Notice Of Separation: The 2023 NBA Free agency/Off-Season Thread

i can’t believe Russ agreed to play for chump change

he must like the clippers not even crazy tbh. if pg and kawhi stay healthy they got a run in em. if not, he's free to be that guy all he wants

 

[Voice of Reason]

I like Brooks and FVV for Houston.

brooks for 4/80 without jjj behind him is a hell of a thing to gamble on houston needs actual professionals in the building tho so it is what it is

 

[MarcP]

Nurkic contract isn’t even that bad.

Tyler, Duncan, Kyle, Jacques, and Jovic should get it done

I don't think Jacques is a part of the deal. He just signed his contract today so he can't be traded for a while.

 

[Raquinotj]

done? no way. 20 mil a season for the next 4 years tho?

Yes it was an overpay at $20 million but he’s gonna be in the league for a long time, cats in here were saying we’d never see him again.

Grizzlies got like 20 players on the roster

How much of a professional is Brooks though if his previous team flat out say "nah not worth the headache" and didn't even attempt to negotiate with him? He was said to be immature as hell behind the scenes and on the court the way he guns shows no discipline.

 

[CantStop]

Ime not playing

All the knuckleheads gone

 

[who_better_than_me]

Considering what they spent and who they spent it on, I agree.

Had to have been udoka who wanted nothing to do with him.

It was clear that Udoka wasn’t big on Harden… makes sense with the way he ran his offense a defense in Boston, harden doesn’t fit the puzzle on either side

Russ has made just shy of $350m in his career (not even including sneaker/endorsement money) and he turns 35 next season. Makes sense he'd value situation and continuity over squeezing a few more M's elsewhere.

lets be real memphis scapegoated the shyt out brooks

for them to call out brooks but give ja mid-season summer camp vacation to a 'counselor' only to watch the guy get suspended after lying in the commissioners face.... memphis can't be taken too seriously

 

[Houston911]

@Rhakim

What was that nonsense you were talking where you were blindly praising gm’s?

These dudes don’t know what the FUKK they’re doing

 

[CHICAGO]

It's crazy how media/sports journalism still has the ability to sway public perception of a player

Was at the barber shop literally having a debate with a fellow bulls fan trying to explain to me why he wouldn't trade for Ja morant?!?! Kept citing his off court issues smh I said this is how teams like the Lakers keep getting guys for cheap. I thought as a society we were beyond letting media persuade our opinions smh

THAT WAS ALL KLUTCH SPORTS
MEDIA PROPAGANDA.

nikkaS THOUGHT THEY
WERE GONNA RUN DUDE
OUT THE LEAGUE BECAUSE
HE GOT UNDER BRONS SKIN.

Isn't that what you are supposed to do?

He also has sex with transsexuals

It’s insane/hilarious that everyone is just so ’grown’ and politically correct to overlook that
