sign Rui (who is restricted so he will cost a nice chunk if a team decides to make an offer, which they should if only to tie up the Lakers), Shaq Harrison is a team option, with Beasley and Bamba out they only have 4 other players under contract to run it back with (@ 90 million for LeBron, AD, Vanderbilt and Max Christie plus Harrison if they retain him). And the only restricted FA outside of Rui is Scottie Pippen Jr. Reeves, DLo, Schroeder, Lonnie Walker among the recognizable names that expired.
