One Of The Last Real Ones To Do It

Glad we worked him out and the interest is real. Not happy that two teams ahead of us got to see him up close too though.
Simmons just said on his podcast that people around the league are kind of worried about us and all the Kentucky stars. They think we’re setting ourselves up to be a Kentucky pipeline and that it’s smart because it’s the only real pipeline the league has and all those players know and love each other...
This is what we need . The modern nba is like a lot of jobs with its about networking and who you know
The problem with Horford is his contract ends in 2023 and it limits us for the next free agent class in 2021, where Randle contracts ends. I rather hold on to Randle because he’s only with us for next season. We can always dump him for a better deal by the trade deadline for a better player than Horford.
We still don’t know how COVID will affect the cap.

Starting to sound like this is the perfect offseason to apply pressure on RFA signings...
NBA Salary Cap To Drop Between $3 Million And $12 Million For 2020-21 Season
Add in the shortened offseason and I think teams will have to make faster decisions. Ingram and Beasley, help a team get under the cap with what’s left. If the teams match Ingram and Beasley; eat more bad contracts or look for guys that have held out because they’re getting low-balled.
Before adding horford, we’d have 70 something million in space next off season. With him we’d have about 40 plus.

Morey taking over the 76ers mean they will be on some bullshyt one way or the other.

gettin al hortford is a terrible idea
same goes for westbrook
they handicap us long term
its chris paul and his 2 years ( that can easily trade in da last year need be) or nothing

I’m waiting on the new cap to come into effect to see what it will be. Someone posted it can be down by 12 million from the 70 in free cap space.
I don’t want us to spend before we have a good idea where we’ll be. Philly, Golden State and any other team with bad contracts can have those problems.
It’s not Horford. It’s the assets. It’s moving up to 5 and 21 plus an additional first we can use to trade him or trade for someone else.
I’d rather have Horford plus assets who’s going to be good on the locker room and won’t affect the win total too much even if it’s for an extra year than 2 years of Chris Paul that i have to give assets up for and could potentially play us out of a top 5 pick.

Reading my mind fam! Our offseason decisions could be changed by where they set the cap. If teams are only shaving a few million off the top, a CP3 trade where we give up assets makes sense. If the cap gets cut on the high end then we could be in a position to say "we'll take him off your hands for nothing and we're the ones doing YOU the favor."
...also I really wanna try to force Darius Bazley into any OKC scenario though I know it's not happening.
The NBA can also bring back the amnesty clause to help teams during COVID if fans can’t attend the games next season. They can either pay to drop the players and not have it impact the cap and pay a penalty for going over, or trade to a team that can take on the contract for assets.
Ticket and concession prices will impact the bottom half of the teams more than it will the Knicks.

this is a losers mentality
if this is the route you wanna go, might as well run it back wit the same team as last year and just give da young guys more burn. that will result in some type of top ten pick.
no reason to bring al hortford over here for "leadership" that doesnt result in some type of success lol
we had that already with deandre jordan. eventually the players will tune out. what assets you think philly givin us for al fukkin hortford anyway?
i hope you understand that trade proposal is completely made up and not something thats actually on the table lol
