@StoolGreenie I think your 100% correct.
First team that's really had to adjust the core of its team due to the new CBA.
It's now about depth of a team rather than 3 star players and fill the rest in.
@Savageboston This is such a lazy take.
Name one team who doesn't try to get under the 2nd apron after a season above it?
The team failed to save much money in the trade. They currently sit at $5 million below the 1st apron. Paul George is an awful contract.
Bad trade.
@NickCRadio I really don't understand how they settled for this. We have no plausible explanation yet. Just throwing stuff off the wall here, but did Tatum possibly give the team an ultimatum?
@NickCRadio@BillSimmons I think you need to trade Jaylen with the way the NBA salary cap is now structured.
But trading for Giannis is not the answer.
I do like the Simmons idea of Jaylen to New Orleans for Zion/Murphy/picks.
