Trade & FA 2023-24: PHX Wants Lebron+Bronny| Jazz to Shop Collins

[SleepingHero]

Tim MacMahon on ESPN just said Luka was in contact with Kyrie and wanted/urges him to re-sign fwiw

[Chicagojk]

What is Portland’s tax situation. I thought they would match Thybulle at MLE. Is that not the case?

No Christian Wood yet huh? You think he goes today?

Jesus

maybe I’m wrong.

Thybulle plays more scared than Josh Green. Can’t imagine both of them on the floor.

I think he will stay, since they didn't keep Reddish. They need a wing like him

[Chicagojk]

Team option for Bruce Brown in year 2. Good for him. Made 15 million so far in the NBA. Next year will make 23 million.

Yeah I don't think he goes today. I think the Heat are going to try and grab him for some sort of cheap contract.

If this is with 8% raises per year, Kyrie signed on for $38.81M, $41.91M, $45.26M. Based on CBAmavs' sheets, Dallas can afford that deal with Phoenix for Ayton without giving up McGee. Not that Phoenix is still interested, but

Mavs cap situation. I think, BaE will go to Powell

Heat only sign winning players I don't get it

That is not a very good contract for him, though. 50 mil guaranteed MLE would seem to be better, imho. Great deal for Indy though. Much flexibility with that contract, and they have to spend cap space on something

[dirkfansince1998]

He does nothing else. Rather give Prosper those minutes than spend MLE on Matisse. 

Maybe I’m way off but I’d be surprised if he beats the Georges Niang deal. 3/26

4 year MLE would be 4/54ish?

Not sure if the shooting numbers are sustainable but SleepingHero already pointed out his improved percentages with the Blazers. Looking at his role on the Mavs roster. Mavs had the 2nd best offense with Kyrie and Luka. With an all time bad defense. I think the Mavs could get away with Thybulle (even if his 3-point percentage drops back into the low/mid 30s).

[Mavs2021]

Bullock for Thybulle/Reddish?

I think the Blazers would accept that, if they still try to win now.

Use the MLE on Reed
Use the BAE on Bamba

Then go to work in the trade market

Doncic/Hardy/
Irving/Thybulle/
Green/Reddish/
Kleber/Reed/OMP
Holmes/Bamba/Lively

McGee/Wood/THJ to move for another starter.

He's betting on himself.  If he balls out next year he will make that $50 over two years and sign another big contract.

"Mavs are on the phones trying to get some other guys. wanted Kyrie to recruit bruce brown but timing didn't line up" - Chris Haynes on NBATV

[omahen]

Lakers use full MLE on Vincent

https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status...8388757505

[Chicagojk]

Lakers sign Vincent 3 year 33 million. they can’t do that and Gordon right?

[RoyTarpleysGhost]

Bobby Marks on espn just said Thybulle makes sense for Mavs.

Maybe I’m just wrong on him. I’m wrong a lot

Yea. That’s instead of Gordon

[omahen]

"Mavs are on the phones trying to get some other guys. wanted Kyrie to recruit bruce brown but timing didn't line up" - Chris Haynes on NBATV

For that contract, you get just Kyrie, not Kyrie the recruiter

[Mavs2021]

Bobby Marks on espn just said Thybulle makes sense for Mavs.

Maybe I’m just wrong on him. I’m wrong a lot

Yeah, but not for the full MLE. That´s too much. If Portland need a veteran SF, then Bullock for Thybulle/Reddish makes a lot of sense. Mavs have been linked to both players.
