It was a terrible contract as soon as he signed it. Paul gives them an out right away and can be treated as an expiring contact if he doesn't fit.

I figured GS was just getting Paul to get off the Poole contract and would waive him but then I thought no way they would want him to jump on with the Lakers. They'll keep him just for spite even if it doesn't work.

I don’t see how he fits style wise.

The Warriors only want players under 6’8” and over 33 years old. Perfect fit.

I've wanted Miami to get John Collins for the last 18-24 months probably. I'm pretty upset that his price tag was just a salary dump. I woulda trade Lowry in a heartbeat for him. My only hope is that Atlanta refused to trade him to Miami because otherwise this a really tough pill to swallow. Idc if his 3 point percentage has fallen the last three years, he woulda been a great fit here.

Loved him for his first couple years but he's really plateaued, hopefully the move gives him a nudge in the right direction.

That's still such a low return. I wonder what the price would have been if they traded him two years ago.

Jazz are quietly assembling a good roster with very tradable players and contracts, while keeping all of their important picks.

I'd rather be a Jazz fan than a Hawks fan, that's for sure.

I think Quinn Snyder is an incredible coach, but I'm not even sure he can coach the "Trae Young" out of Trae Young.

Send Harden, Kyrie, Kawhi, and PG to Japan to form a super team. Free the NBA.

No big surprises right now. Most of the deals look fair for both sides other than the Kyrie contract. Who was Dallas competing with?

He's big in Japan.

I guess those silly Mavs must have believed Kyrie when he told them that.

Idk that Jerami Grant deal seems insane.

Losing VanVleet for nothing kind of sucks.

Yeah, I jinxed it with my post. Both Granr and VanVleet's deals are way too high.
