OT: The Philadelphia Seventy Sixers: Maxeymum Effort (22/23 Regular Season)

[Halladay]

It’s hard to figure out who to even spend time watching. My only real observation so far is that Jordan Hawkins’ FT form is as close to perfection as it gets. That 89% is repeatable.

He and Andre Jackson will both be rotation pieces in the league. Is Jackson ever learns to shoot he will be very good. Has all the intangibles and is a great leader. If the 76ers can buy a 2nd round pick they should look at him.

 

[Embiid]

An organization that doesn't have a 1st or 2nd rounder in any given draft is not a good org in my opinion...period. It is quite frankly poor asset management. Sixers should be ashamed of themselves. Let's see if they can buy one....

Morey firmly believes you are either a contender and use every asset or you tank and collect them. No in between.

 

[Embiid]

I am of the firm belief we are going to rue the day for not trading Embiid at his MVP peak...

 

[Flybynite]

Boston got the best player in the trade and two first round picks?

 

[Jack Straw]

I don't think the Wizards' objective was to get a good player. Or any player really, if they could have managed it.

 

[Tripod]

Yup. Wiz are awful. They at LEAST should have gotten 1 of the 1sts.

 

[Tripod]

Lakers just paid 4.35 million to go from 47 in the draft to 40....with Pacers.

inflation hit NBA draft pick prices lol

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Chris Paul for Jordan Poole is a TRADE.

Depending on the picks involved, Poole makes a ton of sense for a gutted team to try to flip later after inflating production.

 

[Chinatown88]

Didn't see that coming

Help me make sense of this, J. GS is sending Poole AND a first, at least. I don't get it.

 

[Chinatown88]

Dang Poole must have negative value across the league.

The new CBA means that many teams have to dump salary. GS did this so that they can keep Curry + Thompson + Green + Wiggins.

It's a paid dump of a huge contract.

 

[Jack Straw]

Me: "Why would the Warriors do that?"
(checks Jordan Poole's salary)
Also Me: "So that's why"

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Ah. They were expected to re-sign Green, so this is largely about Thompson in a way - is that right?

 

[JojoTheWhale]

It's both.

So basically what happened is that the new CBA added massive penalties for being over the cap by more than 17.5 MM. The actual number might be slightly different, but you get the idea. You'll see this referred to as the "second apron." Previously, the Warriors were just going to pay the penalties. Now it's prohibitive, so they had to ditch someone making huge money. Poole got a massive extension last year, so it was him.

Sank you. Hey, did you notice that I am NBA Guy now?

This is bad f***ing news, friends.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Comcast or Qatar? Hmm.

You had to figure it was coming in some form or other sooner or later.

Saudi fund owns Newcastle in the Premier league I believe... I've also read how much higher value some MLS teams have compared to even some other European teams just because there's no threat of relegation in MLS. I would think MLB/NFL/NHL/NBA being even more high profile would check-off that box immensely for foreign fund groups.
