2021 nba offseason draft free agency etc

Bouknight throwing some passes I didn’t realize he had in the bag

Sixers fans are on social media asking why Ben Simmons isn't playing in Summer League, in case you're wondering whether Morey needs to trade Simmons before the start of the season.

from crumb bum to sum bum

luka signed his max deal but got the player option

oh wow

Sengun looked really good in the first summer league game, way way better on defense than I though he was

schroder to the cletics for cheap. honestly a great deal for them

Yeah you can have him

one of the few players i just dont like but at least it's a cheap 1yr deal

If you don’t ask too much of him he’s a good energy guy

can't say the history of comic sans nba announcements is ringed with glory

i dont think thats comic sans. still bad tho

should have used impact

he really messed up not signing that contract. https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/s/schrode01.html

those shooting percentages from 2019-2020 arent coming back and he didnt cash in on the outlier. shame.

if he can just be a good soldier and do 6th man stuff for a year this is fine.

hes your starting pg tho, no?

i mean, *mine*? no he would not be.

whats the ideal starting 5 in boston?

the first thing i would be trying to figure out is if al and rob can play together

I wonder if Schroeder would have gotten more money if he wasn’t antivax

prob had more to do w/ him being anti making shots in the playoffs

I think Pritchard is pretty much definitely going to be better than Dennis this season but it’s still a nice fit

seems like a good deal for boston... the lakers offered him $20m a year, they're prob getting him under value, league prob overreacting to the final few games of the suns series. i feel like he's pretty good bet to have a decent to good season and sign a 3/30 deal or something next summer

Schroeder is a player who makes other players depressed but on a good team that’s less of a problem

I know Sengun is an experienced professional and this is summer league but it really looks like the rockets got a steal here

i h8 schroeder but this is a great deal for the celtics

whats the ideal starting 5 in boston?

smart
richardson
brown
tatum
horf

arguments could be made for rob or schroeder too, i like the big backcourt tho and i think they need horfs playmaking but horf/rob could be a kind of two starters scenario where they play similar minutes

i think the celtics have done enough that i feel comfortable saying they’ll be a top 6 seed in the east this season

but maybe i’m still deluding myself into thinking that josh richardson had value

has*

celtics basically punted this offseason for flexibility next year yet somehow managed to get some decent players

feel like this should be a good situation for richardson, he wont be asked to do too much

celtics could surprise via good defense and continued development of their stars but injuries aside yeah there are a number of teams in the east its hard to imagine them surpassing

very much a prove it year for j rich

Didn't watch any Duke last year but this Jalen Johnson pick for the Hawks is looking mighty good in the summer league

celtics could make it back to 50 wins with this team, playoffs they're still the same though

i think jalen johnson played like a dozen games before stepping away bcuz of covid and entering the draft. ppl seemed to think he was a bit of a tweener but also that he dropped too far in the draft. he was a 5 star kid

they also got a tiny pg from Auburn who has been fun so far but i think they might have just got him to make trae feel big

lol

at this point it's hard to imagine any team aside from the nets and bucks being in the east finals so it's hard to judge what success is for the other teams. i guess a. getting to the second round and b. being competitive

i guess there's a scenario where the nets are banged up and end up seeded against the bucks in the second round again, the rest of the east has a very strong incentive to try and make that happen

im pretty stoked for udoka era celtics, i like his vibe + just a change will be nice

and the prospect of adding brad beal next year is interesting

or maybe this year who knows

is that actually who the celtics want or just a best player available route

theres a feeling that there may be some collusion between him and his mentee/childhood friend jayson tatum to make it happen

dont think it would be a perfect fit but nevertheless adding an allstar/scoring champ is generally a good thing

thought tatum and KD paired nicely in the olympics. celtics should look into it.

getting kd would be cool

ok

Udonis Haslem will return to the Miami Heat on a one-year, $2.6M deal for his 19th NBA season with the franchise, source tells @TheAthletic @Stadium.
