People need to remember he was picked off a scrap heap and people weren't expecting anything from him. He was key to much of our regular season success.

RE: Trade & FA 2023-24: PHI Keeping An Eye on Butler | Butler Wants Max Extension - Winter - 05-03-2024 Exum's problem is that he is overly-cautious about making a mistake. He passes up reasonable shots to make a pass. This last game was a bit better, but I'm not sure he can fix that entirely this playoff-season. We may have to wait until next year to see. It's understandable really considering his history, but we need the best version of Exum given our current bench. RE: Trade & FA 2023-24: Booker Likes NYK? Vogel Out?

Of course the analysis is done as of this point. Season is not over yet and things can change. I loved how Exum played during the regular season and he was a great find. But, looking at this point in time, a reliable scoring guard is something we could use.

That was Jimmy’s PR spin. They made sure that he didn't want to stay and offered a last minute max deal when they couldn't find a replacement. At that point it was to late and they received less than what the Mavs gave up for PJ in return for Butler. Considering that the same story repeated itself with different co-stars in the following years I would put the blame on the 76ers. Throwing Harden, Simmons, Horford and Butler under the bus to protect the GM, coach and most of all Embiid. This year Tobias Harris is the scapegoat. Trading him won't change a thing because Morey and Embiid are still in charge and whoever replaces him will join the list of scapegoats next season. RE: Trade & FA 2023-24: Booker Likes NYK?

I also don't see how to upgrade a starting spot without sacrificing any D. Playoff success requires putting defenders around Luka and Kyrie. We have a delicate balance right now that works well. I agree with about every word here. It echoes what I was thinking, thanks for putting it into words! The main thing is the idea that we DON'T need to add a star, but rather are better if we focus on the "lots of defense, hope they also are making shots" worker bees who do the little things - and whose price tag is also modest, as a result of the fact they aren't big scorers each game. That brings us back to DJJ, just as you did. One note about "moving salary" for DJJ, is that moving THJ to accomplish that is unlikely to add a huge amount of room. That's based on the assumption it's moving THJ with less salary coming back (in a one-for-one type swap) rather than trying to find someone to take him into their cap room, so you don't have to pay the price for a pure salary dump. But in a salary-match deal, that one-for-one will be limited to a $7.5M difference at best, and the difference is likely to be smaller. Here's the practical point - if we assume THJ is sent in that sort of salary-reducing swap, and factor in the rest of the payroll vis-a-vis a hard cap at Apron 1, they probably can't get past about $9M as the limit they can pay DJJ, and it may be closer to $8M, numbers which are a good ways away from the big MLE. Getting to that assumes they're trading THJ for someone making about 10M like Caruso --- but if they are taking back someone $12M/$13M/$14M instead, their limit on what they can pay DJJ sinks back closer and closer to that TxMLE. Is it a futile quest? Maybe. Maybe not, though -- players with such limited offense are often cheaper than we expect, and there's also the fact he seems to have found a home here that he likes, so those can be helpful factors in somehow keeping him. So I do wonder if the most attractive "DJJ solution" ends up being a TxMLE offer on a 1+1, an offer of all we have combined with an expression of wanting him here long term. Once you have your core of players, and it's all just a world of keeping the guys you have, raises and hard caps and so on are less of an issue, if you are willing to pay the tax cost itself.

At that point it was to late and they received less than what the Mavs gave up for PJ in return for Butler. That wasn't Embiid's fault. Butler didn't get along with former coach, Brett Brown. You have to remember, that the Sixers chose to give Tobias Harris an extension over Jimmy Butler because of that, so they did a sign-and-trade with Miami. Butler wanted to play with Embiid, and vice versa. They're good friends to this day. He would have been a hell of a better player than Harris, who put up a freak in goose egg in their biggest game of the year. That's why he bailed to Miami. RE: Trade & FA 2023-24: PHI Keeping An Eye on Butler | Butler Wants Max Extension - Mavs2021 - 05-03-2024 Butler is the perfect example of the huge question mark you hitting with players at a certain age, especially under the new CBA. Butler will be 35 before the season starts. Do you want to give him a 180/4 contract (max probably even much more), so you can pay him that much money at 37/38? RE: Trade & FA 2023-24: PHI Keeping An Eye on Butler | Butler Wants Max Extension - F Gump - 05-03-2024 (05-03-2024, 04:15 PM)KillerLeft Wrote: Tobias Harris has long been, and will continue to be, a hard NO from me. Isn't Harris's desirability almost entirely linked to his contract? It's not like he can't play. I've hated the idea of him, on that awful max deal he's had forever. But he is a solid starter, so if he's paid like other solid starters (or even paid LESS than their typical price range) rather than at that bloated max level, it seems like he would be a plus. I see him as the mirror opposite of PJW (and perhaps a case study in how NBA pricing works). The value in TH is that he gives you solid (but not great) scoring on a fairly consistent basis, and he's not awful on defense. So you get some fairly reliable help on one end, and hope he also makes plays on defense so that he's approaching two-way. In comparison, I think I could fairly write a PJW evaluation with the same words I used for TH, but just switch ends of the floor. "The value in TH PJW is that he gives you solid (but not great) scoring defense on a fairly consistent basis, and he's not awful on defense offense. So you get some fairly reliable help on one end, and hope he also makes plays on defense offense so that he's approaching two-way." I think the value for them is about the same, just with different pluses and minuses. I think that's a fair comp, and that it also demonstrates how salary skews greatly to offense. The point being, since anyone halfway decent on offense gets the max anyhow, you are better to pay about the same (the max) for someone like Luka and Kyrie, and then you can fill in around them with players whose price tag is modest because you don't need offense to be their strength. That having been said, would love to have TH too, if he was priced like PJW or less (although I don't see any way to acquire him). But I think he'll go for way more money than I would want to pay, because teams like to pay big for players who can score. |
