Good Clips writer.

This is a shitpost in the form of a vet min deal.

Slop season.

This had better not end like this

 

[AndHeMissedTheNet]

at this point i'm half-expecting Yao Ming to get a training camp invite. ffs

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Neubeck confirmed it’s vet min. That’s a perfectly cromulent signing.

Reaching Fletcher and his Minnie player fetish proportions ....

 

[Schwarbomb]

Gordon will make a good rehab partner with Embiid.

Yao Ming

Houston Rockets are Daryl Morey’s Minnesota Wild

An extra year and $2M more than Drummond. I wonder if the Sixers kicked the tires on him. Better player than Drummond and he's not going to win anything with Washington.

Right but this is exactly what I was saying. Is almost half of their remaining cap, assuming they do sign George, really best spent on Andre Drummond?

Edit: looks horrible compared to Valanciunas. We got Moreyd

 

[Cody Webster]

CP3 signing with the Spurs

When you’re in the Sixers situation, 3/30 and 2/10 are entirely different worlds. You can still fit another rotation player into the RMLE with the latter.

Drummond is 2/$10m. This is 3/$30m. It's basically double his yearly salary (altho still cheaper than I thought JV would sign for. Guy made like $14m last season)

Apparently Drummond is 'signed', but won't officially sign until the Sixers are done with every other signing and probably 'over the cap' and then Drummond will slide into some of the exception money.

Just posting this to boost the vibes...

Ok, that's definitely better

Yeah but I would hope that the Sixers at least talked to him. Maybe he would have taken less to play on a team that actually had a chance to win something? He's definitely a better player.

You don’t sign with the Wizards unless you want the most money. The Lakers were even in on him.

Like I just replied to flybynite, I'm saying the Sixers should have given him that. Just inquire to see if he wants to actually have a shot at winning something.

I would guess that if he wasn’t willing to take less when the Lakers wanted him, he wasn’t willing to come here for it either. Very few players would do that.

I think if the Sixers were over the cap signing him to an MLE (which $10M a year would have fit in) could have made sense... but I'm not 100% on this, but I believe once the Sixers renounce Tobias/Batum/etc... and make enough cap-room to sign Paul George(if it happens) that means they won't be allowed to use the over the cap MLE this off-season because they ducked under the cap. Even if they go back over the cap by using Maxey's bird rights.

I think once a team ducks under the cap before the regular season starts they lose the over the cap MLE and are only able to use the 'room exception' for under the cap teams which is like $5M less than the MLE ($7M room exception vs $12M MLE)

Daryl’s trust circle is so small.

Exclusive "in" club. Sounds so familiar.
