A better backup center than Precious AchiuwaPorzingis did go down.
But you listed the penalties thw Celtics will face. They are noteworthy , however ….they won! With no one taking any pay cuts. They are the WORST example to use for your point. JB and Tatum in back to back summers signed the biggest contracts in league history. Plus KP. Plus Derrick white signing a vastly overpriced salary. Plus whatever Jrue is making. No one took paycuts
So to get around roster restrictions what did they do? Sam Howser you’re up. Peyton Pritchard you’re up. That’s how you make organizations put work in, not taking a paycut.
And when you say roster construction, what exactly do you mean?
Brunson
OG
Bridges
Randle
Robinson
Bench: Hart, Divencenzo, Precious, McBride
Who is he saving money for prime Ewing?!?

Stop posting overt pro-league media. That’s what they do. They act the same on debate shows too. Them analysts and experts are ALWAYS in favor of the league and the teams.
This is the same board that still believes All-Star level players are worth no more than 20M, and nobody should make 50 a year outside of proven champions

Competitive in what way? Making the Playoffs and maxing out as an ECF exit? Dude took a massive paycut for a team that still isn't winning no titles. It was objectively a dumbass move by him and his agency and suggesting otherwise is hilarious homerism
What's wrong with winning 55 games and going to the ECF every year?
We just watched the Celtics do it FIVE times before they won a ring
You guys suck. You're only gonna make the ECF is such a weird stance to take. But here we are. Lmao.

Weak ahh whataboutism

Take the max you can get now or get a career altering injury on an expiring and risk not even getting the same offer. It's not that hard a concept to grasp.Me personally I’m not turning down 100 mill so you can sign Thomas Bryant
That’s just me tho
He’s right tho. Brunson has had multiple hip injuries over the last two years. It is kind of smart to lock up the money as a smaller bruising guard.

This is still disingenuous. It assumes that next off season, Brunson would only sign for 3 years
However, it was unlikely that Brunson actually would have wanted to commit himself to New York beyond the 2027-28 season for one simple reason: That will be his 10th season in the NBA.
So let me get this straight, he’s playing it safe and taking the the money at 28, but he’s gonna roll the dice and try to re-up at age 32
lmao
And this thread needs to go in the rafters so we can check back round extension time and see how much the ny fans and ownership feel about giving him that next batch of money
