UNDERCOVER NBA SPY

Was studying basketball before you were born.

Use of the N-word or cursing will get you blocked. Grow up.

[Naismith2Silver @Naismith2S]

The N word is not acceptable in comments. You get one free pass. Next time you're gone. I'm going to leave this at the top so others know.

@SlavenGetsBig @Naismith2S Niggas is ass and contract just began.

[Naismith2Silver @Naismith2S]

This is the best thing that has happened in the Association this season. In a league with way too much thuggery being led by political stupidity these two grown men talked it out the way you're supposed to.

Funny interaction at the end of Celtics-Kings.

Chris Boucher wanted a bucket in his first game since 11/23. Made one at the buzzer to cap a blowout win and Russell Westbrook didn’t like it... at first.

Chris explained the situation, Russ understood and embraced him. All good!

The courts are all ugly and stupid and make it difficult to follow the player action. Scrap all of them.

“Adjust the courts, please. It’s just slippery. It’s dangerous.” - Luka Doncic on the special NBA Cup court the Lakers played on tonight.

When the offensive player pushes off the defenders vertical arm that is inside defenders vertical cylinder it is an offensive foul.

I've seen more than enough. The Lakers Big 2 is 77 and 15. Bron is third star now and odd man out.

If Lakers trade Reaves they are foolish. They should either trade LeBron or let his contact expire.

[Naismith2Silver @Naismith2S]

The officials should be fired for this stuff without a betting scandal ongoing. But with a betting scandal ongoing.....?

Begs a lot of questions.

Even the players themselves know this is garbage.

They are killing our game.

At this point if they don't sign and trade him to Sac or somewhere else he's likely to sign qualifying offer and fly out next summer for the Wizards, Bulls,Nets on shorter term deal that allows him to prove he is the franchise maker.

A gamble. But understandable.

Here's the deal with #Kuminga.

He believes he is a Franchise Maker. He wants to go somewhere where they will give him the keys and build the team around him so he can prove he is that.

Taking 2/48 or 3/75 and being stuck on a team that doesn't value him only to be traded

/1

[Naismith2Silver @Naismith2S]

to another team that just views him as a piece stratifies him and boxes him in during his prime. That's why he don't want those contacts with team options. He's not going to let himself get boxed in. He's going to play like he is the franchise regardless.

@Venmo has to be the worst online bank I've ever dealt with. Can't get them to let transactions go through.

"The #Desmond trade is all about the #Grizz going after #KD on a rental for one season ala #Kawhi #Raptors. They've got picks and the ability to give the #Suns cap relief, which are primary things the Suns want in order to retool.

[Naismith2Silver @Naismith2S]

ME:

The single most valuable trade asset this off-season is the #Nets cap space.

If they handle it right the #Nets will garner more value from their cap slave than any other trade asset because the #Celtics, #Suns, and others need to shed major salary to escape the tax.

"What are they going to do with #Beal?

SOURCE:
"Waive and Stretch him.

That simple.

Drops his salary on the cap to a little over $22 million but over 5 seasons.

However it gets them out of the tax and gives them a lot more options WHEN not IF they trade #KD."

[Naismith2Silver @Naismith2S]

#Celtics want to reset and they really like their chances of bottoming out in 26 for a top 3 pick. All the better if they can turn #Jaylen into another pick in 2026 as well. Reset team and reset luxury tax seasons while keeping #Tatum and resting him a season."

"If the #Celtics cannot trade #Jaylen and others like #Kristaps to acquire #Giannis they are going to move heaven and earth to move Jaylen into other teams' cap space in order to get out of the #luxurytax, and go to the #2026NBALottery.

You heard it from me first.

[Naismith2Silver @Naismith2S]

Celtics have to reset by escaping the tax for a couple seasons. It's that simple."

[Naismith2Silver @Naismith2S]

SOURCE:

The #Celtics are going to attempt to trade #Jaylen this summer to get out of the luxury tax. Of course the #Nets might be interested if the piece tag is low enough. Or another team like Detroit seems a contract and some picks to Detroit to bring in #Jaylen..

... and evaluate trades and possible free agent signings as well.

I don't know of any other possible suitors for Fred that would outbid Houston for him. They are doing him a solid and giving themselves time and options as well."

" The #FVV decision to pushback date is normal for this relationship. #Rockets love Fred and want him back. Basically have a 4 year $100 million offer in the table for him. But they are open to dealing Fred if he wants to go.

There is the possibility...

[Naismith2Silver @Naismith2S]

... his contact will likely start at around $28 million yr 1 and decrease around $2 million each successive season to yr 4 at $22 million and possibly only partially gtd or maybe n/gtd altogether with a player option.

This also gives the #Rockets to get past the draft ..
