2024 NBA Free Agency Thread

Locke floating the potential of trading for Kawhi... in the "big game hunting" version of the 2024 Jazz summer universe.

I think he is doing this to illustrate the futility of those advocating for the “win now” strategy.

 

[silesian]

Yeah, you’re just missing the entire point. It’s the fact that Kawhi is likely one of the least attainable stars at the moment for a multitude of reasons.

I think you are underestimating the chance that the clippers go into a rebuild

They will 100% not go into a rebuild since they don't control their own 1st rd picks for the next 5 years.

The Nets don't own any of their own 1sts until 2028 and they went into a full rebuild.

Even if there's no advantage to tanking, if you have no chance at contending you might as well get some value from your stars. Then again, it is the Clippers who just let Paul George walk away for nothing, so who knows.

If they suck what choice do they have?

The Jazz were in a pretty poor asset position before selling Rudy and Don

They actually traded for their picks back

Reed was pretty disparaging about actually playing in Utah from memory

Yeah I think there was a quote from him after Sixers matched.
He signed on the dots though.

 

[homeytennis]

I noticed Tony Bradley, Romeo Langford and RJ Hampton are on the Sixers Summer League roster.

Bronny has one more guaranteed year than LeBron, would be kind of weird if he doesn't pan at all (as is expected) and he's floating around the franchise another year

Bronny getting almost as much as the 30th pick. What a joke. Players will hate him in the league. Way to go, Dad.

 

[Miggs]

he was only able to get him the minimum salary - not impressed

That’s the minimum for the 55th pick?
