[NBA] 2024 Free Agency mega-thread

[coolhandluke]

Guys , how the hell the two biggest contracts in the NBA are both for Boston players ….
They don’t have salary limits as the “normal” teams ….

They will be paying hefty luxury tax as shown below (~ $73M this year and ~254M next year).

Seems like he's saying signing Monk was irresponsible.

At something in the 4/100 range with their roster already having plenty of guards about to come up on contracts it would be.

I think 4/80 was fair value and we got him at a discount (though who knows what he'll cost if he opts out early with Bird rights).

The majority ownership group for the Celtics just announced that they plan to sell the team. So apparently they're just lighting money on fire on their way out the door with Tatum and White's new deals . . .

I would want that team under contract if buying.

Basically the only way to build now is through the draft, or to hit a big FA signing before your rookies take on second contracts.

Still I bet we see OKC cut some of their young talent rather than pay them. Basically only a team like the Dubs or Celtics that looks like they could have 3-4 titles in them will do what they did. Phoenix might be the example of a team on the other side of hopeless, although some people still regard them highly.

Orlando just bringing back their entire roster plus KCP despite this being the last season they’ll have cap space to use

What does it feel like agents still think that the best way to pump the value of their unsigned free agent is to link them to a possible signing with the Kings?

Great, another guard.

IF by some miracle the dude stays healthy that’s a great deal. That is a MASSIVE if.

Gimme WCJ, immediately.

And I think this is a great gamble for them. If he's healthy, he's worth twice this.

Some people on this forum in complete shambles over it!

But for real, not sure I love their off-season. KCP is very good and a great shooter, but he doesn't like super address what they were weak at last year. They're just all-in now on a Paolo/Franz playmaking duo continuing to make a leap.

I would have loved Tyus Jones here. Just get someone to handle playmaking responsibility, is strong defensively and can still stay out of the way on offense.

I guess the Wizards are keeping Kuz because absolute no one is going to offer the BI package for Kuz haha

We'll see... Talk is always cheap before the contracts are being signed. If the wiz are really ready to move him the price could change but if I'm Monte I'm in no hurry to start paying the stupid prices that most teams pay in the first few days of free agency.

We already have a wing that is lightning-fast molasses, no need for more.

Kyle Anderson is about as much of a wing as Trey Lyles is if even less so.

I don't remember but didn't we go down that lane a few years back? Maybe bridges were burned in the process? I don't think this is a loss.

Well Kyle should have no trouble keeping up with the geriatrics in the starting lineup
