OKC has 8 legit guys who can play well in the playoffs, and with how Presti drafts. I wouldn't even be surprised if one of their draft picks besides Topic is able to crack into their rotation. Meanwhile, they have like 4 first round picks in a deep 2025 draft, including Clipper's pick which could be a potential top 10.
All that to loose to 1 leg Luka
They're the future team of the West it looks like
@@Lynnfordthegreatngl we are going to need an angry Luka to beat this team going forward because if issiah hadtinstein is your only non floor spacer that's a tough team to beat
@@Lynnfordthegreat luka played with two legs and he lost the finals
@@Lynnfordthegreat luka got destroyed in the finals
Bucks picked up two perfect fit guys for their system and added depth. That’s basically all you could ask of them in free agency
Who did they pick up again?
@@vulcanraven9701Delon Wright from Miami and Taurean prince from the lakers
As a heat fan I gotta tell you delon wright isn’t gonna do much
First team all who players 😂
@@Noah-tu2nwYea but the bucks will probably be able to fit him in the rotation better and he might help out more
So we’re just going to skip over the fact that not only did Philly bring in PG… but also brought back Oubre on a solid deal, brought back Embiid’s best ever back up in Andre Drummond, brought in a solid veteran shooter in Eric Gordon. And they’re not even done yet and don’t have to deal with Tobias anymore
When all everyone can say about PG going to the Sixers is "If Embiid and PG can stay healthy...", then you can see that there's not a lot of confidence in this deal. As for Andre Drummond, come on. He's a great rebounder, but he's always going to get cooked by playoff teams, so it's purely a regular season move for a team that needs playoff performers. Kind of the same for Eric Gordon, however he's more impactful than Drummond. Overall, it's really hard to say the Sixers won free agency when there's very little confidence in it working. This free agency will be a winner in hindsight if it's a winner at all
I think he didn’t list the Sixers because it really is Win/Lose depending on the circumstances
I think you mean Adem Bona
Media coverage cost $$$. They almost broke. Everything on minimum. Veteran minimum. Media coverage, minimum. 😂😅😭
He's 34 this dude is gonna get cooked for 4 years by people in their 20s
The Bucks addressed their issues I don’t see a problem
They had no means of signing FAs and they picked up what they needed. Upgrade to Jae crowder and a better bench point. Pretty solid having salary cuffs
The east will be like the west was this year, a blood bath & the bucks might be the 6th best granted they stay healthy. Their championship window has closed
@@lv_lambo3162you sound crazy as long they have Giannis they have a contenders, plus if healthy they’re top 3 in the east
I didn't hear that Hartenstein went to the Thunder. 😳
Really. Bad reception on the mountains????? 😂😅😭😭😭😭
Not mentioning the other LA team is crazy
Bronny is going to have a growth spurt and turn into Wembanyama.
@@awakenedbahamut2574Bronny shooting up to 7ft and actually becoming a good draft prospect would be hilarious
Not really. Love Bron, but they’ve been somewhat over covered by the big sports networks considering they’re not even a top 3 team in the West.
LA Fakers have not improved their roster. The two kids they drafted aint improving next years roster. We know that Lebron is using Creatine and HGH, with Adam Silver's approval. 😎😌😟😐👺
Lakers arent competitors, havent been for 3 years. They also havent done a single thing to mention. Theres your lakers free agency summary
Orlando is going to be even more of a problem defensively this year
They aren't going anywhere until they get a point guard that can shoot. It's only been like a decade.
@@djsognal 😂😂😂
@@djsognalfacts. I don’t think Wagner can be trusted to be the second option on a championship winning team
The biggest issue of the magic is their upcoming payroll with extensions
@@ASBeef Banchero needs a certified ball handler who can playmake and protect the ball as it moves up the court. You're 100% right that Wagner is not that guy.
Milwaukee got better so hush on that. Delon Wright and Taurean Prince are upgrades to their depth. Fixed one of their major issues.
Facts. Given their chained bec of the cap, they did great.
Always a good day when Tucker uploads! ❤
Clippers actually had a decent off season signing guys
Copium
The best way to put it is that the did the almost the best they could given the scenario with losing Paul George cause you don’t wanna go into the second apron
Yeah OKC is gonna be a problem for a long time, stacked with young talent still getting better and then draft picks for days to keep adding cheap young talent to keep skilled players rotating in as unheard of depth. Plus just a fun team to watch play the game. Will be watching more of their games since my team is rebuilding. Haha
Who is your team?🤔
Okc is doing absolutely nothing boy
@@Mdksupreme1nah that’s the frauds over in Dallas
great video brother, as a Thunder fan i defintily agree and IHart is looking like a much better fit than just Claxton or Capela(which are good but not the have the same capablities as iHart).
i would be suprised if it isnt gonne be his breakout season
This was edited?
This is just perfect.
You can’t say Issac’s deal is good and criticize the Pat Williams contract 😂😂😂
Why? JI is an elite defender
Williams isn’t
@@YourWorstNightmare3333 Isaac has played less career games than him and has been in the league 3 more years
@@TheJalinmyles bec of injuries but talent level still isn’t close with all his injuries
@@YourWorstNightmare3333 I can say the same about DRose a few years ago but dude still kept getting injured and also both dudes getting paid more than players like Herb Jones, Naz Ried and equal on average to Lu Dort
@@YourWorstNightmare3333 and he’s 26 vs Patrick Willams 22 who also has at least played 1 full season
Three things you can be certain with in life.
1. Taxes
2. Death
3. Tucker hating on the Bulls.
4. the Bulls messing up their future
So happy for Q Grimes. As i Knicks fan i thought he was the next klay Thompson so him getting to learn from klay for two years on a great team is gonna be huge for him
👏 👏
People need to stop simplying floor spacing as "shoot threes." Hartenstein fits OKC because he's got a big presence under the rim on offence. From rebounding to his weird but somewhat effective floaters. Like this guy can open the space for shooters because teams are gonna be aware that if they don't respect this dude under the rim, he's just gonna collect boards after boards and prolly score on top of your center
thank you for giving my Magic some props!
Random but my god that pass by DeRozan at 8:42 was wild
Giannis seems fresher so far during the Olympic qualifiers. If he can stay healthy along with Kris and Dame they’re just as scary as NY/BOS. I think they have the depth
Deck chairs on the Titanic. They're basically the same team they were last year and that team, if you recall, was...okay. Even when Giannis was healthy. Now he and Dame will be a year older and Doc will still be head coach. Meanwhile, the Pacers, Magic, Sixers and Knicks all got better (The Celtics? They just stayed the best). Pencil in the Bucks for a second-round exit. If they avoid the play-in, that is.
Nah man we just got Alec Burks. The league is coocked.
Bucks got better what?!?!?!?!?
Warriors vid not aging well
18 million dollars a young 3 and D big wing is reasonable. People hating on the contract and I guarantee it was the right move. If we are rebuilding especially. Bulls had a great offseason
The Bucks didn't lose in free agency. They addressed their main issues really well with the vet mins and look poised to contend imo. That's not even considered that their yougner players could make leaps next season.
Not mentioning the Charlotte hornets picking up a young 3/D SG is crazy
Patrick Williams is a good defender and 40% 3 point shooter, it may have been a bit of an overpay but the comparison to Josh Jackson is insane haha
Orlando gonna be scaryy tbh
No tf they won't
@@Mdksupreme1casual who don’t know ball
Clippers aren’t close to losers. They are only down 4-5 estimated wins with the pickups of DJJ+Dunn+KPJ+Batum+Bamba and still making moves. They may be a 45+ win team still.. with way way more youth, flexibility, athleticism, and especially defense
May be idealistic, but as a casual fan, I could see Watson in Denver making a big jump if they play him in an expanded role and make him a primary starter after the the KCP loss. Braun is pretty solid, but the flashes I've seen make me think Watson could absolutely hit 15ppg 5reb and 2+ bl/st if he gets 30+ mpg. That said, we could just as easily drop to the 3-5 seed and be missing all the intangibles. Wishing both sides the best, either way, as it seemed to just be a case of a decent offer being outbidded by another team without and drama or toxicity
They don't even need him to get 15 ppg, if he improves his shot and be like 37 or 38 % from three that would be enough for them
There’s no way Watson is coming even close to 15 PPG. He’ll be closer to 7 PPG.
@gnomechomsky2524 my dude. He averaged that much on less than 20 minutes and like 6 shots per game. Take a second and think before replying with a garbage take. KCP was getting bout 32 minutes, you don't think at age 21 and more minutes this dude could improve? Outta here with that
@ahmadhasan9446 I think you're right, especially considering he's 3rd, maybe 4th option on offense, anyway in this scenario. Would be great to see the efficiency go up since that's where the leagues at, cause his motor and potential are real good at age 21 with the talent he's got around him.
@@thatguy1706 I’m a huge nuggets fan and watched all 82 regular season games last year and all playoff games too. Trust me, Watson is still super raw. Occasionally he’ll score like 15 in a game, sure. Happens once in a blue moon. But to AVERAGE 15 a game means that for every game where you only score 10, you have another game where you score 20. For every game you only score 5, you have another game where you score 25. There’s no scenario where Watson even comes close to having multiple 20-25 point games throughout this upcoming season. He’s years away from being able to do that. For perspective, some players that averaged 15 PPG last year include Malik Monk, OG Anunoby, Bojan Bogdanovic, Derrick White, and John Collins. All of those guys are WAY better scorers than Watson.
the bucks signing delon wright and tarean prince would definitely make them winners, but that could have poorly timed with the video
Bucks are cooked.
For CHICAGO, in order to tank one of the key ingredients is to OVERPAY an average player to gobble up salary and ensure you'll lose games
Spolo when IHart was on the Knicks - *crickets*
Spolo when IHart is on the Thunder - What an amazing player! 😮
People were once excited forJusuf Nurkic. Weird right? That's hartenstein. Nurkic 2.0 29 million a year lol
@@pv2639 Nurkic is injury prone and a negative on defense. Hartenstein has played 157 games last year and is a positive on defense. And is great in the short roll and has a floater. But, sure. They're both white. Great comparison.
Denver losing kcp just pushed them further away from the title. They should’ve invested in him & offered him what he deserved.
I love the 2nd apron because it really changes things now. Good players are not certain to stay with their team anymore because they could feel lowballed. This feels more like 2k
I disagree, kinda, I think it'll be good because it forces teams to be smarter with contracts, but I don't think it'll affect top tier players much unless their team sucks. Which was always the case, if anything it'll make it so they will sign elsewhere instead of sign and trade because other teams won't be able to so easily accommodate that anymore. So FA will be bigger in that regard, but not trades
Nah, the 2nd apron is absolutely horrible, for teams who draft and develop well, they'd be forced to lose the players they invested so much in for no reason, it's actually bad
@@diablogaming8095 Yeah but if they lose players like that it'll affect the teams anyway. All that shake up that will happen every FA will be very interesting IMO. Nuggets, Bulls, Bucks, Heat, Warriors and Clippers are all big losers right now IMO and won't be serious contenders next season. The Celtics only have 1 or 2 more years before they blow it all up thanks to the 2nd apron. They just guaranteed nearly 1B dollar in payroll over the next few years. They might as well have guaranteed that they would also offload some of that payroll lol. I'm definitely expecting OKC to be top 5 over the next 4-5 years and they'll win at least one championship with their young core advantage. A Knicks - Thunders finals would really be fun next season and I expect 2 different teams in the finals nearly every year now.
Thunder & Mavs are clear winners. Spurs and Magic just made right move. Nuggets problem is overpaying MPJ, also having bum like Nnaji as backup center. Bulls resigning Williams is not a loss, just a mid move. And Clippers dodged the bullet, not being stuck above 2nd pron with aging PG13.
Why would you trade Patrick Williams when the Bulls are rebuilding.
How is adding a 0 for 10 klay a winning move, you guys are living in the past
“Sign player good, lose player bad”
Klay is a good signing until he gets in his feels, thinks he's still an all pro and goes 4-26.
With Caruso and Dort, OKC is going to lead the league in flops on ball screens.
Not mentioning the Nets as a winner is crazy
Watch out for team USA. I think a lot of ppl have eyes on Steph and what he could do. Even tho as big warriors and Steph fan. I don't want him to go anywhere. But if he wants to go to another team in order to contend. I can't be mad at him .
I hard disagree with the bucks dude
Kcp good in the season but post season he goes missing. unfortunatelly i know Nuggets rather want him then Porter but. second appron kills team with three players over 30m per year.
Can’t lie I like what the clippers did tho, solid moves kawhi plays better with depth instead of a superteam to me
Only issue with that is the man can't stay on the court.. I love kawhi but the clippers are doomed if they are relying on him for 82 games.
OKC as favorite in the west is the ultimate glaze! I swear these fan boys just watch espn and parrot everything they say. They caught the league by surprise was basically tied for 1st place & ultimately won it bc they continued to play their starters when everyone else rested theirs. That said… I’ve never seen a team so disrespected as the Mavs! They won the west & yet aren’t favorites coming out the west next season? Where they do that? It’s cool, dynasty mode activated! Don’t start glazing after they run it back/win it all next season
When we getting a not top 10?
Magic will still be in same position as last year
Bucks always conservative man. Just pick up scraps from other high profile teams. Crowder…Ingles…Wes Matthew’s..Gallo…Korver … they got a history of this. Bring in young athletes man.
I agree. They were already deep like BOS/NY, just their big 3 being healthy. Giannis looks fresh during these Olympic qualifiers right now. So it’s on Dame & Kris
@@MegaMjjordan Jackson and beauchamp fit build they need. They just refuse to develop players and we know doc rivers. Knicks will run them off the floor. Tbh they should traded khris for somebody younger and more athletic but they so conservative
I can’t believe the hypocrisy of the ‘Luka can’t play defence’ narrative compared to the easy ride Lillard gets…is it racial or just xenophobic?
Wow so Kcp is worth less than hartenstein 😱
Wait.. the Warriors weren't on this list? Didn't this man wast time .... I mean create a whole video about how "sad" it was the warriors lost 2 34yrs+ bench player making a combined 70+mil. I thought for sure he would have them on.
Hartenstein might but what the thunder needed but it is a massive overpay when you see similar players getting less than the mle
They probably did it just because of how many assets they have at their disposal if they want to pivot they absolutely can. It's a lot of money but won't hurt even if it goes poorly.
@@EDTheOneable yeah and a lot of those assets are cheap. They need to pay a certain minimum. Maybe this helped
Okc roster is extremely cheap plus it only two year so the contract is movable also it okc they had to overpay because okc don’t get free agents hartenstein is the bets free agent in okc history and they had to spend the money somewhere and hartenstein was the best option because he one of the few players that can actually play in okc in a position of need
Bulls fan: I'm fine with that P Will deal. Finally he can grow. Derozan is gone and we tryna ship out ball hog Lavine. I'm fine with that deal
If you need 5 out spacing your players aren’t good enough. 4 out in one should be enough or you need to get in the lab
I would rather lose Paul George to free agency than to do a sign and trade. The Clippers can’t afford to be in the second apron for years to come
Go Bucks! 2025!
I disagree about the Clippers, yeah you loose PG, but they managed to get some good rotational pieces, they need a healthy season and they're good. On the hander hand, I like Phil's trying to build a strong rotation around Joel and Maxey, pity that they couldn't keep Buddy Hield. Chicago and Washington are the two biggest mysteries of the NBA rn 😂
Laughable. Lets not mention they have 0 future picks
@@absolutelypro4612 Oh no. Picks on players that aren't guaranteed to be good.
Klay Thompson is washed. I bet Naji Marshall takes his starting spot by next season. I'm going to miss having him on the pelicans. For anyone not familiar, he plays similar to Josh Hart.
Your whole franchise is washed...who tf really pelicans fans?
Thunder coming out of the West next year.
I noticed no mention of the Suns, who have added Monte Morris and Mason Plumlee. I feel like they addressed their needs as a team, but also still felt like it was a lateral move
Which means that they aren't winners or lovers?
What happened with people overhyping Naji Marshall out of nowhere?
It’s about the ‘Luka bump’…you know the same boost Derrick Jones Jr got…imagine how Naji is going to play with all those wide open Luka-assisted 3s 😎
I'll say it, Nuggets are the Bucks of the West, win one ring then fall off from there.
Another Lakers L: Buddy Hield passed on the Lakers and signed with the Warriors on a reasonable deal. Golden State only gave up a second rounder as well.
If Denver could've signed Hield to replace KCP, that would've been a huge upgrade.
Warriors got hield
Hield is hardly an upgrade on KCP when you compare both ends of the floor. Same as when the Bucks thought Dame was better than Jrue Holiday.
@@javierlandaverde4108 yeah. It doesnt really move the needle for warriors though. They need size and a good #2 option. Kuminga is a#3 option on a championship caliber team.
@@vulcanraven9701 Warriors address so far two problems they had
They added Milton for defense and offense and a playmaker ( might be insurance for a bigger trade)
They added Buddy Hield who addresses shooting problems outside of curry and offense they needed off the bench of as a starter. He can improve on defense but warriors added another shooter / shot creator and secondary ball handler they miss from Poole leaving
Kyle Anderson adds more depth and size as PF or small center. Glue guy signing. Will give the warriors much needed impact off the bench as a sixth man.
The signings they made is starting to look like they are insurance for a bigger trade package that might include Kuminga or wiggins leaving.
Knicks was winners too
whoever remotely thinks that the bucks ''lost'' free agency is beyond fixable mentally.
Besides them being incapable of actually improving the team, what did they do that deserves them to be considered as winners?
And since you implied that Bucks aren't "Losers," that means you consider them as "Winners," so no in between answer, it's either they're winners or they're losers.
And I'd like to hear your response
@@Frank-hv7xj wym incapable? they improved the roster by LOADS, They are having a better off season then mavs and 0-10 klay. Winners.
@@southerncoastproductions7587 🤣 you mean to tell me, Bucks adding Taurean prince and Delon Wright Is a way better off-season than the Mavericks!!?? LMAO!
You must be a kid or super casual fan or something to really believe the Bucks had a better off-season than the Mavericks. And this not even me being fan of the Mavericks, but the Mavericks, objectively had a WAY BETTER, MILES WAY BETTER off-season than the Bucks! Talking about Bucks had a good off-season, get outta here, stay off the internet 🤣💀

@@southerncoastproductions7587 alright whatever kid 😂👍 bye
Here after the Buddy Hield sign & trade to the Warriors!
Interesting 🤔
He is washed
I didn't watch the video yet but Lakers are by far the losers of this free agency
Bronny 4yrs 8mill..Hield 3yrs 21mill, George 4yrs 204mill..WTF is going on in FA. NONE of these 3 players are going to move the meter with their new perspective teams. Bronny is G Leauge 1st year...if George doesn't miss time, Embid definitely will (plus Philly has no bench)..and Hield got overpaid because outside of his 3pt percentage over the last 3 seasons (and he was awful last year but good the 2 previous yrs)...he cannot finish at the rim, create his own shot, hit the mid range or hit the 3 as consistantly as he once did. Lakers, Clips & 76ers are being overrated..the fact that the Celtics signed 6 players (Tatum, White, Hauser, Kornet, Queeta, Tillman) from last years team (that still has ALL 5 starters signed through 2026) that won 64 regular season games (3 by 50pts or more)..16-3 in the playoffs, while winning the Chip (#18)..most all time, No#1 offense, and No#2 defense ALL YEAR..And 12 players (including Prichard who is signed through next season) are returning. F Philly and F PG..sixers gotta dig deeper..GO🍀
I think you are just a C's fan. Sixers are not done yet with the players, still filling up the roster. Sixers have now 3 legit stars and will be finally in the EC finals. Hopefully we are healthy and than nobody can beat us. PG signing was just someones od the trio healthy problems. When all od them are playing there's no team to beat us
Bro wrote all that just to be so wrong
Lmao buddy just yapped with his biased Celtics mouth 😅
That bias goes hard Philly move is a great move puts them in contention for 3-4 more years. His move isn’t for the down the line it’s for now if he’s bad then they rebuild and eat a bad contract for two seasons juts like Tobias again
As a Celtic fan, I disagree entirely about pg, if pg stays healthy he is a huge needle mover. He takes pressure off maxey to be #1 guy if embid is injured, provides excellent defense, and let's be fair here, the sixers ain't done. They are gonna be a problem. So while Celtics retention of our guys is good, I don't think it compares to getting a guy like pg.
Klay is "still an outstanding shooter," really? He looked awful, and the bricks he threw up clanked everywhere....even on easy layups. Klay got lucky that a team signed him. I don't think he's no where near the player he used to be.
Shot 40% from 3...
@@stevenvo8183 Basketball reference says he shot 38% last yr ...down from his career 41%
Magic are big winners. KCP is way better for them than PG13 and especially Klay. Resigning JI was great, and he’s a far better player than Williams.
signing role to 30mil is not a win.
i still think klay is coming off the bench and they will start naji marshall.
klay and gafford as well as hardy/exum being our main bench guys sounds great to me. Since Lively will more then likely start over Gafford now.
I would have liked to know what were Tucker thoughts were on the rest of the NBA and not just a handful of them..
Lol. I dont think Pat Riley cares about Jimmy lol
Too early to say
Okc has a potential dynasty but they’re still a year away. Mavs should come out of the west.
Denver is wasting Jokic's prime years.
Hartenstein becoming massively overrated
Feels like joker and Giannis will retire with 1 ring
Jokic definitely has 1 to 2 more good runs he can make but Gianni's might have missed his window for more championships
Giannis yes, but Jokic HELL NO, he'll definitely get a few more
@jakeogroton Jokic has way more than 1 or 2 runs he can makes, stop the bs talk
Idk depends if Giannis dips from the Bucks I can see another ring, Jokic I can see one more.
Lakers are missing on the looser side. No big star from FA. They are not better than last year. They are still a play in team. That’s a big L
Losing Klay for Hield, Anderson and Melton is a BIG DUB for the Warriors.
Now if they can just manage to get rid of #23... they'll be one of the biggest winners of free agency
Yoi clearly are nothing but a fool, Klay is a big loss for them, stop that bs talk, you'll see when dallas wins this title
@@Mdksupreme1 "I'm a fool" but Warriors WITH Klay couldn't make the playoffs, and with 31 minutes played in the play-in game Klay went scoreless...

Loser: Philly. Relying on an injury-prone and aging Paul George and an always-injured Embiid... first or second round exit again.
Honestly, i hear it, because even if they stay healthy I'm not fully convinced that they can win
Knicks is even more injury prone.
@@ahmadhasan9446 U can say anything about Emiid but that man helthy is unstopable

Well just signing Mitchell doesn’t make them winners.
They still need to trade garland and either Allen or mobely cause this team isn’t doing much as is.
@@jsnike91 dawg said KCP was a winning signing. The Cavs could have A lost Mitchell or B kept him he signed a max deal. Aka winners. If he left they’d be on every loser list.
@@bobby6427 You cant be a winner if your team doesnt get better from signing or trade.
@@emersonssbb so if the Cavs didn’t sign Mitchell do they get better or worse?
@@bobby6427 They get worse. But resigning mitchell doesnt make you contend. Knicks and Sixers signing Paul George and Mikal make them contenders. Now if you had something like Klay or Demar signing with the Cavs then yes they would be winners.
How are the bulls bigger losers than the lakers 😂
The Bulls are only losers if they run it back with LaVine and DeMar again.
But based on the moves they've made, I definitely can't see that happening.
Josh Jackson was a terrible defender, P Will is so much better of a player than Josh Jackson ever was
Winners: thunder clippers mavs Knicks nets
Losers: lakers warriors heat
I feel bad for Giannis
Why he is a champion in a small market , multiple MVPs and Dpoy
Why? Cause he team lost in the first round twice?
Boo hoo 💀
I’m still waiting for rob pelinka to wake up
Nobody wants to play with Lebron and the circus over there in LA.
Mitchell?...Cavs?..Hello?...A top 15 player staying in a small market that didn't even draft him or he is from the area is huge!!
Top 15 might be a stretch
Only winners goes to teams that can contend. Getting Mitchell back makes you a playoff team but not contender.
Play is washed
First
Ill never understand turning down 2/$48M and accepting 3/$50M
He wants to escape that Cali tax. He owns million dollar homes there. He'll be fine
He wanted a guaranteed 3rd year. Warriors never offered the extra 3rd year. Never was about the money after the season ended. Before then, yes. He was trying to get one last 100 mil but he didn’t perform. Owner was banking that his value would drop, no teams Interested and he would sign the minimum. Also office was giving him a cold shoulder business approach. He already knew halfway in the season he made his mind up in leaving. Was disappointed the team prioritize Poole and Wiggins contract over his extension. At the end both ownership and Klay’s agent and Klay himself as well. Lack of communication from both sides creates confusion, frustration.
It’s like ghosting from both sides.
@@ColdHoops ok but that doesn't make sense either because on AAV he would still come out ahead in California even after tax
@@javierlandaverde4108 yes but that's just ego talking. A guaranteed 3rd year is almost worthless in the NBA if it essentially is only paying $2M. And if we are talking about numbers in the neighborhood of 48-50M, leaving the team that I'm going to have my number retired with and is going to build a statue of me one day isn't worth 2M. He has to understand in his head that he basically got max money for either not playing at all or playing like a 25-30M player over the last 5 years. He hasn't been max Klay in a long while. He could have taken the 2/48 and very likely gotten another deal after that that would have been worth more than the 3rd year of this deal. It would be different if he had a player option after 2 but doesn't look like he does
@@Andrew-ms8md he’s 34. This is essentially his last payday. He didn’t pull a Draymond with rich paul marketing techniques forcing warriors to sign him nor asking curry to tell owner to pay up. Klay is genuine so when he wants to get down to business and be transparent that’s what he does and wants. Ownership ghosted him and gave him a lot of stress and frustration. He wanted a new change and ownership also wanted new change so he had to go.
How are the heat and bucks losers? Are they supposed to magically create cap space out of thin air? How are the Sixers winners? Name a single player on their roster that has had playoff success.
I cannot stress enough, KCP for $22m a year is **not** a win lmao.
especially considering he's not going to have Jokic creating easy buckets for him anymore
His upside is defense and veteran presence. He doesnt need Jokic for that
Orlando needed scoring and he doesn't detract from defense either. He's a good player and having good players is how you have a good team. 22mil for a player of KCP's caliber is par for the course and Orlando still has a great priced roster. Silly take IMO, ORL is a clear winner in this deal.
@@curlyfries1377 for perspective, Aaron Gordon got $22m this year. that's the kind of player you should be getting for that money, minimum.
I'm looking at Orlando's roster and honestly he's not even an improvement over the guys they already have. basically he's taking Joe Ingles minutes (assuming those minutes don't go to Anthony Black)
Brochero isn’t Jokic but ORL attack a lot the paint. They needed shooting to space the floor and he will still get clean looks.
@@uberneanderthal Who cares? Gordon got paid years ago. What a ridiculous comment.
I remember last year when the Bucks "won the offseason" by trading for Lillard. None of this wins/lose talk means remotely anything, just blowing hot air.
Like you?
@@djsognal Not really. I'm not actually claiming anything. I did use a recent, pertinent example of people claiming win/loss based on paper and wild guesses, which can run the gamut in any direction your fantasy takes you.
@@dneuens K. He gets paid for those opinions. You don't. I think that settles that win/lose talk.
@@djsognal That's what we call a non-sequitur, meaning your conclusion has nothing to do with anything. I'm not saying the guy can't make his videos or express his opinion, and he can make money on it if he can. Hell, I'm helping him in the algorithms eyes by engaging with a comment. But these videos also invite discussion and critique, so I don't see what point you're trying to make or why you appear to be salty in my pointing out what should be obvious: the offseason doesn't guarantee a single thing about the actual season. Deeming winners & losers when you're likely to be wrong a majority of the time, same as "experts", "pundits", and your average Joe.
Giannis is going to leave Milwaukee.
For sure
No he’s not lol
The 2 biggest losers are the Clippers and the Bucks, the Bucks should have at least tried to trade Dame for Paul Gearge, Paul will have been a better fit than Dame!!!
And I think Phoenix is winner as well for trying!!!
Please do us all a favor and delete this bro 🤦🏾♂️
