As free agency approaches, all signs pointing to Zion Williamson signing a Max extension with the New Orleans Pelicans.

They already did that for a full year. How does sitting John Wall for another year benefit Houston?
I just don't buy it---you want a buyout to go play somewhere? ok, here is 50% of your contract. Not save me 6 million.
and regarding making a fuss for not playing him--that's another ridiculous thing the NBA has going for it. We went months at the end of the season not playing Temple--could he send his agent to make some noise? What about Graham--his minutes got cut as well--maybe he'll make a fuss. You can't force someone to play a player that's out of your rotation. It didn't make sense with AD and it doesn't make sense now. NBA is just digging the hole deeper and deeper.

Same. You don't like it fine, sit on the bench another year, frick you.

Buyouts should be a maximum of 50% back to the player.
Not 93%

Irving and the Nets discussed a two-year max extension that included incentives based on games played, as well as a four-year max that included two guaranteed years and triggers for years three and four based on the games played in years one and two.
Irving showed a willingness to accept an incentive based deal before countering with a short-term contract extension that protected both sides with a player option. The Nets declined to accept that offer and Irving exercised his opt-in for 22-23 at $36.5 million.

Damn. The Nets are truly sick of his shite. I am kinda surprised.

That would be awesome. Nobody would ever be bought out again. But I'd be cool with that..

#Sources — Charlotte Hornets have made Gordon Hayward, Terry Rozier, & Kelly Oubre Jr. available for trade. #NBA
I bet they have

They combine for around 63M.
Westbrook, Tucker and Nunn are around 63M.
I think the Lakers would do that deal pretty quick. Hornets clear the deck for next offseason, plus get a potential young piece in Tucker..

I mean, they could've done that, but they'd rather have the 6.5 mil back.
It's shitty, but that's a consequence of having guaranteed contracts. I don't think it was Wall holding out, or not wanting to play, I think the team didn't want him taking minutes from other younger players.
The only time that I was really pissed was when the NBA supposedly forced us to play AD. The NBA should not be the one making decisions for a franchise in that situation. At worst, they should've possibly fined the Pels if they held out AD in nationally televised games (I think they've either done that or threatened to do that when teams "rest" healthy players). But, otherwise frick them, they should have no say concerning that. Realistically the Pels should've fined/suspended AD throughout that whole ordeal.

A 2 or 3 for 1 deal for Oubre or Rozier might be interesting to make room for Liddell and upgrade the Graham, Temple, Kira, Hayes (contract situation) roster spots.
We might not target Charlotte as a team to trade with, but there seems to be plenty of these mid tier type attainable players that we can target to create roster spots, improve our rotation, and not blow excess draft capital at the same time.

Terry and Oubre are solid arse players. Would love to have them off the bench.

I think you underestimate their short-sightedness.

They can take on future salary or they can send back picks.
No one is taking back Westbrick for nothing.
