The scariest part is that they both have way more flexibility that they haven’t even used yet. OKC hasn’t traded any of their 5 billion first round picks yet, plus they have like 20 mil left over after the Hartenstein signing, plus they have the Kenrich contract and bird rights for whoever the hell could possibly want Gordon Hayward. Philly can move Paul Reed which would leave them with like 20 million in cap space outright, plus they can sign and trade Hield and Melton. And they have a first almost every year moving forward. And none of those moves would take either team above the second apron.
correct me if im wrong, but arent the 76ers in the first apron now, meaning they cant do sign and trades (referring to the hield and melton situation you brought up)?
@@Equilyzr they aren’t even at the salary cap yet. They’re still 20 million under. They could sign and trade Hield and Melton right now and none of that apron stuff would matter. And either way, the sign and trade rules are only a second apron thing
@@bedstuy4_l895 yeah 76ers fans must be happy rn considering their situation. im afraid embiid or pg (or both) will either underperform or be injured by april though
Can confirm as a rockets fan that we were gutted when we cut him, he played so well in limited minutes for us but we cut him to commit to small ball before the bubble… such a mistake
This is why everyone criticizing the Topic pick was so stupid to me. Presti obviously knew he was gonna be able to get a big body outside of the draft but people still wanted to act like they knew better than him
Exactly, OKC are in a win now situation and you’re gambling way more on a rookie big in a shit draft. Instead he went and got a premium center for money they could spend. This is the perfect off season for OKC so far
@@KBilliez really feels like Dereck Lively warped everyone’s brains into thinking it’s easy to get a big man in the late lottery that can contribute in their first year. He just happened to be the perfect guy to fall into the perfect situation, typically rookie big men struggle a lot their first year
DJJ switched agents last minute. Apparently its suppose to be a 15 day grace period. But idk how tf the clips made the signing so quick. Confusing af tbh, but shoutout to DJJ and welcome Naji
Breaking: Klay Thompson signed a 3-year 50 millions dollar deal with the mavs!!!! This is what the mavs lineup will be next year: Luka Kyrie Klay P. J. Gafford/Lively
bro this free agency has been fucking nuts i havent been this excited for a season to start in a long time. sadly we still got a long time to wait tho :,(
As much as I’m gonna miss DJJ I think Naji is gonna be a better fit for what Dallas wants seeing as DJJ couldn’t hit a three to save his life in the finals
Amazing pick-up but stole?... bro they paied 29 Mil a year a center that was a back-up before december... he Is good and the right player but 29 m Is overpaied
@@leonardo_mrll You right, stole in the sense I loved his energy on this Knicks team. It’s good money and he’s an awesome fit on the Thunder, but stole was an emotional overstatement lol
@@ryandavis2504 dw he Is still an Amazing pick-up for okc regardless of the price, i just found funny how the first reaction for a guy getting paied 29M a year was that it was a steal lol edit: MAN MY MAVS SIGNED KLAY FOR LESS THAN 18M A YEAR THATS A STEAL (yes i am delusional)
I'm sorry but this PG contract is giving me Tobias Harris vibes. I know PG is way better than Tobias but idk 2 years from now after a couple more 2nd round exits and maybe we're looking at this different. I'ma cynical Sixers fan tho 🤷🏾♂️
@@eyesodemonsensei yeah i agree def good to move on. I also see that the pick the thunder own from the clippers is one kawih injury away from being possibly the 1st overall pick
@@jacobarnold1263 i understand the view but for now we're still a good team with one of the best coaches in the league. if it comes down to it in a year or 2 and we decide the rebuild without our own picks then thats a bullet we have to bite. not signing pg to that 4 year deal gets us 2 max spots when kawhis deal is over and being in LA ur always a good destination for free agents
