There’s rumors going around that the clippers already have a deal worked out to take Noel into their TPE they have from trading Ibaka.


Would make a lot of sense.

Also would be a good reason they aren’t using the taxpayer MLE on their foreign center.

If Noel fills that role as center, they can use that MLE on other depth since Paul George and Kawhi are inconsistently available.

Aren't they using the MLE on Wall?

That’s honestly crazy. I had no idea Rozier had that much left on his deal lol.

But I believe it's happening on this year's books. I read Wall would be signed as soon as he cleared waivers.

2. Remove max contract rules on money, edit length to just max of 5 years


I agree with this big time. Bene saying it for years that "max contracts" as they are currently constructed actually hurt small market teams more than they help.

If you're doing hard cap/no max, you may as well go all the way and do no draft and everyone enters as a free agent.

I'm happy with the system as is for the most part, but hard cap/no max/no draft would be fascinating to see it play out. But in the end, I think it would almost create too much parity and be less interesting

As an aside, in a hard cap no max situation what do you think the best players would be paid? 50% of the cap?

Sounds about right. If you made the hard cap around, say, $130mil, I think it's fair to think someone like Giannis would get at least $65mil.

The only things I would change with the current system
1) Have a designated franchise player you’re allowed to go to 40% of the cap for, but only 25% counts against the cap/tax, and you have to have drafted that player (in our case this would be Zion).

2) Teams share local TV revenue. The large markets have way to much of a spending advantage, like Golden State

:lol: :lol:

People need to quit regurgitating this, what does he do well? He is not a good basketball player nor does he have anywhere close to what somebody might call a "high ceiling"

Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac has agreed on a three-year, $33 million extension, his agents Jeff Schwartz and Mike Lindeman of @excelbasketball tell ESPN. The Clippers declined his $7.5M team option for 2022-2023, clearing the way for Zubac's new deal.

Good for Zubac for getting more than his option, but ummm, that wasn’t very smart by Clippers.

At least they’re taking care of their players though

I don’t think 11 mil/yr is bad for Zubac

What will it take for Luke Kennard to come here? A 45% 3 point shooter will do wonders for this team.

Would the Pistons take Jaxon Hayes and Temple for free? Would allow for a three way with Knicks for us to take Noel without them having to take on salary. Opens up roster spot for us and saves a little.

It's a steal.

I know centers are devalued and all that, but they're still worth SOMEthing.
