He's good player, all star level..but avg 68mil per year is way to much..
No disrespect to Mitchell, but he's not even top 10 player in the league, at least for now..π€·
BREAKING: Cleveland Cavaliers All-NBA star Donovan Mitchell has agreed on a four-year, $273 million maximum contract extension that includes a player option for the 2030-31 season and a full trade kicker, CAA's Co-Head of Basketball, Austin Brown, tells ESPN.
The relationship looks really already broken between Celtics and Brown.
Sixers hit the jackpot. Pairing prime Jaylen Brown with Maxey, Embiid (if healthy) and Edgcombe is such a premium upgrade compared to old PG13.
Eastern conference will be tough this season.
BLOCKBUSTER: The Boston Celtics have agreed to trade Jaylen Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers for Paul George, two first-round picks and two second-round picks, sources tell ESPN.
Just in: Free agent forward Tobias Harris has agreed to a two-year, $31 million deal with the San Antonio Spurs, sources tell ESPN. Harris exits the Pistons after helping lead a franchise turnaround and now joins a young contending team in the Western Conference.
Finally, big move from Lakers.
Definetly way better than Ayton if can stay healthy.
But give up basically 4 first-round picks (2 unprotected, 2 swap) is a huge bet by Pelinka.
BREAKING: The Los Angeles Lakers are acquiring Walker Kessler from the Utah Jazz for unprotected first-round picks in 2031 and 2033 and first-round swaps in 2028 and 2030, sources tell ESPN. Kessler will sign a massive four-year, $130 million deal with the Lakers.
@boxoutindonesia Lakers bongkar pasang roster tapi stagnan di level yg sama.
Unpopular opinion : Reaves nggak cocok jadi "robin-nya" Luka & nggak sespesial itu buat diextend dgn nilai max contract.
@boxoutindonesia Gila sih ini Pat Riley, punya plan apa coba. Bakal jadi masalah serius ini di perimeter shooting & scoring kalo nggak nemu gantinya.
Just in: Free agent Norman Powell has agreed to a two-year, $45 million deal with the Chicago Bulls, sources tell ESPN. Powell joins the Bulls as a potent scorer after an NBA All-Star season in Miami, averaging nearly 22 points over the last two years.
Just in: San Antonio Spurs forward Julian Champagnie intends to sign a new three-year, $45 million contract with the franchise through 2028-29, sources tell ESPN. The Spurs declined Champagnieβs $3 million team option to give him a new deal. Waived three years ago, Champagnie has become a vital part of the Spurs core.
Expect only around 5-6mil to extend Barnes due to his inconsistency in post all star and underperform in playoff, but 8mil just ok.
Still need his veteran presence and 3pt shooting coming from the bench, hopefully will be more consistent through the season.
#GoSpursGo#PorVida
Free agent forward Harrison Barnes intends to sign a one-year, $8 million deal to stay with the San Antonio Spurs, sources tell ESPN. The Spurs valued Barnes' leadership and production as he enters a third season in San Antonio, finalizing a new deal with agent Jeff Schwartz of Excel Sports Management on Monday night.
Just confusing about Hornets direction.
They finished 44-38, made play-in and barely missed playoff a couple months ago after many terrible seasons.
Then they kinda restart by trading 2 key players Melo and Bridges, or probably decide to rely on Miller and Kon as the core.π€
The Suns acquire a starting PF at 28 years old in Bridges -- whom they've targeted in recent years -- plus a 2029 less favorable first-rounder and a 2027 less favorable second rounder while getting $20 million in tax savings while opening up a roster spot ahead of free agency.
Charlotte picks up two playoff-tested role players and receives a valuable further out, unprotected Suns first-round pick.
BREAKING: The Charlotte Hornets are trading star guard LaMelo Ball and Josh Green to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Naz Reid, a 2033 unprotected first-round pick, three first-round pick swaps (2028, 2029, 2030) and three second-round picks (2029, 2032, 2033), sources tell ESPN.
