OKC knows damn well they don't wanna be stuck with the tax bill for 3 years. If they wanna play hard ball let them. I dint want Riley to give up any picks in this deal. We must take picks . Besides I only wanted this the picks out of the deal in case Beal deal was an option

 

[iamduval]

Well Beal is definitely going to reject the wizards extension offer later this month but we don’t have the assets to get him. I looked at that wall contract and it’s bad but I think other teams would deal with it too

If he doesn't sign the extension, I hope we can scoop him up this offseason

how do we know this? Has he suggested that he's unhappy there? I'm still puzzled as to why theyd wanna trade him

 

[Pito]

89k followers on twitter but probably fake news. A Beal trade by himself would definitely cost one of herro/bam, imo.

 

[iamduval]

If all it took was Herro and bam then that would be a no brainer. I’m thinking they will want multiple firsts similar to the pg13 deal

 

[WaddupDoe!]

most likely fake news.

Thunder aren't worried about any tax bill or anything with CP3, nobody on the team that's in the plans needs to be paid until his deal is expiring, & their just under $5m over the tax line right now with a year to get under.

CP3 & the team both would prefer him to be somewhere else but the Thunder aren't/don't have to be in any real rush. CP3 is the one on the back end of his career so if he really, really wants out bad enough he'll have to be the one to play nice to help make it happen.

Still think he ends up in Miami at some point once Riley figures out that getting Beal is pretty much impossible.

I dint think Miami takes Paul without picks for a few reasons:

1. The contract. Enough said
2. We need picks badly
3. He's in the back end of his career while we have players were trying to develop in the role he'd play
4. He's not a Riley type player

We have already gotten rid of 2 of our 3 worst contracts we had (H.Whiteside and T.Johnson) so we're not in a hurry to take on another worst contract unless there's a benefit to us in it which would be those pics. And honestly those pics are only valuable to us if we can get Beal with them. Like I said before this deal is not about what anybody wants to give up for Chris Paul. It's about what OKC is willing to pay to another team to take on Chris Paul and this contract

So, for those asking the question: Why did Butler choose to force a sign-and-trade transaction to the Heat this summer, with seemingly better win-now options in the Clippers, Lakers, Rockets and 76ers out there? It’s important to understand the competitive mentality Butler approaches life with.

While Butler might have been able to win more games this upcoming season with one of his other free agent options, the Heat’s mantra of being “the hardest-working, best-conditioned, most professional, unselfish, toughest, nastiest, most disliked team in the NBA” aligned with Butler’s personality.

A league source said Butler left his June 30 meeting with the Heat at AmericanAirlines Arena convinced Miami was the right fit for him because of its proven track record of putting winning ahead of everything else. Butler, who turns 30 in September, had other free agent meetings scheduled, but they were quickly canceled once he met with the Heat on the first day of free agent negotiations.

I cant wait to see him get back to 2017/2018 JJ
I expect Dion to come on strong too if we keep him. He seems motivated.
If they can give us good minutes which will allow Spoelstra to keep Jimmy fresh 'til 4th quarter of games...watch out!

Who are the big men left on our roster aside from Bam Adebayo?

Him, meyers leonard and......olynyk if you wanna count him as a big man lol

I keep forgetting we kept Olynyk.

He's a big who can't really guard other bigs but he rebounds and has a J which will help with spacing when JB or Dion go to the basket.
