Where does Quickley's contract fit with his draft class? All 2020 Rookie Scale Extensions signed last year: A. Edwards: 5yr/$236.7M (30%) T. Haliburton: 5yr/$236.7M (30%) L. Ball: 5yr/$197.2M (25%) D. Bane: 5yr/$207M (24.1%) >> I. Quickley: 5yr/$175M (21.4%) << D. Vassell:

Eric Gordon opting out wasn't good for PHX. They only have his Non-Bird Rights so he'll likely leave in Free Agency. Josh Okogie opting out isn't the same. PHX has his Early Bird Rights and can use that to sign him to a much larger contract moving forward (up to 4yrs/$56.5M).

All signs point to the Lakers fielding an almost identical roster to last year. If LeBron picks up his option (and so do C. Wood & C. Reddish), the Lakers will be at $182.6M committed to 13 players. With Bronny unlikely to sign a Two-Way, that leaves them with only 1 more spot

If the Lakers want to open up the full $12.9M NTMLE to sign someone like Klay, Harden or Valanciunas, they’d only have $33.5M left for LeBron - about $16M below his max. In that scenario, they’d likely try to trade away some salary to open up more money for LeBron.

Per source: KCP likely to sign with the Orlando Magic.

As mentioned a few hours ago, PG will be leaving the Clippers. The main catalyst was that LAC was set on a max 3-years of GTD money - they didn't want to go out further than Kawhi's contract - they have a clear timeline. All signs point to PG going to Philadelphia, but not set

Not much talk yet on DeRozan… When his name pops up things could get really interesting, putting a certain contender over the top.

BOS 24-25: $26M > the tax. Tax bill of ~$70M BOS 25-26: $32M > the tax (as a Repeater). Tax bill of ~$175M It's impressive how the Boston Celtics have continued to re-commit to their roster despite a very large financial obligation in the near future. We have seen some

This also highlights the financial impact of the increased tax rates which begin in 2025-26 and shows how the league is dissuading teams from operating way over the tax, especially for an extended period of time. A difference of just $6M from year-to-year resulting in a $100M+

The max Bronny could sign for with the Lakers using the 2nd Rd Exception would be 4yrs/$9.1M: · 24/25: $2,087,519 · 25/26: $2,191,897 · 26/27: $2,296,272 · 27/28: $2,486,995 And Y4 would likely be a T/O under this structure so LAL could make him an RFA after Y3. This

The Orlando Magic are a prime example of how overrated Cap Space can be. They went into the offseason with the ability to create over $60M of Cap Space and they ended up only being able to attract KCP and using the rest to re-sign their own players. And bare in mind that this is

Why would LeBron be interested in taking a pay cut to help the Lakers stay below the 2nd Apron? During the season a 2nd Apron team will incur certain roster building restrictions (over & above the 1st Apron restrictions) such as: • No access to the MLE or BAE • Inability to

Top Remaining FAs: 1. DeMar DeRozan 2. Tyus Jones 3. Miles Bridges 4. Caleb Martin 5. Gary Trent Jr. 6. Malik Beasley 7. Saddiq Bey 8. Isaac Okoro 9. Buddy Hield 10. Spencer Dinwiddie

What's DeRozan's Market Value?

Kawhi took less than his max. Lebron was willing to take less. Brunson took $100M+ less. We’re in a very interesting time in the NBA where we’re seeing rich players giving richer owners a discount, to help them navigate around rules that they created.
