feel like you could play him at the 1 where he has good size pretty easily especially if you had some other creators like say the boston celtics do

he's doubled his free throw rate over the lsat four years from 4 FTA per game to 8 FTA. he was also a 90% shooter from the line this year after being in the low 80s as recently as two years ago. i think that has a lot to do w/ it, his overall shooting numbers aren't much better tho obv the volume has increased

reflecting upon it its fucked up that the raptors drafted scottie barnes forcing the magic to take jalen suggs, suggs deserves to be with a good org like the raps and barnes is the prototypical magic pick a huge athletic freak who doesnt really know how to play basketball, signals got crossed or something they should make a trade

i think he can be good but yeah you'd love to see one more year before committing to him as your guy
― ciderpress, Friday, 20 August 2021 19:42 (two years ago) link
there is definitely some protection here against him blowing up and commanding a lot more. i guess if jarrett allen can get 20 million bucks a healthy year of rob could get that. but i don't see much disaster potential unless he has a really significant injury.

Breaking on @SportsAgentBlog: Nerlens Noel has sued NBA agent Rich Paul, claiming Paul is responsible for $58 million in lost earnings.https://t.co/mW5a9SdxQI— Darren Heitner (@DarrenHeitner) August 24, 2021

Following the party, Noel parted ways with Walters and signed a Standard Player Agent Contract (SPAC) with Paul.
It seems like he has a case.

is there someone on the internet who's mapped out the nba landscape of agents and agencies? i recognize some names, but i really have no idea who represents whom, who has the most clients, highest value of contracts, etc.
― circles, Wednesday, 25 August 2021 01:32 (two years ago) link
nate duncan and danny leroux did an agent grading pod within the past couple years where they tried to take the major guys, find all their clients, and go through some of their recent deals. i remember nate saying that he couldn't find a comprehensive list and that he had to cobble a lot of it together from reading old news stories. maybe somebody has put something together since then but if so it hasn't crossed my radar.

The Bulls, Cavaliers and Trail Blazers are close on a three-team deal sending Lauri Markkanen to Cleveland, Larry Nance Jr. to Portland and Derrick Jones Jr., a first-round pick and additional draft compensation to Chicago, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium.— Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) August 27, 2021
― pure rim rest (Spottie), Friday, 27 August 2021 16:56 (two years ago) link
Jones was a bust in PDX. Maybe Nance will be a better fit.

excited to see him in a new role/team
― pure rim rest (Spottie), Friday, 27 August 2021 17:10 (two years ago) link
they had to throw away a 1st to get off a bad contract they signed tho. not good.
― pure rim rest (Spottie), Friday, 27 August 2021 17:11 (two years ago) link
i can’t make heads or tails of this deal except that the bulls getting a first for a guy they didn’t want anyway is pretty good. nance gives the blazers some beef i guess, ppl have been swearing that he’s been really good the last few years. the blazers do love trading first round picks tho jeez. i thought lauri was a great buy low candidate this summer but i don’t think the cavs really bought low and now they’re heavily invested in an overcrowded front court paying lots of money to two players who are only going to suck up minutes that should be going to the one player who could maybe turn the franchise around. gilbert/altman might be the worst owner/GM combo in the league
― J0rdan S., Friday, 27 August 2021 17:37 (two years ago) link
the blazers are certainly in fuck it mode with picks and nance does make them better. not sure why the bulls didn't just take nance themselves.
― call all destroyer, Friday, 27 August 2021 17:42 (two years ago) link
given how many firsts the bulls have lit on fire to assemble their team i think this is good for them
― J0rdan S., Friday, 27 August 2021 17:53 (two years ago) link
yeah i could see them just wanting a first back even if it's lottery protected for 7 years
― call all destroyer, Friday, 27 August 2021 17:54 (two years ago) link
i bet it conveys this year but i guess if they trade dame before next offseason that one could drag out indefinitely
― J0rdan S., Friday, 27 August 2021 18:10 (two years ago) link
the blazers are certainly in fuck it mode with picks
they have a first ballot HOFer in Lillard and zero chance to land a big name talent in the free agent market, so trading away future picks is just about their only path to short term improvement. five years from now they'll suck be known as a 'scrappy, blue collar' team.
