Jared Harper doesn’t need mentorship. He can probably mentor CP3 on how to draw fouls if anything tbh.

I don’t think you’re being serious but this is my current all time favorite take.

Looks like the Pacers didn’t put the screws to the Suns, no trade kicker, no player option, just 4 years straight guaranteed.

so the suns got a better deal from the pacers than they would have with Aytons agent LOL

what was the point of the offer sheet?

I really don’t know, their owner really doesn’t like offering restricted free agents, it was only their second RFA offer ever.

Suns got Ayton on 4 years straight, only 5% raises, no trade bonus, it’s a decent deal for them.

and immediately tradeable at the deadline if needed for likely more than they’d have gotten in a sign/trade. They’ll pay the tax this one year and try to win a ring

it’s as if the pacers did them a favor LOL

Yeah. I don’t understand why the Suns are so out on Ayton really. A trio of Booker, Ayton, and Bridges could still compete when Paul retires. Doesn’t seem like he’s interested in that though. IMO, Ayton is one of the centers worth paying in the league.

I guess OKC figures “We have no cap space, so frick it, let’s sign him using Bird rights and flip him later.”

Either Presti has had a stroke or he sees these guys as trade chits.

Say what you want about the guy, but Harden is literally putting his money where his mouth is:

quote:

"I had conversations with [team president] Daryl [Morey], and it was explained how we could get better and what the market value was for certain players. I told Daryl to improve the roster, sign who we needed to sign and give me whatever is left over," Harden told Yahoo Sports. "This is how bad I want to win. I want to compete for a championship. That's all that matters to me at this stage. I'm willing to take less to put us in position to accomplish that."


LINK
If he can stay out of the clubs and actually come into camp in shape, no reason Philly can't be in that mix next year....just wish Morey's idea of building out that roster wasn't literally trying to revive the Rockets roster but plus Embiid.

That's definitely solid if that's how it went down.

2 things left for big game James.

- Getting in shape - Supposedly, he's been taking that seriously

- Stop disappearing in the playoffs - That one, we'll just find out when we get there

Appears Harden signed a 2/$68M contract with a player option for next year.
$32M for this year.

That pretty much is whatever was left over since they were hard capped after the House and Tucker signings.

I hate Harden, but maybe Philly is what he needed. He can defer to maxey, set up Tobias or embiid, and all 4 can stay fresh going into playoffs

Normally hate him, but on this he has actual knowledge. Raja Bell said Harden’s biggest problem with late season burnout is yes, some of his game, but bigger than that is the clubbing, plain and simple.

Really said it is on another level compared to other players and that sort of progressive fatigue over the course of a season just wears your body down.

If Harden has turned over a new leaf, can get his diet, exercise under control, show up to camp in shape, not spending the first half the season playing his way into shape, brings this mindset, and stays out the clubs! I do think there is a scenario where we get MVP caliber Harden back and with Embiid, and NO CLUBBING, maybe you get a Harden in the playoffs that can go the distance.

I know the moment I see him flop for a foul my opinion will do a 180, cause I vehemently hate that part of his game, but off-season me, that really likes Embiid, is kinda rooting for them out the East, at least for the moment.
