@AdamMKaufman No the divide is accurately understanding the full picture 1) JBs contract situation+oncourt ability 2) Cs roster construction + financial situation 3) CBA/financial rules 4) the actual market ie other teams roster construction & financials. Despicable reporting/media didn't help
@timrouth@SeanGrandePBP Agree it's not but being open minded to embrace nonconventional info that "used to" be considered wisdom is a sign of intelligence. Also doing it in the pursuit of becoming a more mindful & better leader is another sign of intelligence. Also see his academic & philanthropic work
@RichInFacts@AdamMKaufman Selling house only for perennial MVP candidates now. JB larger+longer salary & extension means Phi gave 2 potential lottery picks + 2 2nds useful in salary dumps bc JBs ALOT better than PG. Few (1?) teams had elite players(s) + the 1 big salary to not gut roster & still add more
@IAM_AFROMADE@RealBobManning Chill! Yes, PG will pick up last year option NEXT SUMMER, at that point it will be an EXPIRING, which is more valuable trade asset than JB contract. Also the whole 140/2 extension avoided. Also got 2 1st potential lottery & 2 2nds which are useful for forthcoming salary dumps
@tizzlepop61@NoaDalzell Brad definitely has been manipulated. Remember last year when he suddenly realized the "basketball penalties" of the 2nd apron. the CBA was perfectly constructed by the owners (including their private equity overloads) to suppress player salaries under the guise of fairness
@tizzlepop61@NoaDalzell He'll say yes, but he's just a front for the private equity overloads. He's probably been puppeted (unbeknownst to him) to a certain extent. The hometown super fan shtick was all manipulation by private equity to get the deal done with the NBA and with little fan concern
@Pittttbullll@greenenvypod Over ten years tho? Anyway everyone wants to think of athletes as having killer mentality, win at all costs, etc but get aggressively disparaging when that same confidence threatens their other VERY WEIRD shut up and dribble mentality...
@AList06810@greenenvypod Private equity. Chisholm is a plant - 'lifelong' fab buys the team, oh but wait has to "raise money" so its an ownership group & private equity is an undisclosed % of it. Brads being mislead as well. I bet they never go into 2nd apron and certainly never pay repeater taxes again
@RichInFacts@AdamMKaufman Let's assume 8-10 is real, that's a few. And still aren't 8-10 teams with the right situation, as described in prior tweet. Therefore, true. The market and trade value doesn't fully represent the league wide view or actual on court value
@GlacierBoiii@NIKNBAYT They misread his value on the market given his salary, extension, and the CBA rules. His value on the court is obviously much higher than PG +2 firsts, but at 70m, with no time for improvement as true #1, there's only handful teams that fit (maybe just sixers). Cs had no leverage
@NIKNBAYT@spinappl That 8m does help tho? Need to shed ~$5m(?) more by trade deadline to be under the tax and reset the repeater. Would've been ~$9m (?) w/ JB which means Hauser dumped probably with a pick attached for a team to take him
@LeBatardShow@ZaslowShow Agree, semantics
Cs: "cant give you that 140/2 extension"
Brown: "that's going to be a problem"
Cs: "tried to trade you for Giannis, didnt happen, you have a place here"
Brown: "wheres the extension?"
Many other possibilities here, including that JB just stopped communicating....
@JustaKnicksFan_@TheDunkCentral@SIChrisMannix I think the point is the asset (1st round pick) holds value since it is far enough out. It'll get passed around as "wow a first round pick!" until/if it becomes clear the sixers will be good that season
